Troubleshooting My Phone
My damn phone’s camera still doesn’t work. I’m really annoyed. I spent close to six hours tonight trying to fix it, and I ended up doing everything from upgrading to bricking to wiping to reloading and a whole lot in between. And the camera STILL doesn’t work. The only thing that’s different is I’m now … Continue reading
Upgraded to Blackberry OS 4.5.0.42
Here is the result of my Blackberry OS upgrade, which went beautifully. That’s right, the new OS gives my Curve video capability. And the HTML emails aren’t too shabby either. I’m happy!
VHS to DVD Conversion
As I’ve talked about before, I have a lot of VHS tapes I want to transfer to DVD. Today we went to a bunch of yard sales, and one of my finds was a dual-deck VHS/DVD unit. It had a button that said “copy” and a post-it saying they hadn’t tested the record function because … Continue reading
TNG Title Geekdom
So I was about to watch something on the history of hardware stores, when I noticed TNG had just started on Sci-Fi! So I switched over, and within 15 seconds, I knew the title of the episode. Literally, only three lines were said before I knew it. And this wasn’t Unification or Relics or Encounter … Continue reading

Ubuntu in Windows
But of course…VMWare Player. Why didn’t I think of this before?

The reason I can’t remember is I’m not on my normal computer operating system. raisinbottom emailed me today with questions about Ubuntu, and he mentioned Wubi, so I got all hyped up and spent the evening fighting with it. Again. … Continue reading
Memory Cards and Stuff
As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I used to have a 1GB SD card, a 256MB SD card, and a 1GB mini SD card with an adapter. The first two were broken (I think by the CatCam, though don’t ask me how) and they won’t take pictures or format or anything. … Continue reading
More Geeky Blog Stuff
Nothing is quite as much fun as seeing this on my screen: Done copying data from Berkeley DB to your SQL database! All went well. Okay, there are things that are slightly more fun, but it’s always pleasing when a conversion goes well. This is over at Cyber Dyke Blog by the way, where I … Continue reading
Breaking and Fixing
I broke my website today – I broke it bad. But because I am Just That Slick, I was able to repair everything without anybody noticing. Well, I did get one e-mail from a friend letting me know something was wrong, but I e-mailed her back and said something to the effect of “you caught … Continue reading
