Recall Apple is recalling a bunch of Powerbook/iBook batteries. Vicki just filled out the form for a replacement battery for her Powerbook.

15K My linkblog has reached a new milestone, 15K worth of links. Undoubtedly, one of, if not, the largest non-community-based linkblog out there. New Digs! It's official. We now own the new condo. The title was transfered/recorded on Monday night around 6pm. Now the fun really begins… packing and moving… The Pulse Erik's Pulse has been published.

GooglME 0.4.2 I've just released GooglME 0.4.2. This version includes the latest round of fixes for the Sony Ericsson T616. Since I don't have a T616 to test with, it took me a while to figure it all out. In typical Java-fashion, write once, test everywhere. The T616 JVM doesn't seem to like it when you attempt to store data in a separate thread. Moving the data storage calls outside of the thread fixed the problem.

HP Color LaserJet 2550L

Bluetooh Print Adapater. The Bluetooth-enabled driver is built-in under Mac OS X 10.4. I'm using the HP Mobile Printing driver under Windows XP. One drawback so far, it's big. Slow Tiger Kernel As an alternative to the Cisco VPN client, we've been trying to get VPN Tracker to work on Vicki's powerbook. After a few calls to the IT department, we all decided that it would be best to talk to Equinux directly. We called them yesterday morning and were told without uncertainty that the Mac OS X 10.4 kernel is too slow to handle most VPN protocols. Apparently Apple has been made aware of the problem for a while now, and they are working on it. That would explain why Cisco was not able to get a new driver out in time for the Tiger release.

Tiger Install Error I just tried to install Tiger on my iMacDV. Didn't work. Gave me some kind of generic error. I really don't have time to look into it. I guess we'll try to install it on Vik's powerbook and see how it goes.

[@114] The upgrade worked on her powerbook, except for the Cisco VPN client she uses for work that is no longer working.

JCaptcha & Guestbook

I'm implemented human validation in my guestbook using JCaptcha. I was getting tired of spam.

It was pretty straight forward, especially after reading this 5 minutes tutorial.

Negotiations…

We're still in negotiations over minor items that were found during the new condo inspection. Everything is moving along though.

We should be closing on the 16th.

Everything has been signed off on. We're now just waiting for the certificate of resale.

Inspection The new condo inspection is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10am. Today we'll be relaxing by going to see XXX and attending our niece's baseball game later tonight.
