MeeGo Nowhere
My previous blog post about MeeGo was completely off-base. So it looks like Nokia decided to go with Windows Phone 7. Personally I don’t see the point, but then again I don’t run a Fortune 500 firm either. Apparently there are still plans for a MeeGo powered handset/mobile computer. Sometime in May, maybe? However it…

The MeeGo Comeths
A few weeks ago, Nokia and Intel announced a merger of the Maemo and Moblin projects. The resulting platform shocked the world. OK, it only shocked the communities (the third amigo) involved. Yours truly wanted to blog about it badly weeks ago. But I apparently never got the knack of timing and priorities just right.…

Nokia N900 – The Penguin Has Landed
You may have noticed that I’ve dropped off the side of the Internet somewhat. Life can get busy at times, especially for someone who sometimes gets muddled up with time management and priorities. Another compelling reason for this is that I recently bought a Nokia N900. And I’m still getting used to incorporating it into…

Once again, Dorian has dropped off the side of the Internet to work on stuff. So instead of an update, Dorian sends some interesting bits of news he found on the Internet.

A Return to Mobility
As a happy owner of a Nokia 5800 smartphone, I quickly realized the potential of this gadget as a great pocket-sized mobile computer. Unfortunately, for the longest time I relied completely on wireless access points. With the lack of a physical slideout keyboard, this phone felt like a step down from the N810 Internet tablet.…

An Encore
I didn’t update my blog yesterday. Life turned out busier than I could imagine. I am still catching up on things. I took on so many tasks. I have a trip to plan. Writing and reading just piles up around me. I’m not sure in which direction I should concentrate my efforts. My efforts to…

Dinner at Prince
Tonight I met up with one of my friends from my professional writing course, Andrei. Since I could meet him in the early evening, that meant I could get some extra sleep and start work later. Extra sleep is always a welcome change in my schedule. Commuting to work by bus not so much. Work…

Windows? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Windows!!!
I just read this article on Phoronix on the Phoenix HyperSpace quick boot Linux. So a quick boot Linux partition installed side-by-side with Windows is nothing new. It happened early last year. Rather what this article shows is the increased awareness of Linux in the vendor space. It also shows that vendors will ditch their…

The Forecast for 2009
First of all: Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Christmas and ringing in the new year. So it looks like the second day of the new year is slowly coming to a close. This year promises to be as exciting and interesting as last year. Maybe even more so.…

BBLUG in Review
Ok, so I didn’t expect BBLUG to go off without a hitch. However it doesn’t seem like a Linux or BSD-only tech group is all that interesting. I’m still debating whether or not to continue this LUG experiment. Maybe we can start a computer group, but that is really not my interest nor do I…
