Jan. 18th - 9:04PM. Saint Augustine, FL.
The guitar player was rocking a paisley tie-dyed Fender Stratocaster through a Line 6 combo amp. On top of the P.A., which was sitting on a chair just to his right, he had placed a small black light. This brought out the full effect of his custom painted axe. He was dressed head to toe in denim. I wouldn't be surprised if his socks and underwear, briefs not boxers, were denim as well. The solos were drunk, sloppy, indulgent, and awesome. The drummer wore a "Trilby"-esque hat; the bass player a black and white swirls shirt that matched his black and white Fender Jazz bass. It was the true spirit of the mall store "Spencer's embodied in a shirt. You could tell he saw it and just had to have it for gigging. The back up singer, who stood on the floor because there was no room for her on stage, not that the stage was not just a foot tall riser, was dressed like a legal secretary. When she wasn't singing or dancing with the audience she was a playing a P.A. speaker like it was a bongo. She was my favourite. Before they started playing I thought they were patrons, standing around the bar drinking and laughing, loudly conversing.
They opened with a cover of "Second That Emotion" originally by The Miracles. During the outro the lyrics were changed to "I'll rub your ass with lotion". They followed with Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious". Everyone was having a good time, it was the weekend, tear it up. There was the Billy Ray Cyrus wanna-be, new school Billy Ray, not old school Billy Ray, who moments before owning the dance floor had been sitting at the bar with a blond plastic surgery disaster, kissing the top of her exposed breasts. There was the elderly gentleman who i heard telling a group of people how when his wife died he became the "hot item on the block". There was skinny lawyer looking guy with salt and pepper hair. There was bulky zoot suit guy with white shoes in the back of the room. There was girl too cute for guy couple. There was open eyed kissing in the corner totally wasted couple who at one point got ready to go, then decided to stay and dance some more. There were others. It wasn't even 11 but you could tell most of them weren't going to make it much longer. Soon there would be a lot of sloppy sex happening. Billy Ray and P.S.Disaster weren't waiting until they got home, all but fucking right on the dance floor. Heather and I were perplexed at first when we saw them both start dancing with other people for the bands next song, Prince's "Purple Rain". We were perplexed because we didn't understand why anyone else would want to dance with either of them after the gratuitous leg humping session that had just ended. We guessed they were swingers looking to bring a 3rd or 4th party home with them for the evening. When the band started playing Pink Floyd, shaved head with a goatee guy was overwhelmed by everything that was happening, he took out his Nikon and started taking photos of the band. He had to be a part of the moment, he had to document the glory.
I was drinking whiskey and beer, a shot for every bottle. Heather was drinking wine. I felt warm; I felt fondness towards the band. I wanted to talk with them, I wanted to rap about gear, I wanted to let them know that I was also a musician. All of a sudden we were the only people left in the room besides the bar staff and the band. It was time to go. I left with a cd and a business card. What was the band called? I'm not sure. I was told two different names, and the cd they gave me had a third on it. They were "El Toro Loco", "BrokedDickDog" or "Speed Dial: Love", but anyway you look at it they were brilliant. Fuck, I'm not even sure they were real.

I loved this post, made me laugh at how your judgement and view of people is strikingly similar to the way i (and probably many others) view people. My only concern is that I might one day be one of the odd people with a simple description in your or someone else's conversation/blog post.

your posts are better and a hell of a lot more satisfying than any novel, documentary, or short story I've ever read...
you tie with "beautiful boy"- that's my favorite.
they're just real and raw...and often change my perception when i listen to your music.
i just can't seem to read your blog without somehow connecting it to my life and really contemplating what you say. you always say the right thing...but it's not put into the words. it becomes the final product of everything you say.
do you even plan on that happening when you write your thoughts?
but i don't know, maybe i'm just thinking too much, and taking what you say too close to heart. is that what you intend? - January 20, 2009 at 6:48 PM

That was a hilarious read. Seriously, consider writing a book that is entirely your observations of people in public places. Go sit in bars, coffee shops, malls, etc for a couple months and bring a notebook. At the very least, write a song about it.

Citizens for St. Patrick's continues fight to save historic Watervliet church
WATERVLIET — It'll still be a couple days before a legal ruling is made on whether St. Patrick's Church can be demolished prior to the conclusion of the pending litigation.
Court testimony and submission of evidence continued Tuesday at Albany County Court before Hon. Kimberly O'Connor, acting supreme court justice for the third district. The plaintiff, in this case the Citizens for St. Patrick's, is requesting a preliminary injunction to preserve the church and make sure no other developments go on the site – the short term goal for this is to prevent demolition while the trial ensues and eventually to block it permanently.
Meave Tooher, the attorney for the Citizens on Tuesday, said that a full environmental review of the site still needed to be conducted and that the negative declaration given on the SEQRA/environmental impact was not applicable for the 3.5 acre property on 19th Street.
But the plaintiff had a rough start on Tuesday since both the defense, including the property's owner Nigro Companies/PCP Watervliet LLC, and the judge pointed out that the plaintiff had not reserved the right to reply and did not inform the court about evidence that the plaintiff tried to submit.
Paul Goldman, the attorney for the city of Watervliet, said they eventually agreed on what documents could be submitted. But he said the Citizens had a "big problem" since they never formally requested relief to stop the demolition of the church, which is slated to become a grocery store with adjacent commercial properties and a large parking lot.
It was said in court that asbestos removal at the church would likely finish by the end of this week.
The property, sold to the developer by the parish and Albany Diocese, was stripped of the church's cross and Meneely bell last week and a temporary restraining order to restrain demolition was not granted.
At this juncture, officials said that all the evidence and testimony had been submitted and that the judge should make a decision in the coming days. If the preliminary injunction is granted, the Citizens would have to pay a bond for an amount set by the judge, said Goldman. "Absent a restraining order or a preliminary injunction, Nigro is not restrained," he said.
Pieces of St. Patrick's could get second life
In preparation of possible demolition, an ad to sell the bricks, wood, and limestone from the 1890 religious structure was put on Craigslist on Feb. 18 by the company handling the demolition. Continued...
The ad does not mention St. Patrick's by name but shows various parts of the building and grounds. It says they are selling "historical red bricks from an old church."
The owners of Dan's Hauling and Demolition acknowledged that the future of the church, as far as whether it will be razed or not, is in flux due to the pending litigation.
"We are under contract but we cannot commit to the sale of the items until a judgment is made," said Dan Wolfe Sr. "We are not 100 percent certain it will be demolished."
The bricks are advertised as being about $1 each. Dan Wolfe Jr., who runs the Wynantskill-based company with his father, said that the prices on the items — if demolition is upheld— would vary depending on the quantity.
There are about 1 million bricks at the site, he estimated.
The items could be used by masons who want old bricks to match certain projects. They are not planning to sell them as mementos, said the younger Wolfe.
Christine Bulmer with the Citizens for St. Patrick's called the ad "premature."

I'm working on an application which has both component and integration tests. The differences between them is: a component test test more than one class (i.e., its inner objects aren't all mocked out - but some of them might be [such as JMS publishers]) and an Integration test is a test that nothing at all is mocked out. In another words, Spring gives you the object and you test it as it is.
So far, so good.
The problem is: in order to be able to replace one dependency or another from the Spring context, I used Springockito (https://bitbucket.org/kubek2k/springockito/wiki/Home) which offers you a way to mock out some beans from the Spring context.
So - in the component tests - I have this:
Bean has SomeServiceInterface as a depedency.Code:@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @DirtiesContext(classMode = AFTER_CLASS) @ContextConfiguration(loader = SpringockitoContextLoader.class, locations = "classpath:spring-classify-test.xml") public class.... @Autowired @ReplaceWithMock private SomeServiceInterface someServiceInterface; @Autowired private Bean bean;
In the case above, SomeServiceInterface concrete implementation will be replaced by a mock. Of course, that example is an oversimplification of the problem - I replace beans with mocks that are dependecies further down in the object graph.Code:public class Bean { private SomeServiceInterface...
It's worthy noticing that I load the context from this file: spring-classify-test.xml Also it's wothy noticing that I mark the context as dirty after the execution of the class - so, AFAIK, the next test class must reload the context.
Ok, now the integration test:
I load the context from spring-service-integration-test.xml - but SomeServiceInterface inside of Bean is still mocked! The context used in the integration test was changed as well!Code:@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration(loader = SpringockitoContextLoader.class, locations = { "classpath:/spring-service-integration-test.xml" }) public ... @Autowired private Bean bean;
If I mark the Integration test with @DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD), the first test in the class will fail because SomeServiceInterface is mocked - but the next test will pass because the context has been refreshed already.
Funny thing is:
If I ask Spring to inject SomeServiceInterface in the Integration Test, it will inject a SomeServiceInterface concrete implementation - not a mock!
I have tried many things to sort out that issue:
1) Programatically override the beans in the context after the component tests are done using the registerBeanDefinition method from the context
2) Create a TestExecution listener so I could try to manuallty refresh the context before the execution of an IntegrationTest - did not fix.
3) Use the same loader for the different contexts....
4) Go on and on.
Does anyone have any idea?

DTS Devotional
Jesus Is Coming!
Author: Kenneth O. Gangel
Week of May 19, 2013
1 John 2.28-3:3
How can Christians make right choices between worldliness and holiness? The coming of the Lord helps motivate us to select and live out righteous behavior. If we really believe that the Lord could come again at any time, we would behave in ways that would please Him (1 John 2:28-3:3). This includes living so that we will be "confident and unashamed before Him" (2:28), having done "what is right" (v. 29), and leading pure lives (3:3).
John expressed amazement at the kind of love it would take for us to become the children of God. Yet "that is what we are." Unsaved people cannot understand the reality of the new birth; they do not know Christ experientially. But those born of God, who live in His likeness, understand the spiritual nature. Through sanctification they become more like the Lord as they wait for His return.
And that return offers hope—the hope of seeing our blessed Saviour face to face. These wonderful verses emphasize the fact that a genuine expectancy of Christ's return will lead the true believer to self-examination, cleansing from sin, and a life of holiness (cf. 2 Cor. 5:10).

Hosted PBX systems (true Voice Over IP–VOIP) have been around for many years. In the business world companies like Warner Consulting Group have been using them since early 2000. Hosted gives the business a lower cost to entry and more flexibility in troubleshooting, product, and control of the system. Hotels were not able to adapt as many companies were not prepared for PMS or POS interfaces, call accounting, and a few other hospitality specific products. As with any technology, things are finally coming around.
Our difficulty in being an early adopter was the basic principle of competition. If the company we went with did not succeed, the hotel had few to no options. The primary success of these companies in 2011 will be that there finally is competition giving the hotel redundancy in providers if one should fail. Given the economic climate (companies going in and out of business) and development of the technology this is no longer the case. We have competition.
One key factor in the validity of the product now is maturity. Like any technology, it needed to go through its growing pains. With the bugs behind us hotels now can implement the technology with some confidence of a working product. The other key factor is cost. Hosted PBX system cost less than a traditional phone system and allow hotels to save money on their monthly expenses as well. There are many pieces and parts that make up this statement but on the whole, less money for a like product.
The hosted PBX is still not for every hotel. Full service properties have more difficulty given the complexity of the property. How, limited service seem to fit the profile of a hosted PBX given the fewer amount of rooms, interfaces, and simplicity of the property. If you are looking to replace a phone system or install a new one, consider a hosted PBX in your proposals. If your phone system is working fine, stick with it as long as you can.

The Stacker Bedside Table Hack
Materials: 1 Corras Bedside Table
Description: 2005.... The year I purchased this Ikea Corras bedside table. After purchasing new side tables a few years ago... this was moved into a closet. Last weekend, I decided it was time to throw it out....
My husband wheeled it outside and left it on the back porch till trash day.
Two days later...I was sitting on the porch looking at the table when it happened. I had a vision! To repurpose my Ikea Corras bedside table into a wall shelf unit. I never thought I'd have "the gift" to hack Ikea!
I located my very handy husband James and asked, "Will you slice this in half for me?
With my vision and his skills.. we started by removing the casters, then James measured and pencil marked the center lines equally all the way around the table. He used a circular saw to slice it in half. He then measured, marked and sliced the adjustable shelf.
He screwed the top half (from the inside using 1 3/4 inch screws) to the bottom half joining the two halves together. He screw small strips of strapping metal on the backs of each corner on both halves to reinforce them. He put four 3 inch L brackets on the wall and screwed the unit in place.
Corras bedside table (Original) measurements: 15d x 20w x 20h
Corras Stacker (Hack) measurements:
7 1/2d x 20w x 40h
I'm very proud of my (our) first Ikea hack ;)

This looks amazing. Another suggestion would have been to mount both parts separately on the wall with some space in he middle .
Just a thought .. This looks great as is- AnonymousNovember 29, 2011 9:22 AM
Your first picture makes it look like it is sunk in between the studs. Hmm I might have to explore this opportunity. Great hack!!

Would've looked a bit more "integrated" if the bottom of the 2nd (upper) unit had veen left out. Or, the top of the lower unit; same thing.

Ypsilantian: The well-known Wat- ling farm at the southern border of this city, probably tho most valuable farm in the county, has been sold to G. January Crop Report. For this repoi-t returns have been received from 783 correspondents, representing 624 townships. Five hundred and fifteen of these: reports are from 388 townships in the southern four tiers of counties, and 157 reports are .front 135 townships in the central counties. The average temperature during December was quite uniformly below the normal for this month, there was very little of "freezing and thawing,": and the ground during the greater part of the month was covered very lightly; with snow. In the ^southern counties 69 correspondents report that the ground was well covered during the month, and 427 that it was not; and in the state 94 correspondents report it to have been well covered, and 658, that it was not. Wheat has been somewhat injured but not seriously. In the southern counties 152 correspondents, in the central 43, and in the northern 16, report that it was injured during the month, while 327 correspondents in the Southern counties, 101 in the central and 76 in the northern, report that it was not injured. On the 31st of December and on January 1st there was rain generally throughout the state. This was immediately followed by a cold wave, and the ground since then has been frozen, and part of the time lightly protected with snow. Reports have been received of the quantity of wheat marketed by farmers during the month of December at 402 elevators and mills. The total number of bushels reported marketed is 1,080,- 501. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in August, September^ October, November and December is 7,730,372, or about 33 per cent of the crop of 1890. The nunber of bushels reported marketed in the same months of 1889 was 6,906,039 or 82 per cent of the crop of 1S89. A SINGER'S ROYAL GUEST. How Madame Albani Entertains Queen Victoria at an Informal Tea. Once every summer Queen Victoaia drives over from her Balmoral Castle to the Scottish Highlands home of Madame Albani-Gye, the famous prima- donna, where the latter entertains her her at an informal tea. For years the Queen has made a practice of this, a compliment which Her Majesty bestows upon no other woman in the kindom. It is a return for Madame Albani's appearance each year at Court to sing before the Queen, and to theprima-donna it affords an exceptional glimpse of England's royal sovereign. "So outsiders are ever present," says Madame Alhaiii, "and I see Victoria as woman; never as a queen." "How do you entertain your royal guest?" was asked of the prima-donna by a friend. And for more than an hour the great singer held the uninterrupted interest of a private dinner-party with the story of how She served a tea for the Queen. So full of interest was the narrative that Madame Albani was induced to write out the account, and it will shortly appear in The Ladies' Home Journal, of Philadelphia, under the title of "Victoria at My Tea-Table." Of its freshness of interest the caption of the article is the best indication. A copy of the last portrait taken of Queen Victoria, and printed only for Her Majesty and the royal family, will accompany the article. "It will he my last portrait,"' wrote the Queen on this [presentation copy, which is the only copy possessed outside of the royal household. - The Wages Big Men Earn, satisfaction. Respect fully, E.H.CRESSY, Wallace Block. Sqme of tlip ppopte in the financial and commercial circles are telling of a movement among certain employers and heads of great houses to cut down salaries for the ensuing year, says the New York Sun. This line of policy has been dictated, it is" said, by the events of the last few months, and it has opened up a most interesting discussion about the big salaries paidhere, Chauncey Depew has always been very reticent as to his salary as president of the New York Ceni ral, but others who appear to he familinr; with his income say that he certainly receives from the New York Central S75,- 000 a year and that he makes from his outside legal practice an additional of §25,000, making his total income §100,- 000 a year. This may seem an exorbitant sum to pay a man whose career "by most folks is thought to be one of -un- alloj-ed pleasure. But Mr. Depuy does not receive the $75,000 from the New York Central in remuneration for any severe manual strain on his part, but for his comprehensive knowledge of "he affairs of that Company and his ability to direct them with the least possible friction. Mr. Depew's office from early morning till late at night is filled with all fipi'ts qf questiqns,, and the man who receives the'hig salary he does must he able to answer them most satisfactorily, and always in the interests of the New York Central.

These business skills are complimented by a general education program that includes writing skills, public speaking, psychology, math and science courses to develop the whole student.
Potential Careers and Earnings
Administrative Assistants and Coordinators take on many responsibilities previously reserved for managers. These include preparation of presentations, spreadsheets, event planning and report writing. They often plan and coordinate meetings, collect and distribute information, update web sites, conduct research and manage projects. The options and opportunities are as varied as the list of for profit and non-profit businesses within the area of job pursuit.
Administrative jobs as described above are expected to grow at a rate of 9% over the period from 2006-2016*
Median salary for Administrative Assistants in May 2006 was $37,240.* Entry level positions for students with an Associate degree in Business Administration in the Boston area could expect to earn between $22,000 and $30,000** depending on the job and the industry. Higher levels of education typically draw higher salary levels.
Donna Brady
Donna Brady is a Certified Public Accountant licensed to practice accounting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accountancy at Northeastern University, where she graduated with honors. Additionally she holds two masters degrees, one in taxation from Bentley University and one in Applied Management from Lesley University. She has over 20 years teaching experience, which includes adjunct teaching positions at Bentley University, Suffolk University and Western New England College. For the past 10 years she has taught Accounting and Tax courses at Fisher College. Donna has been working in the field of accounting for over 35 years. Her experience ranges from starting as a Bookkeeper at a small high tech company to becoming a Supervisor at the international accounting firm, Coopers and Lybrand (now Price Waterhouse Coopers).
"In 1988 after working in industry for many years, I made the decision to establish an Accounting firm. While I was trying to build a client base, I decided to teach on a part time basis. I immediately fell in love with teaching and the students that I taught. It was a wonderful combination of practicing in a profession that I truly enjoyed and being able to introduce the subject of accounting and taxation to students. Because I have been a practitioner for a number of years, my approach to teaching is hands-on. I believe that students benefit from hearing about real life situations. Since the day that I started, I have loved teaching accounting at Fisher College. Over the years, I have had students from all over the United States and the World. I have come to know most of them on a personal level and have learned about their culture and background. Also, I have met a number of students that have the same background as me. In fact many of them graduated from the same high school that I did, Cambridge High and Latin (now Cambridge Rindge and Latin)".
John Hogan
John Hogan teaches accounting and finance courses at Fisher College. He possesses over 17 years of teaching experience and has previously taught at Newbury College, Dean College, Northeastern University and Babson College. During his career in financial services, John co-founded the fund administration department at Brown Brothers Harriman, a major custodian bank, where he was employed for ten years. Prior to his employment at BBH, he worked at The New England, Moseley Hallgarten, Estabrook and Weeden and Shawmut Bank.
"Before joining the faculty at Fisher College, I was fortunate to have had a 28 year career in financial services. My first position was as a portfolio accountant at a small Boston mutual fund company. From there, I moved to a much larger company that competed in the banking arena. Subsequently, my career path took me to employment at small, medium and larger companies in both individual contributor and management roles. In 1994, I became an adjunct instructor in accounting and finance and immediately found that I loved doing that job more than my primary position. I find teaching at Fisher College is truly rewarding and something that I love to do. I am able to use my business experience to educate students on how the business world operates and to help them develop the accounting and finance skills needed to navigate through the dynamic and evolving business environment."
Neil Trotta
Professor Neil Trotta teaches the following courses in the Division of Management and Public Service: Marketing, Operations Management, Human Resource Management, Strategic Management and Senior Project. Mr. Trotta earned his MBA from Western New England College and spent over 10 years in the healthcare staffing industry in the areas of sales, marketing and sales management. Neil spent the bulk of his time as the Director of National Accounts selling to "C" level executives at major healthcare systems across the United States.
"My aspiration to share my knowledge came while I was working in the corporate world. I had an opportunity to look back at my education and decided I could provide a hands on and practitioners approach to teaching. For over a decade I have had the pleasure of teaching both traditional students and the adult learners where I use real-world and personal experiences to enhance the learning process."

This reliable stability runner was designed for the mild to moderate overpronator who needs additional medial support and stability, but still craves extra cushioning and a smooth ride. Main Features
Additional InformationThe Structure Triax+ 15 still delivers all of the cushioned support and stabilizing mechanisms of the preceding versions that runners have come to expect while adding slight modifications and improving on the comfort, stability and overall ride. The upper has seen a decrease in seams as well as less foam in the collar and tongue which decreases bulk. Strategically placed Flywire in the midfoot and heel panels attaches to the laces for ultra-strong and ultra-lightweight support. The result is an snugger, more secure fit. |

Google Places: The Best Path to Service Marketing Success For Orem Carpet Cleaners
In the past, marketing for Orem carpet cleaners has been limited to yellow pages and coupon packs. It can be an expensive proposition to gain substantial exposure through either of these marketing mediums. This has recently been complicated by the fact the yellow pages are rapidly becoming extinct.
Local business searches are rapidly transitioning to the Internet. According to a SMX study, 77% of all local business searches are done online. This statistic is only going to increase over the next couple of years, and this means that it is essential that Orem carpet cleaners adapt to these market changes. So the question is; how do you adapt, and what is the online comparable to the yellow pages? It's called Google Places.
If you have ever done a Google search for any type of local business, you will find a list populates that is Geo targeted to your location. For example, if a potential customer in Orem, Utah were to type in the keyword "carpet cleaners", it will automatically detect location, and list the closest service providers. If they were to type in "Orem Carpet Cleaners", It would automatically bring up a list of carpet cleaners in Orem, Utah. Now one might say; "What's the big deal, aren't these just normal Internet listings?". At first they may appear that way, but in reality, they are very different. Google Places listings appear above normal listings, so all the ranking magic that SEO companies try to sell, has become obsolete in local searches.
Google Places listings are also tied to a customizable business web page that Google has set-up for virtually every existing off line business. If you are an Orem carpet cleaner and have not claimed your page, it is likely there waiting for you. It is very easy to complete, and if used properly, it can be like having a full yellow pages ad, without the thousands of dollars typically attached to that old school marketing medium.
So the next question is; how does an Orem carpet cleaner get the equivalent full yellow page ad on Google Places? The answer to that evolves four essential marketing components including:
1. Page Placement-
According to an I cross Study, 95% of all online searches never go beyond page one. So if your Google Places listing is beyond that, you have virtually no chance of getting that business. Ideally, you want your listing to be as high up as possible on page one of the search.
2. Reviews-
A very important component to a Google Places page is the opportunity for your customers to review your service. This is critical for ranking purposes as well as the reputation of your business. Reviews can make or break your business in a big way. According to a Jupiter Research study, 78% of online shoppers use reviews in selecting a business. For this reason, a business must be aware of, and very proactive in assuring those reviews are positive. In addition, the quantity and quality of the reviews is a big factor in driving your listing to the top.
3. Effective Places Page-
Places pages give a business the opportunity to promote their services through pictures, videos, coupons, maps, and a link to website. A complete and effective places page is important in ranking, but also in selling your services.
4. Optimization Strategy-
While traditional search engine optimization is obsolete with Google Places. This new system has its own rules for ranking that a professional can help you with.
For the businesses that manage to meet and capitalize on these criteria, the results can be nothing short of phenomenal. Imagine your business listing on top of page one, with dozens of 5 star reviews. Take that one step further by imagining all surrounding Orem carpet cleaners having minimal, and even negative reviews. The result being, your business leaps off the page. Back to the full yellow page ad; the potential of this dwarfs it, and best of all, it's free.
So how does a carpet cleaner go about achieving these results? There is some good information and books on it, but Google is constantly changing their rules, so a book or Internet information can be obsolete very quickly. For best results there are marketing firms that specialize in Google Places. These firms keep up with the latest changes and strategies, and some can get you to the top of page one with dozens of great reviews fairly quickly. If you are serious about capitalizing on the massive movement to local online marketing, it will be the best marketing investment you ever make.
Hundreds or even thousands of people are searching for Orem carpet cleaners every month. Can you imagine all the business you would derive from virtually making your competitions listings invisible to every one of those searches? That's the power of a well-managed Google Places Listing. Seize the opportunity, and you will dominate the Orem carpet cleaning market.

We have made a little XMB mod for the 3.55 XMB that we call XMB File Manager (XMBFM). It is a modded version of Rebug's package manager which in turn is a modded version of the official install packages option/XMB icon, Our version allows the entire ps3 filesystem to be browsed and also any files types can be seen and deleted, we also planning on adding a lot more to the Manager and maybe building in the SaveData/Gamedata options to tidy up the XMB game category. We are hoping to add things like copy function etc too but would like to get feedback and help if anyones game?
Already got some nice devs helping out since this was originally posted, Bitsbubba, PS3hen, Andreus , abuser , aldostools and more!
Im told the latest version also works fine on most if not all 3.41/3.55 based FWs (even on 4.00 OFW, probably works on every OFW ever made if its added to the relevant xmls from that FW, to clarify : I dont mean this exact version would work on any FW, but it probably could be ported to any OFW quite easily with a text editor and rcomage!) I havnt tested it on anything except Rebug 3.55.2 CFW myself, Its been confirmed working on 3.55 kmeaw , 3.55OFW, 3.55Cobra , 3.55 TB etc, 3.41 Hermes , Worst case senario you would need to reinstall your FW through recovery menu if its not compatible with your FW.
This is a beta version for anyone who might be interested in helping us test it or improve on it. Any Ideas/suggestions on more things to add to it, let us know
Options available so far in v0.06c
- ★PS3Crunch Release Thread A link to this thread for now as a POC idea to have it link to an info page on the web. planning to exapnd this into links to lots of GOOD ps3 sites.
- ★Life with playstation is a WIP option to allow the filemanager to update itself by downloading its own package to hdd and installing automatically (like F@H)
- ★PS Vita Utility is a POC idea for being able to at least delete ps vita gamedata from ps3, for now its a clone of ps3 gamedata, Im waiting until I get my Vita before i look at this again
- ★Custom PS3 Filesystem Manager is the main cool addition that allows all drives on the system to be browsed and any files types deleted (dev_flash files cant be deleted unless it is mounted as something else, eg. dev_blind)
- ★Rebug Package Manager The other three options are the same as included in Rebugs Package Manager so Ill quote cyberskunk from Rebug.me
Install instructions: It requires you to switch 3 files from dev_flash. heres a quick tut:Originally Posted by Cyberskunk (Team Rebug)
- I use multiman , go to settings near the bottom of menu.
- select the mount dev_flash to dev_blind option. click enable
- next go to multiman file manager
- copy over the 3 files to thier different locations
- category_game.xml and category_game_tool.xml go in dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/
- explore_plugin_full.rco goes in dev_blind/vsh/resource/
- next disable dev_blind option in multiman
- then exit multiman to see your new XMB File Manager
- none of this applies if there is a package version available of course, then its as simple as installing a package (based on Rebugs package manager installer and ported to XMBFM by Bitsbubba) and running it and selecting your FW version and icon set
This is fairly safe and I have even tested deleting most of dev_flash before and its easy reinstall FW through recovery menu so dont worry, just make sure you are on some version of 3.55/3.41 (or 4.00 for ps3hens version but flasher required, no pkg)
Have fun and let us know if you have any ideas on how we could expand it by adding things like copy function etc
Big massive thanks to Cyberskunk and Evilsperm (Team Rebug) for the Package Manager mods which this is based on. And also for Rebug CFW.. its my favourite!
I have a little idea for an addition to your official package manger : Add an "information" link inside it that opens the browser and goes straight to Rebug.me site or your support forum on PS3crunch
Big thanks to PS3hen who has confirmed its still working on OFW4.00, He has built it into his impressive 4.00HFW (Flasher required for 4.00 install). Also for the icon updates and more
Big thanks to Bitsbubba for making the latest versions into pkg files and plenty more!(pkg file based on the package manager installer, thanks Rebug )
Big thanks to Andreus for joining us and bringing a much deeper understanding of the ps3 xmls to the project, lots of new improvments are down to him, really getting somewhere now.
We would of course like this to become even more of a collaboration if anyones interested, no E-fame to be had here , this is about making something useful for everyone while also being as open as possible and showing everyone our progress, i hope this will inspire others to help on this project or start thier own xmb additions.
Heres a bit of a to do list that we would like to add (if these things are actually possible) ,we will update and repost every so often after adding suggestions and bug fixes
- Adding Copy/rename functions for all filetypes (complicated but hopefully we can)
- Proper names for all the partitions (easy but will take some time)
- Proper icons for all the partitions (easy but we need to code the above entires first, can use icons already in FW when thats done)
- A custom icon for XMBFM on XMB (ill leave this up to someone else)
- Finish off the built in updater and get a direct link set up for the pkg files like sonys.
- Get the information option linking to a dedicated info page which we need to write and get hosted (or we can also just build in a info page but i like the idea of being able to update it without updating the app)
- Add a new category for favourite ps3 scene websites so they can have a direct link on the xmb inside the Filemanager, like PS3Crunch , rebug.me, ps3 dev wiki, etc.
- move the PS3 gamedata and save data icons/options inside the file manager to tidy up the Game category.
- Adding the ability to download unknown filetypes to the internal HDD
- Move Rebug Package Manager into its own sub category inside XMBFM so its like it was before.
- Not sure about the stars in the menu, I think its a cool way of keeping track of whats not a standard retail option for now, but if too many get added they will get annoying.
-★ UPDATE 1: Released v0.04 with 2 versions, one for normal retail xmb, and one for rebug/debug xmb.
-★ UPDATE 2: It has been confirmed working on all 3.55 based FWs so far such as Kmeaw CFW, Rebug , Cobra etc, No major bugs have been reported so far on any FW.
-★ UPDATE 3: ps3hen has confirmed this also works on OFW4.00 and has made a video showing it running (currently only way to install is by building it into a 4.00 pup and updating from 3.55 )
-★ UPDATE 4: PS3Crunch member Bitsbubba has updated the latest v0.04 to be installed Via package (0.05 i think?)instead of manually, hes also updated it to show in ingame XMB and updated it to show in all languages. GREAT WORK!
-★ UPDATE 5: Released v0.06 - attached below (not in a pkg, manual install for now) Started adding a WIP ps vita manager. changed somethings around. After installing this version you will notice your Remote Play description is updated to look like the latest 4.00 version as ive taken newer messages out of 4.00 rco files , just cosmetic but still, I like it! Also Ive had a very nice idea for the next release .
-★ UPDATE 6 : Released a v0.06c category_game.xml (attached below)
- This update will only show up in the retail menu.
- Have now added a "Information" link above all the others inside the XMBFM, it opens the browser and links to this thread!
- Also added a built in XMBFM updater section that is based on the F@H download section from network xmls, ive now got it so it will download a pkg for me from brewology
- but it wont install it yet, errors out at start of install , I need a direct pkg link to some signed homebrew to test, anyone??
-★ UPDATE 7: attached a better download of v0.06c so its easier for people to install, Just swap the 3 files contained in LATEST.PS3.XMBFM.zip and thats it.
-★ UPDATE 8: Bitsbubba has done his thing again and updated XMBFM to 0.08a with some nice improvements, and hes also made it into a pkg for us, geat work , now new updates show in all languages, ingame xmb and includes PS3hens new icons. also now working on 3.41, NICE!
-★ UPDATE 9: New contributer Andreus has streamlined the code and come up with some handy shorter ways of doing things, also commented the xmls to make them easier for everyone to understand , and now Bitsbubba has packaged it up for us too in ver 0.08b Download link below.
-★ UPDATE 10: Andreus has updated the filesystem browser section to have icons and better decriptions etc, its a lot nicer looking now (see latest pics attached). Also i have moved the Gamedata/savedata sections, into the XMBM and updated some other icons/titles etc. Manual install on this version for now, link below. v0.08 is still latest version in a pkg.

Icon update : Ps3hen has made a nice icon for xmb using the PS Plus symbol! also he has posted a link to a tool for people to convert icons to gim files for use on PS3! Ive attached both the original and ps3hens here for now. Ive also started work on some custom icons for the package installer section
Sorry it doesnt allow copying yet, Im hoping some devs will help me with that bit as I know nothing about code. In theory if only the xmls/rcos are modifed to allow copying all filetypes then it would probably work fine on all OFW as these text files are only calling on functions that are already available to them, that is the reason I think this File Manager is so cool and should be developed more, because it will "RUN" on ANY OFW in theory, but I need some help or adding features like copying and renaming etc to all file types is not going to happen! If it does happen it would be a very handy tool for exploiting 4.00+ OFW wouldnt it?? A small example, being able to write the xRegistry.sys file on pc and write it onto console etc
