| *.jpg.rem Moving files of your BlackBerry 8100 to your PC |

Thursday November 20, 2008 4:15 AM
If you browse your media card from your PC and see .rem files, it means that
you have encrypted files and you will need to decrypt them before viewing
them on your PC. I ran into this issue this morning when trying to view
photos of Vibe FM Accra radio appearance for www.AstrientFoundation.org.
To work around the issue I had to:
1. go into advanced settings,
2. change the media card encrypting mode to none,
3. create a new folder on the media card through the desktop manager,
4. copy the .jpg.rem files to the new temporary folder on the media card
through the desktop manager,
5. download the new files to my pc through the desktop manager
You may also be able to do this in mass storage mode.

| Cygwin - uptime, tr, df |
|
Wednesday November 12, 2008 5:30 AM
If you don't have cygwin on your windows based machine you should get it
now. It brings many of the useful *nix commands to the Windows platform. I
should also mention Microsoft's SFU and MKS which offer similar
functionality.
You can get cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com
Once installed, you can use "man" or "info" to learn how to use a specific
command. I add the cygwin bin directory to my Path to enable the execution
of the cygwin commands from a regular Window's command prompt.
Lets cover a few basic commands.
uptime - uptime will print the amount of time the system has been running
and number of users on the system.
tr - tr will replace characters from an input source with new characters
df - df reports the storage usage for a file system
Please see the picture below for examples.

| Disabling PC Beep |
|
Wednesday November 12, 2008 4:15 AM
I work at the shell often and used to find myself annoyed by the beeping.
The annoying beep wont make you any new friends, especially when its quiet
and you accidentally cat a binary file. This is how you can disable the
beep.
1. Open the "Device Manager"
2. Select "Show hidden devices" from the "View" menu
3. Locate the "Beep" device. For my system, it is located in the "Non-Plug
and Play Drivers" branch
4. Right click and select "Disable"

It looks like Sony is also hosting a developer contest. I am a fan of these
contests and wish that they were publicized more. You can find more details
from the link below.

With the Yahoo! Media Player you can quickly add a media player for your
hosted audio files to your pages. I am considering it for use on
CliqCafe.com and will need to see how it works with virtual domains and
audio files delivered by servlets. For more information visit:
