Spurious Starlight - Resisting The Urge To Upgrade

http://spuriousstarlight.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Resisting the urge to upgrade. Who is the Nokia N800 for? Two years later is the answer any clearer? Facebook is a bit of a weird one on the N800. If you just enter the facebook URL you get some kind of weird message. Facebook clearly has never heard of the N800 and assumes that it is a mobile web browser, and tries to divert you to a WAP page. If you put the http:/ www.facebook.com/login.php. Fennec browser and Origami Experience running on Windows Mobile! But neither are particularly new. Edit: I added...

Resisting the urge to upgrade. Step 1: Reinstall the OS. I also split the HDD into an OS and a storage partition should a reinstall or OS change ever be necessary, and point all programs (Live Messenger, mail client, web browser) which may potentially save anything they download to that partition. This is where they will save all the photos I send them as well as those hundreds of crappy powerpoint slideshows their friends send them. Step 2: Install Microsoft Security Essentials. Step 4: Install LogMeIn.

Resisting the urge to upgrade. For a device which, for the better part of 18 months was my main way of accessing and listening or watching podcasts, I blogged very little about the Nokia N800. Sadly, with the arrival of the Toshiba TG01. I decided that it was time for it to find a new home, and it has, courtesy of eBay, flown the coop. Of course, this means that the TG01 had to be repurposed to this role. But could it live up to the standards of the N800? So, what do I use now as my pod catcher? To try t...

Resisting the urge to upgrade. A (re-)look at the Samsung SGH-i600. I realise that I am in the fortunate position of owning both an HTC HD2 and a Toshiba TG01, two super specc'd and very speedy Windows Mobile smart phones. More on the Tosh later, as I have now upgraded to 6.5.x and it is working beautifully as my portable media player, synchronizing beautifully with my Windows media centre. Key programs I've loaded on board in no particular order:. Opera mini 5 beta. My other criticism is that the proces...

Resisting the urge to upgrade. Solved: USB flash thumb drive not recognized by Windows. So, today I decided to intall the newest build of Chromium OS for my Dell Mini 9. I didn't have a 4GB thumb drive handy, and so took a risk using the 32GB one I have on my key ring. Needless to say, the install did not work, but what was worse, Windows now only saw 1GB of space. GParted not only saw and deleted all the partitions, it could also format it into a single 32GB NTFS space. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Feel ...

Resisting the urge to upgrade. A solution to the internet radio question. Well, it has been a while since I blogged anything, but I have been pretty busy. Since the last post I inherited a Qtek S110 a.k.a. HTC Magician from a friend who had bought it solely for the purpose of playing bubble breaker. Anyway, she lost interest after a while and I was the glad recipient of her cast off. So it was simply a question of putting it all together. Here is my recipe! Then run the cab. When you have a Pocket PC eh?

Resisting the urge to upgrade. That big ass table. It was with some surprise that I wandered into Delft tourist information to find Microsoft Surface. In action there. Never touched one of these before, and it was unoccupied. I am convinced this really is the way of the future! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Resisting the urge to upgrade. It is also, sometimes, about failing! Feel free to follow Spurious Starlight on twitter or our RSS feed. Or not. I don't mind. That big ass table. Joggler, not iPad.

Resisting the urge to upgrade. So the joggler arrived on Monday and it is a pretty cool gadget as I described previously. But in its box fresh state it is fairly limited. For instance, the news source is limited to Sky News. Who decided that? Even if they don't, all is not lost as the good news is that the joggler can already conect to my home server to view TV shows stored on it recorded by my media center. That big ass table. Joggler, not iPad. Or Peter Bright at Ars Technica. Anyway, exposing myself t...
