Media Players Gone Mad!

Been able to grab a hold of the Lost Season 2 pilot. [I've had it for close to a week]
--
I haven't been able to watch it though Windows Media Player can't seem to find the right codecs for it! Well because I'm such an airhead I didn't even try playing it with other media players. Currently I have Windows Media Player 10, QuickTime Pro 7, Real Player 10, and VLC Media Player on my notebook.

Surprise surprise QT hanged when I tried opening the avi, RP gave a glimmer of hope [ah just like WMP trying to download the codecs] saying it needed additional files for it to play the file, I click OK a few seconds of searching and it presents me with an error message: "There are no updates for this...blah blah..."
--
Alas it's VLC Media Player to the rescue!!! Wooohooo! Really glad Chi installed this on my notebook. So far I've played DVDs, Final Fantasy 7: AC with subtitles [avi], and now I can watch Lost's season 2 pilot! Kewl! Really useful application... I bow to Chi Chi Bhoy [Macho Man and Computer Expert Extraordinaire]. Salamat Men :o)

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
