Posted on June 23rd, 2009 by Dave Taylor

I have a ton of email in my Gmail archive, and sometimes need to dig through older email. Problem is, if I do a search, it shows me all the most recent matches first when what I really want to do is, say, search for messages more than a year old, or 12-18 months ago or similar. Is there any way to do a more sophisticated search than just by keyword?

Posted on May 11th, 2009 by Dave Taylor

I need some advice. My wepage is more or less being held ransom by my webmaster because of her knowledge of html. If I need to make a change of any kind I need to wait a week plus for anything to get done. Now, she wants to charge me an up-front fee for any changes before they are done. I can’t even put on any links because I have to check with her first. How tuff is it to use html and if I was able to learn it how can I get my web page away from her?

Hi Dave. I’m hugely enamored of the Google Maps feature on my Apple iPhone, but there’s one thing that baffles me: how do I reset the “current location” as a starting or ending point when I’m using the phone for directions?

Saving MAC OS X Updates To Your Network

Posted on February 10th, 2009 by Dave Taylor

I administer a network of about twenty computers and would like to have more control over how system updates are applied on the machines, so I always know the state of each system.
