... before called Tiermaker to do this. The site lets you drag and drop genealogy website logos into tiers that can mean whatever you want. The site includes the category “genealogy sites” which has 52 pre-defined logos of some of most popular websites for genealogy. Jarrett in his 3 hour video goes through the sites one by one and ...

... It was obvious that action failed as then the phone would no longer get past the logo screen.  At home, Saturday at 11 pm, I ordered a new phone for $340 from Amazon. It arrived at my house on Monday afternoon and I’m back in action. The only thing on my old phone were about a month of pictures including the first 3 days of our vacation. If it’s not too ...

... me.  (Click on the image to enlarge it). I’m shown in the middle (my Behold logo sun), with my parents, grandparent, great-grandparents above.

The FamilyTreeDNA Holiday Season sale with coupons for extra dollars off was quite motivating. I ordered my own test ...

I know my last two posts were not written in English for the normal person. But I felt I had to document a bit of the work involved in just upgrading a development environment.

... two versions of EurekaLog. I had to go into RegEdit and change Eureka log to EurekaLogOld, then install the new version, and then go back into RegEdit and rename EurekaLogOld back to EurekaLog. Thats not a very nice way to have to do it. But then, it still didn’t work. When installing the new version, it gave two system errors. It ...

... icons I show at the bottom of my Buy Now page, I have now added the PCI DSS compliant logo shown earlier in this post, and it links to BlueSnap’s page about security on their website.
