Uploading a 50 meg video via mobile broadband... possibly not a good idea!
Currently trying to upload a quicktime video that's a tad under 50 meg to Vox. It's taking a while, and I'm in a HSDPA area (in the garden, with me dongle high up in the air and sitting within spitting distance of the network's nearest mast)! The interesting thing is how much the upload speed affects the download speeds. I'm currently browsing whilst typing this (I like to multitask and have...
Ctrl-V (PCs) or Command-V (Macs) Time! Paste whatever text you copied last. Apparently, it was this: http://flickr.com/cameras/nikon/d40x/ That's the camera I want to get and I'm chatting with someone online and we're talking about cameras. This stemmed from the discovery I made that all the photos from this weekend are crap due to some greasy fingerprints that seem to have found their way ...
Businessman proposes more video security One downtown business owner is offering to give the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office more "eyes" on the street at no additional cost. Mark Marques, president of Joytel Wireless, has begun shopping around an idea he calls Secure Jax.

Wow. There's a 10 Step Plan for Living with a Lego Addict
... wow. Relevant even, but wow. clipped from gizmodo.com The look in Jesus' eyes. You may say baleful, but I see your baleful and I raise you pure, unadulterated, naked hurt. A lot of humble pie was eaten that night. I vowed to change, so I came up with a ten-point plan with which to sink my irrational plastic jealousy. Here it is: 1. Have a Spare Room A man needs a shed—a place his tool...
Another authentic, three-hour Vindaloo. It's a real ordeal to cook, so obviously only a weekend kinda deal -- although it works fine for a late Friday dinner with the lads getting the drinks in. Put on some Ravi Shankar or plop "Bend it Like Beckham" in the DVD player, and you've got an evening right there. I keep trying to make bigger and bigger portions -- and including side dishes, to make ...

So, I got up Saturday morning and found out to my great shock that my Treo 650 finally gave up the ghost. Now I know what your thinking, it was an older Smartphone and nothing last forever, but I really liked my phone. Anyway, I dashed off to the nearest Sprint Store to see about getting a new phone, but I came to the realization that my new phone was going to need to another Smartphone. I...
Like usual I am late to the party. I just picked up my Eee yesterday, I went with the XP version. I figure worst case I load Linux on it, then I have a spare XP license. So far I like it alot. I'll have to get used to the keyboard, but that shouldn't take long. Finally a true grab and go laptop. Sweet...
during finals week i needed to take a break. so we went outside with all our kids. this was the first time in a long long while that i just explored an area with my camera. as sad as that statement is. i was never completely comfortable with my digital SLR. so using it and being out of practice wasn't the most incredible thing ever. but it was fun. and i got some ok shots considering i was onl...
