The Perfect Cell Phone

Thursday, April 24th, 2003

(for me, anyways.. I think)
I would like to build my own cell phone. Because what I want of a cell phone is different from what the manufacturer have made or prototyped. When the Handspring Treos came out (and Sprint offered their $10 unlimited data plan), I perked up. The Treo 270/300 has a lot of what […]

Turning Out To Be A Pretty Good Week

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2003

(What are the rules for capitalizing a title?)
Anyways, so it’s turning out to be a pretty good week. First yesterday, I found my lost pen. It is one of those Fischer Space Pens. Nice and small, easy to carry — easy to loose too. I’d lost it a couple of weeks ago. I figured it […]

Google and PageRank

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2003

I recently installed the Google Toolbar. I’m still not use to it, and only occasionally make my searches from it. One thing that I do “use” is the PageRank bar graph. I visit a page, and I look up just out of curiosity. Well, my personal page here gets a 0. I guess nobody links […]

Projects and Webpages

Monday, April 21st, 2003

It seems that I have extra projects, and I am now behind corresponding projects. Who woulda thunk I’d have more projects than I could keep up with? Maybe I should hire a web master. Right.
Well this one isn’t that big of a project, and it’s pretty much done, though I’d like to add a couple […]

XML Lite

Thursday, April 17th, 2003

Well, a new version of XML Lite is up (belatedly). I know both of you readers were waiting impatiently for it. I suppose you can consider this version 1.0 (or maybe just 0.9). It’s pretty much done for my purposes, but the unit test is incomplete and there still may be bugs lurking in areas […]

Server Status

Tuesday, April 15th, 2003

So my server was out of service for a couple of days. I don’t really use it that much, but still found it incredibly annoying. I guess I use it for email. But it wasn’t just hte lack of email that I found annoying. It’s now on a new machine at a new data center. […]

Linux and Installing Software

Tuesday, April 8th, 2003

On Linux: I’ve bit the bullet, and installed Linux on my desktop. I’ve used Linux (and BSD) in the past on my servers, and have had no problems there. I’ve always felt that Linux was not ready for the desktop…. and I still it isn’t quite ready for the desktop. I’m running Gnome 2.2. I […]

User Interfaces

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2003

So I’m at the grocery store. And I tend to pay everything with plastic. I pay off every month, and don’t keep a balance. Plastic just makes it easier for me to track my expenses (and I don’t have to worry about cash or change). Anyways, at the end of the checkout procedure, you play […]
