So, now you are curious about this new Zaurus thing... Check out my new Zaurus-rex blog. There is a permanent link to this at the top of my links section (to the left). Enjoy.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Just enjoying grilling in the backyard and wireless connectivity...

Okay, so let's try this...

I am sitting in my family room watching Terminator -- yes -- the original. Thought it would be cool to update my blog from my Zaurus wirelessly. This will be pretty cool if it works.

Well, those of you who know me know that I have carried my Palm V forever. Finally got a new PDA. I settled on the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500. It has 64MB of RAM, a slot for Compact Flash, and a slot for SD memory card. And the best thing of all, it runs Linux!!!!

I have had nothing but fun with this unit since I got it. The MP3 player is outstanding and the applications are great. I have a 802.11b wireless card and am expecting a ethernet card to show up any day now. It is just really handy and a real improvement on the old tired and reliable Palm V.

More on this later...

W A H O O !!!! We're back. Until I can get the SFTP issue resolved so that I can use my own website, I have put this up on blogspot.com. This is a companion service to Blogger. So, for now, the only annoyance is that there will be an add at the top of my website.

Well, here is the latest in the blogging saga. Turns out that the latest version of Blogger only supports SFTP and passive FTP for tranferring files. Turns out that my web site and ISP - newsguy, doesn't support SFTP or passive FTP. This makes them pretty mutually exclusive. I have asked Newsguy to consider implementing SFTP, which is more secure.

So, for the time being I will continue to publish to my blog, but then manually add the new entries to my web site. What a pain....

As a result the comments are not working, for now and the text will be a little different. Good news is that the link lists is not broken...

Stay tuned, I will keep you all posted as to how this one turns out.
