A portable battery that can be used to plug-in most portable items. Has 2 USB ports and an AC outlet on the side. Built-in converter so can connect battery to ac outlet or to a power outlet in your car. Even if you don’t have the battery plugged in, it will provide additional power for your devices, or to recharge them.
XPower PowerSource Mobile 100 is the model name.
Looks like very good protection for your portable devices, and not unreasonable prices either. I may just have to order one for my Archos 504
Trying to install WordPress locally on my machine using Apache, PHP and MySQL. Installed Apache and PHP 5.0.2. Got the latest MySql from Mysql, and installed their connectors. WordPress wouldn’t run. Complained that MySql wasn’t configured under PHP
Did some research and finally determined that the problem was with the version of the mysql libraries I was trying to use. Found this out by going to the command line and typing php -m. When php tried to start, it gave me errors.
Once I got the latest version from the php install zip, and put them in the correct place, PHP started and showed the mysql extension. WordPress now runs correctly.
I’ve bought a 40GB 504, and am almost completely happy with it. Currently, I can’t use it to output to a tv just using a standard mini to RCA cable, but Archos is working on it. I’ve been happy with their tech support, as they did a lot to try and help me. It seems it’s a firmware issue, so hopefully they’ll get it resolved soon.
I’m also not happy with their current plug-in pricing. I want to have MPG2 and AC3 audio support, but I’m not going to pay 20 Euros for it (assuming they use the same price for the Cinema plug-in that they’re using for the podcast plug-in they’ve released). Hopefully the market won’t buy it, so they’ll have to drop the price.
I’ve started using Dr. Divx for my encoding. Much more powerful than the Divx Converter, and it doesn’t require the MPEG2 plug-in to convert MPEG2 or VOB files. Too bad I hadn’t looked at it before registering the MPEG2 plug-in. Such is life.
Dr.Divx allows for batching of files. You can also add additional files to be processed while it is currently converting a file. It supports ‘watch’ folders, so you can move files you want converted to a watched folder, and Dr. Divx will automatically add them to it’s batch list. Handy if you have a lot of files that require the same parameters, since otherwise you’d have to load each file, and set the parameters for conversion by hand.
Well worth checking out if you want to convert files.
