Update Your Nokia Phone Firmware Version with NSU (Nokia Software Updater)

Did you all know that you can update your nokia phones firmware version? Do you know how to check your firmware version? Do you know how to check your phone serial number beside looking under the battery port? Well, today i would like to share these knowledge.

When you buy Nokia phones, mostly for the high-end phones you will be supplied with a cd and a cable for Nokia PC Suite. You have to install that cd content first, your will see a phone icon beside your clock, right click and it will show a list of things you can do with the pc suite. Maybe only one menu isn't there that is 'Update Phone Software' so please click here to download.
1. Press *#0000# to know your phone software version.
2. Press *#06# to check your EMEI(phone serial number), this is a good way to know if you are buying 2nd-hand phones, is it the real phone or refurbish ones.
3.Please remember to backup your phone data & remove memory card password cuz thing can get nasty.

After you install the NSU (Nokia Software Update), you can start to connect your phone to see if any software update available for your phone model. Most of the phones are in the new market segment, i.e. the ME's (Music Edition), UMTS (3G). Before you start updating your phone software, better read the user manual because it can be risky. It happened to me once, i spend 8 hours to bring my phone back to life.
When NSU opened, it will welcome you and will ask you to connect your phone to the computer via the supplied cable i.e. dku2 or ca53 or others. Please read through the step by step on the application screen. I must remind you all to turn off temporarily your anti-virus and your firewall to make way to Nokia Sever to run a breeze way to upgrade your phone. During this time any interruption will effect your phones, so be careful. The process will take a minimum of 1 hour but can extend to longer hour due to the internet connection and phone model. Below are pictures to share the view with you all.

After it detects your phone model, it will let you know if there is any updates for your phone. This updates generates from your phone product code written in your phones. The phone product code is a seven digits, if Nokia Server detects that your product code have no updates the process will stop there.

But this happened to you please refer to the nearest Nokia Service Centre. Good luck, have a nice try.
P/S: You also can check first whether your phone have update just by click here. It will be less risky.

Happy birthday to me and welcome to my new friend, 'Gastric'.

Well, i turned 30 yesterday, and late evening i went to the hospital to my stomach/chest pain then i found out i got a new friend, named Gastric. well here's some of its background taken from Wikipedia, I think it is my habit of eating without appropriate time serves me well now. My advice to you all, eat properly with appropriate timing.

In anatomy, the stomach is a bean-shaped hollow muscular organ of the gastrointestinal tract involved in the second phase of digestion, following mastication. The word stomach is derived from the Latin stomachus, which derives from the Greek word stomachos (στόμαχος). The words gastro- and gastric (meaning related to the stomach) are both derived from the Greek word gaster (γαστήρ).
Functions
The stomach is usually a highly acidic environment due to gastric acid production and secretion which produces a luminal pH range usually between 1 and 4 depending on the species, food intake, time of the day, drug use, and other factors. Such an environment is able to break down large molecules (such as from food) to smaller ones so that they can eventually be absorbed from the small intestine. The stomach can produce and secrete about 2 to 3 liters of gastric acid per day with basal secretion levels being typically highest in the evening for humans.


Pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells and turns into pepsin under low pH conditions and is a necessity in protein digestion.

Absorption of vitamin B12 from the small intestine is dependent on conjugation to a glycoprotein called intrinsic factor which is produced by parietal cells of the stomach.

Other functions include absorbing some ions, water, and some lipid soluble compounds such as alcohol, aspirin, and caffeine.

Another function of the stomach is simply a food storage cavity.

Anatomy of the human stomach
The stomach lies between the esophagus and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It is on the left side of the abdominal cavity. The top of the stomach lies against the diaphragm. Lying beneath the stomach is the pancreas, and the greater omentum which hangs from the greater curvature.

Two smooth muscle valves, or sphincters, keep the contents of the stomach contained. They are the esophageal sphincter (found in the cardiac region) dividing the tract above, and the Pyloric sphincter dividing the stomach from the small intestine.

The stomach is surrounded by parasympathetic (stimulant) and orthosympathetic (inhibitor) plexuses (anterior gastric, posterior, superior and inferior, celiac and myenteric), which regulate both the secretory activity and the motor activity of the muscles.

In humans, the stomach has a volume of about 50 mL when empty. After a meal, it generally expands to hold about 1 litre of food, [3] but it can actually expand to hold as much as 4 litres. When drinking milk it can expand to just under 6 pints, or 3.4 litres. [4]

How To Convert Video From YouTube (*.flv) to your ordinary pc friendly format (*.avi & *.mpg)

This recipe explains how to save youtube videos as mpg or avi files on your pc, all done w/free tools and a site, ripzor.com. Also quick overview of google and myspace videos too. As most YouTube users are aware of, Flash videos are a bit hard at times to capture. Most of the time to capture such videos, you would need to purchase retail video streaming software to do so. However, after some digging, i have found an alternative! A 'free' way of doing this using FLV Converter and a website, Ripzor.com

1. First, we will need to get this program FLV Converter. Once you have the zip file downloaded, just extract all 3 files to a folder on your desktop (ie in our example, "FLV Converter" ).


2. Find the youtube video you want to convert/rip (ie lets use my 4th
of july video as an example; http://youtube.com/watch?v=9c9megXG7BM ). Once you have the video up, click in the "URL" box and copy the URL to the video. Or if you want to download the video direct from YouTube pages, you add FireFox add-on called DownloadHelper. I'm suggesting this cuz it will be whole lot easier and it's free too.

3. Go to this site http://www.ripzor.com/youtuberipper.html
and paste the URL of the youtube video into the text box hit the Get Video.

Once you do this, it will add a Click Here link, click it save the file to your desktop; just give it a name and be sure to add the .FLV extension (ie in our example, i would name the file 4thofjuly.flv).

4. Now that we have the video in FLV format, we can now convert it either MPG or AVI using FLV Converter.Go to the location where we extracted the FLV Converter program (three files in Step 1). in our example, we put the files in a folder on our desktop and double-click on the flvconverter.exe

Click the Add Files button and choose the FLV file we created from the site.
Click the Browse button to choose which directory to save to, i saved to the desktop in my example.
Finally, the bottom options are what type of video format to save in and also a bitrate setting. you can play with these settings yourself.

Finally, hit that Process! button. (i love buttons with !!s in them. :) )

You'll get a prompt such as this:

choose Yep.

Finally, the process/converting will be done in a command line box, it will take a few seconds and then bring you back to the main FLV Converter screen.

Hopefully you should have an AVI or MPG on your desktop of the clip. Its almost too easy!

BTW, you can do the similar type of things w/Google Video, Myspace, and other VOD services on this site.

Myspace Ripper (same method as YouTube)
Google Video (super easy, just put in URL and choose format)

Nice job RIPZOR (Ripzor.com) !
