One Bad Byte

One feature that I have always wanted when working with clients is the ability to simply save clip art they sent me as an image, since they always seem to attach important pictures to a word document, which looks nice, but make it harder for me to get them in file form. A few days ago I found the solution, in PowerPoint 2007 there is now a "save as..." command when right clicking a picture, which removes the need to export a document to a web page in order to save it to a file.

Today I started to play around with my iTunes, because I have a Windows Vista x64 & Windows XP on the same machine. For the longest time I had been having issues with keeping the two iTunes library's synced, and the only reason for this is because my iPhone is synced to my Windows XP machine. So today I found a solution.

1. Changing Drive Letters
The first step I took was to ensure that the drive with my music would reside had the same drive letter.

2. Move Windows XP Documents
Windows XP won't let me move My Music by itself, so I moved the entire My Documents for Windows XP to my designated Media hard drive.

3. Open iTunes and make sure the path to iTunes music library is set correctly & consolidate your music library.

4. Restart your machine and enter the other OS, for me it was windows vista.

5. Move your Windows Vista Music folder to your media's drive My Music folder.

6. Open up iTunes and see if the music from the other computer is now shared between the two computers, since they share the same My Music folder.

I'm opening up Flash Exploit to third party developers, but currently I'm only going to open up the Block Editor portion of the project. To make it a bit easier for developers I made the interface to access flash exploit simple, only giving them a single point of entry and they are limited to working on one flash file at a time.

Today I learned a valuable lesson when I was working on http://www.LiteeCases.com . When using PayPal Express Payments the Payment Type Should be set to "Sale", not "Order". Payment Types set to "Order" require further processing, which eludes me at the moment, so use the type "Sale" and your payments will actually complete.

This is going to sound wrong and a bit off taste, but the iPhone has a hidden function, and it is removing dead skin cells. It sounds weird, but all of my fingers have patches of dead skin pealing off, and its only the fingers that are used to touch the iPhones screen.

I'm loving my iPhone with Firmware version 1.1.3. I'm mostly loving how ZiPhone is the easiest way to unlock & activate any iPhone with version 1.1.3, which saved my butt after the 1.1.3 soft upgrade failed and my baseband was upgraded so the 1.1.1 jailbreak would not function leaving me with an unactivated phone. At least with ZiPhone I was able to do a full restore to 1.1.3 with iTunes and break it in under 30 minutes at 3AM in the morning.

I gave the guy few bucks, I know he just took other peoples ideas and combined them together, but he made it simple when all other solutions required more then two button clicks.

I've been quietly(really not) waiting for my iPhone in the mail and I have a new insight into the USPS tracking system. It seems like it will only list MAJOR sorting facilities, not the local ones, so a package going through Atlanta will show up, but local locations like around your home will not, because I can't believe its been on a truck for over two days.

Cellphones up until now have pretty much been a manual device, meaning that you have to tell it to do everything, like change ring mode. I request that cellphones add in automated ring mode functions, such as at 10:AM on Monday-Friday set to "vibrate", after 5:PM set to "ring & vibrate". This idea sounds lazy, but saving you from having to answer the phone during class is priceless.

I've been doing some more research into iPhones, after seeing my sisters new phone from t-mobile, and I can't let her beat me in the war to have the nicest phone. So heres why I changed my mind and decided to buy a iPhone.

1 I found a lot more informations about how to by pass activation.
2 I learned how to downgrade iPhones > 1.1.1 to 1.1.1
3 I found out how to unlock the iPhone so it will work with T-Mobile
4 My Sister cannot have a nicer phone then ME!!!!

But I still have one issue with the iPhone, I found some documentation that mentioned having to "OPEN IT UP" and touch some wires together in order to downgrade the "BOOTLOADER", which seems very scary to me.

I still haven bought one yet, but I will once my credit card balance rolls over to the next month.

I've been watching old sci-fi movies, like Dune & BladeRunner in HD and now I'm seeing thing you were not supposed to. One little flaw that is easy to see is the Wires used to hold actors in the air, like in BladeRunner the flying car wires are clearly visible and in Dune the wires to suspend the fat man can be seen. If you watch movies in HD expect to see little details that you may have missed while watching regular dvds.
