Sorry for the inconvenience, will post again ASAP.

In the meantime have fun getting PhysX working with ATI as GPU and Nvidia as PhysX under Win7/XP: link

Yesterday, when I was looking for something from 2007 I stumbled upon this image. I thought it was cool.

Last 10 years in a picture:

I first came across it when I was watching the “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” series’ final episode.

Some variation to the original tune by me:

I just came down from the Isle of Skye,
I’m not very big but I’m awful shy.
All the lassies cry as I walk by
“Donald, where’s yer troosers?”

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go
All the lassies cry, “Hello!”, sayin,
“Donald, where’s yer troosers?”

I went down to London town,
To have a little fun in the underground
All the lassies turned their heads around, sayin,
“Donald, where’s yer troosers?”

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go
All the lassies cry, “Hello!”, sayin,
“Donald, where’s yer troosers?”

The lassies love me every one
But they must catch me if they can
You cannae put the breeks on a highland man, sayin,
“Donald, where’s yer troosers?”

Well, to be honest not every add-on needs a huge code change, some of them simply need their compatibility status updated, most of them work with 3.6 anyway. At least mine do…

I wanted Identi.fox and Echofon running, which I way I turned of the Extension Compatibility Check! Here’s how to force your Add-ons to work with 3.6+ betas.

1. Type “about:config” in your Firefox url bar
2. Search for “extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b”
3. If you have this entry change it from “true” to “false”
4. If this entry doesn’t exist, create it via:
5. Right click your mouse -> “new” -> “boolean”
6. Type in “extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b” for the new entry and set it to false

This is how it looks finally:

Enjoy your add-ons, but bear in mind there’s a reason that the add-on compatibility check is there!

Without it you can’t transfer your songs to your Sony NW-A3000 player,…or so I thought until yesterday! There are a few ways to transfer your songs to the player, let’s start with the easier one, shall we?

JSymphonic, an open source application (1 file!) written in Java, thus making it platform independent. It’s not fancy, it hasn’t the functionality of SonicStage, but that’s exactly what I did not want.

The biggest plus? JSymphonic supports up to Generation 7 of Sony’s portable music players!

You can transfer your songs from/to the player, delete them, erase the whole HDD, that’s it. You want more? Well, get SonicStage then. Since the whole application resembles only 1 file, you can easily place it inside the player thus being able to transfer songs from/to any computer anywhere anytime.

Note: In order to run JSymphonic you need to have Java Runtimes installed.

Now, the not so easy method!

1. Plugin your mp3-player
2. Backup your files by renaming your directory “OMGAUDIO” to something else like “OMGAUDIObackup” or copy them onto your HDD…
3. Create a new directory “OMGAUDIO”
4. If you have any mp3-player that is not protected: create a file named “nocode.txt”  inside the OMGAUDIO directory
5. If you have a protected mp3-player make sure you have at least ONE of the following:
   • MP3FM correctly installed with a MP3FM/DvId.dat file: see the official Sony page about MP3 File Manager
   • Make sure you have the decodeKey.dat from the keywizard in the directory “GYM” (Grab Your Music): more info at: http://clientes.netvisao.pt/~sonygym/index.htm
6. Download and copy ml_sony to your WinAMP-plugin folder

That’s it. Now run your WinAMP and start copying to/from your Sony’s mp3-player. I know a lot more work than JSymphonic, but there are folks out there using WinAMP.

Now least not last the Volume Limiter Hack!

Sony’s portable music players have, by standard, a volume limiter enabled to protect you from hearing impairment. Some of you couldn’t care less I presume or the normal volume is too low for you, so here’s how to hack it..

Enter the test mode, but ignore step 3:

Proceed to alter the settings according to

After that turn off the mp3-player, and voilá u hasz got moar volumez!

1. How to unassociate File Types in Windows 7!

No mater how much I turned my registry upside down, how much I deleted, something was missing. I just couldn’t find it. “F’k it!” I thought, and turned to google.

Lo and behold, I stumbled upon Unassoc. Simple, small, no installation! Oorah!

Simply search for the desired file type and click “remove file association (user)”, after that Windows 7 will use the global file association. If you still have the wrong application as your standard application then do “delete file type”.

Short version: It’s the identification of your geological location. Can be good, can be bad. I don’t like being stalked though! Firefox, by standard, has geolocation tracking enabled. If you don’t want it, turn it off with a few simple steps:

1. Type in “about:config” in your url bar
2. Type in “geo” in the filter bar
3. Look for “geo.enabled” and turn its value to “false”
4. For an extra icing on the cake: look for “geo.wifi.uri” and change its content to “WHATEVERYOUDESIRE”

This is how it looks after the change:

Enjoy your stalking-free Firefox!
