Unboxing Xperia X10

Stephen Lee — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 13:38:45 +0000

Well here we go again. New cell phones arrived and none too soon, can’t believe how limited I feel when using my old iPhone.

For those of you not familiar with the X10 , it runs Android 1.6. Although an older version of Android still beats the iPhone hands down as far as I am concerned.

Rather than me rewriting all the details about this phone here is a link that pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about the phone.

Unboxing Xperia X10 – The GreatBigDog Report

Let me add the keyboard really does suck big time. So I replaced it with this one [MOD] HTC_IME . Make sure to use the Hi Res version.

Hoping to get the Xperia X10 rooted in the not too distant future, so I can get back on custom ROM again.

If I have some time I’ll try and post more on this in the future, for now back to packing… more on the packing thing soon.

Have a great day!

Followup to Bake at 125

The ‘author’ of the ‘recipe’ for baking your cell phone at 125 has sent in pictures…

Wet Cell Phone – Bake at 125 for 4 hours

Like most ‘chefs’ it appears he was not happy with the original ‘recipe’ … ok so he decided to find more uses for his drying technique…

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way responsible for melting appliances, exploding small electronics or any natural disaster that could be caused by the following bake at 125 recipes or any variation there of.

Wet iPod - Baked at 125 for 4 hours

Wet Laptop - Baked at 125 for 4 hours

On a final note he did send the last to in as a joke, but he really did bake his cell phone and he swears it works better now than when it was new.

I’m thinking my iPhone, Android Dream or Android Magic probably would not fair as well in this recipe….

Cheers!

Wet Cell Phone – Bake at 125 for 4 hours

OK so we have all had someone we know do it or maybe it happened to you, cell phones and toilets don’t mix.

So friend of ours manages to have his cell take the big plunge into the depths of the toilet, like everyone he does the splash and grab and get’s the cell phone back.

First off he takes the battery out and uses the hairdryer on it for a bit, no wait it get’s better !

He then put’s the cell phone in the toaster oven on 125 degrees and slowly bakes the phone over 4 hours, turning occasionally…. I guess he figured it had been basted enough, so he just turned it over occasionally.

Well folks I can tell you took me the longest time to quit laughing when I heard this, but it worked so he is back in business and now all of you know how to dry out your cell phone when the inevitable happens.

As always… Have a great day!

uWho Find Me Android App

Stephen Lee — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:10:42 +0000

Well I posted my first Android app on the Android market. Unfortunately until Google allows merchant accounts in Canada the pro version will have to be sold somewhere else.

In the mean time the free app is available so you can have an idea how it works before buying the pro version that will have many more features.

More information can be found HERE

Well I have talked about woodworking and have talked about iPhone. So let’s tie the 2 together , here is a neat app for your iPhone.

Do you know if your hardwood flooring is red or white oak? Why does quarter sawn cost so much more than other cuts of wood?

This app is like an instant primer on any carpentry task that involves wood.

iPhone App Submitted for Approval

Stephen Lee — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:01:26 +0000

Well I submitted the uWho Dialer to Apple for them to review and put it on app store. It seemed like a very lengthy process, but it was probably just me having an off day.

It takes a bit to get together everything they want, but I am sure the next time it will be easier.

So now we wait.. and wait and wait…. to have Apple review the app and let us know if it is approved..

iPhone Dialer App

Stephen Lee — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:33:17 +0000

Well here is a screenshot of my first iPhone app. I must admit has been a bit of a blast to be writing an app again.

After listening to a lot of people complaining about objective-c I gotta say, it’s not so bad.

So next up we see how long it will take to get approved by app for the app store.

Anyway you can check out more info on the app HERE

We will miss you

They are now laid to rest, mother and child together forever…

We will never forget you, we will laugh and cry remembering you.

God bless you both.

A sad week for us

Stephen Lee — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:25:54 +0000

We had a terrible tragedy this week..

You can read the story HERE .

Amber Lee was our niece and cousin , we are so saddened by the loss of 2 such young people, we can not even find the words to express how badly we feel.

We had the great opportunity to watch Amber grow from a baby to a young women, to hear the laughter and share in the tears, but only had the opportunity to be with 9 month old Payton a few times in her very short life.

We loved them both and all we can say is may God take care of you Amber and Payton and we know you will be happy spending eternity together.

We will be spending the next 2 days with wakes and the funeral and will grieve for our loss, but we will also be able to find joy in the fact that mother and daughter are together and that Amber died a hero trying to save young Payton’s life.

Until we meet again ….
