No Google Wave invite in my inbox yet. Sigh.
And so far only one seller on eBay, with a current high bid of $51.00.
I'm gonna try to wait until tomorrow, by tomorrow one of the following will probably take place:
1. I will receive an invite from Google (in my dreams)
2. More sellers will list invites on eBay
3. More sellers will not list invites on eBay, driving the bid up on the currently available invite to over $2,500.
Everything you need to know about Wave in less than 10 minutes:
 Back that 'Contacts' Up
OK, Here is how to back up your iPhone contacts on a PC. I just did this and its super easy: - Open i-tunes on your computer that you sync it to - Plug in your phone to the computer - open "Address book" window's address book program. Kinda lame, but it works. Its under start-programs-accessories - Back to iTunes, click on the phone icon on the left - Click on the Info, and under "Contacts" (the first one) check "sync contacts from" and then pick "Windows address book" from the drop down menu - Click all contacts - Then at the bottom right of iTunes, click "Sync" It will ask you if you want to merge or replace. Make sure you select "MERGE" or it will delete your contacts on the phone. Thats it, check your Windows Address Book and everything should be there. All the numbers and emails that you have put so much time into adding to your phone. Pretty nice. So, from now on, if you add contacts to the phone it will back up to the Computer and the Computer's Address book (if changed) adds new contacts. Hope this helps. Peace |
Someone with the handle "hillyhi11s" posted this in the Everythingicafe Forum back in September 2007. It is such a handy little tip for backing up iPhone contacts that I'm sharing it here.
Thank you, hillyhi11s!!!!
If your digital camera displays a "MEMORY CARD IS LOCKED" error message, the problem might be that the tiny lock switch on the SD (Secure Digital) memory card was inadvertantly moved into the locked position.
Take the memory card out of the camera, and take a close look. You'll probably see the word "Lock" printed along the left side of the memory card.
If the tiny lock switch slider is in the down position, the memory card is locked.
Carefully, and gently slide the tiny lock switch slider into the up postion to unlock the memory card.
If you have a computer or server catastrophe, it might be necessary to rebuild your blog or website. If, for some reason, your backup files are also damaged or disappeared, it might be necessary to find another way to restore your previous pages and/or posts.
The major search engines all have a "cache", that is a temporarily stored copy, of all sites they have crawled.
If no other backup is available, you can rebuild at least some posts and pages of a broken blog or web site by copying and pasting from a search engine's cache. And if you ever need to rebuild a blog or web site that way, you will want to know which search engine has stored the most posts and pages.
In my testing, it was Yahoo!
Try this test for yourself:
Go to Yahoo!. In the search box type: site:mysite.com
Note: No space between the colon and the site name. Also try with and without www. To retrieve the cached page, click on the word cache.
Now try some other search engines:
Go to Bing. In the search box type: site:mysite.com
Go to Gigablast. In the search box type: site:mysite.com
Go to Google. In the search box type: site:mysite.com
Please don't think this bit of information is an excuse to stop backing up your blogs or websites. But in the event of disaster, it can help get you up and running again.
Over the last couple weeks, a few friends have suffered various computer crashes and data losses.
The following tip originated with a comment by Brad Coy on a Bloodhound Blog post:
Use Google Reader as part of a back up system for your blog! (Any RSS reader will do, of course, but Google is handy and easy to use.)
Open up Google Reader.
Create a new subscription to your own blog.
That's it you're done. Set it aside and forget about it.
But if you ever have a computer crash, or lose your previous blog posts in any other way, just open up Google Reader, and there they are.
Using a backup program or the WordPress export function makes for easier automatic recovery of lost posts, of course. But the RSS feed can prove to be a great safety net when you discover your backup barfed along with your harddrive.
Organzing your Facebook friends into "Lists' will make Facebook much more useful for you, and may, in fact, save your sanity.
From the Facebook home page, you create "Lists" and put different people on different lists. Then drag your "A-List" to the top, so by default those are the only folks you see when you first open Facebook...
On your Facebook home page, look at the left column ...Right below the list of icons in that column, you'll see a link that says "More"... Click on "More".
At the bottom of the expanded list, click "Create New List" (If you don't have a lot of stuff in the left column, you'll see "Create New List" without having to use the "More" button.)
After you click "Create a New List" a box will pop up displaying all your friends. Create a name for the list, then work thru all your friends, selecting just the ones you want to appear in your new list of update feeds.
When you've finished selecting friends to this list, click "Create List"
That new list will now appear at the bottom of the icons in your left sidebar column. Click on "More" again to expand the list.
Once the list is expanded, you can drag the icons to different positions in the list. If the list you just created is your "A-List", drag it to the top of the left column sidebar. The list that is at the top is the one that will display by default when you open Facebook.
To read what's in the other lists, just click on the list title.
Using this technique, you can make separate lists for special friends, family, business friends, Active Rain friends, people in a particular club or group, church friends, people working on a particular project. etc., etc., etc....
