Casio Wave Ceptor Tough Solar Wristwatch Instructions

Casio Wave Ceptor Tough Solar Wristwatch Instructions - Model 3311 (Also marked 430J, which looks like 4300)

Buttons:

 +----+
A|    |B
C|    |D
 +----+

Sometimes I refer to the buttons by A,B,C,D. Other times I use the hour nearest the button: 10PM, 2PM, 4PM, 8PM

The “normal” state is displaying the current time.

To get to normal state:

  • Poke 8PM button until the chirp changes. If it shows current time, you’re done.
  • Poke the 10PM button until current time is displayed.

To display date/time of last atomic sync, starting from normal state:

  • Poke 4 PM button once. It will start cycling among 3 displays:
    • Satellite dish icon
    • Date of last sync
    • Time of last sync When you’re done, poke 4 PM button to return to display of current time.

If you get stuck in Kanji day-of-week mode:

  • Hold 10PM button until flashing.
  • Poke 10PM button AGAIN to get to 12/24 hour mode.
  • Repeatedly poke 8PM as it cycles through manually setting:
    • 12/24
    • Seconds
    • Hour
    • Minute
    • Year
    • Month
    • Day
    • Language
  • At the language setting, poke 4PM button to toggle Kani/English.
  • Poke 10PM to stop flashing.

Atomic Clock Synch:

  • Receive atomic clock now – Hold D until it chirps. </li>
  • Receiving tip (from East Coast USA) - Put the watch in west-facing window, 12 toward the window, motionless while receiving (2-3 minutes).
  • Daylight Saving Time - the watch does auto-DST based on the atomic clock signal.  If DST isn’t right, it didn’t receive the signal last night.

Click here to see the inscrutable Casio Instructions There are two different Casio manuals. One is for 3311 and 5052. One is for 3311 and 3356. You want the 3311/3356 one. They have mostly the same content, but the settings chart in the 3311/3356 was easier for me to read.

Notes on Jello Dashboard Version 5

  • Download from http://www.jello-dashboard.net/?page_id=29
  • Whether you use the .exe or the .zip, you may see a "Could not obtain offline settings..." error when trying to set the folder's home page to Jello5.htm.  Clicking Cancel will get you past the error, with no ill effects (so far as I can tell).
  • It seems to access Outlook secured fields without using Redemption.  To avoid the "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook" error, install http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/security.   (I downloaded this and saved it as Outlook-Disable-Security-Warning-Plugin.zip.)
  • I wanted to set a Home Page for a PST file (instead of my default store, which is an Exchange folder).  Outlook 2007 makes this difficult.  Download "Office 2007 system Administrative Template files" from Microsoft, run the group policy editor, and:
    • User Configuration > Administrative Templates
    • Action > Add/Remove Templates
    • Add outlk12.adm from the download
    • Close the Add dialog
    • User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Outlook 2007 > Tools|Options > Other > Advanced
    • Disable "Do not allow folders in non-default stores to be set as folder home page..."

I think that covers all the hacking, just to get it running.  To actually USE the thing…



Glossary

  • "The Hierarchy" - the tree control in the panel on the right side of the Jello display.

How Do I…

  • Create contexts:
    • Right-click Tags in the hierarchy, and select Insert.  Jello 5 doesn't treat context any different than other tags, so be sure to use the @ prefex, so you can recognize contexts.
  • Add an Action:
    • Click Collect on the Home Page.

Shortcut Keys ("Hot keys"):

  • They only work when you're looking at the Jello Dashboard page.  They aren't Outlook hot-keys.
  • Home Screen - ^H
  • Search - ^Z

ClearContext

ClearContext is a nice plug-in for Outlook.  I love the functionality.  With it installed, Outlook 2007 keeps going out-to-lunch at 99% of CPU for minutes at a time.  I can’t use it if it make Outlook not respond for minutes at a time.  This happens often (not always) when I select a different message in the inbox.

Security Warning Running EXE File

To make the "Open File - Security Warning" "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?"

stop happening:

  1. Run gpedit.msc
  2. User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Attachment Manager

  3. Add "*.exe" to "Inclusion list for moderate risk file types".Other keywords:

If the file is in the list of moderate risk file types and is from the Internet zone, Windows prompts before accessing the file.  But...  it allows you to run an .exe from the Intranet zone without a prompt.

  • Unknown Publisher
  • ie7 Internet Explorer
  • Windows XP
  • Group Policy Editor

Notes on Desktop Search

I need to be able to find programs I already own that meet a need. I nearly bought a second copy of software that didn’t meet my needs on the first purchase.


I’d love to use tagging. Here are the problems:


Google Desktop doesn’t search metadata


Microsoft Desktop Search does search metadata, but it doesn’t search Thunderbird email.


Copernic searches metadata and email, but …


Microsoft PHLAT does keywords but it doesn’t search Thunderbird, and it stores its tags in metadata that is not visible from Windows file property dialogs. <hr />Windows Search (Microsoft’s indexed desktop search for Windows XP) - I don’t use it for the following reasons:


  • When you un-install it, it wants you to un-install all programs installed after it, before you un-install it.
  • It holds Outlook in memory, so you can't back-up Outlook mail files using standard backup applications.
  • It removes the basic Windows search command.  I want desktop search PLUS the basic windows scan-files-for-content, because not every file type gets indexed, and I need to be able to search for non-indexed files.

Update: You can retain the basic Windows search (via winkey-F or  Start/Search):

In RegEdit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS and set ShowStartSearchBand to 0


Lookout and Outlook 2007

Installing Lookout on Outlook 2007

1) First, you’ll have to find a copy of Lookout.  Microsoft doesn’t distribute it anymore, but issuing this search on Google seems to find it pretty handily.

2) Next, install Lookout.  You’ll need admin privileges (no difference from XP), and the install will go without a hitch.

3) When you next restart Outlook, you’ll probably get a "Lookout failed to start" error dialog:

4) The problem is that Outlook 2007 ships the Outlook 2007 Office PIAs by default.  Open a command shell (as administrator), and issue the following commands:

  • cd  %SYSTEMROOT%\assembly\GAC
  • rename  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD

5) Restart Outlook and you are good to go.

Reversal

If this doesn’t work for you, or it breaks some other plugin, you’ll want to restore the interop library.  Just undo the command above thusly:

  • rename  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

Why does this dialog exist?

At the time Lookout was written, Microsoft’s strategy for shipping PIAs hadn’t fully been sorted out.  Prior to Outlook 10, there were no official PIAs.  Outlook 10 introduced official PIAs, which you could redistribute.  Outlook 11 had official PIAs as well (different ones), but Microsoft didn’t permit redistribution of them, and they weren’t backward compatible.  Further, with VS2003, it was pretty easy to create your own PIAs, which were almost identical to the official ones, but not signed.  There were lots of plugins out there, and some of them handled PIAs badly.

At some point, Lookout ended up requiring that it be able to find the official Outlook 10 PIA installed, or it would assume it would fail.  It wasn’t smart enough to recognize that new versions of the PIA might be legit, and probably should have handled it better.  Who would have guessed that Outlook 12 would introduce yet a 3rd PIA distribution strategy?  OL2007 elects to install the PIAs into the GAC by default; so plugins no longer needed to redistribute them at all.  I do believe this is the best strategy.

What this simple fix does is temporarily uninstall the Office 12 version of the PIA.  As long as no other .NET Outlook addins are running (C++ based addins don’t use PIAs), this has absolutely zero negative impact on your system.  If other .NET addins exist on your system, and those addins are Outlook 11 or 12 specific (I don’t know of any OL12 specific plugins yet?), then you might have a problem with this fix.  These conflicts should be rare, but not zero.

Taglocity 2.0 beta

I tried using Taglocity 2.0.  When it comes to finding data, Taglocity’s ability to filter Outlook folders is great.  All of the emails without the specified tag(s) simply vanish from the Outlook explorer (mail folder view).  I really like being able to use all of the norrmal Outlook searching and sorting on results.  This much nicer than working with search results from Windows Desktop Search, Google Desktop Search, or Lookout.



If I could just get someone to do all the tagging.  I tagged almost all of my 8,000 emails over a weekend, and that went OK, but on-the-fly manual tagging just takes too much time and effort, and if I forget to tag an email, it is effectively lost.  Their auto-tagging is nice, but it doesn’t know what I consider to be the topic-keyword for the message.



Also, it insists on connecting to its server in order for the Outlook plug-in to work.  What happens when Taglocity goes out of business or drops support for v2.0?

HTTPort Errors

HTTPort is a useful tool for http tunneling of http, but the documentation is incomplete.  Here are a few errors and solutions I’ve encountered.



httport errors:


  • SOCKS4[x.x.x.x:80]: 0002 Access denied
    • Means that "httport/Proxy/Use personal remote host at/Password" != "htthost/options/personal password"
  • SOCKS4[x.x.x.x:80]: 0103 Invalid connection id
    • "Proxy/HTTP Proxy to bypass/Host name or IP address" doesn't point to the proxy to bypass
  • HTTPx: WinInet HTTPSendRequest failed (12029) (request xyz, attempt n/m)
    • "Proxy/HTTP Proxy to bypass/Host name or IP address" doesn't point to the proxy to bypass
  • SOCKS4[x.x.x.x:80]: 0103 Invalid connection id
    • Means that "httport/Proxy/Use personal remote host at/Host name or IP address" != the external IP address of your htthost server


htthost errors:

  • LISTENER: bind() to 0.0.0.0:8080 failed, closing socket
    • Means that some other process is listening on port 8080.  One cause of this could be that you're running htthostc (console mode) and htthost.  This happened to me after I set up to run htthostc as a service, but forgot to take htthost out of the Startup folder.


Ruby, Cygwin, Sqlite, Gems

Collected from many different sources…


  • Run Cygwin's setup.exe  http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe and add the repository for Cygwin Ports -- ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports
    • Select Cygwin's Ruby package (you'll get a 1.8.x release)
    • From the Databases category, add libsqlite3-devel and sqlite3
    • Complete Cygwin's setup.exe
  • From a bash shell:
    • Ensure that RUBYOPT is set to nothing
    • Install Rubygems
      • Download the tar file from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
      • tar -zxvf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz
      • cd rubygems-1.3.1
      • ruby setup.rb
    •  gem install sqlite3-ruby 

Note: If you also have Windows Ruby installed, you’ll need to ensure that your Cygwin environment variables (including PATH) reference the Cygwin edition and not the Windows edition.  The two editions are NOT compatible due to the binary parts of some gems and the path separator differences.

Microsoft Loopback Adapter, How Do I Despise Thee -- Let Me Count the Ways

I've been burned a few times by the Microsoft Loopback Adapter (MLA).  It's a nice idea to have a loopback adapter, but it appears to me that when a program asks Windows for an adapter (pick an adapter, any adapter) Windows either provides the loopback adapter as the default, or when a program asks for a list of adapters, the MLA is the first adapter in the list.

So what? There is lots of software out there that once it finds a connected adapter, it stops looking for better adapters.  Yeah, I know that isn't the fault of the MLA,  but here's the effect:

  • I've got a program that works well enough.
  • I enable the MLA.
  • Sometime later (maybe months later), I try to use the program again, and it fails.
  • The action I took that caused the problem was to enable the MLA.

Here are some programs that have failed after enabling the MLA:

  • Oracle database server
    • I forget the details.  It was months ago.
  • Belkin USB Network Hub (Model F5L009)
    • "Control Center" can't find the Belkin device.  The list comes up empty.
