Today I ordered Casio EX-Z1080GY from buy.com. I lived without camera since I bought my iPhone, that's when I sold my S3 IS. I finally decided to get a decent and inexpensive camera to just have in the pocket. iPhone camera has failed .

Since a switch to iPhone 2.0 I was happy 100% minus one tiny issue. One of the most useful application I had on iPhone 1.1.4 is not working on 2.0. This application is NemusSync.

For now I figured another way to do this manually while NemusSync is not available for 2.0.

To sync your google calendar with iPhone caledar these are the steps:

My iPhone is now with 2.0 firmware thanks to Pwnage 2.0 tool . I used The Happy Coder's instructions.

Took a little bit more time than previous effort with 1.1.4, but all went smoothly. Most importantly all my calendar events, contacts, and other stuff was restored.

Yet another IE fork. How could it be any different? For those who're getting ready, the code below will work (at least on RC1)

<!--[if IE 8.000]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="css.css" /><![endif]-->

Ever since I decided to keep my iPhone I discovered a great feature of iPhone back-up. I never knew it worked so well, that's why I was always afraid to use so-called "Installer". Now that I knew I could always bring my phone back to factory settings without loosing contacts, calendar, and other data, I simply went crazy with Installer and discovered plenty of very useful apps — NemuSync, Flashlight, PocketTouch, and many more.

Of course not all these programs are ideal as they're not official. I found out a first bug with app called Navizon.

This month I spent way too much on a car. New tyres, alignment, tune, inspection. And I almost forgot I have to register the car with the city and state. That's going to be another couple of hundreds gone.

Synaptic3 is the best shop! :) fixed my new map for free, thanks Jay and Dana.

So when I sold my iPhone on ebay, I had a condition that payment must be made within 24 hours. The person who bought it couldn't get money in time and we kindly agreed to not exit out of transaction. I had a number of reasons to keep an iPhone for now.

But today and yesterday I noticed that I couldn't access my iPod area of iPhone and when connecting to my laptop, iTunes complaining that something got corrupted. Either way, I opted to restore and update my iPhone to 1.1.4. Previously, I've been running 1.1.1. 

Finally my car got its chance to get tuned by some real wizard! Thanks to Franz Diebold, Synaptic3 for organizing, and KTR for hosting.

Tyres are finally installed, now need to finalize state inspection and get alignment done. Then I'll be ready to hit the road.

The time has come to say good-bye to iPhone 1.0. New version of iPhone is few days away, and I definitely want that. So up for sale it is!

Today I got my new Falken Azenis RT-615 225/45R17 after a little scare of them being stolen. Turned out UPS guy delivered them to a wrong house.

If you have to hack your CSS for IE6, no doubt you faced with a lot of frustrations. One of the annoying things is when you set some element on the website and it all seems to be okay and finally problem solved. But as soon as you resize the browser, some elements jump to other seemingly random places.  But I wasn't smiling when trying to get this to work.

I decided to write this remark after I overcame one challenge during one of my work tasks. This may seem trivial to some. It wasn't for me. Could be useful to someone else out there.

With my previous projects I had full access to css, html, js, etc. At my new job I have access only to css. At my new job I don't have access and cannot modify html structure. I can request html structure modification, but it will not be so quick.
