For ordinar, a "toun" is thocht o as lairger nor a veelage but smawer nor a "ceety", tho thare's exceptions tae this rule. The wirds "ceety" an "veelage" cam intae Scots frae Laitin via French.

In a world where USA is starting to get serous about Universal Internet Access.

France's highest court, the Constitutional Council, has ruled that access to the internet is a "fundamental human right".

Estonia, Finland, and Greece, Internet access has already been made a human right.

This is what the 3 major political parties (Labour, Conservatives & Liberal Democrats) in Britain think of internet access.

Default Font Installer for PPC

Click here to download:

Font installer.mscr (3 KB)

This little script I've created sets your desired font on your Windows Mobile/Phone as the default.

Couple of things… Required mortscripts & some fonts.

Drop the script into the same directory in which you have got some fonts… e.g. \Storage Card\My Fonts\

When you run it, it'll ask you 2 questions :-

The Font File Name e.g. seguibk.ttf
The Font Name e.g. Segoe UI

Once completed the script will prompt you to reset your device.

furryface — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 04:39:53 +0000

My ZTE MF627 dongle seems to have issues with windows 7, but once I actually sat down and had a look, things turned out to be much simpler than expected…

Simply manually install the troubled drivers For me the drivers were located:
C:\Program Files\ZTE_MF6X6_USB_MODEM_1.2050.0.6\drivers\32bit\VISTA
C:\Program Files\ZTE_MF6X6_USB_MODEM_1.2050.0.6\drivers\64bit\VISTA
