EA Sports just released a nice little series of tutorial videos showing you how to use the formation subs in NCAA Football 11, among other things. In addition to the step by step guide, they give some nice scenarios when it would be best to consider using the formation subs. Video and links after the jump. (more…)

Entry Level Xcode: Hello World for iPad
This tutorial starts at square one and walks you through writing your very own Hello World app, the one prerequisite is that you have at least Xcode 3.2 installed on your Mac. You can grab the latest version of Xcode from Apple’s Developer website.
Xcode can be fairly daunting to the average user, even though it’s one of the friendlier programming environments out there. My goal is through this sporadic series of Xcode tutorials to try and reduce that intimidation factor.

The MMA Minute – A Brief History of the UFC, Part 1
We still have over a week until the MMA schedule picks up again. So in order to keep our regular schedule of a weekly Friday post, we’ll delve deeper into MMA and how it’s reached such high levels of popularity.In case you’re just joining us now, over the last two weeks I’ve gone over a bit of the history of MMA, with alot of help from Wikipedia. Part 1 and part 2 have covered most of what you’d need to know and I’d encourage you to at least give them a once over if you are still in the learning stages of MMA fandom.
Wikipedia has some great info, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, I’ll just bring the best it has to offer to you, which is quite a bit. Let’s face it, the UFC is main reason why we have MMA today, so there’s alot to cover here. This week we’ll cover the UFC from it’s first event to the Zuffa purchase: (more…)

Top Picks: IM Software
These days I don’t do as much non-work related instant messaging as I did in the past but I thought it would be nice to post up my favorite to IM software packages.
Windows: Pidgin
Pidgin is a multiple protocol, Windows based instant messaging programing and it does a really good job with a fairly simple interface. Pidgin supports many different IM accounts including AIM, MSN (or Live), GTalk, Sametime, and Yahoo to name a few.
The software is easy to install and set up, doesn’t use a lot of system resources and has a nice set up for multiple sessions. You can also combine various accounts from the same contact person under one heading, this helps keep your buddy list clean.
OS X: Adium
Adium is a great IM program for OS X because like Pidgin, it also supports multiple IM accounts, is easy to set up and runs quite well. Adium also has a lot of customizable options including the dock icon, sounds and how your message window looks. There is a large amount of user created customizations to choose from.

More ways to enjoy Hijinks Inc.
Word on the street is that there’s this new domain extension out there, .co, and that it’s the next big thing.
In the interest of being on the cutting edge of everything tech we’ve registered hijinks.co before our frenemies at Hijinks Internet Services could. Does that make us petty? You bet. But that’s just the way we roll.
And thanks to .co’s being $29 a year, pricing for regular .com domains has dropped a bit, so we also registered HijinksIncorporated.com. We’re just cool like that.
p.s. If anyone at Hijinks Internet Services wants to sell us Hijinks.com, we’re interested.
