Geek gift.

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim. They picked up the Ambicom WL1100C-CF. Installing it was pretty easy, it found my AP right away and after a little configuration, I was off! On the other hand, using the Axim with the wireless card in runs down the battery quite a bit quicker than it does without it running. I suppose I expected that. I’ll have to be sure and adjust my usage accordingly and make sure I pull the card out after I download email and get the latest headlines from PocketFeed. It’ll be nice to have at Gnomedex, when I will be able to stay in touch with the office through email without having to lug my laptop around all day.

    Random updates on previous posts: The tape drive from Friday turned out to be fine. Had a little scare with static electricity when I went to unplug the drive and plug it back in, but aside from suddenly shutting down our only server with no notice late Friday afternoon, everything was back to normal. The…

    Lots of ideas floating around this weekend in the podcasts I was listening to surrounding the idea of what you say about the users you support. It all started with Douglas Welch’s podcast “Don’t Say It” where he talks about the possible consequences of getting not only getting caught “user bashing” but also the negative…

    It was a nice 4 day weekend, even though we spent all but the few hours we were at my parents Christmas Day inside the house. It’s still cold and icy here in Columbus, but they are promising us warmer weather starting tomorrow, so maybe some of this ice will, finally, start to melt! I…
