Random gadget things

My Axim’s backup battery seems to be bad. I’ve left the Axim charging since I got into the office this morning and the battery stayed at 30%. I then took out the backup battery, wiped it down, as per the FAQ on Dell’s support site, and stuck it back in. Then it said 50% right away, but never charged any more past that. I may need to get a new one, eh?

I got a text “message” earlier on my cell phone from the cell phone company marketing a new product they have out. I’ve never actually used the text feature of my phone so it was quite the surprise to get a text message. (I barely ever use the phone features of my phone let alone other features…) Here’s my question. Will they charge me for receiving a text message that they sent? Not that I’m anywhere near whatever the limit is, but let’s say I was…

I spent a good five minutes trying to troubleshoot the modem on my laptop at lunch time today before I figured out that I forgot to plug the phone line into it. Maybe I should just go home before I break something… 🙂

  • Security is Happiness

    No seriously, I attended an Internet Security Systems demo/seminar this morning and they gave away t-shirts with big smiley faces and “Security is Happiness” printed under them. They’re pretty silly looking, I’ll try and webcam it tonight so you can see what I’m talking about. The seminar was decent, it’s always humorous when you setup…
