While I am waiting for my cellphone signal booster to arrive, (which also works on broadband cards) I figured out a really simple method that actually gets you better broadband signal in your car.
So here’s how to get better broadband signal when you are working inside your car like me:
Simply, pull all your windows down.
If you have a sunroof, open it up as much as you can.
I just went from 2-3 bars to like 4-5 bars with that.

Well, I digged a bit further with my Palm Pre GoogleMaps GPS tracking app and made a new app that will track your Palm Pre’s GPS location via Twitter.
This is a better way to keeping a record of where you have been traveling in the past with your Palm Pre.
Here’s a screenshot of my latest update

Over this weekend, I’ve cooked up some really great Palm Pre hacks, one of which shows you how to setup a website on your Palm Pre and track your phone via GoogleMaps GPS. This means that if you lose your phone or someone steals it, you will know exactly where it is.
You know, I haven’t had this much “hacking” fun since I first started this site. I just figured out how to install a WordPress blog on my Palm Pre! It runs really well btw but I can’t tell you the domain name since Sprint might cancel my contract if too many people start accessing it.
Anyways, I’ve written a detailed DIY guide over at Palm Pre Hacks Blog, make sure to check it out if you plan on taking your website with you at all times.
P.S. I am sure there will be one day technology gets so good that my blog will run on a cellphone.

I have been working on a new CSS Dropdown menu using some free code over from Alist Apart. You should see the updated dropdown menus right here on Zedomax.com real soon when I am done tinkering with it.
Well, I ran into a problem while developing these CSS dropdown menus, the menus would display “under” the Google Adsense ads, which are basically iframes.
I kept googling for some solutions but there was really no clear answer out there but I found that you can easily do this by usin
Well, I am in the process of creating a local tunnel connection between two of my web servers from MediaTemple (thanks Eric for the help btw), I stumbled across this cool Linux DIY that shows you how to create an SSH Tunnel between two linux computers and share the internet via proxy port number 2020.
This might be very useful if you happen to run a bunch of linux machines and run out of ethernet lines. (and you are not using WiFi)
To create a tunnel you need to check that ssh service is running on the computer that you want to connect. For Ubuntu or Debian based distribution
Here’s a really cool DIY that shows you how to make etched mirrors. It would make a great gift for your family and friends. I might even make one myself real soon here with Zedomax.com logo etched so I can take a look at it everyday. 🙂
Doing glass or mirror etching is actually very simple. Once you find someone who can output your art into vinyl, it’s a very short process and the results are pretty amazing. I was even impressed upon seeing the final result!

Few things on this earth become as cluttered, dirty and full of mysteries as the desks where we work all day. From shriveled lettuce fragments from a 2005 sandwich still stuck between the keys, to a curious 5” floppy disk full of unknown data that has been rolled over by the chair wheels a dozen times, there are all sorts of things buried within and around our workspaces. This is particularly

Well, I’ve gone a little Palm Pre crazy over the weekend, using it as my new WiFi Hotspot. It turns out the My Tether app I used yesterday also has USB tethering capabilities.
To my surprise, the USB tethering worked beautifully, you can read up o

Palm Pre has been literally “awesome” in the last couple days that I’ve had it.
I love this new touchscreen phone so much that I even registered a domain name for it called PalmPre-Hacks.com on the night I bought the Palm Pre.
Well, it turns out that my $199 investment on the Palm Pre has paid off already as I have figured out how to make it into a wireless router already.
