Geek Dreams Fulfilled...Almost

O2 is planning to release an updated version of its XDA PocketPC phone. (Click for press release). That makes me very excited, because this device satisifies my original wish list. However, it will only be availalble in Europe. Luckily, the new phone will be tri-band, so I should be able to just buy one and it will work here. That's what I did with my Ericsson T39, which has been a great phone. The only thing to watch out for: the T39 came with a Swedish charging plug and manual. God, how I hate that my lust for gadgets outpaces the production of them.

I'm a Data Island

Something about Urban Potato hasn't sat right with me since I rolled the site out.

HTPC Bug

I've been doing a lot of research on the web. First of all, Microsoft's Media Center PC has several much cooler models now.

Online Myst?

Interesting read. Cyan (the makers of Myst) is creating an online persistent world of Myst. The original game had a way of sucking into it, and I wonder if the online version could do the same. I wish it was not just for the PC, however; XBox-Live would make this very easy access. And, it would give me something to do while waiting for Halo2.

UrbanPotato 2.0 is Online!

Ok, it's been a couple of months of work, and some of the photos are still out of order in the articles, but hey, what do you want for 5:30 in the morning? I'm not touching this thing for a freakin' week. Uploading content took forever, as my hacky conversion script had tons of bugs. Oh, well, it's dead and buried now.

Will We Never Get It?

For Christmas we bought Danna's parents a nice shiny new Dell computer. Shortly after I turned on the switch, I was sorely let down.

New Servers

The server that has been running Urban Potato is really running to capacity so it's time for an upgrade.
