I have been wanting to sync my Outlook 2007 calendar to my Blackberry Curve (8300) since I entered all of my Babson class data earlier in the semester. My Dell D630 came with Windows XP SP2 installed. When I installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.2 SP2 and chose the Connection Options I noticed that the… Continue reading Setting Up Bluetooth Sync in Windows XP Using Blackberry Desktop Manager on a Dell D630

I am Downgrading Vista to Windows XP
I’m very disappointed with Microsoft Windows Vista and am on the verge of downgrading to Windows XP. I started as an advocate for Vista when I rebuilt my machine in February. However, eight months later it is clear that making the leap was a mistake. Vista presented an enhanced interface where everything looked nicer. This… Continue reading I am Downgrading Vista to Windows XP
In Rainbows Delivery Dissapoints
I paid 5 pounds plus the transaction fee on October 3rd, pre-ordering the new album. However, I did not receive an email from WASTE (Radiohead’s merch arm) with my activation code. I emailed them and asked what was up, and got an auto reply as follows: “Thank you for your message. Here is some information… Continue reading In Rainbows Delivery Dissapoints
Radiohead Is The Answer
I have a lot of catching up to do since moving to Boston but this is perhaps one of the most exciting and important things to happen in the music industry since Napster was released. A Time article included a quote from an American producer that reads as follows: That’s the interesting part of all… Continue reading Radiohead Is The Answer
Disney Takes A Stronger Position on Health
Walt Disney has become the first Hollywood studio to take smoking out of all of its films. I didn’t notice any smokers in Ratatouille, and I couldn’t see them in a new traditional film from Disney either. But the FT article goes on to state that Bob Iger’s position is that “the company would also… Continue reading Disney Takes A Stronger Position on Health
Greg Oden Is The Man
I was sent a link to this the other day by my friend Ala, but only reviewed it this morning. It is a video interview with new Blazers front man, Greg Oden. There is plenty of hype about this guy’s basketball skills and his size–but I had no idea he was also very funny, super… Continue reading Greg Oden Is The Man
Three Links: Measuring Page Views, Cloverleaf, and RIM on AT&T/iPhoney
Counting page views as a measurement tool for traffic ranking of websites is out. Average visit length is in. Want a metric? According to Google Analytics, my Dave Matthews Band fan site, Weekly Davespeak had 8,806 visits between July 1st and July 8th. Each visitor averaged six minutes and 27 seconds drifting from one page… Continue reading Three Links: Measuring Page Views, Cloverleaf, and RIM on AT&T/iPhoney
A Review Of the Baja Fresh Nacho Burrito
Baja Fresh was blowing up around the time I graduated from college. I had the one near my mom’s house in my phone for a while and I set up a number of dinners for pick up on the way home from my job. Then the quality of their food went south so I stopped… Continue reading A Review Of the Baja Fresh Nacho Burrito
Lobsters, Terrorism, Fishing and Putin
Some of you may have read my last post and given a quick “who cares” about the RSS feed. Following releases by RSS from the White House means that you can sometimes get a jump on news. Sometimes you just get a reminder of what it is like to be hearing from our President each… Continue reading Lobsters, Terrorism, Fishing and Putin
The White House RSS Feeds Are Poorly Implemented
I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds coming out of our great nation’s White House. However, I can’t help but continue to notice that these feeds are really poorly implemented. Often they come with only a headline and no body whatsoever. Presidential speaches usually include a link to an MP3 of the speach in… Continue reading The White House RSS Feeds Are Poorly Implemented
