W300i iSync 2.3 Plugin

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Update:
This is not needed for Leopard!! The W300i will work natively out of the box with 10.5

So the latest version of iSync changed the way that plugins worked which meant that Miche was without the ability to sync her phone with her mac… this will be easy to fix says I…

After playing around for an hour trying to re-write the plugin myself and getting no-where fast I found this page which had a tutorial on creating iSync 2.3 plugins:

DIY iSync Plugin

The site was incredibly helpful and with a bit of messing about I was able to get the correct settings for her phone and it all works again. Here is the fruits of my labours incase anyone else has a W300i that they would like to sync with their mac.

SE W300i iSync 2.3 Plugin

You need to extract this to:

/Library/PhonePlugins (then restart iSync)

The image is incorrect for the phone but is the nearest image I could find for the particular model (which turned out to be a SE Z520).

I had found websites selling their premade plugins but Im loathed to pay for something I think should be free, which is why Im sharing the above to hopefully save others the hassle!

JB Speaker

v1.0 of some Jellybass inspired artwork. We are thinking that this might make it onto the vinyl label.

Thoughts everybody?!?!

At last we have got the contract finalised for the Jellybass release!! There will definately be a 12″ vinyl (possibly more than one) and a CD album release supposedly before christmas. There were a few issues with sample clearance so one tune maynot (not 100%) make it onto the final release.

Not long now till the general public can feel the tremble of the Jelly :D

Bonobo has just released his 3rd studio album and its possibly his best yet! Got quite a few vocal tracks on this release and they work so well over his mellow beats.

This is another must have album!

Starstakka Album Artwork

After a few false starts regarding the printing of the artwork, the album is finally back from the factory! This is a collaboration between Kez, Jen, Chix and myself and is more of a poppy/vocal led sound than other stuff I’ve been doing. Lyrics are almost exclusively written by Kez/Jen with me and Chix on the buttons!

Ill try get some audio clips organised when I get back from Middlesborough sunday eve but there are a select few tracks available for preview @ myspace/starstakka

The albums are being sold for ?Ǭ£10, if you want to get a copy of the album then drop me an email and we can sort out payment.

Let us know what you think :D

Bad Apple?

Friday, October 6th, 2006

As much as you love the products, Apple Customer/Technical support is the worst I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been a Mac user about a year now and have never had (or heard of) a positive convasation with their operators… Is this a run of bad luck or is this more of a ‘feature’?

To date…

1) Monkeying around with payment of Powerbook, canceling order for not getting payment after payment was made

2) Charging me twice for Logic 7 Pro, refusing to give money back… had to get bank to intervene on my behalf.

3) Same as point one for Miche trying to order a Photobook from iPhoto

4) 3 Hour convo (well 2hours 45mins on hold and 15min convo) after Hitch’s G5 tower didn’t come with the PCI slots it was sold as having

5) Si’s iPod delayed arrival due to the company purchasing it having problems like point 1

6) Chris having problems gettin Apple to aggree that his iPod is faulty (inspiration for this post!)

Anyone ever had a positive interaction with Apple staff??
