I Dropped My Cell Phone In Water - Try This
Posted by Administrator on Jul 25, 2008
The other day I dropped my cell phone in some water for the first time ever in my life. I have a fairly new Blackberry phone and was certain that the phone would be dead. My daughter offered a solution that sounded crazy. She told me to put my cell phone in a bag of rice over night.
Apparently, the rice will absorb any moisture in the phone. With a deductible of $110 I was willing to give it a shot.
I left the phone in the bag of dry rice (not cooked) for about 24 hours along with the battery. I slowly took the phone out, shook out all of the rice and slowly put the battery back into the phone. And it worked!!! The phone booted initialized, and I didn’t loose any data. I made some phone calls and it worked fine.
The down side is that I talked with my brother, a Sprint sales engineer. He informed me that once the phone circuits get wet it’s only a matter of time before corrosion sets in. So, I’ve started the clock, I’ll see how long my phone lasts and will post back here with the long or short term results.
So, if you’ve dropped your $300 + smart phone into some water, try a bag of rice for 24 hours or so. It just might work for you as it did for me.

VIP Realty - On the Move
Posted by rsoto on Jul 23, 2008
VIP Realty is a Dallas based real estate company, that is expanding into the San Antonio real estate and Houston real estate markets. The so-called downturn in the economy and housing sector has not detoured VIP Realty from agreesively going into other real estate markets.
Much of the local Dallas companies success has to do with the ability to recruit and retain some of the best agents in the North Texas area. VIP Realty agents pride themselves in working extremely hard and getting the best deal possbible for thier clients. The fact that we are also in one of the best real estate markets, can’t hurt either.
Sometimes we have to remind clients that we are not in, California, Florida or Arizona, this is Texas :).

HPEventHandler - Shame On Hewlitt Packard
Posted by Administrator on Jul 16, 2008
Yesterday I received a software update notification for my MAC and my HP Printer. After installing updates and restarting my MAC my CPU processing shot up to 80-95% with only my browser open. After looking at my CPU processing, the HPEventHandler was utilizing 80-90% of my CPU.
After doing a few minutes of research I decided to uninstall my HP Printer. I restarted my MAC and now my processing has returned to its normal levels.
Shame on HP. My printer will be going up for sale on eBay or I’ll just let it collect dust. Why on earth does a single application for a printer need to utilize so much processing. Also, it was not just for a short duration. The HPEventHandler continued to eat up my CPU’s for no reason at all. My printer was not even attached at the time.
HP, just lost a customer and any other printer company that feels they need to kill my Pentium Duo core processor to monitor my ink levels or whatever else they feel they need to monitor.
Have you had any bad experiences or know why HPEventHandler is so processor intensive? Share your experiences with our readers.
