Getting a Handle on the Instrument

This image is evidence that I presently suck at using the CyberPad as a drawing tool. It will take me some time, but I intend to become proficient in using the pad for anything I can find to possibly use it for, including as an artistic tool for drawing. I attribute most of the crudeness […]

Rethinking Ink

The ink thing didn’t go so smoothly at first. For some reason, I couldn’t get Windows Live Writer to write the correct path to the MovableType asset that it created. I had to login to the MT administration page for the first time in several days to correct the problem. I believe there was a […]

Ink Blogging

I have been playing with Windows Live Writer, the "Ink Blog" plugin for Tablet PC and my Addesso CyberTablet. I have been unable to use my tablet effectively in Windows XP because Windows XP "Professional" lacks the ability to understand a pen input device natively, but Vista Business on the other hand, knows how to […]

Re: Windows Live Writer Complaint

Since posting my complaint about the bad placement of the WLW publish dialog I have received two responses through the blog’s comment functionality. The first from a Windows Live Writer developer, handled the complaint as a request for functionality, this would be very correct handling. Moving the dialog, or at the least not making it […]

The Chocolate Has Arrived

The LG Chocolate II (VX-8550) arrived this morning at 11:26. Took me a while to get it activated after it went through its 4 hour charging cycle. I had to call Verizon and deal with a human because VZW was being a bunch of bitches about my plan and not letting it activate normally because […]

Bill Gates and Microsoft Part Ways

This Friday, June 27, 2008, will be a sad day for geeks everywhere. Bill Gates is retiring from Microsoft. In many aspects no one will know the difference, but as Steve Ballmer has been quoted in many articles, it just won’t be the same. Three people have been selected to replace Bill Gates in his […]

My Phone’s Holster

Since Jared decided to comment on the material of the holster, I decided to go ahead and post information about the holster itself. It is a very simple holster and it is fairly universal between LG phones (it is shown here holding an older model LG phone). It is made of leather on all parts […]

Windows Live Writer Complaint

Dear developers of Windows Live Writer… with keeping the Microsoft tradition of multi-tasking, I humbly request that you move the publishing indicator to the tray, and get it out of my way, so that I can chain post in peace. Better yet MS, go ahead and make WLW tabbed, just because you can’t steal the […]

Crocs

Crocs are not attractive footwear. Crocs do not make good cell phone cases. Crocs are hideous, revolting and should not be sold in any English speaking country. I was so disgusted yesterday when I was presented with the option of a Croc case for my cell phone… and an assortment of little "add-ons" to make […]

New Cell Phone

  After wrestling with choices for a new cell phone before my new 2 year timer begins, I finally made a choice. I have selected the LG VX8550, also known as the Chocolate. I ordered it in black. I got a different type  of belt clip for this one. Instead of my usual dorky rigid […]
