HÃ¼ttenwochenende im Zillertal

Nachdem unsere HÃ¼tte durch den VerpÃ¤chter nach mehr als 30 Jahren gekÃ¼ndigt wurde, wir dies wohl leider eins der letzten HÃ¼ttenwochenenden in der Form sein.
Das Wetter spielt zum GlÃ¼ck mit, so daÃŸ wir bei angenehmen Temperaturen ohne Regen zur Brindlingalm wandern konnten und hier gerade bei tollem Blick Ã¼ber das Zillertal entspannen kÃ¶nnen.

Force quit of an iPhone app on OS 3.0

So far I was lucky not to need this function but suddenly this morning Safari on my iPhone 3 GS did not load any page anymore. Even stopping Safari going back to the homescreen and restarting Safari did not help. All other apps loading data from the net were working properly, only Safari was unable to load any data.
Looking for a solution to this problem without having to restart the iPhone, I found a blog post explaining how to kill apps on iPhone OS 3.0, it’s quite simple if you know how:
Press the standby/power button until the “switch off” slider appears.
Then hold the Home button until the homescreen comes up.
That’s it. If you restart Safari now you are back where you were before it started misbehaving.
