The cool thing about tracking your own website’s hits is that you can tell what people were looking for when they came to your site. But sometimes you are in the situation where you know the answer to their question, but the answer is not on your website. So I’m going to give a little bit more to the blogosphere tonight and answer some of the questions that random internet readers had, but couldn’t answer by reading my blog:

“mac does not detect blackberry”

In my experience, my Mac did not detect my blackberry until I had the proper version of Pocketmac (the one for the 8100) installed on the machine. And then I had to use the USB cable, not Bluetooth.

“blackberry pearl copy addresses from sim”

*UPDATE* You can copy your phone numbers from your SIM by going through the Blackberry set-up wizard. It will prompt you to copy your phone number over. That’s the only way I know of to do it.

When my phone was broken, the T-mobile customer support person explained to me is that the SIM card doesn’t support the Blackberry format for address book entries (because the SIM card only stores name and number), so there isn’t too much point to copying things back and forth. It is much better to use your computer’s address book as your backup. So hopefully you have a copy on a computer you can sync with.

“blackberry 8100 html tables”

In case my post wasn’t clear about this: don’t check the browser option to load HTML tables. It will make page loading much slower.

“recalibrating ipod nike”

To recalibrate the nike+ipod widget you just have to follow the menu options for recalibrating and run a set distance on a measured track (found at most high schools and universities). You can recalibrate for running or walking. I just did it for running and it vastly improved the accuracy. I think if I had also done it for walking, it would further improve accuracy.
