If you use windows mobile (for me, 6.0) and the remove password feature is greyed out, use this hack to removed the greyed out feature:

Using a registry editor (I use PHM, available at phm.lu), look for the value name “00001023″ and change the value from ‘0′ to ‘1′ in \hklm\security\policies\policies


This will undo the greyed out lock setting (i.e. you are now able to
control inactivity lock option as well as the duration of the
inactivity).

Funnily enough, I didn’t even realise that it was out yet. I’ll need to check out what’s changed in SP3 before I install it. Any clues, drop me a line.

Anyway, if I get round to installing it, I’ll need to take into account the fact that the address bar will disappear. To get it back I’ll need to check out the following link.

On the way to work this morning, I came across an accident. Probably a few seconds after it had happened. There was a Peugeot 20x upside down in the middle lane of the road. Quick as a flash, I pulled over, as I couldn’t see anyone next to the car and rushed over to the car. I heard the woman inside muttering or moaning, so I knew she was concious. As it happens, the drivers door was unlocked, so I yanked it open to get a better view. After checking to see she was indeed okay (for relevant values of okay) and hadn’t broken anything, I got another person to get over to the other side and release the seatbelt. With another biker on my side, we got the woman out and carried (supported) her to the side of the road.

My reasoning behind this, was that she was lucid, the car was upside down in the middle lane and smoke was coming out from the engine (probably some fluid other than petrol). At the time, I saw the smoke and just reacted. I didn’t know at the time, that the car was a diesel.

I started to ask her a few questions about how she was, etc, when SWK first aid better than I came over and took control (I was fine with this). She seemed fine overall, with a bruise from the seatbelt and marks underneath her where she’d probably been hit with the airbag. She even knew what had happened until the point of her cage going upside down (down to the detail where she thought she’d hit a black 407).

My Q. Was my act of heroism a bit stupid and should have I left her hanging upside down in the car? My immediate thought was that I should get her out of any further danger. I’ve been told since, that I should have left her upside down and waited for the fire brigade to do the job.

Sigh. I really need to sort out a first aid course.

Just for a laugh, click on this and help me grow my minicity.

I’m more interested in seeing who clicks on the links, tbh. Really!
