Picking a “Travel Computer” – Research
The first hurdle in my quest for a lighter load while traveling is my personal computer. Coming it at 4.02 pounds, and having way more power than I need 90% of the time on the road, I think it’s a fine candidate for down-sizing. The problem is… What to replace it with? Minimal Requirements The […]
Quitting the Internet…
So I got a great geek share from @Michael Sims today, and it really makes me consider quitting theInternets. About half-through the Objections section I knew it was fictitious, but none-the-less scary. We, the end-users, really have no protection for sites using crappy code review processes, or virus-ridden ad servers *cough cough openx cough**. At least […]

So I started creating a dialing sequence and storing it into a contact. For TurboBridge it looks like: (555)123-4567,,,00000#,,# Of course (555) 123-4567 gets changed […]
