Day One with Pocket PC: I’ve already crashed it
I was fiddling with my new PocketPC and went to System and memory to look at how much memory there was. Then tapped on ok and nothing happened. After a little fiddling around I just pushed the power button but heck it doesn’t turn off. Darn. I’m still not finished packing for TechEd. I thought it would be kind of fun to use. Maybe I’ll clear the battery out and resynch it. Not much to that…
TechEd, MobilePlanet and Wireless Cards
I was just chatting with a sales person from MobilePlanet and when I mentioned shipping conflicts and a conference, she asked if I was on my way to TechEd.
She said that MobilePlanet has a booth there and that their #1 selling product during these conferences is….you guessed it…wireless cards!
So I need an SDIO card and they are NOT cheap …Socket’s is normally $109.95 with a deal right now (through 5/31) for $84.95. Ouch.
I have never had a pocket pc before but it sure seems a lot handier than whipping out even my little ACER tablet while wandering around TechEd. Of course if I don’t go start packing, I won’t be able to do much wandering in public…
Insiders’ Scoop on San Diego for TechEd go-ers
Brian Loesgen, president of INETA, is a San Diego area resident and gives some good inside info on San Diego. Weather, things to do and cost of living.
I was actually hoping to find time (ha!) to see the San Diego Zoo but Brian actually recommends the Wild Animal Park, one of zoo’s outposts, more.
Sick of all the bad news lately? Here’s some fun news about climbing Everest!
Chris Anderson does Amsterdam on a wing and a prayer
Chris, the boy-next-door kinda brainy guy, recounts how he magically managed to get to the Amsterdam conference where he was speaking, with all points against him, recently. It is a trip of pure serendipity. Part 1 Part 2 Looks to me like Cathi Gero was his guardian angel on this particular trip.
