Something inside me died a bit, but maybe now I can get over ideas shorter than a paragraph.

Getting more out of what you have: K800i

The photo opposite is a photo I took with my little old Sony Ericsson K800i. It has been a good wee phone, but the shutter button has failed. This ment no more photos and no more video either.

The internet was also pretty ropey and not really useful.

However this all changed when I whacked Opera Mini 5 on it and boom! the internet just worked. I then found that the joystick button replicates the shutter button and boom! I have photography again

Here’s to making things you have work for you better!

They were taken at work with my new camera. Lovely day outside so got some nice bokeh. I was trying to judge the minimum focus distance of the 18-55mm kit lens.

MS CMS 2001 Error trying to add file

Chris — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:17:25 +0000

I don’t like to post work stuff, but really there is no support left from MS CMS 2001 and I am sure there must be at least one other person out there that needs help with it.

After some searching we found that the KB944338 patch for Windows 2000 Server caused CMS 2001 to no longer support adding of files to the shared resources or be able to edit templates.

A simple uninstall of this one patch will restore functionality.

My head Asplode!

Awesome band by the way.

Adding a 3.5mm mic to a PS3

Chris — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:55:28 +0000

I purchased the above dongle from ebay. It is a little usb dongle used to add a mic and headphone jack to just about any PC or Mac. The key thing is that it is driverless and so will be supported by the PS3. The main benefit is in playing a multiplayer game like Uncharted 2, that you have a clear headset and that it’s battery doesn’t run out. I used it with a really nice headset I got for a birthday a few years back. I don’t use the headphone jack, instead I use the headphone out on my 5.1 receiver.
