How to use a Belkin Universal Range Extender as an access point

I was given one of these and for the life of me couldn't get it to work. Adding security to the device would cause the web management page to crash and make the device unconfigurable. I discovered that though the security on the belkin causes problems the MAC address rules do. So if you've got the same problem leave the device as an unsecured access point and define your MAC rules. Worked first time.

Streaming video onto your iphone or psp

For psp you'll need custom firmware, one that'll run 1.5 homebrew - run over to pimpstreamer and get going. You'll have to muck about with the conversion rates if your wifi is a little bit slacky.

For iphone I'll recommend Air Video. Works a treat and you won't have to convert all your nice avi files. It'll convert on the fly - on a dual core machine or higher. Runs fine with my little HP 3020 Slimline PC and that's something like a AMD x2 3800+ if memory serves me right.

Editing Google Docs on the iPhone

The only app that currently allows editing of your google docs is Office2. It's at an introductory price of £1.79 which is bit of bargain. Now hurry up Google.

Rotate your XP wallpaper to make it look like Windows 7

You'll need Autowallpaper. The only annoyance of the software is that it doesn't run minimised on startup. You'll want to create a batch file (.bat) in your startup folder and paste the following (changing the folder to suit your own)

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoWallpaper"
start /min autowallpaper.exe
exit

How to disable driver signing in Windows 7

bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

These currency maps

Though I've provided currency maps for all the major currencies the thematics applied to each country within the file refer to the country's currency performance against the dollar. When you download the Euro map you are obtaining a map of all currencies against the dollar with popup information for the exchange rate between the Euro and the country in question. I don't have access to the complete Euro exchange rate board (or whatever it's called). If you have access and are willing to share - please get in touch and i can code that up to.
