Too Good to be True?

Apparently, Verizon Wireless is changing its policy on tethering laptops & PDAs to mobile phones for data connectivity! Users of high-end, high-speed data capable phones will be able to use their mobile phone as a modem for their laptop. This is good news for those on Verizon!

Kudos to Verizon for making this policy change – I would be surprised if they did not see an increase in subscribers of data plans. This is one of the reasons that I would never consider Verizon in the past, with this change Verizon is becoming a viable alternative if I leave T-Mobile.

Now we just need to work on their pricing! 🙂

Sbp Diary 1.7 Released

Today Spb Software House released Spb Diary 1.7:

February 2, 2006, Spb Software House announces the release of Spb Diary 1.7. Spb Diary is a feature-rich Today plug-in for your Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes and Messages. It enhances Pocket Outlook by gathering all of your PIM information in one place. The new version introduces a bundle of new features like the Messages Tab, an auto-height adjustment feature, native birthdays support and integration with Spb Finance as well as improved speed, better usability in the Notes Tab and many other changes.

Personally I use SBSH Software’s PocketBreeze which was on the market first, and has quite a long history. However, Spb is known for their quality software solutions and the integration between their products.

Fixed some things

OK, I’ve fixed a few things here on my blog that were bothering me – just needed to take the time and find where to change the code in the template. I’ve updated the Permalink so it says “Permalink” instead of the time – thats bothered me for quite awhile. Next I changed the title so it always links to the permalink as well – call me something-retentive. Also, I added a small bit to place the any title link I add to the bottom of the post called “link”. Finally, I added a link & logo for w.blogger, which I find to be a very nice tool for posting – even at work.

When I get a few minutes, I’m going to see if there is an easy way to add Technorati tags to the bottom of each post as well – or at least to the tech-releated posts.

I’m Still Here…

While I ramble a bit on this post, I’m using IE7 Beta 2. Looking good, and an improvement over previous betas. I’m not posting here much, but am staying busy on my other blogs.
The new features added to Spaces is nice, but it still is not camparable to professional blogging software like WordPress (I’m convinced its the best).
Busy at work, busy at home, busy trying to launch Rick 2.0 (warning geek humor), and finding that there is just not enough time in the day. Many challenges at work, many projects that I’m all of a sudden becoming the Project Manager on – be carefull of what you wish for.
The challenges are great because it allows me to grow and learn every day (sometimes every minute!), and keeps pushing the boundaries that I thought werer further down the path for me professionally. More and more I wonder if just limiting myself to IT is the answer to my professional growth. Of course its not, but a person is hesitant to make too many changes or too drastic a change as it is uncomfortable to think of failing.
At any rate, its fun to be challenged!
