There has been alot of talk about the calibration problems on the zt-180 and everyone seems to be giving different results. I’d like to compare different units and firmware to see exactly what the problem is. There are 2 apps you can load to test your screen calibration, MultiTouch Visualizer 2 & Multitouch Visible Test.
As you can see below, both of the apps give the same result on mine. I’m currently running 0818 w/ RPMScript.
At this point there is no way to calibrate the screen so I highly recommend using a stylus until this issue is resolved.
Update: I have found a HTC Calibration app. It installs and allows you to calibrate but it’s hard to say if there is any improvement. Some users recommend calibrating with a USB mouse. Try it out for yourself and post your findings! Download HTC Calibrate

There are a lot of people who are unfamiliar with Android and the SDK so I thought I would show you the easy way to gain root access and apply the txpower fix. If you don’t already know, the txpower fix changes the txpower value from 100 to 20 which gives you better wifi performance plus helps with temperature problems. It should also slightly increase battery life.

Recently I made the switch from Apache (an open-source HTTP server) to IIS (Internet Information Services) which is Microsoft’s own web server. I know it sounds like a strange move seeing as Apache is the industry leader in terms of webservers but I did this because I figure if I’m going to be studying for my MCSE then I should at least be playing around with IIS and learning it back to front. The other reason I changed is so I could have Exchange OWA working properly.
The changeover was relitively easy. The MySQL database required no changes so most of the work came down to configuration of the multiple domains and SSL setup. In Apache when you want to run multiple websites on the same machine you use a module called virtual host. To achieve this in IIS you use a setting called host headers, both of which are very simple to set up. Other settings that needed to be configured included the default content page (this being *.php opposed to index.htm or index.asp), document_root in PHP.ini and basic security permissions.

For 2 days now I have been trying to get “pretty” permalinks working in WordPress and all it has resulted in is the dreaded 404 Page Not Found. The reason im writing about this is in hope that it helps others who are pulling their hair out when trying to get this to work. The whole idea of this was to change the default “ugly” links (http://example.com/?p=N) to something alot nicer and more search engine friendly (eg. http://example.com/category/post-name/). This was supposed to be a painless process but for some reason it just would not work!
Well.. after a couple of days scouring countless blogs, checking file permissions, modules, .conf files, I finally got it running. First of all I had to check that apache was loading the mod_rewrite module. To do this you need to edit /conf/httpd.conf in your apache dir and remove the # in front of LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. Secondly you need to ensure that .htaccess (in your wordpress dir) has the correct permissions so that WP can write to it (chmod 666 – remember to change this back to 644 when done).
