I can’t tell you how many times I sit down at someone’s computer and their Mighty Mouse only scrolls in one direction. There’s a quick, very easy fix that will bring back your scrolling in all directions. Take a clean piece of paper. Turn your mouse upside down, apply a little bit of pressure and roll that ball all over the paper. If you’re doing it right you should see faint little marks like in the image above. Now plug it back in and give it a whirl. This fixes 99% of the “broken” Mighty Mice I see.

I couldn’t wait to test the camera in the new 3GS. This should work well with Evernote. I still would like a zoom on this. Maybe there’s an App for that?

I’m very excited to announce that our Senior Systems Engineer Kevin will be blogging and twittering for your geeky pleasure. Kevin has been doing this professionally for over 13 years. He’s our server and Xsan specialist. You will notice his posts are very different than mine as I spend my days in the field with the people, he’s the guy in your server room that you only see when something bad has happened. Follow Kevin on Twitter. It’s bit sparse right now as we are working out what kind of terminal commands he can share via Twitter without them taking down his account for suspicious behavior (they shut down his account and deleted his tweets once already). I think his contributions will round out this blog nicely!

So your hard drive is getting kind of full. Or more space is being
used and you want to know where it all is. The disk usage command, du,
