Comment on iTunes Videos Won’t Go Full Screen and/or Flicker by Sebastian Laforsch

I got the same problem in WIN 7. I fixed the fullscreen mode of itunes with using the XP fonts in WIN 7. Using the XP fonts another problem occurs: The itunes miniplayer is really small and nearly not visible and the fonts of some itunes menu windows are to small to read. Has someone a solution?
By the way, I don’t really understand “Personalize Windows 7 BASIC”. I swithched the Windows design to Windows 7 basic, and nothing happens, the fullscreen mode of itunes won’t work ….

The nook looks really promising.

Have discovered the free.kindle.com email address now so I can convert PDFs etc without incurring a 99c charge – also Project Gutenberg has lots of free books in Mobipocket format which is supported by the Kindle.

However, overall the content available to United Kingdom due to publisher rights restrictions is massively disappointing. The Kindle is certainly not a replacement for ALL books yet.

Hi,

We are looking for a similar wooden beer tasting tray to be used here in Dubai. Can you help us with its manufacturer/supplier.

Thanks,

hey man in your settings there is a box to check for XP font scaling. This way you can change your dpi and still have full screen mode. hope this helps. apple will have a fix for vista soon.

Hi Jef, Great. Thanks for the comments and great to hear you’re doing flights in an A37! I was down in Australia a few weeks ago and seriously considered calling up to book a flight. Anyway, it’s slightly late but you are welcome to use my A37 video for whatever purpose you require. Anthony.

Comment on Yahoo! Pipes by anthonyjhicks

anthonyjhicks — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:45:44 +0000

Hi Jaf, I was using a regex to change the URL with the Movie ID to a view link for embedding – the pipe with the regex is here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=0574af8dcee6d5ea94e7cb6cd9274f83
You’ll need to modify it further to actually acheive what you want though.

Comment on VoIP, SIP, IAX, Asterisk and Bluetooth Presence by anthonyjhicks

Hi Thomas, I can’t really help. I last played with Asterisk almost 3 years ago now, so I’m not really up to date with the latest versions. My configuration files, scripts and memory are long gone.

Comment on VoIP, SIP, IAX, Asterisk and Bluetooth Presence by tom

tom — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:55:30 +0000

I am tracking your GPS location from here in the USA.
Hope you are well. Excellent comments. I am trying to build a solution with Asterisk that will use a DID (El Salvador number) on my machine with a rule to forward the calls that are targeted to the DID to a customer here in USA.
The calls originate in SAn Salvador and the end point is a cell phone in usa.

Can you comment on how I could do it please?
Tom

Alternatively just point me in the direction of the pipe and i’ll work it out…

Any help would be much appreciated.

G’day,

I loved your video of the A37 at Avalon… we actually displayed ours in 2007 VH-AZD – Owned by Gary Criddle we’re planning on running adventure flights out of Bankstown Airport and Goulburn Airport to name a couple.

I was hoping to download your video and use it or perhaps some stills from it on our website or with perhaps just a video presentation at the Wings Over the Illawarra flyin day on Feb 22nd 2009.

Please let me know if you dont mind!

Cheers,
Jeff.

Jetinder — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 02:23:46 +0000

Hi Anthony

I am a Concorde chaser and have been one for 27 years.

I just found your video on You tube.

This is a brilliant and quality IS pin sharp.

This video brings back very very happy memories of Oct 2003, on 21 Oct 2003 I flew on Concorde to New York.

When you took the night time video of Concorde and the Concorde crossing i was probably standing near you as i took photos of the same thing (but mind didnt turn out good as my flash unit wasnt so powerful so my photos where almost black).

Well done for putting this on internet.

Kind Regards

Jetinder

P.S.
What date did you take the take off video ?

As that might have been my flight.

I have operated my small internet business for 2 years from a “small office at home”. This small office is 159 cm x 227cm has a desk 159cm x 60cm, 2 office chairs, 1 full size 4 drawer filing cabinet, 1 portable air conditioning unit, 1 portable electric heater, 1 fax machine, 1 desktop PC, 1 laptop computer, 1 printer.

This “office” has an inward opening door plus 1 window.

Comment on May 1st Reboot by anthonyjhicks.com

anthonyjhicks.com — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000

Title: Re: To Whoever Wrote that May 1st Reboot Paragraph

Regarding placeholders, look at the date I made the comment, 2 years ago. Perhaps they don’t use placeholders now, but in 2001 they did. Look harder next time.

No disagreements over it being a nice method for designers to promote themselves, however you’ve misunderstood the underlying message of the post: for such a diverse creative group, they’re still just as likely to sheepishly follow the masses and jump on the May 1st bandwagon like everyone else. Which went against my early impressions of the design community in 2001 as highly original community unlikely to join any mass web based self promotion opportunities like this.

Title: To Whoever Wrote that May 1st Reboot Paragraph

The web design/multimedia community doesn’t have a limelight; it will be a long while before the best web designers get interviewed on the Tonight Show or Conan O’Brian. I think Reboot is a great way to help this comparitively new art medium grow and be supported. As far as Reboot placeholders? The sites that I’ve seen for Reboot have been the actual sites, so…what are you talking about? Look harder next time.

A year and half later they’re long gone. I doubt it was the location as they had plenty of passing pedestrian traffic. I think it’s just that people don’t want to risk having their boss see them dropping into a storefront recruiter at lunch.
