still tweakin’
I’m still playing around with the design, of course. I’ve gone back to my yellow, green, and light grey colour scheme for now – I liked it on the old site, so I decided to keep it. Oh, BTW, if you’d like to see what my old page looked like for comparison, it’s still here. […]
drama in the desert
On Thursday night we went and saw our friends, the Erin Smith Band play in Guelph. It’s cool to have a band as friends, especially when the band is as good as ESB. They played two sets, and while both Sandy and I thought that they took a few songs to get warmed up (hey, […]
And the winner is…
The winner of the “Website that I envy most” award goes to… Adam Tow for tow.com!!! A close runner-up to Grant Hutchinson for splorp. tow.com borrows lots of ideas from Philip Greenspun and for good reason. I own a copy of Philip and Alex’s Guide to Web Publishing and while it might feel out of […]
I can’t believe I forgot this: RIP bunch
On Saturday morning I checked the EFNet #newton IRC channel like I always do and heard some shocking news: a long-time channel member, bunch, had died. It was kind of surreal, as I’ve never known anyone online who had died before. I moped around most of the morning, with kind of a dull feeling in […]
SONUG, Palm keyboards and phones, oh my!
SONUG was great. We met on Sunday, had some pints, had a LOT of great discussion and showing-off, and generally a good time was had by all. John Charlton came all the way from Royal Oak, Michigan, and I think we showed him a good time. Curiously absent were Peter Cameron and Stephanie Maks – […]
2001: A Phone Odyssey
Today the odyssey ended. I visited Bongo Wireless and had the C332 unlocked. It works. Finally. Fuck you Rogers. Anyone want to buy a slightly used V101? More in this space tomorrow. SONUG was good.
no, I’m not made of pure vitriol
Despite my scathing attacks below, I’m really feeling alright. Here to prove it is a non-threatening blog entry. (Is this a blog or a diary? Kind of both. Whatever.) Nintendo releases new Game Boy Advance SP. Ooooh, nice new design. Apparently it’s more comfortable than the original, which is good because my huge hands do […]
phone saga update
The C332 is locked. Rogers will not unlock it, of course, because they want it on a new contract to make back their discount on it. However, because I got someone to program that number with the C332’s IMEI, once I get it unlocked it should just work. They shouldn’t have done that, but it […]
now playing, the MacWorld keynote…
Live MacWorld keynote blog updates by Adam Tow. Some cool Everything2 links: Why strapping buttered toast to a cat’s back will not produce infinite power My brother made $700 in 3 hours by sitting in front of a grocery store
Hey Rogers: left hand, meet right hand.
Adam Tow, you are a GOLDEN GOD. I bow down to your l33t n3w+0n skillz. In case you have no idea what the heck I’m talking about, Adam is working on an XML-RPC library and Blogger API client for the Newton. It’s mad. It’s actually alpha and released right now. And it’s probably going to […]
