Thoughts and things I care to shareLong Week
Its been a long week at work, I’ve been so busy that I have not even kept up on any news events since the weekend. Couple of projects and the workload to support them is taking up a LOT of my time this week. Along with needing to follow up on some work other people are doing that is vital to my project, it makes for little time to do anything else.
Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up a bit tonight! We’ll see.
Cingular Fights Sale Of Customer Records
Mobile Burn has an article about Cingular’s battle against people illegally obtaining their customer call records.
My issues with news like this is that Cingular should have systems in place to prevent the ability of these records from getting out in the first place. Fine, procecute the people who have crossed the law, but the carriers also need to be held accountable for the leak in the first place.
Home Network
Well tonight I finally got down to the business of drawing out the overview of my current and future home network infrastructure. I’ve got plans for the obvious network attached storage, audio/video services, and wireless. Going into the future, I’m planning an offsite network with VPN connectivity to the home network. The offsite network would be used for backup purposes and remote access at that site.
I’d forgotten what other items I had planned for the network, but now I’ve got a nice Visio drawing of the basic architecture, and will supplement that with more detailed drawings as I rebuild each portion. The fun part will be the re-design with newer components that were not available when I first started my home network.
Anyway, there are so many new products out there, and new ways of doing things that I had to “invent” previously – it should be much simpler this time around!
SDIO TV Tuner Available
Pocket PC Thoughts has a post on a new SDIO TV Tuner available for PDAs. It supports NTSC & PAL, and should be publicly available in March. It supports Windows Mobile versions from 2002 to 5.0, so it should be compatible with most PPCs. Looks kind of interesting!
Verizon Limiting Bluetooth Again
An article over at Mobile Pipeline talks about Verizon not supporting bluetooth tethering of PDAs and Laptops to take advantage of EVDO in the new Palm Treo 700w. When will they learn?
Palm Treo 700w Review at InfoSync World
InfoSync World has posted a review of the new Palm Treo 700w. Don’t miss reading this one as their reviews are usually quite detailed.
Busy Week
Its been a busy this week, and I’ve not been able to post as much as I’d like. There’s been a small bit of news in the mobile industry – nothing like CES a week or so ago though, so I’ve not missed much. However, its dissapointing when a person can’t keep up on their favorite topics. I’ll be working to catch up today on some news and such though, and will be working on some more personal technical projects this weekend. Lots to do for a ‘slow’ January!
WISE Package Studio
We purchased WISE Package Studio 6 at work last month and I’m finally getting a chance to install and use it. Big product, with lots of options and new things to learn but It’ll be fun.
IT Meeting at Work
Well,
We spent the 1st half of the day in a departmental meeting at work, brought all the remote staff in and went over the usual departmental items for the quarter. Boring. Sometimes I wonder if the information presented at meetings like this is worthwhile. At any rate, there goes 4 hours that I’ll never get back.
Back at work
Well, vacation is over and I’m back at work. We’ve lots to do, projects taking up a lot of time so I’ve not posted the last day or so. Hopefully I’ll have a few minutes to go over some news and highlights before too long.
I hope the leadership of the Republican Party will take his word seriously. Because this is exactly right.
This is very simple: only Americans citizens should be allowed to vote in American elections.
The SAVE America Act is common sense, and we need to pass it now!
I don’t recall you complaining when gas was $5.00 under Biden.
Hypocrisy much?
