A list of Andriod Apps that I would recommend, or at least suggest you give a look. I will preface this with the notion that this list is tailored to my needs and uses with my Android smartphone.
Along with this list on my blog, I have also started a Recommended Android Apps board on Pinterest to share, and let others share, their recommendations. Give me a shout if you want to be a contributor to the Pinterest board. (more…)
Ever just wonder about or need your public IP address, but your were not sure how and where to find it?
Enter Google Search
To find your public IP address follow these simple steps:
That’s It!
Your public IP address will be display in bold type above the search results (beginning with the phrase “Your public IP address is“). This is just one of the many hidden uses of the Google Search box.
I must concede that there are a number of ways, outside of Google Search, to find your public IP address. I just thought the familiarity with Google might make this the easier for someone.
I was recently updating a website hosted on the Cloud Sites infrastructure at Rackspace and ran across an inconsistency with the documentation I was finding online and what I was seeing in the control panel.
Using the File Manager
I needed to update a single file on a website and was already logged into the control panel. I thought that I would just use the “File Manager” tool from the control panel (which I had read about) and this would save me the time of not opening up an FTP connection. I searched the control panel navigation to no avail. So I reached out to Rackspace online chat (BTW, I have been nothing but pleased with Rackspace’s support channels) to find an answer.
Where can I find the File Manager in the Cloud Sites control panel?
The answer is you can’t find the File Manager. Shane in tech support instructed me that Rackspace has “disabled the File Manager on the Cloud Sites product and does not have a time frame to add that feature back”.
So for those on the Cloud Sites infrastructure… FTP is your only method of file management.
