The TRIP is the mental projection of my digital self. Including all areas of digital work I have been involved with, including Music, video, photography...
All good web pages must have the collection of absolutely useless pictures. Designed for no purpose other than to consume kilobits. And hopefully show off some of my Photographic skills. Web design skills, and uses one php script to drive the whole index. Also see the Photography section of the Silicontrip Website.
The Creative section of the TRIP is my imagination trying to run free. I have a fascination with sexual, spiritual and meta physical abilities, and these stories show it.
Part of the images directory contains some of my digital artwork. These images have been created or enhanced by myself, with the help of the 1s and 0s machine.

I lost my phone while flying back from Sydney Yesterday. So I decided to purchase a Blackberry. Of course I'm waiting for my Sim to be sent out by mail and so decided to get a pre-paid sim.
Vodafone's system was down so I could not register and use their sim. After some bitching to them, I went to optus and purchased a pre-paid sim there.
I was unable to download any IM software for the blackberry, the main reason I purchased it, because Blackberries site only supports IE and Active X. I'm currently on support email with them trying to find a workaround. They suggested downloading IE Tab for firefox, which I immediately knew wouldn't work. Oh and look IE Tab is only for Windows.
The software that comes with the blackberry for the mac is fairly hideous. Firstly it REQUIRED all other applications to be shut down. And then it would not see my Blackberry until I rebooted. I expect these sort of behaviours from Windows or Pre 10 Macos and in the early days of OSX this was a little more common. But not after 7 years of OSX development, do I think that
I have no idea why it wanted to shut down every other application, but it
wouldn't continue until after that was the case. As for rebooting, have the
developers not heard of the command kextload?
I have see a program called the missing sync for mac, though it costs 40 USD.
I'm starting to find that the blackberry is simply a new market for commercial developers and network carriers to cash in on, I'm not happy with this.
Trying to find out install software on the blackberry was also a little painful, most resources on the web deals with windows which uses very different software. It appears that there is a bug in the Pocketmac, which it doesn't handle multiple "cod" files. A cod file is just a zip file and comes with an xml file (alx) which describes the .cod needed to run. cods can be hierachical, meaning two cods can live inside one, the alx file describes both of these cod files, so that the blackberry knows what to run. However the Pocket mac software expects all the cod files to be in the same directory as the alx and not within the 'composite' cod file. Sorry for the poor explanation, but I'm still just learning.
I have installed and run some Trial IM applications, but they will expire within a week, so I'd really like to get some free ones before I'm satisfied. Apart from them expiring, they seem reasonable. Where's my GNU?
One of blackberries solution to needing IE, was to use the Blackberries in built browser, however I'm having problems with that too. It won't start saying "No Browser Configuration Service Book Entries" please contact your carrier. Of course Simplus, say "we don't support blackberry, go away" Optus say "you shouldn't be able to do what you are doing on the blackberry without a special blackberry plan, and because you're with a reseller we can't help you, go away" Blackberry are saying "It shouldn't work without a special blackberry plan, go speak to your carrier" Looks like I made the mistake of assume the blackberry works like every other phone that can run java midlets, apart from the push email system that I'm not overly interested in. But it sounds like all the carriers and blackberry themselves are saying, you require an MDS service (whatever that is exactly) to use anything at all. As opposed to using TCP over GPRS. I'm starting to think about selling it...
