I awoke very surprised Sunday morning to see my mobile phone, synced to network time, was off by an hour. It was not my fancy new Cyanogenmod ROM either. I was flabbergasted to discover Rogers Communications’ NTP servers on their mobile network were broadcasting an unadjusted GMT-5 signal to my phone. A quick [...]  You are likely here because you are growing impatient for a slow, unpredictable OTA update to your phone. Or, even more likely based on this post’s tags, you are already unlocked and rooted, possibly running CyanogenMod and want to experiment with Froyo. Nandroid Backup before doing anything. Update: After rolling back to Cyan [...] There is a growing compendium of Nexus One knowledge out there, to the point where it was a bit confusing as to which instructions were the latest and greatest when it comes to upgrading the Nexus One phone. I call this an upgrade, although not one supported directly by Google, but obviously fully supported [...] The Nexus One, today, is without a doubt one of the best smartphones on the market. Out-of-the-box it is just cool… however to really set it apart from the other smartphones today, you have to move upstream from the Google-distributed firmware. In a nutshell, here are the big ticket items you get by moving [...] I have one. I am excited. It is powerful. I want to use it all the time. I am happy to have waited. Surprisingly I do not miss my Blackberry keyboard. The powerful apps, personalization and connectivity make it feel soo much like a micro laptop that I have lost my appetite somewhat for [...] Nearly a week into the Olympics, CTV unveiled their Olympic widget. The widget is put together by ClearSpring and can be embedded just about anywhere easily, including any WordPress-based blog. Check out the left pane of http://www.theupsons.net for a peek at what the finished product looks like. The process is automated if [...] Looks like embedding 3GP video from the WordPress Blackberry application (or any other source) is fairly trivial once you have completed a few configuration steps. One option is to modify the supported MIME types right in the code. Rather than change code I prefer to stay within the boundaries of the administration panels to [...] Some registered users may have received email notifications with a new temporary password. This is because until just a few minutes ago, many emails from this site were being blocked by our upstream ISP (Rogers) due to some issues with the headers in those emails. Likely this has prevented many users from registering and [...] Recently somebody asked me about key verification and signing after noting that emails from some sources (in this case, the Debian Security team) contain key signatures for verification, and that by default the Evolution email client was not validating them. The simple answer is that by default Seahorse, the default key manager for Ubuntu [...] Well, I get a fair bit of mail these days. Some can attest that my response to personal email can be at times, a bit slow. Thank goodness for DSPAM. I use a variety of e-mail clients (Linux-Evolution, Windows-Outlook, OSX-SeaMonkey, etc.) so having great spam filtering on the server, and NOT on the email client is [...] |
