first_iphoneWell I was issued an iPhone a month ago by my work and it has proven itself to be amazing in so many ways. I am writing this blog entry from the phone using the worpress app. It is slick and awesome to use.

There are a few shortcomings though.

1. The iPhone does not act as a USB storage device.
2. To get my audiobooks on to the device I had to trick it by including them into a dodgy playlist.
3. I wanted to store some PDF files as references. The iPhone has a PDF reader App but that can’t read any files unless they are online so I can’t view any files stored locally on the device.

You can slash Firefox’s slow load time by compressing the DLLs and executables. There are many choices for compression but I suggest you use UPX which is free, efficient and time proven.

1. Download UPX from http://upx.sourceforge.net/#download

2. Unzip upx.exe into your Firefox installation folder which is normally C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

3. Make sure Firefox is not running then shell to a command prompt in the Firefox installation directory.

4. Type in the following command in a single line and hit return:

for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v”

5. If on some later occasion you want to unpack the files, just type in the command above but add the decompression switch “-d” after “do upx.”

That’s it; enjoy the difference!

Well it is December and I aint updated this since April. Admittedly the DalekDevelopment has taken a backseat to health, renovation issues so a little has still progressed. I am taking January off though so there should be some great progress then.
