More camera waffling

As if you guys aren’t sick of hearing me waffle about my next camera purchase, here’s another option: I was thinking about upgrading my Canon AE-1 Program by getting a nice AF 35mm SLR. I have a Canon digital Powershot S100 and an Olympus Stylus Epic, and to tell the truth, the $80 Epic [...]


What’s on my Palm?

Things I use on a day-to-day basis on my Palm Pilot:
Chapura Pocketmirror to keep my Outlook tasks, notes, and contacts in sync with my Palm.
IPCalc for figuring out network masks and subnetworks.
Avantgo for copying web content to my Palm for reading offline.
Isilo for copying static text and HTML content and reading DOC files.
GNU Keyring [...]


Dusting off my Palm PDA

I’ve dusted off my Palm PDA, after about a year of dis-use. When I traveled with my laptop, the Palm was pretty much irrelevant since I had all my information in Outlook anyway.

Blog musings

Ugh! I’m trying to update the whole site - come up with a simple template for text pages, make the blog part readable, and own the design - I borrowed the dark template design from Blogger, and I liked it, but maintaining it when you didn’t do it yourself is a pain. I’m re-doing [...]

Getting Old!

I’m getting old! I went to Juan’s Place last night, a great dive-y mexican restaurant/bar in west Berkeley. There was a crowd of drunken kids having a good old time - singing, pounding drinks, and generally partying their asses off. I looked at one of them as they walked to the bar, and noticed [...]
