It wasn’t that long ago that real “tech words” never entered Average Joe’s vernacular. These days, the dumb media, and in turn, Average Joe himself, misuses geek terminology like they’re reinventing a word from scratch. Case in point: the recent Apple-upgrades-iPhone-firmware fiasco, in which thousands of stupid iPhone users hacked their phones and didn’t think [...]

Fresh on the heals of 2.04 comes a minor update, with an improved version of Venantes for Hunters, and FishingAce replacing the currently-broken broken FishingBuddy. Also not previously mentioned is the replacement of Auctioneer with Auctioneer Advanced, which will, presumably, ultimately replace Auctioneer altogether (they’re by the same author).
Sadly, Advanced Tradeskill Window is currently broken, [...]

This update of mendax.wow adds the ability to bulk mail other characters and customize the minimap. Also, KLHThreatMeter was replaced with Omen, and a Hunter management system, Venantes, was added. Since Venates has a tracking selector built in, Fizzwidget TrackMenu was removed. I have also re-explored PitBull, and given its new customization window, have replaced [...]

When it comes to Hunters in World of Warcraft (WoW), a character’s tamed pet makes up at least 30% of one’s damage, which places great import on the type of beast selected by the Hunter to stand by his side. Big Red Kitty (BRK) obviously runs with a cat, and considers his selection based on [...]

When I recently argued that the iPhone is a better buy than the iPod Touch, even if one never uses the iPhone’s phone functionality, I should have explained myself in detail in a front-page post instead of going back and forth with Maxator on his blog. At least now, I feel somewhat justified, because if [...]

It sounds like there are a couple unlocking apps for the iPhone that no longer disable the YouTube application. For those of us who unlocked our phones early, however, we’ve had to deal with the disabled app, or restore our iPhones and unlock them again, which is nothing short of annoying. Fortunately, I finally found [...]

I don’t know why the Twitter status on the right-hand side of this page is not updating, but no new version of Twitt-Twoo has been released, so I’m guessing it’s something on our end. I’ll look into this eventually, but messing around with my new iPhone is the current priority.

Those following my Twitter status know that I finally broke down and purchased an iPhone, with the obvious intent to unlock it for use on T-Mobile. After arguing with Maxator about the iPhone’s merits versus the upcoming iPod Touch, I sat down with what turned out to be a three-hour hack session that is now [...]

I’m not sure if discussing sports on the Mendax site is against some unspoken rule, but I’m going to stick my neck out there and see what happens. I haven’t really cared about sports in a long time. In fact, the last time I really cared about what happened in sports was when [...]

Synergy is an open-source, cross-platform application which allows one to control multiple computers with a single mouse and keyboard. It is among a handful of applications commonly used by multiboxers for online computer games, as mentioned in my own foray into multiboxing. One key feature that the basic Synergy distribution does not include, however, is [...]

Players of massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGS) tend to select the types of characters they play based on a variety of factors. For those new to the genre, it often requires a degree of experimentation before one settles on one character type (class). In World of Warcraft (WoW), the number of people new to [...]
