How to Install Turkish Language on your iPhone

Okay, so this took me quite a long time to find so I thought I would make it easy for any other Turkish family or American family with a Turkish relative that needs the Turkish language on their iPhone. I hope this helps.

1)Connect your iPhone to the internet by way of wifi.
2)On the home page of your iPhone go to 'Installer'.
3)You will see a list of packages to install. You will need to download a package to install it.
4)Up in the left hand corner touch 'add'. (you are adding a source)
5)Then type in the following URL > http://niffob.com/triphone.xml and enter.
6)You will now see the Turkish app in the list.
7)Click on it to go to it's list. You will see Türkçe Dili.
8)Install that.
9)Now go to Settings > General > Language and there it is; Turkish.

Enjoy.

The Best Online Storage Available

I sometimes check out different online storage deals at godaddy and 1&1 but nobody has the best online storage deal I have. It is over 6 GB for free.

It is simple and here's how I do it. I only have one email at gmail.com. With it I am able to have up to 6GB of email storage and it is constantly going up. For backup files I want to store like Quickbooks files and the like, I just compose an email to myself. I attach the file I want to save. I can save up to 20 mb per email. Then I just save it as a draft. I don't even send it to myself. So all my backup folders are in my 'draft' folder on my gmail.

Sweet huh?

So godaddy, and 1&1, be glad you can collect money for your paltry 1 and 2 GB storage solutions. I'll stay with my free 6 GB solution.

over and out!

The Best Deal for E Faxing

I'd like to tell you about an email fax company that I have been using for 8 years now. They don't advertise as I can tell. I never read about them in any magazine. I think all this helps me understand how they can be so good and so cheap at the same time.
The company website is www.Faxaway.com.

Here's the skinny; you sign up, pay them $10 and you now have a fax number that anybody can send you faxes from now till the earth burns up in the sun. All incoming faxes are free and they come direct to your email. The $10 is for outgoing faxes. You can send an email with your fax in .PDF for example attached, no subject, no body. Just send it to xxxxxxxxxx@faxaway.com and they convert it to an outgoing fax to the xx.. number. You then get an email confirmation that it has gone. Usually they run about .11 cents per page. I also fax international for about $1.00 a page. Not bad at all. I like it because I can use it anywhere I move or use the internet. I don't have to have a clunky fax machine next to my desk, buying special paper or even using electricity.

I've used eFax before and did just not like it. I don't know how it is for friendliness now, but back then it was not working for me. Also, it was $15.99 a month then if you used it or not!!
Now it is $16.95 and still a rip off. Faxaway.com has them beat to a pulp.

You can see from Faxaway's website they are not a VC invested company and not polished.
But boy they work like a charm and with no monthly fee, who cannot like that?

That's all for now.
