iPhone 3Gs Voice Control Issues
I’ve really been enjoying the new iPhone 3Gs, a lot.
The voice control functionality is very nice and helps a lot when you want to start playing music or turn on shuffle mode, or make a call. Well, call almost anybody. There is one person voice control refuses to recognize. Who? Mom.
Me: “Call Mom mobile”
iPhone: “no match found”
Me: “Call Mom”
iPhone: “no match found”
Me: “Call Jen Melchi mobile”
iPhone “calling Jen Melchi mobile”
I’ve had others try to “call mom” on my voice control, all to no avail. Voice control recognizes everyone else I want to call, just not “mom”.
Interesting, wonder why Apple doesn’t want me to call mom using my voice.
Anyone else having the same issue?

Car Troubles

Last week, the water pump in our VW Jetta broke and since we were near a local shop where we know the mechanic, we pulled in and asked advice. He told us to take the car down the street to this other shop that specializes in foreign cars.

HP Mini 110 – Still Waiting For Root Device
about 8 months ago - 1 comment
Upon booting verbosely, I saw the Still Waiting for Root Device message. After googling that message, it appeared that the error was common in the OSX86 world and was not usually easy to fix. Many different people having many different experiences with it. Some easily fixed, some not fixable.
To fix, I restarted the PC again and went into BIOS setup, changed the boot options to have the USB drive first in the list and the HDD second.

Lizzy vs H1N1

If you read the previous post about Lizzy being sick, I said she had a viral throat infection. That was, until, her fever went up to 104 degrees and the other H1N1 (swine flu) symptoms kicked in. She had just been to the doctor on Tuesday morning where they ruled out H1N1 because of the
Incase Power Slider – Fail

Yesterday, I purchased the Incase power slider for my iPhone 3G S. It boasts that it will double your iPhone battery life while protecting it with it’s case. Since battery life is important to me and I find my self constantly running out of battery (usually around 2pm each day), I was excited to get

I installed Ghetto Tweets a few months ago. There is a pretty good review about it, here… Overall it’s a fun little app to play around with. Minutes worth of fun. Some examples: Here is @BarackObama talking about Ted Kennedy. Here is the real update… Here is @LeviPBlauvelt talking about me. Here is the real
Phantom iPhone SMS Notifications

UPDATE: Since I’ve posted this message, I have found several forum posts on the apple support forums indicating that the notifications are reminders of unread SMS messages. Must’ve missed that part of the release notes for 2.1 firmware. There doesn’t seem to be any way to turn it off as of the time of this
iPhone Durability
about 2 years ago - No comments
While driving, I tend to slide the iPhone under my leg to keep it secure during the car ride. If I leave it on the seat next to me, it slides around and could fall off the seat. If you put it in a cup holder, it can still rattle around. So, on Friday, I
iPhone AFP Share

Erica Sadun posted about this over on tuaw.com. Thought I’d try it out for myself. Seems to work quite nicely, minus a couple minor things. 1. Copies over to the iPhone quite easily 2. Using the command provided (/opt/iphone/afp/startserver.sh. &) the AFP server starts on the iPhone and stays running for some undetermined amount of
