More a shopping mall

23. Februar 2010 Dagobert Keine Kommentare

Hm, when walking through Sydney airport to the gates the area more looks like a Shopping Center than an airport. I never understood the thing about Duty free. But well… 26 aud for 1 Liter Captain Morgan Black with 57% is probably not too bad, is it?

Here are some pictures of the smaller area.

Flying

22. Februar 2010 Dagobert Keine Kommentare

I just looked at the online check-in and wanted to choose seats. Then I realized – why not bothering google to find out which seats are actually the best. Well, not that I would have too much choice.

I found a nice website where all airlines and planes are listed – and of cause their seating plan with recommendations.

Maybe some of you might like to have a look sometimes.

puke on iTunes, iPhone and Apple

13. Februar 2010 Dagobert 2 Kommentare

I hate Apple and their crappy Hardware / Software.

Last week I ran into the following problem and took me hours of research, tears and annoyence before I finally – probably – found the solution. But let me explain what happend so maybe some others of you out there find fast help. I was already almost as far of buying a new iPhone. “Why again?” you might ask… Well, this is just born out of no time to find a new one.

But now to the story:

Last week I was updateing my Phone to the software version 3.1.3. With this there came the new iTunes version 9.x. Later these days I wonderes why my phone was not connection to wifi any more – not at home and not at work. I tried a lot of things:

  • Forget the access point
  • Reset the network settings
  • and some other weird things.

Later I found out that I can still connect to unencrypted networks but not to WPA networks. That was very strange.
During my search for a solution nothing really helped and so I heavy hearded reseted my phone. Guess what happened: nothing! It still did not work before restoring the backup and not after doing that. I tried this over and over again in the wildest combinations.
My last try was to downgrade to 3.1.2 and hope that the problem was caused by this. Ha… I was not.

But I encountered another problem after the first reset which was making me very angry: All my apps weren’t there any more and since I did not have wifi and not 3G flat-rate, I tryed to install them through iTunes. And again you can guess what happened: nothing!
Well, that is not entirely true, because it was even worse. The Error said that I need to activate my computer. But it was already activated and deactivating and aktivating did not help at all!

So what to do besides almost throwing the device out of the window?

I don’t remember how I was getting to the page which linked to the solution but I want to share it with you.
What I had to do was starting iTunes as Administrator and activate the computer as Administrator.

Thoughts: I think what happend was the following…

I updated to Windows 7 around christmas time. After that everything worked fine. But since I was always loading the apps trough the iPhone itself I can’t tell everything for sure. Later after upgrading iTunes and the iPhone – others need to figure out which software was released first – the wifi did not work any more. All apps were still working.
After resetting the whole iPhone iTunes did not recognized the apps any more (because the computer was magically not activated any more – even though it said different).

For me the question which is still open and not understandable: Why is Apple cripling the wifi with encryption? And why does iTunes does not tell in a dialog that since you are not an Administrator you can’t activate the computer.

It leaves me with much headache and a lot of lost time. Too bad Apple… I hate you!

I know better now: Life saving

28. Januar 2010 Dagobert Keine Kommentare

Here are some tips for life saving and “What to do if…” My source is the German Television Show Quarks & Co which is aired at the WDR.

What to to if someone’s heart stopped?

  • Talk to the person on the ground to see if he/she reacts.
  • If not, put one hand on the chest to feel if the heart is beating and your ear close to the nose and mouth to listen if he/she is breathing.
  • Call the rescue number!
  • If not, the reviving part has to be done. And How to do that?
    • Undress the chest wide to really have nothing disturbing the revive.
    • Get very close to the body
    • and place the heel of your hand on the lower one-third of the breastbone
    • With a beat of 100 beats per minute push it down 30 times. You need to do it with a lot of weight but not too much.
    • Pull the head back and a little into the neck to free the lung pipe.
    • Than do mouth to mouth or mouth to nose with deep breaths twice. Be sure to close nose / mouth so you really blow the air into the persons lungs.
    • Start over with the 30 pushes.
  • Do NOT stop doing this until the ambulance arrives!
  • While pushing down the breastbone you might break a rib. No worries, it will grow together again.
  • If you don’t like to do mouth to mouth you can skip this part and just do the pushes. It is better than nothing at all.

If you help this person like described he/she has the chance of more than 30% of surviving instead of just 3%.

What to do on heavy burnings?

Take hand warm water and pour it over the wound.

What to do if someone has a blackout (eg. while doing sports)?

Put him into recover position.

How to stop a heavy bleeding wound?

Do NOT bind the body part. It might lead to thrombosis.
If possible lift up the body part and do a pressure bandage.

What to do if someone breaks the leg?

Put the the person into a comfortable position and cool the leg. The rescue team can do everything else better than you.

Are you allowed to take of the helmet of a injured motorbike driver?

If the person has no visible injuries on the head you need to take of the helmet very carefully. It is more likely that the person would choke on his vomit (Erbrochenem).

Gor viii – london bridge

3. Januar 2010 Dagobert Keine Kommentare

to complete the sighting tour there is the so called London bridge which collapsed a couple of years ago. it is the part at the left of the picture where there is now a gap instead of a bridgelike thing. I wonder how many years we have to wait till all these attractions are as good as gone.
