Useful Tech Toolbar

July 19th, 2010 Tech News No comments

Made a toolbar. It has a couple boredom games. Of course :-) .

Also has a few essential links to free virus scanners. Just look at the “Clean Machine” Section. These are very important when it comes to cleaning up a hijacked computer.

Added a few radio stations. It’s the stuff i listen to when deep into my work.

Also added a few podcasts about tech related content.

There is an SEO tools section. This section is still new so please  send me link you want added.

The Official TruXtertech Toolbar

If you have any links you want added to the toolbar please respond below and they will be considered.

Apple Ipad Sketch

April 6th, 2010 Game News No comments

Well I saw the video of the Apple Ipad Sketching.

I was quite impressed. In fact I was amazed. I was actually thinking about my old psp and how that Ipad totally destroys everything my psp could do. Then I realized I was aiming to low.

Focal Point Device

(pdf about Focal Point)

I realized that Microsoft’s 8 year old operating system is used on a thing called focal point. It is a full blown Windows XP. We have installed Autodesk Autocad, Photoshop, Gimp and even grand theft auto iii on that device. It runs on Tmobile network .

I know it is worthless argument of it’s portability and durability, against apple’s really nice looks. It would seem they are of two separate classifications. Can’t wait for the Android version of the mix of the two :-)

We can be certain the Linux group will put this thing down by the end of the month and have  (most likely) Kubuntu or something on it. Innovation comes when  the Windows freaks to reverse engineer Windows 7 Mobile (if it actually comes out) and seeing them slap that onto one of these Ipads and make something actually useful of it. Strange enough, there are groups who like to put windows on everything, but Microsoft sues them or sends a cease notice as soon as they do it. That is why linux is the better choice .. The pure simple freedom to learn and be creative. Microsoft needs that. Apple needs that. Micorosft most of all. it says ” our software is so strong and versatile it can be installed on anything that can hold an o/s, and it might actually even work.”  for now it’s the linux group doing all the work.

Crazy deal is, no one has wanted the touch tablets. but apple puts out a tablet and the sells are crazy. could be an early adapter thing, could be just for claiming greatness before anyone then in five months when everyone else has one saying ” yeah I bought one, they suck” could just be a hipster thing. I am hoping it is for the techies. the real techies who will break that thing down, format it and see what they can load on it.

Let’s hope the best.. I just hope computers don’t all go touch screen. I want my keyboard … spread sheet would suck after about 300 words, your fingers would hurt.

If anyone has anything cool to show about their Ipad, please post.. I want to see it. The world wants to see it.

a peach of a deal. Found it at zipzoomfly, not going to link it because heh. I’m not getting any kick back.. nah because I don’t feel like searching for it till I’m ready, but I did saw it earlier today. So I know it’s there

Good Luck

Budget Tech Reviews

October 21st, 2009 Game News No comments

Finally enough time to actually do reviews. There is now a tech review section of the site created specifically for budget tech. From imitation components, to budget makes and models.

See it’s as if 99% of review sites out there do the high dollar high interest  stuff. For some of us that means “dream stuff”. well this site has a whole section for the budget shopper.

you will most likely not see reviews of the 9800 video card, but you will see a review of the 9500,9400 and so on. If the best video card costs $400, you will see reviews of the $59 video card, tricks that the High end video cards barely use and how to make your budget card just as good as the $400 video card.

Inexpensive cell phones, old used cell phones found on Ebay and craigs list and so on. I call them “GEMS”. The ones that everyone owned a year ago and hacked and modified so much you could almost not tell it was the same one, The site will show you how.

Do not worry, the news section (this section) will still have tech news. All news here, all budget review and budget tricks will be found on

Budget Tech Reviews and tips

You are all welcome to visit.

Windows 7, Tiny7

October 19th, 2009 Game News No comments

I have always liked the work of a person named eXPer1ence, with his tiny stripped versions of windows products. This guy makes Microsoft feel like Linux. Open source and all you know?.

I did a search just to see if he had done anything with Windows 7. Well he did. Google pushed out some very promising results. On the popular Torrent search site it showed eXPer1ence, modded programs and his name for user account that created and uploaded the torrent files to the search engine. So I knew it was genuine and not from some virus freak that renamed a bad file.

I decided i would test it in benchmarks against the current Windows 7 that i have installed, straight from Microsoft’s website. Legit cd key and all .. of course. I just wanted to see if a stray dude could create mod a well appreciated operating system into a fine video game running o/s. I broke out the extra Sata Hard drive and connected everything. and yes it was the exact same make as the current drive I was using.

I did the full entire install. I installed my need for speed carbon and most wanted, shift and undercover, grand theft auto iii Vice city, San Andreas and gtaiv. All installed fine and smooth. I tried to install DirectX 10. It said I already had an equivalent version installed. Ok that was cool. I started my benchmarking. I played all my need for speeds on both versions of windows seven, 64bit full install and 32 bit tiny7. Tiny played a tad bit smoother but I got artifacts on occasions, I moved on to my Grand Theft Auto games. III was so smooth and impressive I was sold to tiny7 in a flash, same for Vice City and San Andreas. I started to try GTAIV. No go. GTAIV would not play. The command prompt would open and then quickly disappear. So I started searching online. I see that the latest version of tiny7 says it will play Grand Theft Auto IV Listed here. I confirm that I have the version stated. The game would not play. So i double check my  directx version. It seems that some items of direct X would not install. I fully uninstalled Direct x 10 to see if I could solve the issue with a reinstall. Now direct X 10 would not install, at all.

I also got an issue with items on the desktop. If I tried to paste from or to the desktop, I would get an error saying that the desktop was not found. um… ermmm???  No version of Autodesk Or autocad would install. So it was useless for working on drafting. Would not sign into network and save settings. Some of my media editing tools would not work either. Like magix music maker and video editor. If magix does not work, then it’s useless to me.

For gaming, I have to say that Tiny7 is not a complete failure, but it did fail my trial. I have since uninstalled tiny7. I am really liking  windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Maybe next time eXPer1ence until then , I think i will go up the street and purchase 7, the proper way… It is worth it.

Selling 5 Domains

October 8th, 2009 Tech News No comments

I have a year to renew my domains, but ready to let the mess of them all go. It’s far to much work for just me.

I worked really hard on getting all  feeds  ranked in Technoratti. Infact this particular rss feed is  worth “$1,693.62.”

Considering I have barely writen anything here in the past few months, that is pretty good. For the most part people come here for the Linux info I give in one of my directories, and the occasional coverage ion Grand Theft Auto. (I actually show how to play grand theft auto on Linux. You should Google it and see what you find. I did my work and it’s real info. So people link to me on their sites. I try to not be a spammer. So Google does all the work I need for getting the content noticed.

I wanted to make an ” I work with” network. Meaning I wanted to cover many job fields in content topics, and give people of that field a place to relate with. I wanted them all to be able to talk to each other and trade tips or just rant or sell or trade stuff related. I had no plan to charge anyone for going there and using any of the services. So I never did.

The “I work with” network consisted of

iworkwithpeople.com an employment site that I wanted to help people in retail. Could be used for many things, from therapy to psychiatry to loan agent.  It is currently an employment site.

iworkwithtech Wanted to make a site to sample products with and tell everyone about the products. after the products have run their course in my  reviews, I was going to overclock them. Never had the time, so I slapped something together to fill the spot and maybe  bring me work.

iworkwithmusic.com The goal was to let people submit their music content there and let the world hear it and or buy it. Totally free to the users of the site, except of course the media content they buy from the bands or dj.

Next on the list of sites for sell is not in eth same plan as the iworkwith network.

but still a fun site for me to run, during the times I had a mess-load of users. After the site rebuild I lost a lot of regular users. Down to like 18 people max. That site is  gtaclans.com a community for grand theft auto player. That one was fun, real fun.

Next is TruXtertech.com. The news section was three years of steady fun. at times I had stuff just flowing, at other times, I had a life to chase.

The asking prices are as follows.

iworkwithpeople.com $15000 Check the value for yourself Here

iworkwithtech.com $2000       Check the value for yourself Here

iworkwithmusic.com $500      Check the value for yourself Here

gtaclans.com $2000                     Check the value for yourself Here

truxtertech.com make Offer      Check the value for yourself Here Don’t worry, I will accept a reasonable offer.

I used stimator.com Because they do not base their searches on pure alexa results. If you Google Alexa you will understand. I know for years, malware scanners removed Alexa software off of people’s computers. So it really can’t be reliable if it’s only means is watching activity, and everyone is removing them.

Paypal welcome,  and of course I will hand over the release code once the money is transferred. Sorry I will not give out bank routing number, but you can use my paypal account to use your credit card. If you do not have a paypal account, I suggest you set one up.

The prices are negotiable. But don’t be rude. I have a short temper for low ballers and hustlers. If needed I will gladly sign up to the sites and write for you in my free time. That is of course if you use the same plan I was working on. I will help you with search engines targeting.

I phone hacked… Again

July 31st, 2009 Tech News No comments

Get  Square font sent to your Iphone as an SMS, you are compromised. Time to shut down.

Well This goes to show you, that it is not a perfect company. The one device they make that

actually hits the masses, Gets hacked fast and easy one simple text message font From what I gather, the font will look like the blank font looks on a machine that does not support  it, it will just be a square. One single square that locks up your cell phone. Mashable says that when your phone locks up, they are hacking you. Really I doubt that, locked up is locked up, unless you are locked out and the lock up is just a spoof.

Make you think twice about yoru twitter ap…..
