Posted in: server |

I have a friend that installs server systems and has a lot of spare parts that businesses replace or upgrade. He gave me a truck load of stuff and said “here you go have fun”.

After looking at all the stuff he gave me I thought about what we could put together.  This is a list of what I have to work with.

In the next post I will show you what I was able to come up with. One thing is I want to try a Quake 3 server and FTP server to test my home internet upload and download speed. With 2 of the servers I might run my home network. Check back to see what useless monster we come up with.

Installing TomTom GPS navigation on AT&T Tilt 8925 HTC Kaiser TyTN 2

Posted in: Windows Mobile |

This video is showing how easy it is to install TomTom GPS Navigation software from the micro SD expansion slot. The phone is running Windows Mobile 6.1 with the AT&T default software uninstalled.

Turn the phone ON with out the micro SD card inside. Download the TomTom software on your micro SD card then put it into your windows mobile phone. Insert the micro SD card into your AT&T Tilt. The TomTom should start to install automatically. Next pick the settings, please watch the video to see the settings.

TomTom GPS navigation software is very easy to use and I use it all the time. I have had no problems, it all runs great and I would buy the software again.

GPS on your cell phone like the Tilt has is invaluable to me and is a must have.  You can try free maps from Google or Microsoft they work well to but I like the look of TomTom best.
