As seen on Spark Notes. I’m researching Shakespeare for a job, I’m not really a fan.

Syncing M600i with Mac Address Book

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

I’ve been struggling with this for at least an hour now, and finally figured out how to get my contacts from my phone (the Sony Ericsson M600i, which doesn’t sync with Macs at present) into my Address Book on my Mac. Hooray! Here’s a step by step for the five of you who might also need this information.

Oh, I should mention, you might need to adapt this if you’ve got Bluetooth on your mac. I don’t, which was half the problem. I’m using the good old-fashioned USB cable.

1. Mac - Install Magnus Nordlander’s ‘SonyEricsson M600i USB File mode enabler‘, which means you can mount the phone’s memorycard on your desktop. This is good not only for the process I’m describing, but also for putting photos, music and video on your phone. Wowee!

2. M600i - Go to Contacts > More > Contact manager > Backup. Do it now. If it won’t let you do this, make sure your phone USB functionality is in Phone Mode (see number 3 if you don’t know how to do this).

3. M600i - Make sure your phone isn’t plugged in to your computer. Go to Control Panel > Connections > USB and change the ‘USB Functionality’ to ‘File Transfer’. Make sure to hit Save.

4. Mac - Plug the phone into the computer. The phone’s memory card should mount on your desktop. Look for other > Backup > Contacts > Contacts.vcf and import this file into your Address Book.

You win! Hooray! Thanks to Keith at newformula.org for pointing me in the right direction.

New domain!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I’ve bought a new domain, based on an idea I have for a future musical project that I’d like to call ‘A Duck Selling Quack‘. So, from this point on, that is my blog address, but with no spaces and with ‘.com’ on the end. You can also use ‘fraserj.co.uk’ if you prefer, but it’ll only bring you here…

Anyway, my music won’t sound like ducks. I just like the name. It’s kinda appropriate of a blog too… Maybe I’ll improve the design at some point soon too! :)

Moaning Minnie

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Why, when my internet speed has doubled, has YouTube suddenly got slower? Like annoying slow, not just inconvenient slow. Whats the problem here? If I were in traffic, I’d be honking like a tosser. Only I wouldn’t, cos I’m not like that.

Also, why are there fuck all jobs on the UK Craigslist? Does no-one need anything done? Where is the problem here? The problem is, I’d like some work. Now, please.

Thank you for your time.

I had no idea this phenomenon even existed, let alone it being staged down the road (3 and a half years ago).
