serial driver for Ipevo’s S0-20 also available for 64bit Windows SOON! Unlike other Skype phones you soon no longer need a 32bit Windows XP/Vista/7 for keeping your phone’s firmware current!

This solution has been provided by one of Ipevo’s customers and they are working now on improving it and so making it available for all customers!

More info about this can be found here in Ipevo’s Blog!.

Let’s hope they soon fix the Skype port setting issue!

Since Windows 7 is out and I own and use it, there is one that disturbed me right away: The Windows XP / Vista QuickLaunch is missing in Windows 7! Sure you can restore it, but it will disappear randomly again! (Which is a bug in Windows 7 according to Microsoft Technet.).

So there is another solution, a freeware one named “JumpLaunch” at this page, just the tiny problem, that it doesn’t work if you have Crap Cleaner installed or other programs as seen on the Forum Thread: Clicking shortcuts does nothing.

There are tons of tools that cost money and other tons of freeware tools that allow you all kind of fancy modifications and real resource hooks! Then I found True Launch Bar which I installed and it just opened as a tiny window in my Windows 7 X64. But then I found there is also a a beta version which is also working in Windows 7 X86 and X64 and is integrating seamlessly into the taskbar just like the good old Quick Launch of Windows XP and Windows Vista and it really works! – Bug free! Thank you, guys 🙂

So we all know, eventhough Facebook is impressing us with a new layout lately but chatting with it I mean with the instant messaging thingie, it ofteh breaks, is laggy, delayed or it just disconnects you. also you always have to have your browser window openand focussed.

Well, there were clients for facebook chat , but they all died or were bad or hat no history saving possibility.

This has changed a while ago, now there is Chit Chat for Facebook which has all the functionality you always wanted:

A proper contact list, message history saving, multiple tabs in one window, online staus detection.

Only disadvantage yet is that you have to be online on the facebook homepage’s chat (after you went online you can close the page again).

It can be downloaded here, project leader is Daniel Offer who is a nice guy always willing to help and listen to its users 🙂

as some of you probably already know Apple changed their TOS rules for application developers, means they are now allow to route voip calls over the iphone’s internet connection also over 3G and EDGE.

Skype announced they are now in the process of developing a version that supports Skype calls over 3G: http://voiceontheweb.biz/2010/02/coming-real-soon-now-skype-for-iphone-over-3g/
However fring has been faster and now supports it, too: http://www.fring.com/blog/?p=1983

UPDATE: meanwhile Xerox updated the promised Windows 7 32bit and 64bit drivers and are available for download from driver downloads

So since my old printer died (I have put it on sale including new ink carts! sale is on ebay, here.), I have decided to get a new one, and the new one is a Installing Xerox Phaser 6110 N as a friend suggested it to me.

Just one small problem: Windows 7 drivers are not available according to the database they are supposed to be released Q1 / 2010 but I question this since they recently decided to stop selling the printer!

And contact email support is a waste as they will send you no email back, and if you ask for a reply you get the answer “call our support hotline”.

Installing it on Windows 7 64bit was no problem as just running the setup prg in compatibility mode for Vista worked but when I wanted to install it on my Aspire One netbook this trick didn’t work for Windows 7 32bit! Unfortunately it’s still detecting that it isn’t Vista and denies installing! And the driver I downloaded had no inf file for installing manually. I have found out that on various places of Xerox’s hoempage you get the same driver versions but some packages contain the necessary files for installing the driver manually!

(Yes, network compatible!)

So if you are having the problem feel free to email me and I will send the file.

ICQ 7 is out and it doesn’t look like being some kind of beta ! So for the first time since I am using ICQ; there is no public alpha/beta test this time, it seems.

It can be downloaded from ICQ’s public hp at http://icq.com/download.

It installs itself in a separated folder rather than doing and upgrade installation.

To import your complete message history from ICQ 6.5, you have to do it this way: Menu –> Contacts –> Message history. you can also import contacts separately by contact if you want within the contact’s message view.

Also you should check the prefered key for sending off messages in the settings as the good old ALT S doesn’t work anymore! (A SHAME!!! 🙁 ).

You can see from the screenshot, ICQ Lifstream is included now (THe echo button on the top of the contact list), the notification system is back (now a red flagged box called “My Box”.

The ICQ Webcam message is now “ICQ Zones” as a little ‘Z’ icon on the right, same with the Xtraz came center being located above!

Things I don’t like is, that the contact list appears to be wider now and I still see no settings for webcam and audio devices.

It also has problems with ICQ clones as it cannot read umlauts from them, seems ICQ changed something in the protocol this time regarding unicode.

Maybe they will more be comming because as we know it, since 2003b they were able to remotely enable / disable functions and add/remove buttons from the GUI.

They also put a video showing all the new features here:

I finally found out how to get the ICQ Status Indicator to run in Facebook! So here is how:

The key is to know that the ICQ online status application in the Facebook application catalog is just like a dummy or placeholder. The application itself can be found here: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/icq-online-status

You have to enter your ICQ number in the field on the right and then you connect Widgetbox with your Facebook account and then install the ICQ online status widget into your widgetbox. Then you can use the “status check link” posted onto your facebook wall to put it into your facebook profile, e.g. by using the application “Extended Info” from http://apps.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2374336051.

Hope this helps! 🙂
