how to erase all contents in bb 8310

I was given the task of wiping clean of all contents on my boss blackberry 8310 before handing it to another employee.  Of course I’m so stubborn and refuses to look it up in the manual on how to do it but I finally managed to wipe the blackberry clean with some trial and error. Here’s how you do it;bb 8310 erasing contents

1. go to settings-options-security options-general settings

2. scroll all the way down to Services and it should say *** no services ***

3. click and you should see the option to Wipe Handheld-click and watch it do its thing.

4. note: do not pull the battery out! be patient and wait! after it does its thing it will be a clean slate.

good luck!

Reformatting Liit’s computer

Number 3 is complaining about her computer doing the reboot stunt every once in a while.
I just re-installed Xp on it a while back.

So this time I’m reformating the whole drive and deleted the partition.  The only thing that irks me is the stupid cdrom keeps on throwing out read errors. How can I finish this intallation if it can’t load the files to copy? Grrrr…

asar bwiset inis dahil sa hindi mainstall ang dsl

nagpalagay pa naman ako dito sa trabaho ng sarili kong linya para masolo ko itong dsl tapos ayaw naman gumana. siguro hindi nilagay ang buong line dito sa box. haay nako..bayaan ko na lang.

akala ko pa naman mas bibilis ang speed ng internet ko…balik wireless ulit.

-update 12/05/08-  IT IS NOW WORKING!!!!
Ang tanga-tanga ko talaga!!! Pumasyal dito yung tech namin ng digital phones tapos tinuro ko yung problema ko. tinesting yung line-ok naman daw. Sabi ko ayaw gumana eh! Test sya ulit. Ok daw.

Pag-alis nya inopen ko yung self-testing ng AT&T DSL tapos the same error when I tried installing it..no ethernet connection…teka…teka..TEKAAAA!! aha! i remember now! dinisable ko pala yung local connection doon sa network setting a while back! Ay jajo! Enabled ko nga sya at PRESTO! connected na! INUTTTIILLL!!! hehehehhe!

Bank Bail out-DISD layoffs-New VPS-random thoughts

i’m just sitting here at mcdo eating breakfast and this random thoughts came to me…

New stuff to work on. I just signup for another vps (virtual private servers or virtual dedicated servers) para sa otrab ko. Sikret project para sa ikauuinlad ng kaalaman.
Na-provisioned na ang vps kaninang madaling araw dahil akala ko hindi pumasok ang bayad. Oks naman. Waiting na lang ako sa dns propagation para maupdate ko ang nameserver sa isang test domain.
Ang galing ano?! Knows ko ba talaga yung mga pinagsusulat kong yan o kyeme lang?  Bunga ata nang maraming oras, araw at buwan na walang patumanggang pagaaral yan!
Minsan nga hindi ko na alam ang goal ko sa isang test project I get lost in translation. ;)

Next naman. Approve na ata ang 700B bail out para sa mga banko, na nagpautang ng nagpautang pero hindi sigurado kung makakabayad dahil syempre sindikato na naman yan, pero ala na atang ligtas ang economy sa recession and going to depression na? Patay!!

Disd-daming malalay off na teacher. Actually mga non-contract workers muna ang napag-tripan ilay-off.  Katuwiran ng DISD they need to layoff people to make room for reshuffling from different districts na may surplus. Ska they need to reduce the DISD $84 million budget deficit that was recenlty disclosed.

Hrap na talaga ng buhay.

Switched yahoo alert from html to text

I made some changes on my yahoo weather alert from html to text format.
Somehow I couldn’t get my settings right on my bb8310 when I comes to html delivery. Its just a minor annoyance and the way I see it-if its not broken-don’t fix it!
But yea, if anyone needs a daily fix of weather info and you have unlimited text on your mobile then use its full capabilities!

Send alerts either from your google account or yahoo account.
Get yourself hooked! ;)

Bagong Monitor! Dual viewing pleasure!

my monitor setupMay sale sa Fry’s ngayon kaya napatakbo kami ng jowa ko sa store. AMW (unknown brand) 19″ wide screen LCD monitor sale ng $119 (kung sakaling mage-gets mo ang mail-in rebate) kaya perfect opportunity to start my dual monitor setup.  Yung nga lang hindi pareho ng aspect ang monitors pero syet! Added screen estate ata ito no!

I had one of those ATI Radeon 9200 installed on my old box.  Thanks to Mr. Ronald “Ona” M. for that video card. Bro! finally got around in installing it!  Ok. back to the story… The video card has those multiple video output; VGA, S-video and DVI.  Had a few issues in making my box recognize the new monitor but finally got it fixed.

My BB 8310-a long overdue posting

Blackberry 8310 Crimsom w/ gps-this post will be updated as I find time to add more to it…

I know at one time I had mentioned that a post about my new toy will be made.  I think that was a couple of months ago.  To be exact na-gets ko itong Crimson BB 8310 Blackberry 8310 Crimsom w/ gpsBlackberry 8310 Crimsom w/ gpsko before Thanksgiving. Talagang thank you na thank you ako! Eh paano naman dream BB ko talaga ito.  Bale 2nd unit ko na ito cuz I first had the bb8700c pero ala masyadong functions na enjoyable.  Here’s a list of some features that I liked about the blackberry 8310

Email- duh! The blackberries are well known for the email prowess! I used to make fun of people carrying their blackberry and can’t take their eyes off reading the tiny screen.  You can have up to 10 email accounts on your blackberry and which I have 9 of my email addresses on it.

Camera – 2 mega-pixel camera built-in this unit!  I used to carry 2 cellphones, one is my personal celphone (got to look back on my previous post to link here..) and my blackberry unit.  The reason why I lug those 2 units is because I’m quite attached to my camera phone. Well not anymore! Less weight to carry around now!  Also when I was still using my camera phone those picture files are too huge to mms to my regular account and puts a big dent on the internet service budget.

Media Player – the old 8700c has an undocumented feature on how to put mp3 files in your bb and the player sucks. Well the bb8310 player still sucks but at least it has a better interface.  It can play video files now though it record videos thru its built-in camera.

GPS – I like this feature! Never was a fan of those dedicated GPS units but this bb 8310 made me a follower.  I had to subscribe to TeleNav so I can get the full use of the gps features.  Though I can opt of the google maps or yahoo maps but I kinda want the audio that comes with the TeleNav software.

At&T will raise it’s Broadband Prices!

They said it’s competitive pricing..I say it’s sucking us dry!

The At&t price change of $5 will affect the 13-state traditional region (Arkansas, Cincinatti, California, Conneticut, Nevada,  Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Texas). The change will not occur in the 9 Southeast states and it’s gear to be in effect by March 2008

The current pricing:
– Basic (768 Kbps): $14.99 (will change to $19.95)
– Express (1.5 Mbps) : $19.99 (will change to $25)
– Pro (3 Mbps) services.: $24.99 (will change to $30)

I guess I will have to downgrade to the express level to retain the same pricing scheme.
