My 7610 Journey Charlie was nice enough to send me a Nokia 7610 to play with. I received it a couple weeks ago, and here's what happened since then… Read more…

Lifeblog 1.0 Charlie just announced Lifeblog 1.0. Congrats! I installed it on my 7610 and PC. Be sure to remove any previous version from both your phone and PC before installing the new version. Other than that, it seems to work like a charm. The trial version will allow you to store up to 200 items. I've also updated LifeBlogger to support the new release. Backward compatibility with 0.9x remains.

Wiki Spammers I've only got one word for the jackasses who keeps on repeatedly spamming my wiki: "RUN!" [@531]
Mobibot 0.2 Mobibot v0.2 is now running on the #mobitopia IRC channel. I rewrote most of the feed generation code using Rome 0.4, which allows me to save everything directly to RSS feeds and read them back as needed. A much better solution than saving/reading serial objects. Tiger Purring Java 5.0 is still holding. I haven't noticed any problems. GoDaddy Rocks! I just renewed one of my SSL certs thru GoDaddy. $29.95 for a year. Amazing. Norton SystemWorks I upgraded to Norton SystemWorks 2005 over the weekend. For some reason GoBack won't install on my desktop machine, but apart from that everything seems to work as advertised.

Pain in the neck I've had a stiff neck for the last few days. I tried to sleep it off, but it's still quite painful. Tylenol 8-Hour seems to help a bit. Java 5.0 I'm now running this blog, my linkblog and mobibot under Java 5. So far, so good.

Hire Russ Russ is looking for a job. Hire him, will ya? Have him conceptualize the next killer mobile app for your company, and send him around the world to promote it. You can't lose.

7610

Charlie was nice enough to send me a Nokia 7610 to play with. I received it late last week. Very nice phone. I'll post a detailed review soon.

Java Web Start 5.0

I'm having problems with most Java Web Start applications under Java 5.0. I keep on getting the following:

Does anybody know of a way to fix that problem? I've looked around to no avail. Please let me know.

Language Barrier Yesterday night, I spent an hour on a conference call with a contact at NEC Japan. For some reason I was expecting to talk to someone with a good command of the English language. I must have been living here too long. It is amazing what you can accomplish with a few basic words (and email), even when dealing with fairly technical issues. Mariners Vicki's brother scored a couple tickets for a Mariners game this Saturday. He will not be able to go, so we're going. I haven't been to a baseball game in over 10 years. Last time was at Candlestick Park for a Giants game. We've never been inside Safco Field either. Kind of exciting…
