Android Screenshots Without Root

One of the things that really bothered me about going from my iPhone to my Android Phone was the inability to take a screenshot. In iOS (iPhone) the ability is innate and an app is not necessary.

Restore Deleted Database on Godaddy

I was doing a little maintenance on my Godaddy account and committed a MAJOR screwup. I had moved a WordPress page from a subfolder onto the main drive of a domain. Godaddy was still showing it in my development location. I thought it was a different one, and after checking that there were indeed no files in that drive that would be accidentally deleted, I removed that WordPress installation along with its associated database.

Fix the Google Sync Error

I’m running into a problem with my Samsung Infuse 4G. This seems to be a problem across many, many Android devices, including phones and tablets. I keep getting the error: “Sorry!

Then it came more and more often. Finally, it was so bad that I...
