View text iPhone messages once you start typing.
I'm a big fan of the SMS & MMS user interface on the iPhone. However I've always found it annoying that once you start typing, you can not minimize the keyboard. In other words if you want to view all of your messages from one contact in full screen mode, after you've started typing a new message, you have to go back to the previous screen, then back into the conversation you started in the first place. I found that you can avoid this by clicking edit (upper right-hand corner). You can view all of the messages in edit mode, then hit cancel when you're finished. You don't lose any of the new message you started typing. Just be careful you don't accidentally delete anything!
How to run fsck on a Logical Volume in Linux.
I recently had a problem on my laptop running Fedora 11 where my X session just totally froze when trying to bring the laptop back from a hibernate state. Outside of the occasional issues coming out of hibernate (usually X not restoring) I'd say Fedora 11 has been pretty solid. This particular time, my X session restored but everything locked up. I tried switching to another virtual terminal to log in and kill GDM but some sort of inode error just streamed down the console. My only option was a hard reboot and after that I couldn't boot Fedora with any kernel. To fix my problem I booted off the Fedora install CD into rescue mode without mounting / . I then performed the following:
# lvm pvscan # lvm vgscan # lvm lvchange -ay /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol_home # lvm lvscan # fsck -yfv /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol_home
How long should my jump rope be?
Double unders are one of my favorite agility exercises. There is something very satisfying about doing 25+ double unders in a row; it really gets your heart pounding! One question many people always ask is how long should their jump rope be? According to jumprope.com:
Generally, the proper rope length is determined by your height as follows:
Length Suitable For 7 ft. up to 4'10" 8 ft. 4'11"-5'3" 9 ft. 5'4"-5'10" 10 ft. 5'11"-6'6" 11 ft. over 6'6" To determine the exact length for an individual, stand on the center of the cord.
The handle tips should reach your armpits. When you jump over the rope, the rope should just brush the floor beneath your feet. If the cord doesn't touch the floor, the rope is too short. If the cord hits the floor in front of your feet, the rope is too long and should be shortened.
The size chart and the individual method are general...optimum rope length ideally depends on how high you hold your arms as you turn the rope with your wrist, thus check where it hits the floor and make any minor adjustments.
Remember as you're jumping: the Crossfit gold standard for double unders is 2:00 minutes straight without messing up!
