Hello, my name is David McGrath.  I’m a student at Virginia Tech, majoring in Computer Science.  Thanks for reading my blog, seriously.  This thing is a labor of love, and despite the ads, I don’t make any money from this place.  My hope is to teach people how to enjoy using technology and how to use it to enrich their lives.

Online, I use the aliases Mavtak (latest) and AlwaysMC2 (first).  I most-often participate in Channel 9, Microsoft’s online community for developers.  If you’re interested in my résumé, you can find it here.

I use a program called Wacoopa to monitor my program usage.  Below is an auto-generated list of my most used programs.  Click to view more information.

Here’s last.fm’s metrics about my music consumption:

I have a Zune (posts), which I love. Below is some auto-generated information based on my usage of my Zune and the Zune software.  It’s not totally accurate since I use Windows Media Player a lot, but take it for what it’s worth.

    As I was unlocking my motorazr V3m i noticed that the box.net website in which you told viewers to go to was not posted on your website and I could not go to the website to download the files. It would help very much if you put a link to the website in the description given under the video.

    Ryan, I made that video before I got this website. The link to the download at its new location is right below the video on the post.

    As with Ryan I can’t seem to find the link. I’ve looked and still am not able to find the link. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

    Verizon Razr V3m Unlocking Kit (Revision 3)

  5. jim posted on January 8, 2009:

    The whole key to the V3m is to edit two key settings with seem edit. The first is”seem 2742″, record 1, bytes=0. Check the bit for offset 0006a that allows USB Xfer. The second, and the one everybody misses is, seem 2827, record 1, bytes=22 offset 0006. Check boxes 0, 2, 3, and 6. This makes the software think it is a v3c phone. I spend 20 hours on this problem and now can dowload any ringtone I want. I use BITPIN for communicating.
