Sorry, my experience with bmp files is years old. I definitely associate it with low-res but my memory is that of a drowning gnat these days.

Hey. New board.
You probably associate bmp images with Microsoft paint, which used it as the default image format for years.

That's it, Gris!! Thank you.

I've decided to jailbreak my iPhone tonight so I can make it a wifi hotspot for my trip to MI. Wish me luck. Any helpful hints or horror stories I should hear?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What are you using for your source? I find LifeHackers jailbreaking/rooting suggestions pretty easy to follow. I had my Cliq up and running with CyanogenMod in no time at all following their guides.

Hey. New board.
Backup your phone first, but otherwise it's not so bad. I'm not sure about iOS 5 jailbreaks, but the ones for earlier OSes were not too hard.

Yep--I thought I'd try Cydia and MyWi from this LifeHacker article: [link]
I really only need to use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my iPad about three days of the year (otherwise I'm in places where I have access to other wifi sources), so it didn't make sense to shell out the extra for a dataplan on the iPad. And Apple doesn't have an official hotspot option for the 3GS, so jailbreaking seems like the best option.
ETA: Thanks, Gris. I did a dual backup this morning (the phone's usual one and another backup to an external drive).

An open office draw file is getting too big. If I start splitting it into multiple files is there a way to combine them at the end. That is add pages from one draw file into another?

Well, drat. The only jailbreaks for iOS5 are tethered. As I'm not taking my computer, this won't work. Oh, we'll. It's only two days and change, and I'll still have my phone.

Just throwing this out there with the random hope someone knows.
When I asked for help selecting a repeater to extend my parents wireless network, I explicitly said something that plugs into the wall and extends the wireless network. Out of the box, the ASUS RT-N13U that the sales guy recommended does not do that. But he knew I intended to flash it. It catches the wireless signal, and extends that. I'm now test blasting my home network everywhere. Booyah!
I was planning to install dd-wrt on them, but I've been lazy so far. And, really, wondering if I need to, if it will do it simply out of the box. But I'd *really* like to extend the network by connecting the unit to a drop. That way, I can put it in an out-of-reach area, and have it beam in all directions. My logic tells me I stand a chance of covering more area that way. And if I end up with pockets inbetween the three bubbles of connectivity, so be it.
Will dd-wrt give me this ability? For sure? I've started reading, and I can't work it out. I was just wondering if anyone knew for sure...
Because if it doesn't, I don't think there's a point flashing them.
