Text Files:
Handling .txt files:

* txt files are saved in web pages\save_pages folder.
* You can create .txt files with a windows Notepad or any word processing file and then send the file via USB to the folder mentioned above.
* I’ve noticed that if a Nokia sends me a txt file, when its opened the first letter of the message appears only. It appears that the text message body is saved in the filename, therefore, a long filename will not appear. Thus to view the message, after it has been save in the saved pages folder, view it’s information, and the message will be seen in full. I have experienced this with one user, I’m not sure if the user deliberately types the message in the filename field or if thats how nokia works.
* Another way of creating text files is by using word and savnig them as a web page(htm). This is useful if you are using foreign characters, as they will sometimes not appear if saved as .txt.

Bluejacking tips and tricks

Published on Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Here are some ideas for contacts you can bluejack people with:
Name: The Devil
Mobile number: 666
Email: thedevil@hell.com

Name: “Make of victim’s phone” suck, buy “make of your phone”!
Email: You’ve-just-been-bluejacked-by-”your name”

Some good places to bluejack:
- Busy shopping centre
- Starbucks
- Train Station
- High Street
- On a train/ tube/ bus
- Cinema
- Café/ restaurant/ pub
- Mobile phone shop
- Electronics shop (e.g. Dixons)

In case it all goes wrong:
If you manage to identify your victim and they are looking angry rather than puzzled & confused, jellyellie’s advise is to run, not walk, in the opposite direction!

The Reveal:
‘The Reveal’ is what it all comes down to in the end. It is what your messages have been building up to, and it’s certainly the climax of your exchange.

If you know who your victim is, when it’s time for you to leave the area send them a contact saying something like “Listen out for ‘parrot’”. Then, as you walk past them, say (loudly) to yourself “I hope my parrot will be OK!” That will definitely get their attention (tried, tested and proven by jellyellie).
