The Blog of the Evil Jermil Sadler

Man… I was born at the perfect time!!! If I had been born just one generation earlier, I’d be so screwed right now. With computers and all. If I was like 45 instead of 25, I most likely wouldn’t know how computers work AT ALL!!!

I was lucky be born right as the personal computer became popular. I remember being a lil kid and my parents had a Commodore 64 that we hooked into the TV with the rabbit ears and I could play Space Invaders. Then they upgraded from that and got an Intel 386. This was back when I was too young to realize that the computer was a big deal.

But fast-forward to today. Anytime I want to know anything about anything, I hop on the computer and Google it. I get the answer in far less than a minute. But that’s only if I have to get up and go to the computer. I can do that exact thing on my CELL PHONE now. I have the internet in the same thing that I use to call my parents! How UNBELIEVABLE is that???

But we take these things for granted. Imagine growing up in the 70s and you want some pizza. You have to get up and flip through a fat yellow book while getting ink on your fingertips and dropping the book on your big toe. Now you do a google search.

Remember when we had to do book reports??? I know I had to actually go to the Detroit Public Library and get the book. Then read it and write about it. That’s over Johnny!

You can go to Amazon or eBay and get them to mail you the book overnight! Or you can download the e-book and read it on your computer while you click back and forth to check your email and facebook. But then you’d still have to read it. Hmmmm…

You can search in Google for “book report” and “Atlas Shrugged” and get a book report there I’d bet. Or you can read someone else’s summary and make a report out of that. You could probably find every edition of Cliff’s Notes for every book that was made and read that online.

I don’t know. I think we’re extremely lucky to be the first generation to be born with internet. Right now, the internet is flying around in the same air that you breathe. All you need is something to interact with it and you have all the questions, answers, and porn you could ever need EVER!

It’s just amazing. 2 thumbs up for the internet.

Within about two weeks of getting my first Blackberry, I had an issue with the charging port and had to get a new one. But I already set up all the programs and everything that I wanted on there.

A few of the programs that I put on there were linked to my Blackberry pin which is based on the actual phone. So I had a few problems after I got the new phone.

One problem was with the Google Sync program that keeps your Google Calendar matched up with the calendar in the Blackberry.

When I put Google Sync on the new Blackberry, everytime it tried to match the two, it would copy whatever was in my Google Calendar over and over again. I would end up with multiple copies of my appointments in my Blackberry. Quite annoying!

I found a way to fix this on one of the many Blackberry forums online.

First, I uninstalled Google Sync.

Then, I followed these steps…

1. Open the Desktop Manager that came with the Blackberry.
2. Connect the Blackberry to the computer.
3. Double-click “Backup & Restore”.
4. Select “Advanced”.
5. Wait for the “Device Databases” list to populate.
6. Scroll down the list until you find calendar and highlight it.
7. Click the Clear button under the list.

That clears your calendar.

Then I reinstalled Google Sync and told it to sync with the Google Calendar. Everything was wonderful after that!

Hope this helps anyone else who gets stuck in the same situation.

I get my emails sent to my Blackberry Curve. They show up like a text message. It’s good because you get notified whenever you have a new email. But it sucks when you get 4 notifications at once and you’re sitting in front of a computer so you can check them there.

I wanted to know how to delete more than one text at a time so I did a quick google search.

All you have to do is hold down the caps lock key and scroll through all of the messages you want deleted. Then push the menu button and select delete. Done!

You can also press ‘t’ and that will take you to the top of your messages.

Any other Blackberry tips and tricks are welcome here!
