Missing file names under documents or photos in thumbnail view

Lately, more than a few people have had trouble with missing file names in the thumbnail view of some of their folders. It isn’t entirely apparent why this happens, but fortunately the cure is pretty simple. If you are one of the poor souls who happens to be missing their file names, follow these steps:

  1. Open the offending folder to see the thumbnails
  2. Click View from the menus (or the view button on the toolbar), and click Details
  3. Hold the SHIFT key down on your keyboard and Click View from the menus (or the view button on the toolbar), and click Thumbnails


You should now see thumbnails with file names under them.

Zoho at CES

We were pleased to run into my favorite Web 2.0 app representatives in the hall at CES, Zoho! Zoho offers a complete online office experience for no cost. Zoho applications can be accessed any time, any where with any computer and a web browser. How can they offer such a great product for no cost?

Print just what you want…

I am resurrecting this great tip from my archives. This tip first appeared about four years ago on the show and then the web site. I wanted to share it again because of our new listeners and the extreme usefulness of the tip.

Printing information from the web can sometimes be frustrating. A long web page yields reams of paper when you only wanted a couple of pages. Read on to learn how to print only the pages you want!

  1. Highlight the part of the page you want to print with your mouse

Rick and Adam return to terrestrial radio on Wednesday, December 19!!

We are returning to the Grand Junction, Colorado air waves this Wednesday the 19th on KAFM 88.1 FM. KAFM is our local public radio station and has a fantastic line up of music and public service programs. We have been give the opportunity to appear once per month (third Wednesday of every month) from Noon to 12:30pm Mountain Time.

At this moment, we plan on talking mainly about newsy tech items and possibly end with a practical computer tip. We will be moderated by their public affairs host and be talking with him or her. It won’t be a call-in show, just informational.

We hope that with your support in listening to the program, writing to the station, and calling the station, we can get a weekly one hour call-in gig.

Anyone can listen to the show by visiting KAFM’s web site and tuning into their live stream. You will also find contact information for the station’s program director if you wish to call or write.

We look forward to this new opportunity and hope you get a chance to tune in this Wednesday from Noon-12:30pm Mountain time!

Video Introduction to our new show.

This is my first crack at a video recording via our new pod/video cast that we are starting tomorrow night. The video and audio aren’t in sync, and the sound is pretty distorted…but again it is my first attempt at this kind of recording. Our setup for the show is much cleaner. We had a cleaner run during our initial testing Monday night. We are excited to start this new venture and hope you are too.

Sally called today and wondered how to get her iTunes to a micro-SD card that she can then listen to on her cell phone. I’m not sure of the legality of this program, but it appears to do the trick. It’s called Sound Taxi.
