I was listening to the thunder & rain, underwater & this fat german jumped into the pool & nearly right on me! Scared the willies out of me!

Bleh, why does it start raing as soon as I get in the pool!?!?

Life is short. Eat dessert first. I’m having torta zanahoria while waiting on my bagel. Yum!

I don’t know whether to be comforted or alarmed by the volcano air raid siren that fires ever day at noon. Yesterday it went at 7 am !

I searched Google for this when I first got my Samsung netbook but didn’t find an answer. Usually I’m happy to work in 1024×600, my netbooks native resolution, but I use Photoshop and I often get this…

Which usually entails going into settings and changing the resolution manually, and when you’re done changing them back. You can avoid all this hassle with a simple keyboard short cut.

Hold Shift and Fn and then press the Right arrow key to increase the resolution up, Left to decrease it. If you press Shift + Fn + Up it resets to the native resolution.

It works on my Samsung NC10, try it on yours and leave me a comment if it works…..

Always an uncle, never a father! :p Congrats Claire, Jono & likkle Luke Towner! I would gone with Han but it’s better than Derek!

Finally there was a release that included my third gen Touch and I have spent the last 2 days messing around with it more than ever.

Jailbreaking means that not only I could install cracked applications from the net if I so chose but opens it up to all manner of customisation and coolness. I was downloading apps like crazy from the app store and they were spread out over 8 pages. Finding something was a real pain, but now I have them all in folder on one page. I have a background that rotates through my photos and I can see a % on my battery and how much memory I’m using… you know, cool nerdy stuff

I’ve been using it to read ebooks a lot, watch movies (I did all 60 hours of ‘The Wire’ on it) as well as the occasional music session (I picked up a 60Gb iPod on ebay when I was in the UK, so the majority of my music is on that) and I’m finding some of the games just awesome too. For only 59p the 2 Geodefense games and Flight Control have given me more than 20 hours of fun I reckon, and for less than 2 quid!

I’m now waiting for 2 more things and then I will be content. An app that will play DIVX/XVID movies at full speed (I don’t care about the hit on the battery life, I will only use it occasionally) and a method of connecting my external bluetooth GPS to it. Looks like http://www.roqy-bluetooth.net/roqyGPS.html might be the answer but I want it to see my GPS device before I pay $8 for the license.

Look inside the USB iPod lead.

The outer 2 connectors are longer than the middle 2. So if you slowly push the USB lead not all the way in until those 2 hit the power rail your iPod will charge and your computer won’t even know its there.

Hmmmmm, can I finally jailbreak my iPod touch & make it twice as useful???? Let’s see…..

I ran 6179m before falling to my death on my iPod touch. http://www.canabalt.com/
