SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

Here's a tiny bit more information on the My Location feature in Google Maps Mobile 2. http://www.google.com/gmm/mylocation.html?hl=en At the moment it can't seem to pinpoint my location (without GPS). I'm in Amsterdam.... Let's see if it finds me during the course of today! Well, I'm impressed :) The My Location feature did indeed kick in later in the day when I was on my way home. It told me (and showed me) that it had pinpointed my position to within "1700m". There was the familiar little blue dot, but this time with a faded blue circle around it. The position of the solid blue dot was in fact a fair bit closer than 1700m. It was about 900m away from my exact location. So, this is pretty impressive. Not so great for door to door navigation. I mean, if you were in a car you'd be pretty screwed, driving through parking lots and over the edge of cliffs. No, "to within 1700m accuracy" doesn't cut the mustard. But for location-based news, w...

This new Google service sounds fun and scary. God knows who'll be able to hook into your exact location!... Well, I guess all the big brothers of this world were able to do that anyway using your mobile phone signal. So now we'll just have to add a bunch of hackers to that list of people that know where you are... To be continued.. after I've had a go using the new feature on Google Maps Mobile 2!

Just need to jot down this little rigveda gem before I lose it. :)) प्रासादशिखरेऽपि सन्न काको गरुडायते ॥ Means something about a fool...

- Missing the Home and End and Ctrl and Alt keys badly - Also my Google password just got auto-completed by Opera Mobile. Though I'm not sure if that's Windows Mobile 6's fault or Opera's. - Then, I also need to be able to modify my auto-complete list... not only to remove that password!!.. but...  

I'm gonna start a little wishlist. This is stuff that I can't/ don't know how to do on my HTC Kaiser (aka TyTN II, MDA III etc etc) that I either need to, want to, or simply HAVE to know how to do. I actually started writing this post on the 16th of November, so some of my original issues have already been resolved. Where this applies I'll mention the solution.. - Use t9 (or similar) completion of words when entering text into apps. - Keep the screen flipped horizontal even when the keyboard is shut. -> Solutions: Found a place where I could remap my hardware shortcut keys and lo and behold, there was an option to set a button to flip the screen. So I applied this to one of the hardware buttons and now I can indeed flip the screen on demand. Unfortunately the button is also the walkie-talkie (or soundclip) button in MSN, so now I can't use that. Oh well! - get back the block recognition (kinda like the scribble(?) input on Palms) that I have on my ancient Asus A6...

The source of my 2nd problem was my FON connection... To be more specific, I couldn't use my internet connection (or so it seemed) with any apps other than Internet Explorer! Then I realised I was using the free signal on my FON router. It dawned on me that either the FON boys don't allow other apps to connect over the free FON connection, or it was simply down to the fact that I wasn't logged into FON, so it wasn't letting any traffic thru. ..Although I'm sure there was a moment when I was definitely logged onto FON... hmm. Anyhow. I decided to connect to my non-FON router and my other apps (Skype, Opera mini etc) are happy again :) Grrreat.

Just got a new phone. The HTC TyTn II, also known as many other things including the Kaiser, the p4550, the T-mobile MDA III... :) It's grrreat, but as with any new gadget there are bound to be some stumbling blocks along the way. My first issue was that the Opera Mini browser that I have grown to love having used it on my Nokia 6230i for ages didn't want to connect to the internet :( Eventually I found the very very simple solution on the site above (even tho the solution was in the Opera Mini error msg). I had the date on my phone set incorrectly, and the Opera server apparently didn't like that very much. Once I'd fixed that it worked fine... EXCEPT over WiFi. It works over GPRS (gotta wait 2 months b4 I can use my UMTS sim) but not over WiFi... oh well, that's the next problem that needs to be solved.

This is the Stage in PRINCE2 that's most relevant to Team Managers. Thought I'd just pop it on me blog. clipped from www.crazycolour.com Overview Managing Product Delivery is the interface between the Project Manager and Team Managers (or, in a small project, Team Members). The Team Manager may be a 3rd party supplier and will not necessarily manage their projects using PRINCE2. However they should be aware of PRINCE2 terminology and delivery expectations (via the Work Package and perhaps in contracts). The basic sequence of events is: MP1 Accepting a Work Package - agree work with the Project Manager MP2 Executing a Work Package - get the work done MP3 Delivering a Work Package - hand the Work Package back to the Project Manager . It is the responsibility of the Team Manager to make sure products are delivered by the Team Members. Team Managers must: Accept and check Work Packages Create and revise a Team Plan for the work Ensure that the work is done Ensure tha...

Am being spammed to shit by some losers via comments. Funny thing is I don't see the actual comments on the blog. I just ge the bloody email telling me I've received a comment... I hate not understanding this kind of thing.... bah! Anyway, I've turned word verification on for comments. Let's see if that helps.. :(
