I want a new cell phone. Specifically I’d like either a Motorola MPx220, or an Audiovox SMT5600, but nobody in Canada sells them. The only way to buy one of these phones is to buy it locked to one of the cell networks in the states. Bah.
You can pre-order Halo 2 from Fry’s for $39.99 US. You can pre-order it from Future-Shop for $59.99 Canadian. A 50% price difference, when the difference in the dollar is 20%. Must be a good year to be a Canadian retailer.
If you’re using YetAnotherForum.net (an excellent free forum package, which I’m using in a few places) the current version has a bug in the stored procedures that will cause all kinds of strange problems when you have a multi-board installation – what’s going on is whenever a group is updated, there are some flags that are [...]
I picked up an Averatec C3500 Tablet PC a few days ago. I’ve been looking forward to this particular machine since hearing about it about 6 months ago.

Podcasting is an interesting medium because it brings a pseudo-online experience to places [...]
Everyone loves the iPod. For a Mac user, this is a natural player to get – it integrates well with the system, iTunes looks and feels like a Mac app, and it probably works great (I don’t have a Mac but from what I’ve read, this is the case). If you’re a Windows user, however, [...]
I’ve been trying to make a .ISO file of a bootable CD so I can try it in Virtual PC. Found a simple little program that does this simple task well, called Undisker. It’s not free but the free trial got the job done. Thanks.

I’ve been running Rainbow for a while now at http://www.stevex.org/dnn, and I just installed the DotNetNuke portal toolkit. It’s quite a change, and I think it’s a change for the better. I’m going to write up some of my experiences with both, but in the mean time have a look at the new site.. there’s [...]
