My moble phone weekend

I'm trying to do everything via my phone today. No PC except if I need to do my job.

This is going to be a fun excercise. I'm going to have to remember if there are candid pic ops to SILENCE my phone.


EDIT: 8:30pm, looks like I'm home on my PC. Sorry.

Get me out of this funk!

I thought that when you are working, you should put everything that you can into your job. I guess that's not the way America works anymore.

I'm just tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally; I don't know how to get out of it either. A good day at work would help: no one making fun of me when I show someone that you can do things like blogging, Twitter, YouTube videos, etc. during a presentation. Most people don't know what a phone can do now, and my coworkers seem to assume that they know it, everyone else knows it, or that if they don't use it, no one else would want to.

Assumptions ruin a good sales experience. That's why I ask a ton of questions, so I know exactly what someone wants, and that there is no misunderstandings.

Here's to trying to do it my way today.

What a week; there's still more to do

For those that didn't know, my wife Tammy had her gall bladder removed on Monday, and has been in major pain for a month. Both items have made me more tense than all get out, so since I have no friends close by, I'm having a one-man geekfest tonight, on Stickam maybe.

I need to:

• Get my m0n0wall setup
• Move my 20" monitor to the bedroom
• Get Gentoo Linux installed on the Sun Ultra 1
• Get FreeBSD setup on the Dell Poweredge a friend dropped off
• Clean up my desks in the living room

For later on (another day):

• Get my wife's CDs ripped
• Rip my Looney Tunes DVD set and encode into XViD
• Learn more about audio mixing options
• Start a new podcast with "Tech Wasteland" in the title
  

Thoughts this afternoon

This day at work is a pain. Everyone here is on edge, pissed, or just plain assholes. Haven't had any issues with the customers, they have been good.

Working on 2 big posts for later, but I probably won't get to them until tomorrow.

I'm really liking MediaFLO. The video quality is great for a mobile phone.

Weekend followup

I'm at my Saturday morning meeting today. Going over phone insurance, MediaFLO phones (pretty cool), and new MEdia Mall 2.0.

Tammy is getting her gall bladder removed on Monday. I know it's not a huge procedure, but anytime a loved one goes under, it can be scary.

To all my online friends, here's what's going on. My wife is hogging the only functional PC now, and trying to keep up with Twitter via SMS sucks on a Windows Mobile device. Jaiku is worse. I'm getting annoyed with companies based in the US not developing for WinMob, but are developing for S60. C'mon, guys, WinMob outsells S60 in the US, and say what you want, normobs won't adapt in the US unless more cool apps come out for Windows Mobile and to a lesser extent, Palm OS.

My trial of the week - Pantech Duo prelim

I'm messing around today and tomorrow with the Pantech Duo phone. My wife has already given it thumbs down due to the slider style and keyboard, but I'm giving it a fair shake today. When I get to the store, I'm going to copy my cal and contacts, and use it as my work line for a couple of days. I feel that it's not going to be MY perfect device, but there will be some good to come of this...

Another new phone for me

I got my new Blackjack II on Thursday. So far, it's almost my perfect phone. More to come later.

My day off and other thoughts

My day off today isn't what most people wouldn't consider to be good, but I'm getting a lot of stuff done today.

My son Alex is home sick, so I'm probably going to setup something so he can be on Seesmic and record a video.

I'm doing laundry, dishes, installing DSL, writing customer cheatsheets for work, and cleaning up cables in a box. Right now I'm attempting to eat Mac and Cheese (Kraft Dinner for the Canuckistanians), watching Command N, and writing this.

I gave Alex my old iPod mini today, and he's trying to get the hang of it. He's upset that the volume doesn't work with his Tiger guitar/speaker very well.

I'm going to record some random thoughts like this for my kyte.tv channel, so more to come!
