Review|NewMenu for WM5 1.0.0

In WM5 Microsoft decided to do away with the 'New' menu which was present in older versions of the OS. Good thing that saman-cz is there to the rescue! He has made an ultra-useful yet ultra-small application for all WM5 users :o) I've been using the app for the past week [1.0.0 beta] and I must say it makes navigation of WM5 uber easy... with the release of the first final version saman-cz adds a 'New Email' command and a file browser for even easier configuration.

Pros:
  1. Very Small [85kb]
  2. Adds 'New Menu' to WM5
  3. Configurable - May also be used to Launch Applications
  4. WM Notifications are not affected
  5. It' free

Cons:
  1. NA

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
