See that post right below this one? I'm trying out del.icio.us, and using the xmlrpc daily blog post thingie they have. I had a bunch of other links I wanted to share too, but it took a while to get the link posting thing configured right, so just go check out my del.icio.us page. (0)
Palm To Bluetooth To Motorola V330 To T-mobile, Nothing But Net
I’m still not exactly sure why it broke, but I was able to get my network connection back up on my palm over my phone. The problem might be on the palm, but for all I know, could still be the result of a configuration change on the T-mobile side, but what I do know [...]

Dear LazyWeb, 2 days ago, my T3 locked up. not that odd of an occurrance, but it hasn’t happened in months, almost a year. To get the palm up and running again, I had to restore from a backup, which, was a week old. not that big of a loss. Everything came back up, and [...]

Dear LazyWeb: What Are Good Web Based File Transfer Interfaces?

Warwalking
Meg and I took the dog and my laptop for a walk around the neighborhood tonight. I found 18 wireless networks, 15 of which were unsecured. 5 of which were named “linksys” it’s enough that the thought of cancelling my cable service and mooching from the neighbors stayed in my mind more than briefly.
