If you need tech support, help, software, hardware tweaking..

I can help! If you need my help, click on the I CAN HELP icon to the lower right, and it will direct you to my Crossloop profile. I just set it up so that I can help out anyone in need. Its safe and secure, and naturally I promote open source software, and TRUE freeware. The software, Crossloop, which is just f*ckin awesome and completely FREE, is much like (but better than) PCanywhere. It essentially allows me to help you in, as if I was sitting at your desktop. As I said the software is a completely free download, no registration or any crap like that, just click download and install it. I do charge for help but the fees are very reasonable and cheaper than taking it to some Geek squad or some guy down at the mom and pops store that speaks broken english, and much better than the Indian call centers tech support.

How to put a DvD on Iphone…

I’m not sure why when you google this, there are quiet a few pages at the top that have no walkthrough for this, or why the walkthroughs that exist make it so much more dificult than it should be. It’s real simple folks, FIRST off the iphone supports more than just the commonly stated .mp4 format, it supports .m4v, .mov, H.264, MPEG-4, 3GPP & 3GPP as well, and there are more programs out there that convert dvd formatted files or .avi into .m4v than mp4. Now I should state that the way I refer to, is the easiest, but not the most ethical, but cmon, lets be honest here, how many of your songs on your ipod, or iphone did you actually pay for…..yah thats what I thought.

To put a dvd or any movie, which isnt already in the native format for it, your going to need to convert it. Apple would have got a huge kudos for being super fcking cool and just including the function to drag and drop and let Itunes automatically convert files and place it on the iphone, but I guess they need Quicktime to have some purpose in life, and a reason to charge 30 bucks every year or so when they update it. Ok….so were going to convert the video file, so you can get it on your iphone.

So most people have heard of Handbrake, which I have to admit is a great app, and it does do the trick most of the time on video conversion, however there isn’t a Windows version (cmon guys and girls this is 2008, you should have a Mac & and a PC) but whatever, so for both sides, you can use Quicktime (Pro) . If you are on a Mac then just click the link above and download Handbrake, when you start the app it will open up a source box, which you just find the file you want to convert, make sure the output is “MP4 File”, and convert the file. Possibly its just me, or maybe its handbrake’s new version, but I can’t convert .avi files into MP4, as a matter of fact Handbrake will not even recognize .avi files as a legitimate source….go figure.

So back to the easiest way….

You can pay 29.99 and legally buy Quicktime Pro, or you can use this method, I leave the moral choice to you, but fuck it, free always has a nice chime to it. Example, “this lapdance is 29.99, for the first song” , aaaauuuughhh, ooook, OR , “hey hot stuff, this lapdance is free-ninety-nine“, oh yah baby, bow chicka bow wow… The reason “I” think it’s retarded to pay the small 29.99 is that Apple updates Quicktime very frequently, I’d say almost three times a year, and each time they do, you have to pay 29.99 all over again, thats ridiculous, your paying for updates…even monopolistic Microsoft doesn’t do that.

So buy/download Quicktime Pro , install it, open the app:

Step 1: Open the file obviously, goto FILE then OPEN

Step 2: Export the File, goto FILE then EXPORT….under export, select Movie to Iphone , (I normally choose this, you can choose movie to ipod, or movie to iphone (celluar), even movie to mpeg-4) But for practicality just choose MOVIE TO IPHONE. Use the default settings, and choose the export location to wherever you’d like, then click Save.

This process will vary on time length, a full length 700mb pre-downloaded DvD in avi format will take about 3-4 hours depending on your system specs, hell Ive seen it done in 1 hour, and quiet possibly 20-30 min on some newer high end systems. I typically do it before I go to sleep and its done by the time I wake up.

Step 3: Open Itunes, and goto File, then Import, and select your movie file youv’e converted. It only takes a few seconds and now you are able to sync the movie to your iphone, its that simple, any questions, just ask away, Ill be around ;

Cheers

EDIT: Handbrake is what you’d use to convert actual DvD (.VOB extensions) into a iphone playable format (.mp4 , m4v) and does it very simply :)

Short and Simple

91 west bound freeway, to the toll road, to the 5 south, 120-150mph, I was in my charcoal porsche, this little hotty in a blue nissan Z, kept up in and out of traffic at some high speeds, with a calmness that Ive only seen me pull off, all I have to say, “Nice honey, very very nice!”.  I even passed a highway patrol, and he looked, smiled and gave me the “naughty naughty”: finger, then pointed and gave me the gesture to “keep moving”, amazing luck I have lol….

IBeatYou.com Challenge the world!

Pretty cool website for someone with a taste for competition, compete with the world in numerous catagories, check it out and you’ll see what I mean. Created by Cash Warren, Jessica Alba’s boyfriend, gained some popularity when she started a staring contest. Well Im not fan of Alba, she’s a stuck up girl , who seemed to forget where she came from (Pomona California) , a very shitty ghetto area. I like down to earth real people, who keep a foot on every step of the ladder on the climb to success. Anyways enough on my rant, check the website out, its decent.

1.1.4. iphone patch corrects delayed text placement

Title pretty much says it all ;) . To date, all versions and all models of the iphone can be jailbroken and unlocked.

Ziphone unlocks/jailbreaks 1.1.4 update

I just updated, didnt care if I lost my third party apps, since half of them are “semi-broken” or beta-ized anyways. I used Ziphone, and tada, my phone is again jailbroken, remember an hour ago when I said there was 300mb of unknown data on my phone? well its deleted now, and some apps that were previously on my iphone, but I couldnt uninstall them, there gone too, so cheers to that, Im sending out texts to see if the texting is still fucked up, because for some weird reason, the text messages are re-arranging themselves, so lets say my conversation originally looked like this:

ME: “Hi hot chick, lets practice making babies”

HER: “Ok, sounds good, Mr.Rockstar in bed!”

ME: “Cool Beans, meet me at my place at 9:00pm”

I exit out of Messages, and go rightback and now it looks like this:

HER: “Ok, sounds good, Mr.Rockstar in bed!”

ME: “Cool Beans, meet me at my place at 9:00pm”

ME: “Hi hot chick, lets practice making babies”

One word for this:

gaaaaaay….

Iphone 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 OTB or Upgraded UNLOCK

There are a lot of circulating posts around the web about whether or not the iphone can be unlocked after an 1.1.3 update, etc, the answer is YES. Another misconception is that there is no OTB 1.1.3, which is FALSE, the new iphones come preloaded with 1.1.3 OTB (out the box), which does NOT pose any problems with unlocking the iphone, however you cannot unlock the phone in the traditional method. Simply go HERE and download the GUI version of Ziphone (its free of course), and follow the instructions. One small detail that they fail to mention however is that your iphone needs to be plugged into the USB, and into the computer (obviously) , for you to put it into recovery mode, after that give it 20 minutes and viola!, your iphone is unlocked, and there are Sim unlockers in the installer for 1.1.3 that want to change networks.
The 1.1.3 update is WORTH it, previously I had the most shoddy reception, sending a text was impossible without the “E” (EDGE) network icon, as well as numerous call failures even with full bars but no EDGE connection. Thats all changed with the 1.1.3 update, as well as a few updates to the text messenger, and google maps.

Some of the programs like SMBprefs, and Customize, are limited in their capabilities, though parts of the applications work, other parts like changing notification icons, and sounds, seems to do absolutely nothing. This could possibly be an isolated problem but I doubt it.   Sendsong does not work properly as well, the application crashes my iphone upon attempting to open it, sending me back to the home screen, so my ringtones need to be purchased from itunes which in my opinion is a retarded method, and now forces me to pay 99 cents for a ringtone…lame.

Another issue is that I have an alloted 300mb of unidentified data on my iphone in a location I can not delete now, sooOOO when I have some time Ill have to find a way to locate and delete the data and hopefully my iphone will still work ;)

Swamped!

Sorry chaps, and ladies, I’ve been incredibly busy, and haven’t had much time to blog! I have 5 blogs and this one is more of my personal one, and I just haven’t found the time to sit down and post some worthwhile 411. I’ve recently upgraded office locations as part of my company’s growth and expansion, and am working on opening up two restaraunts, one in Laguna, and another in San Francisco, so I’ve been flying and driving back and forth to get things ready. I’ve been traveling quiet a bit as well, New York, Texas, Paris, Dubai,  and most of all enjoying life and all the blessings. I’m back home now, and just have so much on my plate, but I should be back in full force within a month or so.
