I hope it's not crushingly dull. I mean if you love the internet and radically changing business models and the many laughable errors that are teh nature of trying to run a business then you might enjoy a post now and again.

I'm so sorry if right now you're in a worse frame of mind after having suffered through my muddled thoughts, questionable grammar and imaginative spelling. Thanks.

]]> From the site Androgeek on how to install a new Android theme:

“Instructions for Installing Themes on Your Android

1. Rename the theme to update.zip

  • Themes usually come in .zip format with a title. It is important to change file name to update.zip. You will need to right click file, and then right click again to rename.
  • If you have multiple themes that you want to download, just download them to a separate folder and remember to follow the instructions and download them to the SD card and then rename with update.zip.

2. To the root of your SD card, copy update.zip.

  • You need to copy update.zip to the root of your SD card and not to a folder but directly on the letter drive.

3. Reboot the phone in recovery mode…”

It goes on for another thousand words and seven or so more steps.

If you have to tell your users to rename, unpack, reboot…IN RECOVERY MODE, then we’re a little too close to Windows ’95. These days I expect my computers to do all that geekery for me. If they can’t then their UI is just not quite up to par.
