N800 OS2008 Update-2

New Update for OS2008 Diablo is 36-5 (the last update was 30-2).
I just updated the OS this morning.
After that, the dual boot does not work. :-(

I have to do inifs_flasher again, maybe...

See here:
internettablettalk.com

and here:
fanoush





How can I have both dual-boot and new OS version?
Um........





[updated] It is working now. This is how:
install update on SD --> boot on flash --> get new initfs_flash --> run initfs_flash --> boot to SD

In control panel - about product -- It shows "Version 4.2008.36-5".

Everything works fine.
Great!

[howto] Stain Removal

STAIN REMOVAL

Introduction

• Never use very hot water for washing stained garments as this often sets the stains and makes them very difficult or impossible to remove.
  
• Some stains are more easily removed by washing if they are soaked first in cold water, e.g. mud and blood stains, and the brown stain from shoe inner soles.
  
• The use of chemicals is required for removing certain stains. Carry out this treatment before washing. Remove all traces of the chemical.
  
• To apply a stain removing agent to fabric, place a fold of clean rag underneath the stain so that any surplus moisture is absorbed.
  
• To prevent a ring forming around the stain, work from the outside of the stain, in an uneven circular shape, towards the centre, dabbing it very lightly with a pad of clean rag which has been dipped in the removal agent.

STAIN REMOVAL CHART
BLOOD	Soak in cold salted water (1 teaspoonful to 1 pint) for at least an hour. Wash in warm soapy water.
COCOA/COFFEE/FRUIT JUICE	Sponge with a warm solution of borax and water. Rinse well and wash according to fabric.
COD-LIVER OIL	Use a grease solvent and wash in soapy water.
EGG: WHITE	Soak in cold water, then treat with lukewarm salt solution (1 teaspoon to 1 pint)
EGG: YOLK	Wash according to fabric and remove the greasy mark with a grease solvent.
GRASS	Dab with surgical methylated spirit over an absorbent pad. Wash according to fabric. TEST RAYON BEFORE TREATMENT.
GREASE	(1) Use a grease solvent, i.e. benzene or carbon tetrachloride. (2) A surface grease may be removed by putting the fabric between blotting paper and pressing with a hot iron.
INK (BALL-POINT)	Dab with methylated spirit over an absorbent pad. Wash according to fabric.
INK (WRITING)	Wash at once. On white fabric, steep in milk, on any other colour fabric cover the stain with tomato juice. Wash again.
IRON RUST	Soak stain in lemon juice. Rinse and wash.
LIPSTICK	Wash in warm soapy water. Apply grease solvent, if necessary.
MILK	Wash in warm soapy water, rinse well. Then treat with a grease solvent.
MUD	Allow to dry. Brush. Soak in cold water. Wash according to fabric.
NAIL VARNISH	Rub gently with acetone (not suitable for rayon).
PERSPIRATION	Sponge with a weak vinegar solution. Wash according to fabric.
PAINT	Rub with turpentine.
SCORCH	Slight scorch marks may be treated with a solution of borax and water. Rinse and wash according to fabric.
SHOE POLISH	Sponge with turpentine and wash according to fabric. If any colour remains sponge with methylated spirit and wash again. TEST RAYON BEFORE TREATMENT.
TAR	Scrape off as much as possible and then treat with a grease solvent. Wash according to fabric.
TEA	Rinse immediately with cold water and wash according to fabric. For dried stain, damp with cold water and sprinkle with borax. Pour hot water through the stain. Rinse well and wash according to fabric.
TRANSFER	Steep in surgical methylated spirit. Try a commerical dry-cleaning agent. Wash after treatment if possible.

[Hardware] Remote Sensor

Remote Sensor + USB interface

RemoteSensor

RemoteSensor is a more advanced example for using Objective Development's firmware-only USB driver for Atmel's AVR microcontrollers (AVR-USB).

RemoteSensor is a wireless thermo- and hygrometer with an USB port on the receiver. You can draw fancy diagrams of temperature and humidity for up to 16 wireless sensors.

RemoteSensor is a more advanced example because it utilizes an interrupt endpoint to indicate to the host when new data arrived, demonstrating how AVR-USB handles a second endpoint. The receiver part is basically a serial to USB converter with special processing for the wireless protocol such as data integrity checks and data block buffering.

[howto] Copy Excel Subtotal Data

From MrExcel.com

Use the Goto - Special command to copy just the subtotals to a new area.

You can use the Data - Subtotals command to automatically subtotal a range of data as shown above left. After creating subtotals, Excel will show the outline symbols to the left of your worksheet. By clicking the "2" outline symbol, Excel will display only the subtotal lines. This is really cool, but many people have trouble when they try to copy this information to a new worksheet. It looks like there are just five rows of data, but when you copy and paste elsewhere, you will find that Excel copied the hidden rows as well.

The solution lies in the obscure but powerful GoTo Special functions. Here are the steps:

• Highlight the range you want to copy.
• Click on Edit, then Goto.
• On the right side of the Go To dialog is a button marked "Special". Click "Special" to see the Go To Special dialog box.
• Click the button for "Visible Cells Only" and click OK. This changes the selection from all 14 rows to just the five visible rows.
• Now that you have just the 5 visible rows selected, you can do Edit - Copy (or Ctrl-c), click in a new cell in a blank range of spreadsheet, and Edit - Paste (Ctrl-V) to paste just the subtotals.
