iPod volume problem

I just discovered why my iPod video would sometimes go bananas where the volume would fluctuate wildly and deafen me in the process. It’s the mobile phone .. when it’s talking to the cell, the iPod goes mad.

The solution is to keep the two apart it seems. I should have google’d - I’m sure someone would have known the answer!

BlackBerry 0 - Lotus Traveler 1
Posted on May 11th, 2008 at 10:16 am by Kemal

Well, I never thought this would happen but after three years of battling with WEA and hating it and a troubled start with Traveler for the last 6 months, finally WM5 and Traveler has overtaken the venerable and cool 8700g BlackBerry as “trusted mail device”. This is because the BB has stopped syncing the calendar properly (missed appointments - not sure why) and Traveler now sync’s perfectly and immediately.

So I now carry the BB for trusted push mail, Traveler for trusted sync’d calendar (can’t say “push”),  an iPAQ 4700 for videos, iPod video for music and a Qtek 9090 for personal mobile calls.

Go on, say it .. “are you mad?”.

This made me laugh .. a decent error message (instead of the useless 404):

Lets see how long I can manage without it .. last record attempt was 13 hours without the BB and that was hard!

I’m not worth much

Although only blogging for a few weeks now, and not very much at that, I thought I’d compare myself to a few colleagues and check my blog’s net worth .. to see if I can retire to the BVI. Erm..

Maybe not then! See here

From the FlyingBlogger, a genius at work (my opinion) ranting, like I’d like to, about flying.

Warning .. will upset people with a sensitive nature.

Lotus Connections for the BlackBerry

I’m testing now the beta of the Connections for BlackBerry code. Updates follow …

That’s it .. I’ve had it

Back to XP SP2 at home .. I can live without DX10 for a few years until Vista Home Premium is fixed .. what a waste of money and time that was. It added absolutely no value.

Now, where’s my CD ..?

I have a bunch of ‘funny’ pictures on my IBM website here .. and this is going on it as well:

Someone on twitter.com is following me so I checked their profile .. and he’s following this many users. You’re joking right? How can one ‘follow’ this many micro-bloggers? I doubt there are enough minutes in the day .. seems to be a what we in turkey call a “sidik yarisi”. I’ll let you use your imagination.
