Here’s a quick photo comparison of almost all the phones I had handy at home. From left to right: Handspring Treo 180, Nokia 8890, Motorola MPX-200, Audiovox SMT5600, Nokia 8290, Nokia 3650.
Critics of my crappy camera work and poor lighting may be shot on sight.
I love to bash that old 3650 — it’s huge, ugly, […]
My Audiovox SMT5600 arrived this morning. Everyone at work is impressed by the large screen and compact form. It compares favorably to just about everything they’ve held up to it so far. Getting ActiveSync working with my laptop over Bluetooth was a challenge — fortunately I remembered Phonemag’s instructions. That first step was the missing […]
Amazon sucks. I was trying to order a gizmo, which provided a promotional code to buy another doodad, but at check-out the system wouldn’t accept the promotional code. So I entered my story into their customer service form. Over 24 hours later they responded saying that I should fill out a different form from http://www.amazon.com/contact-us, […]
It took an entire month of trying, but I am finally done with Network Solutions. My first domain transferred to GoDaddy almost immediately. The other domain — this one, ntwizards.net — was more troublesome. I never received a transfer confirmation e-mail from Netsol — after submitting the transfer request twice — so I started digging […]

I was in the home stretch of remotely installing Debian to my dedicated server when the NOC rebooted it because the monitoring system showed it as down. Oops.
In theory this should have been recoverable by telling lilo to boot again from the Debian image instead of the default, but now it’s doing the LI and […]
Every once in a while I go to hibernate my laptop and get an “Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API” error.
Sorry the screen capture looks so huge, my laptop has a 130dpi display.
This error is wrong on so many levels. Nothing ties it to an action I performed — nowhere does it say […]
I’ve finally got my own server. I had been planning to get one from Server Matrix — last week’s WHT special was pretty good — but I ended up getting a substantial discount from my employer. Officially we don’t get a break on dedicated servers, but… I convinced the sales manager to credit the price […]
