I have a few interesting links that people might be interested in checking out …
It’s official, after getting some issues with the modem out of the way it’s now up and running great. I get better reception with it than I do my cell phone. Below is some info about my wireless venture …
First let’s go over the hardware. I bought a Palm V off of eBay for 99.99. Yeah it’s a little low on RAM, etc. but it should serve my purposes nicely. Second, I bought the Minstrel V modem. It looks nice and thin in the picture, but in reality it turns your Palm V into the size of an average Palm III (maybe slightly smaller).
The modem has it’s own battery, which kicks ass. And it’s smart enough to know when you aren’t using it so it’ll shut itself off. The best part about going this route is the fact you can view ANY webpage, instead of being limited to Palm.net.
At any rate so far I give it two big thumbs up. For now you can browse your favorite miester.org articles using your mobile device here.
I’ve been in the market for a new palm pilot of some sort. I only had a few requirements: 1.) sync with linux, 2.) cheap, 3.) offer the personal apps. As many geeks before I make purchases I go shopping on eBay. What I found was a Palm V for 99.99! So I bought that and then started looking at the accessories. Like many geeks I yearned to go wireless … well good news OmniSky is now selling off there wireless modems for 69.00 after a mail in rebate. So I end up with a serious wireless solution for 170.00 – not bad!
If you’re a geek, like I am, you HATE doing laundry. What you most likely hate doing more than doing laundry is ironing those clothes. I’ve found the answer, Downy Wrinkle Releaser. This stuff is AMAZING! A few sprays and PRESTO wrinkle free clothing.
I AM 48% GEEK.
I probably work in computers, or a history
deptartment at a college. I never really
fit in with the “normal” crowd. But I have
friends, and this is a good thing.
I was sitting in IS 442 (a Sr. level computer class) when the teacher whips out a 486 computer and tells everyone in the class who doesn’t know what a CPU looks like to come up to the front of the class. All but 5 went up! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? I’m gonna have to work with some of these shmucks someday?!?
A recent article on slashdot gave a link to CmdrTaco’s MAME Box. So what is a MAME box? Well in a nutshell it’s an arcade machine that runs an emulator on a PC allowing you to play thousands of games from ONE arcade machine. So I’ve been doing my research and I’m about ready to start buying the pieces. If you are interested in starting out I’d recommend checking out this search on Google. Here is the start of my MAME box page.
I noticed an article over at debris.com about the Code Red virus and decided to check my logs. 377 requests have been made to my server for by boxes administered by idiots. I might install Matt’s warning generator.
Many people ask me where I get all my geeky t-shirts. It has been a long time goal of mine to wear t-shirts that show off my inner geek. To those of you who wish to purchase some check out Copyleft (the oldest and my personal favorite) and Think Geek (another cool geek store). Tell them miester sent you.
