• ToneThis

    Posted on January 14, 2004

    I’m not much into the ringtone market at all, but I got an email from TJ at ToneThis talking about the way that they’re approaching setting up a mobile service. The way ToneThis works a user can encode music from the MP3 library on their home PC and turn it... [Read More]

  • Palm Minirant

    Posted on January 13, 2004

    I had to do some of that running around that I was talking about in the last post, so I figured I would write up a blog entry. When I finished it and tried to upload, I had issues getting a network connection using my Palm to connect to my... [Read More]

  • Busy Busy Busy

    Posted on January 13, 2004

    I’ve been quite busy lately, with things that unfortunately have me running around out in The Big Room rather than working in front of my computer. My hope is that this part of the work will only last until next week some time. And there’s a specific event in there... [Read More]

  • Multicomponent Handsets

    Posted on January 12, 2004

    There’s an article at The Feature describing a style of handset that allows for interchangable faceplates that modify not just the look of the phone, but include memory as well. I’m interested in the announcement not really for the handset itself, or the youth audience targeting, but because it’s a... [Read More]

  • Starting Off a Week

    Posted on January 12, 2004

    Starting off a new week almost always makes me depressed. I spend the weekend being able to at least fit in interesting bits of hacking here and there. Although this weekend was mostly work, and my site was down for a decent sized chunk of it, I did manage to... [Read More]

  • Vagablog and TypePad.com

    Posted on January 10, 2004

    I got a question the other day about using Vagablog to post to TypePad.com hosted blogs. I hadn’t tried it before, and it seems to work just fine. I put instructions up on the webpage, and I’ll probably be adding typepad.com as an option in the types list, cause I... [Read More]

  • osViews Proposed Desktop GNU/Linux Project

    Posted on January 9, 2004

    There’s an article at osViews about trying to get together a project to develop a full fledged user desktop package. By this they mean everything that a local computer retailer would need in order to sell full fledged Linux based systems, including artwork and sales and marketing materials. I think... [Read More]

  • Motorola Licenses WoZ

    Posted on January 9, 2004

    There’s an article at Mercury News about Motorola licensing the tracking technology that Wheels of Zeus has been working on. I wrote about WoZ in a recent entry here. What I found interesting about the article in Mercury News was that Wozniak would like to see this deployed more as... [Read More]
