BlackBerry screen capture December 11, 2008

Posted by Kristin Lynch in : technology , add a comment

website_mofuseI just found a cool little tool for the BlackBerry that allows you to take screenshots of your BlackBerry screen.

I’m working with my friend Rachel on her blog and wanted to show her how my blog now appears on mobile devices through Mofuse.

BBScreen is an executable file (*.EXE) that  just runs a batch file process. Of course you could just run these commands from a prompt – this just makes the job a little faster. The link I’ve provided just sends you to a Google results page; every download location – albeit several – required I register on their forums.  So if you’re already registered on BlackBerry Forums or BlackBerry Cool or Pinstack.com, you should probably search for it there.

In the process of searching for the software, I came across a Flickr group where people are sending their BlackBerry screenshots.

I’ll write more about Mofuse in my next post.

First ‘thundersnow’ of the season November 23, 2008

Posted by Kristin Lynch in : technology , add a comment

Over the past few days, we’ve had our first significant snow storm of the season. I don’t mind snow at all really, although I could do without the cold. The snow itself is really very pretty, especially when it covers the trees nicely.

Locally we learned about ‘thundersnow’ and that it’s indeed a real weather term.  According to Wikipedia, ‘Thundersnow also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thunder snowstorm is a rare thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It commonly falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of extratropical cyclones between autumn and spring when surface temperatures are most likely to be near or below freezing. Variations exist, such as thundersleet, where the precipitation consists of sleet rather than snow.’

Who knew?!

I’ve been using Google a lot more lately now that I upgraded to the newest version of Mobile Google for my BlackBerry. Now I can save documents I’ve saved in Google Docs right to my BlackBerry.
