Part One of my Raspberry Pi adventures (so far)

I made a somewhat cryptic tweet a little while ago about how I spent a crazy-long period of time researching what was, I believed, the next-big-thing in DNS resolution for IPv6 (or so my 2002 edition of "IPv6 Essentials" told me). I could not work out why I saw nothing about A6 records in any … Continue reading Another IPv6 instalment (subtitled: Watch Your Tech Library Currency!)
I held out for a long, long time. I'd even talked myself entirely out of getting one. Like they say in the classics though, "you think you've escaped, but they pull you back in". I now have a 32GB iPod touch and it's doin' alright, even though it took me nearly a week before I … Continue reading Living with an iPod touch
So here I am in the Qantas lounge at Changi Airport after my the last day of my trip to Singapore. The education went well (lots of smiling farewells) and I've forged some links with the locals that I hope will be fruitful for all. I'm trying to get over the silly habit I've developed … Continue reading Heading home from Singapore
I have been in the mobile phone market on-and-off for nearly 12 months. There wasn't really anything wrong with the N70, I guess I was just getting a little fidgety with lots of new "shiny" going around. The trip to the US in May, and seeing an iPhone in person for the first time, probably … Continue reading New gadget: Nokia E71
Thanks to work, I am now the possessor of a rather cool piece of kit: a tablet PC. It's a Mobile Computing LE1700, and I'm quite impressed with how it works. The big question though is of course... Will it run Linux?At the moment it's still running Windows XP Tablet Edition, but that's only because … Continue reading Motion Computing Tablet PC
I've developed a very strong desire to be connected to people recently. In the last fortnight I've reawakened my Google account and regularly sit on Google Talk, reawakened an old Free World Dialup account and plugged it into my home phone system, and signed up to Twitter. I also found a mobile IM and SIP … Continue reading Which Nokia device to get?
A while back I posted about my grief with the Linksys WIP330 WiFi SIP phone (it doesn't happen often, but it's a surprise when the ONLY hit you get on Google about a problem is your own blog post discussing it). The unit is still a bitter disappointment, but thanks to a firmware update it seems … Continue reading WIP330 progress: it’s a… phone
They've done it to me once more, those folks at Apple. In 2003, while I was in the US for a residency trip, I fell in device-lust with the third-generation iPod. I brought one home, and I'm still using it (on its original battery, I might add, although there's a bit of a telltale bulge developing on … Continue reading iPod touch: device lust
No I did not buy an Apple TV -- but seeing them on the shelves at the local Hardly Normal has got me thinking about the dilemma-in-the-making that is my media centre dream. It all comes down to bandwidth, or lack of it to be specific. Of the two locations at the Crossed Wires campus that ideally … Continue reading My media and Apple TV
