The week of April 14th in My Digital Life
Last week I had issues with my iGo Juice charger not charging my AT&T Tilt and my Lenovo X60 charger going bad. My Tilt charged fine using the HTC charger. I received a new charger for my X60 in less than 24 hours from IBM (tough to beat this level of service), then my iGo charger started not to power my X60. I think it is the output cord and I have ordered a new one, maybe that was the problem charging my Tilt although I was able to charge my iPhone and my Verizon SMT5800. It is very bizarre that I am having all these power supply problems at once. The iGo has been very dependable over the years (I think it is at least 4 years old) but it may be coming to the end of its life.
I have not used twitter very much this week other than watching the incessant although amusing rantings from scobliezer. There seems to be a class of highly read bloggers that pretend not to take themselves seriously, but their continual banter leads me to believe that they do. I am also following WMExperts, they are trying to reach out in all sorts of ways using the latest blogosphere technologies and it very interesting to watch. But what makes twitter easy to follow is Rod Begbie Vista Gadget, without it I doubt I would be plugged in to twitter as much. On my side of twitter I have not reported much, I find I don't have the time or inclination in generating clutter and probably will just use it to report on events I attend or write random thoughts that don't merit a post.
Vista SP1 has been rock solid on my X60, however I can't say the same with the XPS 720, I have had two lockups this week with no real reasons. I did get a bluescreen dump on one event which supposedly pointed to a disk problem. I ran the disk check utility and it found no issues. I may run HDDregen to perform a surface scan just to be sure.
This week:
Helpful post, though in 8.04 you need to double click on the volume control, click on Edit/Preferences, then check External amplifier to be visible. The switches tab then appears. Uncheck External amplifier in that tab. Worked for me anyway.
