Survived Hurricane Ike
Hurricane Ike was a major event in South East Texas and I apologize for the off topic post.
My family and me survived the hurricane OK. The house sustained minor roof damage but thanks to modern engineering it was able to withstand strong category 1 (119–153 km/h 74–95 mph) hurricane force winds. We were also not affected by floods. The only problem we have is no electricity, no phone, no internet and the cell phone service is very erratic. Overall we are in much better shape than the rest of Houston and surrounding areas. Driving around you can see all the destruction. TV images do not do justice to what has really happened here.
I do not know when we can expect power but will have my next post up as soon as possible …

No commentsReset Palm V digitizer with Z-Digitizer
I have been using Palm V handheld for last 9 years and have been extremely happy with it. I have tried upgrading to other handhelds but for my usage Palm V works the best. The only complain I have with Palm V is sometimes the digitizer drifts so far off that I cannot do anything. A hard reset sometimes fixes the issue but I end up loosing any data that was not backed up.
1 commentmagicJack your phone
For quite some time I have been looking for a cheap (and I mean real cheap) VoIP alternative. A friend recently told me about magicJack. I checked their web site and was intrigued by the product which is industry first. Online reviews are mixed - some good some bad but I was willing to take the $40.00 gamble. So far it has paid off - in the first week of usage I have been impressed with magicJack. The voice quality is as good as POTS.
