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.

    So what’s the one piece of tech that gives you most trouble when it comes to finding a solution? For me right now, it’s my home wireless router. I can’t seem to keep my connection for more than 30 minutes or so before it drops. I’ve tried changing channels, WEP settings, moving around the house,…

    Finally a bit of time to breathe! I’ve been busting my butt most of the afternoon. Had a bunch of database projects get thrown at me at the last minute and have been trying to get all of my “pending” file cleared away so I don’t have to think about any of it this weekend….
