Browser

I seem to have stopped using Opera. I use Firefox, except for pages where I am forced to use Internet Explorer.

I havent really figured out why I stopped using Opera. One thing I really miss is Opera's ability to come back to the same pages I was at earlier. Or save a set of sessions Maybe there is an extension for Firefox which does this and I have missed it.

Palm Pilot

Yesterday my Tungsten E suddenly stopped working. I was happily reading stuff in AvantGo while travelling to work, when all of a sudden I got a few random horizontal black lines, then the screeen went black at the bottom and then right till the top. Pressing the reset button does not do anything.
Anyone seen this happen before? Palm India does not take kindly to palms bought from anyone else.

Keep the tip

63% of US males have not kept the tip. Why do they do such statistics?

And now they want it back? Seems so if Wired takes the trouble to run a story on this. People seem to be really working on getting the tip back. Methods abound.

An article on HealthCentral states that most Americans have never seen an undamaged specimen! So they provide a gallery. This give a whole new meaning to dick head. They even have an FAQ.

Never thought of this as such a popular topic.

iPod Penguin

It is fasionable to run Linux on any platform regardless of any need to do so. So it was only a matter of time before Linux on iPod.
Surely these man hours could have gone into something more productive. Like a iPod based blogging app ;)

Blogger clients

Decided I need to try out some client to post here. Both for my desktop and my palm.
For my windows I'm trying w.bloggar and for the palm, avantblog.

Saw the fillm Being John Malkovich yesterday.

Weird but wonderful. I had no idea what the film was about, it was a random selection. Enjoyed watching this. This morning I searched imdb.com for it and in the message boards found a whole lot more weird movies that I got to see.

This should keep me happy (and perhaps confused) for a while.
