Windows Vista Upgrade - A Recommendation

I’m just going to give out my recommendation as a blanket statement to everyone.  When you start seriously thinking of upgrading to Microsoft’s Windows Vista, simply plan on buying a new computer.
In the long run, you will be much, much happier with the result.  Unless you just bought a new computer and have the “coupon” [...]

Surviving without Windows - Day 20

So how have I been doing in my month-long quest to be Linux-only user for all December 2006?
Not as well as I had hoped.
Mainly its my fault for trying this in the wrong way. Instead of backing up my data, wiping my Windows partition and loading up Fedora Core 6 (FC6) like I had [...]


What is Palm doing now? - The Wireless Weblog

So is it that “confusing” about what Palm is doing with Garnet?  Yes they sold the operating system by spinning off the OS development arm as PalmSource.  Yes they’ve now licensed it back from Access, the Japanese company that purchased PalmSource in its entirety.

Phone Rebuild

Time for another phone rebuild.  I’ve got so much junk on it that it’s got a sync problem.  Definitely on the device, not an ActiveSync issue.
I’ll be moving from the Qtek 2.17 ROM to the latest T-Mobile USA ROM.  There are many new features in this ROM, even though it has its own flaws.
Again, I’ll [...]


Day of the Dash

Well, I’ve waited quite awhile to see a day like today.  You couldn’t get away from it!  Certainly, Cingular & Verizon have had days like this, but T-Mobile has always been treated like an also-ran when it comes to phones and service in the media.
But today was different - literally, everyone had coverage of [...]
