  • WIN1200 Phone – Doesn’t work under Windows Vista

    So, we've had a Uniden WIN1200 VOIP phone for a while now, and it's really handy to use for web calling via Windows Live Messenger. (Yeah, this is starting to sound like an advertisement — it's not) I upgraded the home laptop last week to Windows Vista RC1, and now the phone doesn't work. I…

  • Oblivion: Achievement Unlocked

    So, last night I finally beat Oblivion on the Xbox 360. I started gameplay on May 19th, and finished on September 7th (all according to achievement tracking). 91 hours and 34 minutes of game-time. That's a long time.

  • Sharing iTunes Libaries with Multiple Users in Windows XP

    Diann & I have both had our iPods for quite some time now, and I've always had it setup where the iTunes libary is stored within my home directory. Kind of irritating, especially when she needed to update her iPod, I'd have to log in as me. I realized today that someone out there must…

  • bluetooth activesync

    Finally found a site that explains decently how to get an iPaq to do ActiveSync over bluetooth. Yay!
