I recently helped a friend setup a new Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Pro under Ubuntu Edgy. My worry was that such a new device was likely to be unsupported under linux. Indeed, Ubuntu did not have support for it by default but…

I’m back to using a Treo 650 (GSM, Cingular) for the time being (yet another long story). I "acquired" this one from someone who was a AT&T subscriber. Even though the phone is branded as Cingular, it is locked to AT&T (blue) SIM cards only. So, when I put my Cingular (orange) SIM card in, it refused to get on the network.

So, I moved away from my Treo 650 (long story). Since I need a
PDA, I purchased a new Palm T|X. It has 128MB of RAM, Bluetooth,
and WiFi. Whee.

I’ve put together a basic weather monitoring page to display the
information from my LaCrosse 2010 weather station. I wrote the
data logging software myself, since only a windows application was
available for free. I plan to make the source available at some
point, when I have it cleaned up enough.
I recently acquired a Cingular Treo 650 smartphone. I wanted to
make sure to get the 650 because of the bluetooth functionality.
I have had a bit of trouble syncing it with Linux. The easiest to
get working was infrared. USB syncing would work on a SUSE 9.3
box, but not FC4 for some reason. Apparently the problem is known
and the pilot-link guys are working on it. Although IR sync is
nice, I wanted to get bluetooth syncing and general networking setup
with my linux laptop (T41p)…
Well, I’ve started work for IBM, on the Open Virtualization team. We will be working on an opensource project called Xen.
I’m very happy to be joining IBM full-time, and am proud to be a part of their Linux Technology Center.
We have arrived in Beaverton, OR. More importantly, all of our "stuff" has made the journey as well.
We had quite an experience with the moving company, which I plan to write up later.
Pictures are up in the gallery.
Today I took (and passed) my FCC Amateur Radio Morse Code
test! I decided about 5 days ago that I should start studying for
it. I was lucky that the DurHamFest was holding a VE testing
session, so I decided to try. Read on for details about the test.
I received a Roomba Discovery as a gift about two weeks ago. So far, I have been very pleased with it. It does a good job of vacuuming the entire first floor. Everything was going well until…
