SendStation…a little disappointed

by TheGiant on March 2, 2010

SendStation went ahead and sent the Dock Extender but it won’t fit through my Otterbox case far enough to make a connection. Based on an assumption looking at the picture and the product’s web page I thought it might work with my iPhone case.  It will still work with my iPod case which is what I originally wanted one for, but still, drat, back to the drawing board.

New iPhone and Thanks to SendStation

by TheGiant on February 19, 2010

As quite the massive Valentines day gift from my mom I got a new iPhone, now it’s only an 8gig 3G not a 3GS but it’s fine for me, It also has a screen protector and it’s in an OtterBox which means this phone will last me, well until I decide I want something better, but since mostly I’m only putting apps on there (because I already have a 160gig Classic) it’s no big deal.

There is one small little problem with the OtterBox, the dock connector cover will only fit the smaller size iPhone plugs, not the larger iPod ones, so half my accessories won’t attach….but hey, SendStation to the rescue.

I’ve been curious about their accessories for years, They make the PocketDock adapters (with line-out) and DockExtender…perfect, I’ve been wanting both for sometime now, and they just came out with a mini-usb PocketDock in the smaller plug size, and they have a Black DockExtender now as well, perfect, now I can use the DockExtender, not just in docks, but to adapt the iPhone in my OtterBox to my larger plug cables without pulling it out of the OtterBox.

Order has  been placed we’ll see how it goes…

UBDATE: Apparently according to the email I just read, I will have to wait a month…ok I can do that I guess.

More MP3 Tagging stuff…

February 13, 2010

Right now I am messing with beaTunes. Looks quite cool for detecting BPM and playlist creation for iTunes. So far so good, right now I’m not using it for the tagging, just for the BPM detection, lyrics and stuff right now, looks like it’s going to take a while. It uses the same database and [...]

So the other day, I decided, what the heck, I will try Star Trek Online, I actually have several serial numbers unlocked on the same account, one of them is Steam’s deluxe edition.

Online geek stereotypes…

January 24, 2010

I was looking recently at the “I’m a Geek” video again and glanced at the comments. It irritates me to no end, that people think all geeks are the same, that all of us sit at home all day, play games and have no social life, well, for your information I just spent the last [...]

For me, a limited number of desktop shortcuts if possible and alphabetical order is the only way I can find anything I need, however this coworker, apparently likes to save like everything important to her desktop, and has [...]

Comcast & AT&T Stop blocking ports please!

January 8, 2010

I recently ran into a little problem, that I had to come up with a workaround for. See my mom takes her notebook to a few places pretty regularly, one has Comcast, one has AT&T. Comcast apparently blocks our server’s SMTP SSL port, and AT&T blocks our normal SMTP port, and that’s not something we [...]
