MP3 downloads


Heard this "song" on the way home from work, and found it as MP3 on this site. Looks like a good spot for MP3's in general.

Droid !


Finally jumped in and got the Droid. Have been thinking about it since they came out and dragging my feet (big surprise), until Jamie and I saw an add this weekend for buy 1-get one free. Dove in.

Pairing with Jabra BT2040
This is my cheap-o bluetooth headset, which originally did not pair correctly. Worked on it again tonight and got it working. Turns out the first time I never got it into pair mode.

Here is the manual for the headset, but I couldnt get into pair mode by holding down for 5 secs like it says - it would just turn off. Finally got into pair mode by doing this:
when it's OFF, hold down the button to power it up, but KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN, then I get a solid blue light (which tells that it's in pairing mode)

Now the Droid is happy to discover it and pair.

FYI, if the manual is gone someday:
  • Solid blue light = in pairing mode
  • Slow single flash = connected to phone, in standby mode
  • Slow double flash = not connected to phone
  • Quick single flash = active on call
  • Quick double flash = incoming/outgoing call on headset
  • Triple flash = low battery

Outlook - bring back the "resource successfully booked" dialog


Reg hack to do this.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Options\General
where version comes from:
Outlook 2007 = 12
Outlook 2003 = 11
Outlook 2002 = 10
Outlook 2000 = 9

PONT_STRING is a CSV for each dialog that has been turned off. See the url below for the complete list of values.

Short list:
  • 11 -- resource booked
  • 13 -- expand distribution list
