Augen Gentouch78 DOIT

jonny — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:42:46 +0000

I’d say buy one just because. I think it rules. It’s at least a good web browser that fits in your man purse. It’s plays you tube etc… And some how it knows where I am in the google map. I read some reviews where people cry about it not being everything it was advertised to be. HELLO THAT’S CALLED ADVERTISEMENT! IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT AND YOU LIVE IN THE USA TAKE IT BACK TO THE STORE FOR A FULL REFUND AND SHUT IT. PS: naked chicks

PDF what?

jonny — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:02:05 +0000

How do you split the pages in half? If you had a PDF and you wanted to split the pages each in half and have twice as many half dimensioned pages how would you do it… Sadly the answer is perhaps to print the pdf to file with crazy print options. AFAIK there is no functionality in Adobe Acrobat Pro that lets me cut off the bottom half of each page and move it to a new page just below that one for each page. WHY would I/you ever want to do this…. well the PDF reader I have was being real lame about what it wanted to do so I had to feed it a gourmet PDF. Because I wanted to read the document in landscape mode… I had to rotate the PDF in an editor… but I also only wanted each half a page to be a page. DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE!!!! formatting PDFs for a specific screen size is a pain! But who wants to scroll? So it must be done. Text layout jams and flow are still related to the size of the medium. I know there are technologies that are suppose to be agnostic of that but there will always be things like diagrams or graphs that have to contain a certain amount of detail.. or lack of detail which is sort of up to geometry a little bit. Panning / scrolling makes me want to vomit a little less that zooming way out so that the whole figure is visible but without the detail. In the mean time I’ll be wasting time trimming, rotating, and gutting PDFs like the rotten fish of a medium they are.

Google Calendar ‘Quick Add’ 0wned

jonny — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:45:16 +0000

I was trying to to a quick add of a repeating event. After a bunch of trial and error, SUCCESS!!
I think the toughest thing to figure out was that the event will not repeat if you do the quick add and do create event without first clicking edit event details.

In other words if you want the event to repeat … you must click edit event details.

Which is to say even if you enter the syntax exactly right the event will not repeat! Am I carzy?

amazonmp3 on ubuntu 10.4 64bit

jonny — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:06:42 +0000

Well… it wasn’t pretty. I had once had some things from amazon sent to my friend in England. Because I had one address in my address book it would not let me download anything.

“We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.”

Every address I have ever lived at in the last 8 years or whatever is in there and because I had some thing sent to the UK I can’t buy mp3s…? I deleted that one address and every thing worked… OH but before that… I could not get the installer to work because it only wants to work with 32 bit.

stereo mix audio recording on dell m1330 in windows 7

jonny — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:07:49 +0000

The dell I’m on is a 64 bit guy with the 92xx sound card from singmatel audio.

Dell might tell you that the hardware feature is missing.
According to … oh, wait it works. You just need an old driver. Why would an old driver work better than a new one? I don’t know ask DEVO, the band. Maybe they know something I don’t.

Go forth and find the driver R171789.exe from dell.

I have renamed the file on my system to:

“R171789_GOLD__92xx_32and64_bit_stereo_mix
_recording_driver__run_with_xp_compatability_
_after_unistalling_old_driver_BUT_BEFORE_REBOOT.exe”

You should un-install all audio drivers (make sure they are really gone). Then install this bad boy and reboot.

use the XP sp3 compatibility mode in properties when you run it!

also you need to right click in your recording devices and ‘show disabled devices’ AND WANG THERE YOU GO!

It might work in Vista and Xp as well?

windows 7 mobility center is not awsome

jonny — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:21:14 +0000

I thought the mobility center available in windows 7 was going to revolutionary my life. I really thought that by striking the keys

WinKey + X

I was going to have access to all the controls that were most important to me. Turns out I have instant access to all the controls Bill Gates thought I would ever need, with no options to add my own choices such the microphone volume/gain. I can adjust my speaker volume BUT NOT THE MIC. OH THAT’S RIGHT… I’M JUST A DUMB CONSUMER WITH NO BRAINS… WHY WOULD I NEED A MIC!!!!!!
I’m SURE it can be done SOMEHOW. But no instructions are given here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Using-Windows-Mobility-Center
“Some tiles in Mobility Center are added by your mobile PC manufacturer” BUT NONE WILL BE ADDED BY YOU!!!!

Sit back and enjoy the show friends! Sorry to harsh your vibe. :p

vsftpd thing for iPhone repost

jonny — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:36:34 +0000

Guys I may have a solution for you. I ran into this exact same problem just now.

Try SSHing into your iPhone/iPod and use the ftp client locally. In other words, SSH in as root and type “ftp localhost”. If you immediately receive an error that mentions something about /usr/share/empty, quit out of ftp (type ‘quit’) and then ‘mkdir /usr/share/empty’.

This fixed the problem for me. Apparently (after reviewing some installation guides for vsftpd), this is one of the things you should have done when you set up vsftpd (it sure would have been nice if the Cydia installer would have done this for us!!).

Hope it helps.

How to add in Hexadecimal without a Calculator or Decimal conversions with a Pencil and Paper.

jonny — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:43:20 +0000

The problem this solves is:
If you have to add some hexadecimal numbers and you don’t have a calculator and you want to avoid converting to decimal, but you aren’t that good in hex yet. Or maybe you are real brain dead but you need to do some adding. THIS IS ALL TO BE DONE ON PAPER WITH A PENCIL. I think the method of notation is clean enough that you will not easily make a mistake. Or maybe you have a teacher that is making you had in hex for a test?

Here is the PDF: How to add in Hexadecimal without a Calculator or Decimal conversions with a Pencil and Paper.
