Iphone has my vote

Well 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.

Load up firefox faster!

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!

The art of pure slackness…

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.
