I sync my iPhone both on the work laptop and on the PC at home. At home I have all my music and podcast subscriptions while on the work laptop I have my calendar and a huge address book. Though since 2.0 the iPhone backups all files and this has started to take really long time. Since I only sync the calendar and the address book with the work laptop there is no real need to make a backup there as well. But there is not option in iTunes…
This article explains a very simple method on how to turn it off which worked for me.

Download the latest version of WordPress Automatic Upgrade into your wp-content/plugins directory.
Unzip it:
unzip wordpress-automatic-upgrade.1.2.2.zip
You could try to go to the Plugin page of your WordPress Admin login and start the Automatic upgrade but for me it failed until I changed the file permissions. Go to your wordpress install directory and do:
chmod -R 777 *
Then I started it and gave it the FTP permissions but once more it fails to create some files in wpau-backup. I did:
touch index.php
touch index.html
chmod 777 *
Then I coudl go on to the next step but once more it fails, now to write the backup file. I get:
Task Name: files
Task Description: Backs up all the current files from the wordpress installation
Task Status: Failed
Task Start Date: 2008-08-31 19:38:49
Task End Date: 2008-08-31 19:38:49
Task Log:
Creating files backup archive at wpau-files-bak-zcvmydci.zip
.
.
.
Could not archive the files PCLZIP_ERR_READ_OPEN_FAIL (-2) : Unable to open archive '/web/htmldocs/www/orbblog//wpau-backup/wpau-files-bak-zcvmydci.zip' in wb mode
Go back to the plugin section of the Admin interface and the click “Click Here to Automatically Upgrade WordPress to latest Version.” at the top to start over again. The plugin claims that “Seems you have not completed the clean up process from last upgrade. Please click here to run the clean up process before continuing”. Go on and clean up. Then just follow the steps as they come and all should work just fine.
Once all is done you want to revert file permission, so do:
chmod -R 644 *
find . -type d -exec chmod uog+x {} \;
Done!

If you do not know which version of the drive chip you have or if the pins are cut or not, use WiiTracker to get a good estimate. For my Wii its correct. I have GC2-D2B with pins still intact.

Har funderat en hel del på om jag skall köpa en telezoom och Canons 70-200 linser har fått väldigt fina betyg, speciellt 4.0 linserna. Helst skulle jag vilja ha med bildstabilisering men det är rätt mycket dyrare. Tittade dock på fotosidan och på blocket och det finns rätt gott om just 70-200/4L linser, och några få med bild stabilisering. Man verkar kunna köpa de utan stabilisering från ca 4000 kr.
Så för jämförelse skull tittade jag på priserna på B&H photo and video i New York. De tar ca 560 dollar för 70-200/4l linsen. Så vad blir det här hemma i Sverige? Jo upptäckte att Tullverket har en trevlig kalkylator som hjälper dig att räkna ut kostnaden. Enda luriga var att hitta tullavgiften för kameraobjektiv. Tullens varukod för kameraobjektiv är 9002 och denna kategori var sedan uppdelad i flera beroende på brännvidd men alla har en tullsats på 6.7% vad jag kunde se. Så att importera en 70-200/4L skulle kosta ca 5100 kr vilket är bra mycket billigare än tex Cyberphotos 7000 kr. Importpriset för en med bildstabilisering blir ca 9100 kr. Ny pris i sverige lite över 11 000 kr.
