This morning, my Nexus One stopped receiving emails. When I tried to refresh my Exchange inbox on the phone, I got a “cannot connect” error. Powering down and rebooting did not help. Any attempt to browse the web would just bring up the page shown below.
I called the T-Mobile Customer Support number while at a restaurant waiting for my [...]
My Nexus One was listed on eBay twice, but I cancelled the auction each time. That’s the kind of love-hate relationship I have with my phone. I finally decided to keep it and love it, but I cannot stop browsing the issues on the Android site so that I can at least hate it a [...]
I guess it was too good to be true. A phone that does everything that I want and need and could possibly ask for and is not an iPhone? Not the Nexus One. Or at least, not yet. Mine went on eBay today, and I hope that I will be at least able to get [...]
I frequently run into this very annoying bug in IE. I configured the browser to ask before writing cookies of unknown sites. When I hit a site that has both a Javascript error and a cookie warning popping up, there is a deadlock situation, since neither of the dialog boxes responds to input. The only [...]
If you, like myself, resisted all the peer pressure out there for joining the iPhone crowd, and instead held on to that funky Windows Mobile device, this may be of interest to you.

Time has come to replace my T-Mobile Shadow. I am no longer under contract, and the phone is no longer cutting-edge technology. My wife needs a new phone as well. The Verizon Droid has been creating some buzz for a while, so I started looking into what I’d be able to get for my money right [...]

So, if you are new to this subject and try to find information on the [...]
Renaming multiple files
In Windows 7 you no longer need to open a command shell or resort to 3rd party tools for renaming a list of files. Just highlight the files to rename, right-click, select Rename, rename one file, et voilà, Windows applies the new file name pattern to all selected files:
This was apparently already possible in [...]
My 3 year-old desktop computer at home is based on the Asus P5NSLI motherboard. It has a 3GHz Dual-core Pentium processor, 3GB of RAM, and a RAID-0 configuration with 2 SATA disks for my data (the OS is on a single non-RAID drive). I have 2 GForce 7600 GL graphics cards, not so much because [...]
A user of my TripsnMiles mileage tracker software for Windows Mobile reported display issues on a Blackjack II phone running Windows Mobile 6.1. I was curious to see the problem myself and bought a used phone on Ebay. My application turned out to run just fine on it, so I could have re-sold the phone. [...]
