I promised a new theme for the summer and here it is. Its one of my favourites so far, and I think you’ll like it too.
I’ll post more info and screenshots soon. Please go ahead and try out my demo or download Kodi for MyBB below. If you notice any issues tell me about them in the comments.

I’ve wanted to give Android a try for a while, and Mobilicity recently had a deal I couldn’t pass up. $99 for a Motorola Spice and 3 months of unlimited service on WagJag (same place as the WIND data stick).
The Spice is not a top of the line Android, but overall a useful handset and a great value. Others have complained vehemently about the phone. And I agree that it has some flaws, but with a little work and patience it can definatley hold its own.
Its actually a pretty decent looking phone, especially compared to other Motos like the XT720/Milestone. Its has a smaller Palm Pre or BlackBerry Torch form factor; portrait touch screen with slide down keyboard. The exterior is almost entirely plastic with a few metal accents. Despite this it feels reasonably solid, although it does seem a little slippery. I would suggest getting a case or skin for this phone if you trend to drop things easily.
I’ve never been a big hardware keyboard user, but the keyboard on the Spice actually seems pretty nice. After a few days I can type on it at almost the same speed as a BlackBerry Curve or iPhone keyboard. Continue reading
Here’s a preview of a new theme I’ve been working on: Kodi for MyBB 1.6. Its nearly done, working on Javascript / buttons / computability now.
Visual voicemail is an idea that’s been around for a long time, but most people are still using archaic dial-in systems. One problem is that carrier and handset support for the feature is uncommon, and another is that it usually has an associated cost.
So lets devise that plan that nets you visual voicemail that works on any handset, most carriers and doesn’t cost you anything extra. For this to work you’ll need data and push email account on your phone. You’re plan must also support conditional call forwarding. And finally we’ll need an account at freephoneline.ca (where the real magic happens here).
The first thing you should do is setup your account at Free Phone Line. These guys offer a free Canadian phone number, voicemail, long distance and more. Follow the instructions and make sure you choose a local number. Once your account is created and verified, we can start to setup the voicemail. The first thing you might want to do is record your voicemail greeting. Download and open the FPL softphone app on your computer, dial *98 (or click the voicemail button) and follow instructions to record your greeting.
