iTunes Multiple Libraries 1.0

Posted by technologysolutions4 on February 7, 2009

This is a program I wrote to solve a common problem: multiple iTunes users on a single computer. It is a compilation of iTunes & Libra.
All it really does is opens Libra, allowing the user to select an iTunes library, then opens iTunes.
Full credit is given to the authors of the software contained in this program. All I did was simplify the process of using the two.

If you download this software, please leave a comment about it it feedback or suggestions below.

Circuit City Closing

Posted by technologysolutions4 on January 19, 2009

Circuit City announced January 16th, 2009 that they will be closing all stores nationwide to avoid bankruptcy. Inventory at all of the stores will be marked down to liquidation prices starting Saturday, January 17th, 2009 and each store will close as soon as all inventory is sold. Stores in Canada will not be affected by the liquidation and will continue business as normal.

“The process was extremely difficult and we were left with no other choice but to liquidate.  Circuit City had a proud heritage of serving the public for 60 years and we deeply regret the impact this decision will have on our associates, our customers and the communities where we have operated stores and other facilities.
We had hoped to be able to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as a stronger, more competitive company and we made significant progress during the reorganization to improve our business.  Unfortunately, the economic climate is so poor that we have no choice other than liquidation.”

ISR News: Terrorists Aim for Online 9/11

Posted by technologysolutions4 on January 16, 2009

NEW YORK – Cyber attacks pose the greatest threat to the United States after nuclear war and weapons of mass destruction — and they are increasingly hard to prevent, FBI experts said Tuesday.

Shawn Henry, assistant director of the FBI’s cyber division, told a conference in New York that computer attacks pose the biggest risk “from a national security perspective, other than a weapon of mass destruction or a bomb in one of our major cities.”

“Other than a nuclear device or some other type of destructive weapon, the threat to our infrastructure, the threat to our intelligence, the threat to our computer network is the most critical threat we face,” he added.

US experts warn of “cybergeddon,” in which an advanced economy — where almost everything of importance is linked to or controlled by computers — falls prey to hackers, with catastrophic results.

Michael Balboni, deputy secretary for public safety in New York state, described “a huge threat out there” against everything from banking institutions to municipal water systems and dams.

Henry said terrorist groups aim for an online 9/11, “inflicting the same kind of damage on our country, on all our countries, on all our networks, as they did in 2001 by flying planes into buildings.”

Creating a temporary wireless network

Posted by technologysolutions4 on January 9, 2009

So, have you ever been in a place (particularly a hotel) that has high-speed ethernet (where you plug your computer in) but no  wireless internet? I have a simple solution to this problem: make your own wireless network. This network will have less than 100′ range due ot the limitations of the computer’s wireless card, but this is perfect for hotel rooms.
**This involves changing your computer’s wired & wireless network settings. Windows Vista

Step 1: Plug your computer in to the wired high speed port (make sure charges do not apply for using this service) and connect to the internet using the specified directions (usually involves logging in). If asked, make sure you select that this is a private network – this is very important! Also, make sure your wireless card is turned on!

Step 2: Click Start>Network (Right Side) – Then click Network and Sharing Center on the top

Step 3: Click Set up a connection or network on the left

Step 4: Click Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network and click Next twice. Type a network name (remember this), Select WEP for security type and type a Security Key (remember this) then click save this network and close after it is finished.

Step 5: In Network and Sharing Center, click Manage network connections. Right-click on Local Area Connectionand click properties. Go to the sharing tab and click “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection.” Then click settings. Check FTP, (SMTP), (HTTPS), Telnet Server, (HTTP). If any windows come up, click ok. This information is irrelevant for our purposes.When finished click OK to close both windows.

Step 6: In Network Connections, Right-click Wireless Network (or wireless card, wireless connection, etc) click status then details. the IPv4 address should be 192.168.0.1 — If this is correct, your have successfully connected. You may need to log in to the internet again from your computer to finish this connection; and it may take several minutes for the computer to fully connect everything.

Congratulations! You have created your own wireless network!

Undoing the connection:

1. Network Connections: Right click Local Area Connection – Sharing – UNcheck  Allow other network users to…
2. Network & Sharing Center: On the left, click Connect to a Network and chose a wireless network.

You now have your computer back to normal.

You may have to turn off your Firewalls/Security Software for this to work.
