Eclipse 3.1 is out

Eclipse R3.1 is out the door. Actually, it went yesterday at around noon. I just checked the downloads page and we’ve gone past the 200,000 mark. Wow. Update (August 8, 2005): We crossed the million download mark last weekend. Forty days. Wow!

Palm, the LifeDrive and the Universal Keyboard

Well. I picked up the LifeDrive yesterday. It has a very nice screen, and is reasonably fast when it wants to be. I am definitely seeing the issue that others have described: frequent pauses as it accesses the HD. I don’t think this will bother me in the longer term, but it will take some … Continue reading “Palm, the LifeDrive and the Universal Keyboard”

Well. I picked up the LifeDrive yesterday. It has a very nice screen, and is reasonably fast when it wants to be. I am definitely seeing the issue that others have described: frequent pauses as it accesses the HD. I don’t think this will bother me in the longer term, but it will take some getting used to.

I also bought one of the Universal Keyboards. I honestly think this is the nicest of the Palm keyboards yet. Very usable, with a full 4 rows of keys. The only issue is it’s quite heavy. Probably not enough to stop me from keeping it in my bag, however.

The GCW Lan Party

Guild Oie Jedoonee is getting together IRL! Everyone who was available is coming over to my house today for burgers, beer, and much World of Warcraft playing. I’ve got enough room for 6 or 7 machines. If we need more than that, it’s going to get messy. I guess we’ll have to see. I have … Continue reading “The GCW Lan Party”

Guild Oie Jedoonee is getting together IRL!

Everyone who was available is coming over to my house today for burgers, beer, and much World of Warcraft playing. I’ve got enough room for 6 or 7 machines. If we need more than that, it’s going to get messy. I guess we’ll have to see. I have network connections for 9, but I’m also running wireless which will work well enough for people with laptops.

My dad is home

My dad is home from the hospital! Apparently, they eventually managed to grow a culture, so they slapped a matching anti-biotic on him and, sure enough, he got better. I chatted with him online yesterday. Apparently he was catching up with his email: about 20 messages. Imagine being away from your email for nearly a … Continue reading “My dad is home”

My dad is home from the hospital! Apparently, they eventually managed to grow a culture, so they slapped a matching anti-biotic on him and, sure enough, he got better. I chatted with him online yesterday. Apparently he was catching up with his email: about 20 messages. Imagine being away from your email for nearly a week and only finding 20 messages when you get back. 🙂

In any case, I’m glad he’s home. Thanks to all who said a prayer for him.

Posted from my phone

Well, actually not from my phone, but rather using my phone as a modem. Not something I could do too often given how exceedingly expensive my data service is, but it’s nice to know it will work in a pinch.
