"I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake."

-George Bernard Shaw

This kind of quote puts hard work, like law school, in a whole new perspective! In the moment, hard work seems painful but might not seem valuable... Look ahead; you are making an investment in your whole life which can not be taken from you. The harder you attack it now, the more of a payoff you get in the future. Attack~! :-D

T-mobile doesn't want you to tether your Samsung Vibrant

First, I read the article and comments here: http://samsungvibranthacks.com/samsung-vibrant-hacks/how-to-usb-tether-your-samsung-vibrant/

I tried following directions, but tethering only works on the older version of the kies software; see below:

I am having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM as many users. I'm trying to tether my laptop to my Samsung Vibrant using Samsung Kies version Kies_1.5.3.10093_82 and Android version 2.1 update-1: I'm beginning to believe that T-mobile doesn't want us to use our phones to connect to the internet... They'd rather sell us a T-mobile Broadband card.

T-mobile, I paid top dollar for this phone, I expect it to be fully functional!!!

Guess What: I just installed an older version of Samsung Kies; version: Kies_1.5.1.10071_32 and My phone hooked right up (after I applied the connection properties etc.) Looks like that version can be downloaded from this site:http://www.4shared.com/file/cSreYUQN/Kies_15110071_32.html (I do not guarantee this download. Download at your own risk. I did not download the version from this source, just did a google search to find it.)

Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook® works with gmail accounts!

My name is Cody Hayes, and if you're making it to my blog for the first time, you might not know that I'm an avid fan of Google products and services! At Mortgage Advisory Services, among other things, I work with individuals and companies (including independent loan officers and mortgage companies) to help them take advantage of amazing tools, just like Google Apps.

Google Apps is a great tool for business owners to administer e-mail, cut down on spam, and collaborate within their organization.

For those of you who are not business owners, but have recently purchased an android phone (T-Mobile G1™ with Google™, Motorola CLIQ™, T-Mobile® myTouch™ 3G, T-Mobile® myTouch™ 3G Slide, Samsung Behold® II, Verizon's Motorola Droid, or any other Android phone) you may have a need to export your data from Microsoft Outlook to your new Google Account (gmail, Google Calendar, Contacts etc.). For you folks, you will be happy to know that the Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook® works with gmail accounts!

Do you know what this means for Android Users!!!

This is a link to download the migration tool: http://ow.ly/1VpMN

These are the instructions I followed when using the migration tool.

1. Download the tool and install on the computer which runs outlook: (http://ow.ly/1VpMN)
2. when the tool runs it will allow you to sign into g-mail, then select either a outlook profile, or specific PST file to migrate.
3. then the tool will ask which data you want to migrate. Choose from contacts, calendar, or e-mail. (I chose to do the migration for contacts only because I didn't want the conversion to take FOREVER), and I'm not sure If I want to catalog 6 GIGS of e-mail to my g-mail account.
4. Then press the migrate/start button and the software will migrate your data. PS - I was migrating non-microsoft exchange data.
5. There is a separate tool for syncing your calendar between Outlook/Google Calendar which essentially performs the calender portion of the migration, plus sync's your calendar data on an ongoing basis (Here's the link for the calendar sync:http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=98563)

If you need assistance with this tool reach me at 602-373-8485 and I can answer some basic questions for you.

A bad day for kitty cats

July 19 2008... Sean and I went to look for dogs at the Animal shelter.
We saw this sign on the door. Just after we noticed the sign, a family walked in with a cat.
When they came out, No cat.

Maybe the family couldn't read? Maybe they could!
