If you know me, then you probably know that I'm not good at writing about myself. The following is from my Gravatar profile. Blake Barker created Technasium (gymforgeeks.com) in late 2011, talking about the latest news in technology. He aspires to work in the field of IT Tech, or as a programmer. "I LOVE sushi and am a major geek. I love the idea of developing my own software and being a producer, not only a user. Seeing that expression on someone's face when their problem has been resolved -- that's a priceless moment I always look forward to."

1 AnswerPsychology6 years agoILuv HeadPhones Not Being Detected by my Android?
I just purchased the iLuv iHP613WHT Sweet Cotton High Fidelity Stereo Headphones with Speak EZ Remote for Apple iPad, iPod and iPhone - White. I didn't realize I bought the iPhone version (yes, I'm quite retarded sometimes. Lol). It works fine on my mom's Android and it works fine on my Linux machine. But it won't connect on my Blu Studio 6.0 HD. Any ideas?
2 AnswersMusic & Music Players7 years agoLocking File Access On a Windows Server After “X” Amount of Days?
I'm using a server and other people are on my server. What I want to do is put, let's say "Folder A" into that server for people to be able to access it. But ONLY for 15 days. I want to retract access permissions automatically. How can I do so?
Example: Let's say my server name is GymForGeeks Server. I drop Folder A in it so now about fifty people have access to it. After 15 days, though, I want them NOT to be able to have access to it any longer. How can I do this?
1 AnswerSoftware7 years agoCorrect grammar sentence?
I'm trying to paraphrase someone and what they said, but I can't figure out if this makes sense to a reader: "This company will be a gateway to helping many people answer questions in all sorts of different areas"
Does that make sense? So in a sense he's saying the company isn't only helping with technology or one area, the company is helping with mental health, bullying, you name it. We answer all questions for any area.
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay7 years agoGeeky Names For Blogs?
I need a geeky blog name. Here are some examples of geeky blogs I ALREADY read:
Coding Horror
GeekWeek
I want unique names like that, maybe something geeky but symbolic for something or at least a phrase that means something.
2 AnswersBooks & Authors7 years agoBlog name ideas that are meshed or symbolic?
I need a blog name that's symbolic, one word that describes it all.
Keywords: Programming, Developing, Geek, Romance, Life, Journey.
So I don't have any specific examples of names, just something that is symbolic or meshed together. It can be more than one word, for example, my favorite blog from a person was "The [Nonexistent] Life of a Law Student" That was kind of symbolic, I mean you know it's about her life and that she's studying law but at the same something's missing from her life. Something similar for the keywords I put.
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay7 years agoIs it weird that my eyes hurt more on my laptop than they do on my smart phone?
-1 down vote favorite
I can be on my Nexus 5 typing and doing different things and I'm fine. But when I get on my laptop, it just bothers my eyes after a while. (I have a Dell Inspiron 15.) The Nexus 5 is known for its vivid screen and powerful processor.
Why would my eyes NOT hurt on my smart phone? After all, it is smaller. Is it that the viewing technology (screen) is just so much more up-to-date on smart phones?
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks7 years agoAs a programmer and IT student, what device is best for me?
I'm going into the Information Technology major in college. I originally had a Dell Inspiron 15 but let's just say my Nexus 5 is more powerful and has high IPS resolution unlike my crappy laptop which Noe has rainbow colors on screen edges.
As a programmer and IT student, would a tablet or smartphone be of use? I asked some professors and they said as long as it is Android I'm more than fine but they weren't at my school so I wouldn't go by that. Going by other people here and their advice would be helpful.

Has anyone ever written code for a project (developing) on their smart phone instead of a laptop? How was the experience and what do you think of mobile computing?
1 AnswerOther - Education7 years agoIn the tech industry, which do YOU consider popular, compared to what IS popular?
I'm a very tech-savvy person. I have used over 200 Linux-based distributions, and I'm a 20 year old in college with my own startup. Throughout my life, though, I have used not only Linux, but Windows XP, 7, and obviously 8.
Keeping in mind that I'm a hardcore Linux fan, but also keeping in mind the direction which Microsoft is going, as a person who wants to be in the field, which OS should I choose? Should I go with "the flow" and what's popular, like Windows 8? Or should I stick to Linux, which I think is hardcore and favor? I know people will say it doesn't matter, but ultimately, it really does. If you're a techy person, you want to make sure you're not just being the side of the producer, but also the consumer.
So, having said that, what OS should I use? Windows 8 or Linux? What do you favor, why?

1 AnswerOther - Electronics7 years agoJust pinched my vain -- what to do?
I have a closet door that folds open, if that makes sense? It doesn't open like a normal door, it kinda folds like a triangle. Maybe a common old fashioned closet door, whatever, I just closed it hard on my vein near my pinky. Hard, like my skin turned red, maybe from blood or whatever.
What do I do? My pinky feels weird, will it heel itself like skin? I know nothing about veins.

How do I simplify the following problem? I took an image of the problem and it can be found here. http://s3.postimg.org/capj13y5r/Radicals.png
Moreover, what are these types of problems called? They aren't just regular radicals, they seem long and include more than just one method. Thanks. As far as answering, I'd appreciate the actual answer but more importantly how I can get this answer. On the study sheet it says the answer is: http://s23.postimg.org/90lc1pih3/Radical_Answer.pn...
So my real question is basically HOW and why.
1 AnswerMathematics7 years agoT-Mobile Caller ID Sometimes Shows?
I was on AT&T a couple of months ago. Any time I'd make a call from my AT&T phone, it'd say my name everywhere [when I called home phones]. Now, on T-Mobile, my name is only displayed on certain caller ID's. Usually it'll just say T-Mobile. Why? T-Mobile says they did set my name, and they obviously did, since it does come up on some caller IDs. Why is it on T-Mobile only sometimes displays my name and sometimes it says "T-Mobile"? This never happened with AT&T.

3 AnswersYouTube7 years agoPoetic Titles About Darkness?
I'm looking for poetic titles about darkness. Poetic phrases, if you will. "The Poetic Injustice of Darkness." "Pens Without Pen caps" these are poetic titles because they make you think. It sounds more than just a regular title.
Any ideas for poetic titles or phrases about darkness, maybe cyber stalking?
