No not an act of terrorism, just a controlled bang.
Nokia 6310i and GPRS
Great phone, though old now. But tried GPRS tonight and it’s really slow. 7 minutes to open the admin section of the blog.
Fuck knows what Virgin will charge me for that. I wonder if 3G modems have got better? I know 3 were giving them away free last month, but the last time I looked at 3 I was told that the highspeed didn’t work in my postcode.
Sod and bollocks.

The web is sometimes full of shite, to add to this……..
Teh new macmini. Totally made up edition.
Tethered 5D issues. aka ‘Leopard Canon Issues’
So, welcome to 2nd November 2007 when I first discovered that my newly installed Leopard had an issue with my 5D’s. Basically the problem was when I connected the 5D, click on Start to Download. I get a message ‘Camera is busy and cannot communicate. Clear if camera’s LCD monitor is displayed.’
So after a number of reinstalls of the lovely Canon Eos software I discovered an easy fix.
- Turn on the camera and preview any image on the rear screen.
- Fire up Eos Utility manually – you might want to kill off some of the canon software. Though an automated startup might work if you’re quick enough!
- Clear the previewed image on the LCD on the camera, click to download and it works
This also works for tethered mode. It seems to only effect the Eos 5D and Leopard (on both updates and new installs).
I initially posted these findings on the Chris Marshall Blog. Although the blog didn’t help It provided a resource for the fix to be found in the future.
Thought I’d post it here mainly as a self pimpage! Shameful I know.
