Google seems to be bringing things back around

Google Page Creator


Google is going to offer personal webpages...no Blogs just webpages... cool. Just when people were really getting away from having a site since Blogs are so easy to set up and update.

It seems with a site you can link to your blog and do some different things. I think that was always my problem with my websites is that I wanted to update it blog style but also have other stuff and as my free time slimed down so did my willinginess to wade into the HTML all the time.

The biggest HTML thing I have done latley is when i did all the Style sheets for this blog and made it the mess that it is.... actually I like it. Using the Google page buillder should be fun to try to.

The Rhinoskin proves it's worth.

So I got out of the car the other day and heard a clackty, clack on the ground. I looked and there lay the iPAQ. It did of course have its Inpocket protective case on. I picked it up envisioning the screen being cacked. The screen was not cracked :) The SDcard had popped out a bit and the iPAQ was asking if I wanted to format the card. I just popped it back in and everything was fine. The aluminum case has some nasty gashes on the bottom right corner. The marks would have messed up the ipaq, maybe even split the case and/or cracked the screen. So if you have a PDA o some sor , I recommend an aluminum case. There are a couple different companies but I think they get the cases from the same place because they look the same.

Is that a blogger in your pocket?

....hehe.

New Bluetooth driver for the iPAQ and other stuff

First, <a href="http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldIPAQ/us/download/22475.html">bluetooth drivers 1.6.0.0700</a>

2nd, I have to go to court as a witness for a truck that I saw that knocked over a cement barrier. That's all that I reported. It turned out that the guy was a dui and I was the only person that saw him...

3rd, I discovered that if you stand at the urinal next to the first stall in the bathroom, the white wall tiles are very shiney. Shiney enough that if you by mistake glance to the right and somebody is sitting on the toilet , yep you gusses it, you see their butt. I have to remember not to use that stall...

Testing again

More test

Testing, posting from the ipaq via email

In order to minimize my time on the web at work I thought I would try writing the post from the ipaqs email client and then emailing it to my blog when I hit a wireless hotspot, be it at home or on the road.

Here we go. This first one is from home.

Lots a laundry

I did a ton of Laundry last night and all of it with HOT water. That would not mean much but to get hot water I have to run a hose from our kitchen sink out the backdoor and down to the basement. Put it in the washer go back up, turn on the water, go back down wait for hte water to fill up and then go back up and turn the water off and then go back down and turn the washer on... Did that at least 4 times.


While doing laundry I was also try get my iPaq to be able to see the main PC over the network. At first the ipaq showed 5 other computers. I could not get into them but I see them and there names. I finnally read that the Windows firewall may be blocking me out. I turned that off and turned on the Verizon modem/router firewall and I could see my computer, named Zonama_Sekot... look it up, but I could not get into the drives that I had shared. Once I can get into the shared drives I will be able to stream and move music, Movies, tv shows, podcasts to the iPaq.


I noticed the Sunrocket line has been really crakely since I messed with the firewall on the Verizon modem/router... Ill have to look into that. I did reboot it last night as well


I submittd our taxes last night and got a message from the bank that handles the fees coming out of the return that it should be back to them by the 10th


It sounds like Ruby has the pink eye now. It just me left... maybe I can put packing tape over my eyes or something...


I also wrote Kodak back today and let know that I had tried all of there tricks and some of mine but we still can not get the camera to transfer all the pictures via the usb cable.


Hmmm... what else. I think I may have to read Gryphons bedtime stories while not laying down... I start babbling about stuff. I find it amusing but G doesnt.

something to try


Open a terminal and telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl. Leave the connection open, its kind of amusing.

Lets see Monday... I got home and did some pages from a ryhymeing book with G and then afterwords I took Ruby out to Whole Foods for some much needed real foods. Ruby makes such an impression on people with her "Hi, you" as people walk by and then she bats her eyes...

I think we watched Family Guy and then some Project Runway. Family Guy was nutty. I dont know what they were going for... It was like Ultra-Violence they way Stewie not just beat up on but just wrecked Brian. Lots of blood, shooting of knee caps...reminds me of some of the stuff from Sin City. Espicially the part were brian had his head shoved in the toilet... weird almost creepy for family guy. I found my self sort of taken back more than laughing...I hope this was just maybe a mocking of all the violent movies... I guess they hit the cencership stuff up alot so this was just a stab at the " Violence in Movies..." part of the theme song. I guess everybody could find something in family guy that pushes certain buttons... I guess they found mine funny tv cartoons being ultra violent... didnt quite sit right, i think I guess the amount of blood that they used and the fact that stewie then shot both of Brians kneecaps... odd.

Lets see... We have 'My Name is Earl"#13 waiting along with season 1 of 'The Office" that I thought we could check it out.

I'll have to check to see when the Harry Potter and the Goblit of Fire is coming out on DVD... I want to see it and have been tempted get it from bit torrent.

I sorted out most of the media folders last night and got Sarahs documents redirected to her partition. Now I just need to burn some of the bigger movies and tv shows (which reminds me that I need to keep watch for a good deal on CD-Rs) to free up some space... I also have Blue Crush to transfer to a DVD so i need to install Nero. I also reinstalled Quicken and updated the checkbook.

Today is the first and TurboTax online said that the IRS would be accepting returns with school tax gredit as of today so i have to check on that tonight.

Gryphon and Sarah both have the PINK EYE. Hopefully the Rub's and I can avoid that.

I got a case of Moosehead beer. It has a really beery taste. Its also pretty strong or it may have been that I didnt eat all day and had it with dinner.
