Life-hacking the T-Mobile MDA
So for all you T-Mobile owners out there, I’ve found a few fun ways to give your device a new lease on life. It’s true that we are all getting tired of the lack of 3G service by T-Mobile, or maybe the “long in the tooth” look & feel of Windows Mobile 5 and [...]
The one thing holding me to Microsoft Outlook
I’ve come to the conclusion that there is only one feature in Outlook that is holding me to it at the moment. Can you help convince me that it’s time to drop Outlook?
See, I’ve been a longtime user and proponent of Microsoft software. It’s actually really good software, and a decent value… for the [...]
Adobe AIR & Windows Vista
I’ve been enjoying some of the Adobe AIR apps during it’s development over the past year. Among several Twitter clients that have popped up in the last few months running on AIR, I’ve really enjoyed Twhirl.
Now, if you’re a Twitter user, you know that its a great way to share links and more. Works [...]
Latest today screen on my T-Mobile MDA
I think I’ve finally stumbled across my favorite Windows Mobile 6 today screen configuration. At least until I can get a new phone.
I have to admit that I’ve uninstalled all the software that I usually run. This is not a reflection on the software that I removed at all - I simply am [...]
A day in the build of the perfect laptop
Some of you know that I have no hesitation to re-format my system and install whatever version of OS that I influenced by at the time. Well, this time I really took the opportunity to re-build my laptop from the ground up.
The opportunity was created by some hardware purchases, a RAM upgrade to 4GB [...]
Back to the future (of Windows that is)
So I got just a little curious early this week about Windows XP performance over Windows Vista performance after reading how "bad" Vista performance has been described. Especially when reading (here, here, and here) about how Windows XP Service Pack 3 (still in beta) is supposed to have a pretty good performance boost over [...]
Riding the Vista Wave - Windows Deployment
That’s what my technical focus is for the next several months. I’ve been working on a Windows automated deployment environment for a client and will also be planning the next steps for them.
With that in mind, and the upcoming release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 along with Windows Server 2008, managed deployment [...]
OS Snob?
I’m sitting here tonight reading some interesting thoughts on all sorts of things. From wondering what the future direction of social networking is, to computer hardware to operating systems. The post over at TechCrunch about gOS has me thinking… are both us Windows and Mac OSX users snobbish over our OS?
They both have a [...]
Speech Recognition
It’s kind of interesting, I’ve been interested in speech recognition for many years. However, only recently has the technology really started to become useful. While it was included in Windows of XP, but I did little more than to test it out a little bit.
Obviously, speech recognition has been included in Windows Vista as [...]
New smartphone from HP
I’m not sure that I really trust HP to produce a good phone… why is that? I really enjoyed my HP iPaq h4155 a few years back, but everything since has been a disappointment. Please note that I haven’t bought an HP mobile device since the 4155, so my opinions are solely based on limited-time [...]
