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.

    Andy, not to be confused with Andrew from the last post, got the comments within the RSS item to work in Blogger. I’m going to have to take a look at what he’s done compared to what I tried and see what I was doing wrong. Later: Andy is not using BloggerPro to generate his…

    If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?” Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works,…

    Gee I didn’t post anything yesterday. You’d think I was majorly busy or something wouldn’t you? I do have to come up with a way to recommend people stop doing something in Outlook. You see every week, I write up a “Tip of the Week” and send it out to all of our staff. Mostly…

    But since our ISP did their “upgrade” last week, we’ve had a connection outage of anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour every day. Twice, so far, today! Somehow, I think maybe they missed on the “increased stability” they were going for, don’t you? Gee I’m in an awfully complaint-centered mood today, aren’t I?…
