Default OT: My 993 picture on my iPhone wallpaper

Ok, ok, so I know I am a real geek, but I thought some folks here might enjoy this, especially since it seems a lot of fellow RL'ers also have iPhones...

Since I was already having fun with it, I wanted to take it just one step further...

In case anyone is curious, for the second pic, all I did was rename one of my songs in iTunes and start it playing on the iPhone. The text is really just a song title. Not too difficult at all. The hardest part was rushing to do it all before the time hit 9:12PM.

Ok ... Porsche wallpaper on iPhone ... no big deal.

Changing the name of a song to "Porsche: There is no substitute" ... getting there.

Rushing to get it done so the time reads 9:11 ... now THAT's a geek (although you could always set your clock back a few minutes ....).

Well done. Embrace your inner geek.

IIRC you press the power button on the top of your phone and while holding it down briefly press the home button. Then release the power button. The screen will flash white and you find your screenshot in the camera roll.

Default Two ways...

Thanks!

What Nuff said was correct. There are actually two ways to do it...

The iPhone 2.0 software update, released in July, added the ability to take a screenshot by quickly pressing the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together. The iPhone screen will flash momentarily and the screenshot pic will be added to your iPhone's camera roll in the Photos app. For more information, see:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/tips/#camera_takingpictures

The second way is to download the free iPhone SDK Developer Tools (http://developer.apple.com/) and use the Organizer window in the Xcode development app to capture an image of your iPhone screen. I am not a developer, but I had fun playing around with this.

Here is more info on both of these methods...

Have fun!

Thank you, guys!

(I'm going to do the same thing, but instead of 9:11, I'm going to wait until 9:93.)

Try 9:11 am on Sept 93rd... it's only a few weeks away so please post pics when you have them.
