Joining the Zaurus Generation. Bought a Sharp Zaurus 5500 PDA right before my trip to Atlanta. It has the mini-keyboard (some call it a thumb board though my thumbs are too big to use it that way). The main attraction, other than the fire sale price at Best Buy for their display model, is that it runs Linux, is color, and has quite a bit of memory for a PDA. I put Squeak on it yesterday (See the Squeak wiki for details) and the recommended dynapad image. Looks good so far but I haven't done much with it yet. 3:06:46 AM    Notes [] Making some changes... I've started adding links to other blog people. Not many but the ones I check out more than once a week or day. I'm also checking out other Radio themes though I'm not really happy with the ones I've seen. So... at some point I need to really finish my own. A slight title change to one that reflects this blog better. Oddly enough... although I haven't been very prolific on my blog the past few months I've always written a lot of e-mail all day long. Some long, some short. I also contribute to several newsgroups on a weekly basis. Must be an audience difference. In e-mail and USEnet you have some idea of audience. On a blog... the audience will be random. If you're lucky they comment, if not, you don't know if anyone really reads. 2:46:36 AM    Notes [] Passenger, thy name is Random Spent three days in Atlanta at a company retreat, flying out of Logan 6:15am on a Sunday morning and getting back 12:30am Wednesday morning. It was, in some ways, a very long trip, and in others very energizing. (I didn't get to stay for EDUCAUSE. Maybe next year.) No, I didn't get "pulled over", when going through security at the gate in either Atlanta or Boston but I stressed about it. Ah..... the BtVS gang seems to be doing the rounds of the talk/entertainment shows. Wonder what's up. Alyson Hannigan was on both Carolyn Rhea's and 'Conan O'Brian's show this week, she'll be on Carson Daily's show next week, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is hosting SNL in a week. Wonder who else is "on the road" over the next few weeks from that show... ? Hmmm... I seem to be watching only a few shows on television this year. BtVS (no surprise), Inu-Yasha & Yu Yu Hakasho (both on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on Saturdays), CSPAN, and some of the talk shows. Other things I'll watch if I stumble across them - Monk, Good Eats, Iron Chef. 1:51:58 AM    Notes []
