While the 770 was the original internet tablet, the N800 proved to be light years ahead of it. The N800 not only has a faster processor, but more memory, a camera, and is still supported (and will be for a while) through operating system updates. Still, whenever I show my N800 to someone, or describe what it is, they remark that it’s “like an iPod Touch.” To which I reply, “kind of, but this is better.” Read more

Well, the day came when the URL for the XKCD comic should have been http://xkcd.com/404, however, today’s comic is http://xkcd.com/405.  They just skipped 404.  Goes from 403 to 405.  Quite disappointing.  I was looking forward to seeing a 404-based comic, but XKCD has let me down…

It was abour rime for another post… With a screenshot. Hope this shows up right… Blogging from n800!

I know the first day of Spring was a little while ago, but it still seems like winter here. Why? The second day of Spring (good Friday), it snowed. Yesterday, it snowed. Even some accumulation, too! Luckily, I was able to capture what I believe to be a highly ironic moment: flowers blooming with snow on them.

In other news, I have a tracking number for my N800 and it should be arriving sometime today!

As of 10/16/2007, I was the proud owner of a Nokia 770, purchased from Wal-Mart for $184.74.  I loved it from the day I got it.  Brought it around everywhere, showed it off, used it whenever I could, etc, etc.  The Nokia 770, for those who don’t know, was the first of Nokia’s line of “Internet Tablets.”  Basically, updated Palm Pilots, with a whole lot of functionality, running linux.  When I purchased mine, the N800 was already out, and nearing the end of its product life and the N810 was announced the day I picked up my 770.  I didn’t go for a N800 because it was slightly more expensive, and for the price I was happy with the 770.

Well, I screwed up the 770 a couple of times, just playing around with it, editing sudoers, removing system files, etc.  Nothing that couldn’t be solved by reinstalling the OS.  However, on Feburay 18th, 2008 (+/- 2 days), my 770 got messed up beyond a simple fix-by-reinstall. Read more

Ever needed to obscure an e-mail address on your website? Most techniques use javascript (this one technically does also), but that renders them incompatible with some browsers. The following is a PHP function I wrote a little while ago to obscure an e-mail address on a webpage, but still keep it compatible with old browsers.
