I recently freed my iphone using one of the popular jailbreak methods that are floating around on the internet, and because of this you can then use applications that are not certified for use by apple (Aka apps from the community). Of the couple of apps i downloaded one useful app I found was SMS2Mail

SMS2Mail allows you to organize, backup, and forward your SMS messages from your iPhone to any email account, and i decided to set it up to use my gmail account to backup my settings using SMTP, however i ran into a problem! It kept giving me an error just saying it failed to send, basically i believe it was to do with the browser secure https setting that i was using in gmail, i simply selected ‘Don’t always use https’ and this allowed me to use this application, hopefully it can be of some use to other people! As i couldn’t find anything myself online for this problem.

Recently had time to look over the site and update a few things that were getting out of date, and generally cleaning a few things up for everything to carry on running along smoothly. The halo photography gallery now runs a beta version which has better SEO features such as permanent id’s, so it friendly for search engines which I have been experimenting with lately so we will see how that goes. I’ve also spend a bit of time creating accurate meta keywords, descriptions for pretty much all pages and also sitemaps to get Halo.Snaver.net up there in the search engine rankings! The site is currently 8 or 9th for the google search ‘Halo 3 Photography‘ which is pretty good going to be honest, hopefully start to push traffic with other search terms once the changes I’ve made start to take effect.

I hope to have a new site online for the release of ODST for users to upload screenshots or movies or whatever really, with features like uploading from desktop and also directly from bungie.net! also want to start pushing the site very hard at that time with a fresh new design and better hosting, or atleast for the databases which power the site which are starting to get fairly large!

That’s about it for now, for updates check here or just look around, i should be updating every so often now i hope!

Peace!

All these images were captured and taken during the testing & development duration of Halo 2, these test are commonly referred to as the alpha or beta stages of the game. From these images you can see how certain features in the game evolved into the final product you play today, and some that didn’t make it but shipped with Halo 3.

I just uploaded a bunch of Screenshots & Captures that were over at Halomods.com that show off some of the current Halo 3 Modifications going on at the moment, they’re pretty damn cool! Anthony has managed to locate the values in the 360 executable file that allows him to execute debug commands such as wireframe which you can see in the screenshots, Veegie has modified the game so that it allows him to play as an ODST Marine in the single player campaign which also looks very cool! Check out the custom melee animations also.

I’m a big fan of Notepad++ its a great advanced yet very simple IDE for simple and quick edits when you need it to. If you’ve ever used or are using Flashfxp then you’ll know it’s a great application and works very well for ftp’ing files! However when it comes to quick edits to your sites files (PHP for example) it really lets itself down. But what if you could combine these two great programs i here you ask? Well if you read on I’ll explain exactly how! Read more »
