Free eBook in PDF format by Bob Reselman. Be forewarned, it is really geeky and for the true geeks to really understand. I downloaded it last week and read it, and it is a pretty good read.

Haven’t posted much up here lately, I have been really busy with PocketBlogger. 4500 hits in less than a week, I never would have thunk it. Between that and being swamped at work, it just seems like there is no time lately. Need to get an oil change, and taxes done, new drivers license, insurance updated, etc.
A lot of cool things have been up lately too, CTIA in New Orleans, tons of new gadgets, the Atom API was finally updated by blogger.com, IE7 Details are leaking out like a sieve, VB Developers want VB 6 to stay (I have no clue why, compared to VB.net it sucks hind t*t)
Gmail
Looks like gmail is open for business, you can sign up from the google website
PocketBlogger v1.1 Released
Changes in version 1.1
* ability to save username/password
* ability to paste into entry screens
* get recent posts (title and date) and then edit and delete
Other notes:
paste function will paste over everything written in entry box, so it would be best to write your whole entry in another text editor if you want to go that route.
saving username/password should work, if you are having issues with that, let me know and I can look into it. the program will connect to web on start and exit to save password locally encrypted.
still no setup program, but two dll files have been added, so you need to copy the exe and the 2 dll’s to the folder of your choice on your PPC for pocket blogger to work…
Happy 311 Day
311 day, once of the coolest days of the year. One of my most favorite band’s is 311..usually they play a huge concert on this day ,like 65-70 songs, but this year they are hard at work in the studio, making a new album.
I am guessing they will party hard tonight though…
Skype
I installed Skype tonight. I have known about Skype since it first came out, but decided to hold off on the install until I was sure it was solid, or had a use for it. If you dont kow what Skype is, it lets you make free internet calls to other skype users, or you can put some cash in an account and call anyone on a regular phone for like 2 cents a minute..
My skype id is ScaleOvenStove
Word of the Day: Houdini
Houdini: The ability to get out of sticky situations without anyone knowing how.
Used in a sentence: “Dood, what was up with that Houdini last night?”
Usually happens: At the bar when a buddy gets drunk and disappears.
CCC: Revolved
The Beatles’ 1966 album, Revolver, mashed for 2005, mixed with other new songs that make it sound really cool
This is awesome! Go and download the Mp3 before they get taken down!
Yo Congressman!
I emailed my congressman (Norm Coleman) today and asked why there wasn’t an RSS feed for his newsletter posts …
Hopefully they reply and put one up…
