I’ve been buying music online from Musicmatch for the past year and a half. I like the fact that they have fairly high bit rates (168K) and that Musicmatch Jukebox is so easy to use. Now that However, now that I’ve started listening to music on multiple PC around the house, I’ve become very frustrated with the DRM and the fact that I requires that I jump through so many hoops. I have to play every single song in Musicmatch Jukebox on every PC so it can first download the decryption keys. As I download more music, I have to repeat the process. It’s myRead More →

It figures, just a couple of weeks after I convert a Sprint Treo 650 to Verizon, Verizon announces that they are going to carry it. Oh well, at least I’ve been able to get a few extra (early) months of enjoyment. I’ve tried to get by with not using a case or belt clip because my wife thinks phones look terrible when worn on your belt. However, it’s now fallen out of my pocket about six times and three of those were on tile or concrete, so I order a belt case from TreoCentral.com. I also ordered the Treo Wireless Bluetooth headset and the PalmOneRead More →

Most of the team was back together again last night at a gathering at the house of Dr. Lyles. Li was the only one unable to attend and I wished she were there. All of the previous China Trip participants were invited because Faye was making her first trip to the US after being unable to get a passport after so many attempts in the past.

I’ve wanted a combo Palm / cell phone for the past 4 years. The first ones from Handspring and Kyoceria were way to big. I really liked the Treo 600 but decided I’d hold out for Bluetooth.

This project just keeps going on and the blog was pretty boring, so I stopped updating the work log. In other news, I tried to log on to the Sveasoft forum and noticted that my username was suspended. Maybe it’s because I’m not a paying subscriber or maybe it’s because I made one post about them here. Not sure, but it’s weird that I can’t get into the non-subscriber section. I dont’ really care, linksysinfo.org seems to be better anyway.Read More →
