Daniel did you manage to upgrade that Blackberry, I've tried a few times to upgrade my LG without success, it's still at version 1.6 and should be able to upgrade to 2.1 but I've not had much luck.
I'm shutting down for the night now so will check back tomorrow.

Nah, no luck

I'm thinking of putting my mums sim in there, logging in to the App world then downloading a couple of apps, THEN trying the upgrade.

Tom, that'll be the one then

Cheers guys!

//EDIT
Oh awesome, thanks for the rep Tom

Outing a Harassing Spammer

I've spent about 10 minutes going back and forth on this forum and have not been able to figure out how to start a new thread! I'm in the unique position to KNOW just who has been sending me spam bombs. I thought I could PROVE IT, by
printing out the header information on each piece of spam mail, but now in this forum I read that can be spoofed so it will be of no value. I know the person's name, two (2) of her screen names- one AOL and the other gmail; her date of birth, where she works, where she lives, all courtesy INITIALLY of abuse at craigslist.org because she placed several ads using my stolen photo
as if it had been me. I'm a disabled veteran and retired on a VERY SMALL income, that's why I use AOL dial-up, so please, no cat-calls! Can I in any way solicit AOL
(I've found it difficult to even get an address at which to make such a request) to place the equivalent of a "trap" on either her computer (she also uses AOL in addition to a number of other ISPs) or mine to bust her and pressure her into ceasing and dessisting with her "spam bombs"?

Today, possibly the nicest Monday for a while.
Got about 20 calls logged on the helpdesk, but they were either Password resets, laptop wireless problems or something simple fixed within 10 mins.

Have been planning a NAS build for a while, I want to used them 15K drives that are sitting under my desk, also the RAID card.

So, planned specs so far-
Mobo - ASUS AT3IONT-I
Case - Lian Li PC-Q25, loads of space in there for drives, perfect NAS case
Hard drives - HITACHI Ultrastar 15K300 147GB 15000 RPM - Have got 3 of these
Will probs throw my spare 80GB's in there too, that's 5 drives, and still there's room for more in that case.
Mini SAS to SATA breakout cable - Will probably have a couple of these, supporting up to 8 drives on the RAID card
The RAID card
RAM wise, I'll throw the 2 512MB sticks I have sitting on my desk in there.
OS - Either Server 2K8 or FreeNAS, not sure.

Also, I guess I'm going to need a beast of a power supply to run the 8 drives if I eventually get that many.
Also also, the case hotswap bays are designed for SATA hard drives, I noticed that these SAS ones have a connection in between the data and power connections, like this, so I guess I'll have to whack out the dremel if and when I buy this stuff to make them fit.

Hopefully it'll become reality when I get my next payslip lol.

Do they serve any purpose? Other than annoying people in chats...

Today, I developed my first C# tool Well, one that actually does something useful!

Edit: Moved the second quote so the text behind those symbols is actually visible

^^ Heh cool, they all disappear when you scroll the screen.

Today,
I've been doing Health and Safety + Equal Ops today... Fun...

Boring day at work but I'm home now, so all is good.

 

[tom982]

Today I wrote another tutorial I also found out that I might be eligible for a free CompTIA A+ exam (courtesy of DreamSpark), so I've borrowed some CBT Nuggets training discs off a friend and I've begun learning

Nice, I think I'm doing the A+ next

Finally managed to make that Access Point a POE AP. Pics to follow.
Next thing to do is change all our wireless names to the same name, we use that at work, works fine.
After that I'm planning to throw a wireless card into the server outside and power it up, see what's going on with it.

//EDIT
Weeee, this was the topics 1500 post lmao.

//EDIT 2
Done all the AP stuff, all 3 are on the same IP range, on the same SSID, and on the same admin usernames and passwords.

POE pics,
Network and power IN end
Network and power OUT to the AP
AP up and working
And the adaptors that took me weeks to make

Excuse the pics on the carpet, meh.
Resized as they're going on other forum too
