The upcoming long weekend is messing with my work flow today... dammit! Hahaha I can't really concentrate as much as I want too. Today I've been on and off work fiddling with my pocket pc. I installed Skype 2.0 again, I also installed Whirlwind 21, and PocketChess for the trip ahead. Of course the Today speed dial app that I just loaded. I also synced up some more tunes to my miniSD card. I'm pretty sure I have everything covered for our trip... I hope I don't forget anything. I also got my paycheck today... Hmmm I noticed that it no longer carried the same longevity as I would hope for. Well these are the facts of life I guess. Everything is expensive nowadays. Oh well.... one more reason to go out and re-connect with nature and my friends! Hehehe!

The boys at xda-dev have done it again this time they have extracted the Today Speed Dial app from the Treo700w and now everyone can enjoy Picture Speed Dial on their today screens :D Kewl! -- The Good: It is free! D-pad sensitive, you can customize the number to call, Stylus tap and hold gives you options to send sms or call other numbers. You can also choose to display names instead of pics! -- The Bad: It is not screen size aware and so putting it inside PocketBreeze as a custom tab with vertical tabs is kinda weird looking. -- You can get it here: xda-dev thread

We are off to La Union later [wee hours of the 29th] I'm pretty excited. I definitely need a break! Besides I'll also be able to use my DSC's [digital still camera] underwater [actually it's all weather] case again. Bel had surfing on our itinerary, sounds interesting but I don't think I will be able to appreciate it as much. #1 I have shitty balance and coordination, and #2 I wear glasses and am basically blind without them. I wonder how I will be able to surf without glasses on...? Anyway maybe I will try it anyway. -- I'm bringing my notebook for photo storage and to watch some dvds. I don't have sunscreen yet maybe we can buy on the way.

Am a bit bored at work... So for a break I am listening to some tunes and blogging for awhile. So what are you listening to right now? Me I'm listening to Tiësto's In Search of Sunrise 5: Los Angeles wirelessly mind you using my iTech Blueband and Dopod 838 ... How geeky is that! :o) Anyway I was at Greenhills Shopping Center yesterday and I happened by a shop that sells PDA phones [mostly second hand but some brand new units as well] it's near the walkway near the Cellphone Tiangge. Some gentlemen were eyeing the 838 they had on display of course they were asking a lot of questions about it... Since I had one I decided to chime in. I do think I made a strong case for Pocket PCs specifically converged devices. I argued that with a PPC Phone you could do almost anything you want from checking e-mail to surfing. Playing games, to playing Media [that's music and videos], you could also take images [although a bit crappy on this department], of course PIM, and typing up s...

Yeah! The boys over at xda developers have done it again. This time they have found a way to activate A2DP on AKU2 ROMs [which had it disabled]... now you can get push e-mail if you use it [I don't] and stream music via BT too! How cool is that! The workaround/patch is reported to work on HTC Tornado [WM Smartphone], HTC Wizard [WM PPC Phone], HTC Prophet [WM PPC Phone]! -- I have the patch working on my newly flashed Dopod 838 [flashed with Dopod's 2.21.13.1 WWE ROM] -- Enjoying a more stable and responsive ROM with A2DP :o) -- Itching to try it out yourself... here are some links: HTC Prophet Forum ~ 818pro A2DP HTC Wizard Forum ~ A2DP addon for Wizard HTC Tornado Forum ~ A2DP for Tornado -- Remember this is an unofficial workaround/patch do it at your own risk.
