Than losing the one you’ve shared problems, fun and of course love with. It’s like your whole world is getting nuked. I know how it feels like, because I’ve been there probably exactly like you (because you’re reading this, right?). I tried to establish a new relationship but it always felt weird. Because every new partner you meet is a completely different person. Or, maybe even worse, your new partner is reminding you about the one you *really* loved…

So if you’re looking into ways of getting your ex back you’ve just found the right spot. Be aware that couples reunite every single day and it doesn’t matter in most of the cases how the relationship ended. It’s simply because that feeling of comfort you shared with your ex or just the fact, that the partner was someone who perfectly could understand your every little weakness and strength has created a subconscious bond with your soul which ties people together like super-glue.

Relationships are ending because people are trying to push their partners to think they are the only person on this earth who is the one and only real love. Another thing is that some people often apologize too much for every little thing. At one point you’ll get numbed down by all those apologies and can’t separate a real apology from a constantly said one. Promising to really, really, really change THIS time is also often an issue…

Before you gotta throw out your money for some relationship counselors and the like, you should check out this unconventional guide.

Nowadays many people own an iPhone or an iPad. Honestly they’re very neat little gadgets. Not only they look great, they offer also the possibility to do countless things.

After doing some serious research on that topic, I’ve found a nice set of howtos and instructions in an ebook to build your own apps and how to sell them efficiently on the iTunes AppStore.

This particular one is the best collection I could find after getting more and more confused by the vast amount of info on the internet.

The ebook teaches you the following things:

• How to Program in BOTH C and Objective-C
• How to work with iPhone OS, Cocoa-Touch and UIKit
• How to assemble a complete working iPhone app
• App Development Formula: Step by Step process of building an app from selecting a niche, design, planning, coding and promoting your product

Basically that’s all you need. The eBook itself has more than 300 pages and is fully packed with information. Even code snippets are there to show you how to get things started.

It’ll currently cost you $47.97 and is worth every cent. Of course you have to be motivated and take your time to work through it. Also the supplier gives you a 60 days money back guarantee. So if you tell the author of the eBook why you’re not satisfied, he’ll give you back a full refund.

So the bottom line is:

“If you want to get started fast in iPhone development check out my ebook where I show you everything you need to learn programming specifically for the iPhone. Don’t waste a lot of time on learning all the lessons the hard way – skip the hard part and go right to the finish line.”

TELL ME HOW TO WRITE AND MARKET IPHONE APPS ALREADY!

Screenshots or captures are a great way to show people how something looks like on your screen. Windows already provides a build-in way to capture your screen(s).

If you press the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard (it’s usually right above the “Insert” key) Windows will capture your current screen and store it in the clipboard. Usually you paste it into MsPaint or directly into your favorite office application.

To capture the current active window of e.g. your webbrowser you just have to press ALT+Print Scrn and Windows will copy the image of the active window into the clipboard. So far so good.

If you have to work with screenshots on a daily basis you won’t be very happy with the Windows solution. For example I need to make screenshots of applications to prove to the developers that there’s a certain bug in their fancy new program. I started to look around for a tool which is easy and fast to handle, preferably free, lets me draw some circles or rectangles on the captured image and allows me to save the captures directly into files without the need to start mspaint.exe.

Greenshot – Tiny, incredibly powerful screen capture tool

So I stumbled upon the free, open source tool called “Greenshot”. It features an own image editor which lets you to instantly edit the screenshot you’ve just made.

If you start up Greenshot and hit the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard your cursor will turn into a crosshair which lets you to specify the region on your monitor to be captured.

After you have done that your screen will flash and the build-in image editor opens up where you can make further changes to your capture like crop it, write text, draw rectangles, circles or arrows and even obfuscate the parts you don’t want the recipients of your screenshot to be able to read.

And still, you’re able to capture single windows, or your complete screen(s). BTW, you can even capture the output of your video player which displays the picture in overlay mode!

Click on the Greenshot logo to get it or read more on what it can do for you!

Jailbreaking made easy

The latest and probably best tool to jailbreak your iPod, iPhone or iPad is the website www.jailbreakme.com. To jailbreak your device, just point the Safari browser on your “iDevice” to this address and “Slide to jailbreak”. After a few moments the Cydia app will magically appear and you’re ready to explore a huge amount of useful apps and other tools.

You should consider backing up your device so you can go back to the official “jailed” iOS by using the Restore option in iTunes.

How to get access to the shell?

By default you can find the app “MobileTerminal” on Cydia. This enables you to get command line access directly on the device. The problem is that if you already upgraded your device to iOS4 the MobileTerminal app won’t work. You tap it but then it will close immediately after. The solution for that is to add the source cydia.xsellize.com to Cydia and search for “MobileTerminal iOS4″ and install it. this will install the beta version which is running perfectly on my iPod touch.

The other option is to connect remotely to your device via WiFi. To be able to do so, you’ll need to know the IP address your device got and just connect to it using your favorite ssh client (like PuTTY on Windows).

Have fun playing around with your jailbroken device!

What is the NX server?

The NX server and client application is developed by the Italian company NoMachine and provides a way to efficiently and securely access X-server based GUIs.

It compresses the X-server rendered screens and enables the client to access it via SSH. Thus making it possible to even access your remote linux server using an dial-up internet connection conveniently.

Is it expensive?

You can download and use the NX server and client for free. The free version is restricted to 2 concurrent client connections at the same time. If you need to set it up for more users you’d need to buy a license.

How do I get started?

If you use Ubuntu or Debian, you need to download the nxserver, nxnode and nxclient DEB packages and install them.

Download all 3 deb packages which suite your distribution (x86 or x64 packages are available) to your server from here:

http://www.nomachine.com/download.php

Now first install the nxclient package and then the nxnode and last but not least the nxserver. Make sure to meet the dependencies.

The packages get installed in the directory: /usr/NX/

After you installed all three packages you just have to start the nxserver by typing:

 sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --start

Basically you’re done now! That was easy, right?

Now it’s time to install the nxclient on your client machine and set up the connection using the wizard which appears when you start the client for the first time.

If you have any questions regarding further settings just comment on this post!

What is VLC?

VLC is a free, multi-format and open source media player application written by the VideoLAN project.

But playing your favorite movie or audio files is not the only thing it can do. It is also able to encode and stream audio or video content.

The other nice fact is, that it is running under a multitude of operating systems like Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS and BSD.

What types of streams can I record with it?

With VLC you can easily record MMS, WMF and ASF streams.

Tell me how already!

To record a stream you first need to get the streaming URL. You can mostly do that be right-clicking the video picture and selecting “Properties…”:

Look at the “Location” info on the Properties dialog:

Mark and copy the link by pressing CTRL+C and start up VLC. Now go to Media -> Convert/Save… click on the Network tab and paste the URL you copied from the stream earlier into the text box. It should look like this:

The next thing you have to do is to click on Convert / Save and you will see this dialog:

First, enter the file name of the destination file including the extension, e.g. NasaTV.asf
Tick the “Display the output” check box to see how the stream looks like while you’re recording. Then you select the Profile, which defines how the file format will be recorded as and click “Start”. I usually use “Video – WMV + WMA (ASF)”.

Now you will have to be patient, because it can take up to 1 minute, depending on your internet connection, for VLC to start displaying and recording the stream. When you think you have recorded enough, just click on the stop button to close the file you’re currently recording into.

You can download the VLC player on the official website.

Average users…

Most of the people nowadays turn on their computers and just start to browse the Internet to read news, update their Facebook status or check their emails. They don’t really care about how things work. But then, someday, they run into a problem. Some application doesn’t start anymore or suddenly something looks different and they start to panic.

Due to the fact that an average computer user doesn’t know and maybe doesn’t want to bother with the basic structures behind applications or even an operating system they often seek help from expensive IT experts who charge a lot of money for a simple task or just a quick change of some rogue setting.

People are not aware that there are nice remote assistant tools available for free. I know that, because I use those tools almost daily to support customers at my daytime job and after I log in on their computers I often hear things like: “Oh my mouse is moving! This is so weird!”. The first few times I seriously had to suppress one or the other giggle, but then I realized that more people should be aware of those tools. So here’s a quick overview of the most common tools.

VNC – the classic remote support tool

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is one of the oldest remote support tools around. It’s available for a lot of platforms and consists of a server application and a client (or “viewer”). Many companys’ IT people install the VNC server on their clients to be able to quickly check what’s going wrong at a user’s computer without the need of running through the whole building to see that the user just needs to tick a certain check box in some application.

The downside of VNC is that it is relatively slow and it is not using encryption by default. So the main usage field is on a local network.

If you want to read more about VNC take a look at the official homepage.

TeamViewer – free for private use, encrypted and easy to use

TeamViewer is a bit different. Basically you download the software from the TeamViewer website, install or just run it and you’re good to help out your buddy or family member to solve that annoying computer issue they might have.

The person you want to connect to needs to give you a 12-digit ID number and a 4 digit password which his or her TeamViewer application is displaying. Then, after he or she allows you to take over his desktop, you’re good to go.

TeamViewer supports Windows, Linux and OS X operating systems and even works on the iPhone or iPad.

However please note that if you want to use it professionally you will have to get a license.

Find out more about or try TeamViewer on the official website.

You need to make tutorial videos to teach your new colleagues how to work with a certain application. Now you could create training documents and have some long or boring training session to teach them stuff they often don’t get after the training anyways.

The other option would be to just record step-by-step tutorials of your application. Your new colleagues would just copy over some training videos and watch them to see how to use that new software right.

The solution

Exactly for this reason, and probably because of my lazyness, I found a very nice free application called “Wink” coded by Debugmode.

Here’s the description from the official Wink website:

That sounds great, right? It is! You can just download it, install it (Windows or Linux with GTK 2.4 or higher) and create great looking flash videos of how you perform a certain action you want to show to your friends or colleagues. The tool itself has a pretty straight forward user interface which allows you to create a professional looking tutorial video. Either you capture your whole screen, a predefined area or a custom area of your screen.

But you can do much more than just record your desktop. You can add a voice recording to your video, add text comments, draw shapes, add weblinks links, etc. This tool is really advanced when it comes down to features. Also, editing your recording frame by frame can by done easily.

You can download this piece of software goodness by clicking on the Wink logo:

I really hope you’ll enjoy this tool as much as I did

My first BlackBerry phone

To start off, this is the first BlackBerry phone I ever owned. My girlfriend bought a used Curve 8900 for me and I didn’t know what to expect from it.

I got it and was immediately very pleased with its looks. It is not too chunky and the hardware keyboard is also pretty nice to write SMS. So far so good.

At this point I wasn’t aware that a BlackBerry device is pretty useless without having a BlackBerry data plan. The only things I could do with it was calling people, writing and receiving SMS messages and taking photos. I wasn’t very excited anymore because I could do the exact same things with my old Nokia phone.

There has to be a way…

So I started to do some research.
The problem is that the complete management of network related communications on BlackBerry devices is usually done by the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). As I don’t have a BlackBerry contract I needed to find another solution.

1. Plain GPRS internet access

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that applications can access the internet via GPRS (can’t help with 3G as the Curve 8900 doesn’t have 3G!). To be able to do so you first have to configure the APN settings. You can find them via Options -> Advanced Options -> TCP/IP. Enter the APN name and if needed the user name and password for the APN. You can get the settings by searching Google.

If the APN has been configured correctly you’ll see “gprs” in small letters in the upper right corner of the device’s display.

So far so good. Now the unit is able to communicate with the APN but by default the unit tries to route all traffic via the BIS service of your mobile provider. This is the time where you need to do some stuff to your “Service Book”.

You can access the Service Book list via Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Book.

Go to this website and follow the instructions update your Service Book:

http://bb.anworm.com/enable-blackberry-browser-without-bisbes-2/

After you have done this your BlackBerry webbrowser will work via GPRS and WiFi!

2. Browsing the web

The built-in BlackBerry browser is ok but it tends to be very slow and sometimes it won’t load a certain website at all. So the solution for that is to download and get Opera Mini. It’s nice to use, pretty fast even via GPRS and free.

You can download Opera Mini via this address:

http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/blackberry/

3. Using Twitter

Unfortunately the original Twitter client is strictly bound to the BIS. So there’s no way to use it (correct me if I’m wrong!).

I’m using the free Twitter client “Seesmic”. It supports posting pictures to TwitPic, location data and you can shorten URLs. Basically that’s everything I expect from a Twitter client.

To download and install it, point your BlackBerry webbrowser to www.seesmic.com (I don’t think it works with Opera Mini but I’m not sure…).

4. Facebook?

The newest Facebook application for BlackBerry devices is also restricted to only work with BIS. In my opinion the only reason to use the Facebook application is to be able to post pictures. For just status updates and so on, you can simply access the Facebook site via Opera Mini.

If you really want to use the Facebook app, you need to find the version 1.6. The best way to get it is via searching the forum on Crackberry.com

5. Email and PIM syncing

Now the last and probably most important part.

As there’s no hack to be able to use the built-in email application (btw, the instant messanger doesn’t work as well without BIS!) you need to use Funambol. Funambol is a open source synchronisation server which allows you to sync your contacts, get push email from IMAP or POP3 servers and other PIM related objects like notes, tasks, etc.

The quickest way to get started is to create a free account on my.funambol.com. Be aware that the account is only active for 90 days. You can only extend the period by contributing on the Funambol project. The other possibility is to setup an own Funambol server but the how to for that will be an article on its own.
