There is a new version of Skype for Pocket PC. I had posted previously about how Skype ran pretty poorly on the Wizard.
Well, this new release comes in a special “your device is slow” version. Make sure to grab the “low cpu” version. It definitely seems to work better (primarily because the old version barely [...]
Or “How to Write Code I Would Like.”
Be Consistent
The human mind is excellent at recognizing patterns. Use that to your advantage, write your code in a consistent style. Once your mind is use to it, it becomes much easier to spot syntactical errors at a glance (and possibly other “easy” mistakes).
Be Obvious, Be Explicit
Clever or [...]
Just a FYI, WEBrick doesn’t perform so hot on OpenWRT running on a Linksys WRT54GS.
It doesn’t appear to be a CPU problem. It seems like it could be the Ruby socket interface and maybe its interaction with the ulibc library. I may take a quick peek at it if I have the chance.
ApacheBench says it [...]
On Monday I got my newest toy, a Qtek 9100 (also known as the HTC Wizard). You can check out geek.com’s review for pictures. I haven’t used to too much yet but here are a couple of annoyances:
No decent SSH client. WTH? Great, I have a better SSH client on my Treo, but I can’t [...]
One of my “not quite get rich quick” ideas is online bookmark storage. Of course, the reason I’m not inclined to pursue it is because the market is just packed with competitors (delicious, Furl, Blinklist, Yahoo My Web). Competitors with a head start and most probably have more resources.
But the reason I’m inclined to pursue [...]
Ehhh. Again, not quite a switch, more of an “in addition”. And “switch” is so last year.
I’ve bitched about using Evolution (because we use Exchange at work). Well, it was the IT people’s turn to bitch. They were migrating to a new Exchange server, and the process died on my mail box. After some contortions [...]
… why do we still have ass software?
Lately, I’ve been getting more and more frustrated with Evolution. I run Linux on my desktop at work. We run Exchange. So I have but no choice to run Evolution. In general, Evolution is probably some sort of open source icon or something. But there [...]

The most annoying thing about using interface mods is having to go through and upgrade them all when Blizzard patches the game. Bleah.. I’ll do it some other day, which means I’ll avoid playing until I’ve upgraded them.
Ever since I got my first PDA (a 2nd generation Palm, when they were still called PalmPilots, actually 1st generation ones were called Pilots… anyways), I’ve wanted to write some sort of Mathematica/Derive like computer algebra systems for the platform. At the time, the Palms were running Motorola 68K based processors with 512K of [...]
