Two nights ago at Barramundi I dropped my sidekick from about three feet onto a very hard floor. The screen was open, but the unit landed squarley on it's bottom. Thwack.
I picked it up and it was still on, but frozen. Rebooted without a problem and everything was working again. Nice.
Still working on the follow up report. I doubt anyone has used it more than me.
Flat rate wireless data pricing seems to be catching on.
SPRINT PCS JOINED Verizon this week in announcing a nationwide flat fee pricing model for unlimited access to data on its 3G PCS Vision network. Verizon launched an unlimited data plan on its Express Network (3G) this summer.
While my Sister and family were in town we did a little site seeing. One stop was the Winter Garden. I never knew it was called that. This is the glass enclosed space that used to be connected to the WTC by a walkway suspended over the west side highway. I knew it as the yearly location for the orchid show. In any case, it is now rebuilt, and instead of connecting the WTC, it features big windows looking across the street at the huge pit. Probably the best viewing location, although there is really not much to see. As before, palm trees dominate this really cool looking space.
That was harder than I expected. But I finally have my gateway built so that I can email the server the tiny pictures from my sidekick, and the server will take them out of the mail box, put them in the image folder, and add the image information to the database.
Turns out that email attachments are a pain. And PHP imap functions are difficult to understand. Devshed has an excellent article that really helped. Not sure if I could have done it otherwise.
Get ready for a steady stream of tiny low res pictures.
