A Day in the Life of an Internet Tablet
While I’m writing this in Notes application instead of Blogger, I’m impressed with my new Internet Tablet. Not as powerful when not tethered to the seamy underbelly of the Internet, the N810 performs well as a handheld computing device. Even the thumb keyboard is quite comfortable. The device can seem a bit heavy at times.…

Waiting for Maemo
Last Thursday I got the chance to play with a Nokia N810 at the TigerDirect store in Mississauga. A pretty nifty device, but the price was not so nifty. So I ordered one via the Web. And hopefully it’ll arrive sometime today. Yay! My initial review (after using for a few minutes) is that the…

The Day the Podcast Died…
The guys at LugRadio just announced their last show. What a shame. I loved that show and I rate it as the funniest Linux and open source podcast shows of all time. Actually, one the funniest and best podcasts out there. That was that is. This makes my already tiny list of regular podcasts smaller.…

Updates to Life
I haven’t blogged about myself in a bit. So here is an update on me: @ Work: Have less than a month left of my probationary period at work. All the signs, indicators and omens point towards my staying on as a fully privileged employee of VisionMAX Solutions. I am very pleased with this situation.…

I’m Hating it!
Humanity has a love-hate relationship with technology. Geeks like to take it to the extreme. Take the recent hub-bub in the blogosphere about the aptly named: Linux Hater’s Blog. In that blog, the anonymous blogger (or bloggers) rants about how BAD Linux is. Its entertaining and educational! Entertaining because rants and rabble-raising is fun… in…

25 FFTW!!! (Happy Birthday to Me)
Two days ago, I joined as one of my acquaintances well said, the Quarter of a Century Old club. After 25 solar revolutions, much has changed even if when put back to back each year looks as the one before. So in typical hacker fashion: def __init__: age = user.get_age() age++ Cheers and thank you…

Symlink Mirror – A Useful Python Script
Just wanted to share a useful little python script I crafted. I creates symlinks from the top level directories in a specified source folder to a target folder. Its a neat little tool for linking between two distant directories under UNIX. Share and enjoy! #! /usr/bin/env python “”” Symlink Mirror ———————————————————– Author: Dorian Pula Version:…

My Head in the Clouds – Cloud Computing
After much resistance, I extended part of my life on-line. The reality is that technology plays an important role in my life. I organize, communicate, create, distribute and entertain through computing. But even with Palm, a decent Linux workstation and the web to my disposal much of this technology and its benefits are separate. While…

Task Oriented Architecture
As neotechnophiliac (a.k.a. person crazy enough to run alpha releases of software), I love to experiment with different technology. And these tests are often for the pursuit of pointless knowledge and killing time. Technology and engineering are a lifestyle for me. Most people don’t see technology that way. Technology comes in two flavours: toys and…

Blogging the Busy Life
Its funny actually. I imagined that with work, I’d have more money and time to do the things I want. Money is not the issue after all. Time on the other hand, is the ultimate scarce resource. Hence I blog less than I want to. Fortunately as I fall into the rhythm of work, free…
