Another Orb Convert

I’ve talked about Orb before, the service that allows you to stream your own content to your mobile device from your home system(s).  MobHappy has a short article that covers Orb as well, drawing out some good reasons to look into it.

Okay, the fun begins tomorrow morning.

Our Disaster Recovery test starts mid-morning tomorrow and runs for 48 hours, and I’m going to try to blog as much of it as I can. What I plan to record here are my experiences, observations, and opinions.

In addition to me blogging DR, we created a DR Blog for the team. Suffice it to say, we will be running the “DR Blog” as proof-of-concept, and will review the usefulness at a later date. Future endeavors will be determined by the positive/negative feedback that this last-minute “test” will provide. As our DR Team blog is unique to this test and is proprietary to my employer, I’ll not post the URL here, but I will blog here about that blogging exercise and my opinions of it.

To me this is a huge step for our IT team, its the first time we have used blogging for a specific purpose, and the neat thing about it is that it was able to be put into play with a suggestion and 30 minutes of effort on my part to set it up on one of my own blogging accounts out on the ‘net.

That really underlines the impact of a blog. You can set one up in minutes, and get an entire team organized and ready to provide feedback, take notes, record problems & resolution, communicate status, share jokes, ask questions… the list of course is infinite, only confined by ones creativity.

More to come…

New HTC Star100

Would you like to see the first HTC flip-phone?  If so, check out MS Mobiles‘ post on the new HTC STAR100 phone.

They’ve got a full photo spread on the new device, and a lot of information including the scoop on AKU2 (Push Mail update) and A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth Headphone) support built in.

Well there is more in their post than I can do just in hinting at, I mean they have a LOT of photos of the new phone.

New coComment Integration Features

RickMahn.com is coComment IntegratedWell, OK it may not be “new” news, but it had been awhile since I checked out the updates that coComment has been working on for their wonderful comment tracking service.  Among the enhancements to already supported blogging software, they have added a Promotion page and an Integration page.

Both these pages have additional information on promoting their service and coComment functionality to additional blogging software.  Go have a look when you get a chance.
