So the other week I upgraded my iPad (it's an iPad 2) to iOS 8.0 and since then there was some significant slowdown of apps, and Safari seemed especially effected. Oh it worked, just not at the brisk pace that I'm used to. Anyway, last night I finally updated to iOS 8.1
Never, never again will I do such an upgrade to my ever-trusty iPad 2. And yes, I know that I should upgrade the iPad itself. It's three and a half years...

Pssst... Hey, iTunes Store not opening for ya?
So for the past several weeks my iTunes hasn't been up to snuff. iTunes starts up okay... but when it comes to the iTunes Store it did nothing but show a blank white page with "iTunes Store" printed in the center. And whatever has been the problem with that, it also has kept iTunes from properly updating my iPad. I'm still using Windows Vista (no jokes, please :-P)I tried everything but nothing worked to make iTunes Store functioning on my computer....

Didja know that STARCRAFT II don't run so well on multi-core systems?
Well, you do now! But be of good cheer: I'm about to tell you how to fix that.I've had StarCraft II for awhile now, but haven't played even anywhere close to finishing the first campaign. Among other reasons, I've been frustrated by what I have been certain is too slow performance for the high-end rig I've got it installed on. And yesterday, I finally set out to find out...

For those having tech issues playing FALLOUT 3 on a Windows machine...
Two days ago I wrote how I was currently hooked on Fallout 3, Bethesday Softworks' amazing continuation of the classic Fallout video games from the late Nineties.Well since I wrote that, I had to take my copy of the game back to the Target store that I bought it from. Why? 'Cuz my copy of the Windows version didn't have the white sticker inside the box that had the Windows LIVE Access Key printed on it for that particular DVD. So I uninstalled...

"We're fine. We're all here, fine. How are you?"
Something screwy is amiss with this blog on the technical backside of things. It looked fine yesterday (so far as I can tell) but in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, stuff is missing.If this place looks more whacked than usual, it's prolly just me monkeying around behind the scenes trying to get it all fixed ...

Johnny Robertson is paying good money for this...?
Very strange night of cult leader Johnny Robertson's usual broadcast on WGSR this evening. The first hour was a recording of this morning's "service" at Martinsville Church of Christ. And that in itself was notable because to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that I've ever seen Johnny Robertson praying. Except that his "prayer" was straight out of Luke chapter...

Screen burn-in on an LCD HDTV? Yup
We bought a 37-inch LCD high-definition television set last November. It's specifically an LCD screen because when I was doing research before we went out to look at sets the widespread consensus was that LCD screens don't "burn-in" like plasma screens do.Well, guess what?I can't show what this looks like because it doesn't show up well in photos, but there are two very fine vertical lines running down the entire height of the screen: one line running...
