If you follow my LinkedIn profile than you may know that I am working at WideOrbit out of Bay Area these days.
Being with company for more than a year as Head of Development for Emerging Media Group, few products I have been involvement from outside our group. One of them is close to my background in Financial field – WO Central – Ad market exchange.
Let’s do a little promotion – I really like the work group has done
A good example of what happens when new products are not aligned with key core products.
Google has announced that it is dropping seven more products in an effort to simplify its range of services. (BBC)
The seven latest products earmarked for the chop are as follows:
As user of WordPress platform “closest friend” from the list is gGears, fortunatelly WP discontinued its support for it some time ago.
After recent update to Garmin Lifetime Updater for Garmin nuvi 765T with map life update subscription I have got “An unexpected error has occurred and the program must close. If you continue to experience this, please contact Garmin customer support.” error which would not go away.

It comes time when we need to replace network router in the house… And it was time for me to do just that…
I went with Linksys E4200 – nice piece of machinery. Everything now is flying! I am using Linksys products for many years and this upgrade did not disappoint me, setup was a easy, my network is now on true gigabit speed and wireless with dual band and much stronger signal.
Well, not everything is happy about the change at first…
My good old Wii refused to stay connected via WiFi loosing signal at random. I think it may be something to do with dual band wireless. I could have made two network on different bands, but I went with simple hardware solution – wired USB adapter – and this problem was solved.
Second problem was Sony BDP-S350 player not seeing network.
On the surface everything is OK and there is proper address and all, but no BD content or updates could be loaded.
Solution is simple though – static IP address – as described here.
Please note that for me just assigning static IP address at BDP level helped resolve the issue.
After this last issue, everything back to normal and adoption of the new router is complete!
