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 [...]
This person has Linux booting on his Treo. That was just about the most exciting nerd news for me this week. From my last post, I think I prefer the Treo form factor over the Wizard’s form factor. Of course, the biggest problem with the Treo is the weak OS.
Linux solves many of the deficiencies [...]
Some observations:
I browse the web more than I did with my Treo 600. I don’t know if it is because of EDGE is the faster data speeds, the higher resolution display, the better fonts, the faster rendering, the better browser, or what. I just know that I find myself using the browser much more than [...]
The holiday season is upon us again and the retailers are itching for your cash. Around this time (earlier actually), people start asking me what I want for “Christmas”. Nobody I know is terribly Christian, but we all celebrate the commercialized version of Christmas — you know: eggnog, parties, gifts, Santa, trees, etc. In an [...]
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 [...]
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.
Maybe not quite a switch, since I barely have a Windows machine. But anyways, I am the proud owner of a 12 inch PowerBook now. I’ve only used it for 24 hours now, but I’m pleased with my experience so far. And I hope it will continue to please me for years to come since [...]
Months ago, I promised to review my Treo after I had had a proper chance to to use it and get over the judgement blinding lust. I guess I’m due to follow up on that promise.
I own a GSM Treo 600, unlocked. I am using it with T-Mobile in Los Angeles. When I was waiting [...]
I got my Treo 600 on Monday. It is a generic unlocked GSM model. But it doesn’t like my (very old) SIM (boo!). So I’m in a little bit more of a rush to get a new account (with a carrier with better data plans), and get a new SIM, and port my number over. [...]
It’s been some time since my last post. But life’s not all that exciting when you spend 8 hours a day working
I have, however, a new addition to my computing family. I recently purchased a Compaq X1000. My was a built to order machine so the specs don’t match up with what they show.
My [...]
