Steven F’s phonecam photos are great.
StevenF’s mobile phone pics never fail to amuse. Here’s two of the most recent hilarious ones:
I can’t believe that was the solution!
My missing / corrupted master boot record (MBR) issues continued after my last post. After a lot of tinkering and troubleshooting I think I finally found the culprit: a bad IDE cable. I replaced it with a new-in-bag one I had, and no problems as of yet.
Newton pages are busted
I moved this site off of my crappy home DSL link and back onto a real webserver. Thanks Bill. A lot of pages are broken though, pretty much anything old that used server-side includes. Actually, lots of things are busted, because I no longer have mod_rewrite at my disposal. Feed URLs have changed as well […]
Recovering data by the skin of my teeth
Something happened while I was poking and prodding around inside my computer last night. My boot drive’s boot sector and partition table got b0rked.

Why am I quoting silly long model numbers at you? Because the […]
Pepper Pad Community Forums and WiFi upgrade
Pepper Pad Community Forums – the official Pepper Pad forums are open now! Can’t wait for that SDK now… Also, apparently all new Peppers being shipped will have an upgraded Wi-Fi card, according to mypepperpad.blogspot.com. No idea yet if this is a B/G mode card or what.
Pepper’s Internal WiFi Adapter
It’s a Gemtek WL-672, connected through a CF slot on the Pepper’s mainboard. It’s pretty damn clear in the photos from the FCC that I posted earlier. I can’t for the life of me find its POWER CONSUMPTION SPECIFICATIONS though! Argh!
