Testing Ink Blogging

Testing Ink Blogging Trying to get a few tools working with each other. Got Windows Live Writer set up for my blog but I want to get it to work with Windows Journal and Posterous. Let’s see if using the Send To Email plugin will work for posting to Posterous. Also grabbed the Ink blog plugin, Snipping Tool integration plugin, and Clipboard Live. I’m imagining copying the entire page from Journal into Live writer and then emailing to Posterous.

Disabling Roaming on the Palm Pre

As with others, I’ve noticed the bars on my Palm Pre jump around quite a bit, and at times, switch to roaming.  It may be a bug and will definitely contribute to the not so great battery life.

I found this thread on the Palm forums and noticed you can disable roaming and stay on the Sprint network.

How do you that?

 

Open up the dial pad, tap the Sprint logo at the upper left hand of the screen, and select Preferences.

Under Network, you can then switch the Voice Network from ‘Automatic’ to ‘Sprint Only’

Interesting enough, at the bottom of the screen, there are buttons for ‘Update Network Settings’ and ‘Update PRL’.  I guess it won’t hurt to updates these.

Shortcovers eBook store and reader for the Palm Pre

I downloaded and signed up for Shortcovers, a eBook store and reader for the Palm Pre. What’s interesting is it appears to be all cloud based. I bookmarked the free book ‘Blood Hunt’ and when selecting a chapter, it takes some seconds to load up.

Updated Gadget Bag

I received the last of my items today to complete my Asus Eee PC 1000H purchase (for now).

First is a generic travel adapter made for the Asus Eee PC 900/901.  The 1000/1000H uses the same 12V/3A so it works fine.  I bought two at around $8 a piece.  The totally was around $40 because eBay people like to rip people off on shipping.

On the left is the original AC adapter.  On the right is the new travel adapter.

Next, a new gadget bag! Yay!  I bought the Eagle Creek Vagabond bag from Amazon for $65.  I love it!  While there’s plenty of compartments, overall it’s very compact.  The dimensions are 11 x 12 x 3 inches, so the 1000H fits in there nicely.  It’s not a tight fit either.  There’s still a bit of space in the main laptop area.

Finally, here’s all my crap laid out on the table.  This is probably the most I will carry with me.  Under normal circumstances, I won’t need the external hard drive and Tekkeon battery.

From top-down/left-right: 

(Top row) 12V/3A Travel charger, Canon TX1 case, LAN cable, Tekkeon MP3700 cable

(2nd row) Eagle Creek Vagabond Shoulder bag, Asus Eee PC 1000H, Tekkeon MP3700 50Wh external battery, external 250GB hard drive w/ cable

(3rd row)  Retractable mini stereo to mini stereo cable, Retractable USB to mini-USB cable, SuperLink transfer cable, iPhone Sync cable,  Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth mouse, CradlePoint CTR350 EVDO router.

(4th row)  Paperclip, Cleaning cloth, iPhone earbuds, Novatel U727 USB EVDO modem, iPhone 1.0

IMG_5178 

The CradlePoint router I have needs power but I can use the Tekkeon battery to run it if needed.  I forgot to include the bluetooth GPS receiver, but it’s tiny and takes very little space.

 

All packed up.
