Howto connect Mini-USB plug to HTC phone

I ordered a power adapter for my amazing little Android developer phone aka HTC Dream last week. When I unpacked it, I was a little disappointed because it looked like it was the wrong plug to be delivered, namely a conventional Mini-USB plug rather than a HTC ExtUSB one. I contacted the seller and complained, but he was desperately trying to convince me that it would work. Lucky enough, before making a total fool of me, I gave it a second try - and voila, it works! To document this, I recorded a demonstration video (of rather poor quality, better turn of sound) - to help my seller argue, and to convince other people that it works after all.

So empty ...


After starting this blogger site (and, well, saving this name I really like), I was heading back to my old blog site at JRoller, although it isn't that slick to work with as blogger is. Coming back here after some time now, I realized a couple of things:
  • this blog is desperately empty
  • the UI and publishing / linking options are really great here
  • if you're already googlenized (using GMail, Reader , GTalk, Docs and what not), it is so easy for Google to track my hole life to connect things nicely
  • sooner or later my brandnew adp1 phone will have a blogger client, I bet
  • I should spend more time blogging....
I'm seriously considering to move my useless thoughts here, but I'm not convinced yet.
