It being the first day of the work week, today’s challenge will be to last a whole day under normal usage. Given the 1230mAh battery inside it (vs the iPhone 4S’s 1450mAh non-removeable one), and the demands of a full work-day, this will likely be make or break…
Pre3xistence Day 1 redux
Homebrewing is fraught with difficulty… After googling and a lot of trial and error, this is how it worked for me: – Enable developer mode on the Pre: + ‘just type’ the following: webos20090606, then run the secret app and follow its instructions. – Download and install the Palm SDK on the Mac – it… Continue reading Pre3xistence Day 1 redux
Pre3xistence Day 1
Today was the day the SIM went in and the full immersion was to start. After yesterday’s random reboot problems were solved, there was still a niggling issue with performance. Touch responsiveness has always seemed sluggish and reactive, and according to precentral (again) this was because of detailed logging being switched on by default. If… Continue reading Pre3xistence Day 1
Pre3xistence: Day 0
After all the enthusiasm of last night, this morning’s cold hard daylight revealed a clean cutover would require some additional tools (like a micro-SIM tray). These will be acquired post-haste.

Pre3xistence Prelude
This evening, a good friend popped over with his kids for dinner. And with a small box from America. Apparently, despite its being killed off prior to launch by the even shorter-lived CEO Leo, the AT&T-version Pre3 is available for sale – if you know where to look. This good friend happens to know I’m… Continue reading Pre3xistence Prelude
Thoughts on Siri & Search
I’ve been conversing on and off with Siri since she first appeared in our house, trapped between two sheets of Gorilla Glass. Some things of note so far…
Condescension
So I’d put our youngest to bed but she refused to settle. One extended cuddle, drink of water, lullaby, dummy attachment, and short cuddle later, she was still upset. No idea what was wrong, I was starting to get frustrated – but then noticed that she’d been pointing at the floor the whole time. Lightbulb… Continue reading Condescension
Psalm 7
A shiggaion of Walter, which he sang to the LORD concerning recent distressing correspondence LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or their words will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me. LORD my God, if I… Continue reading Psalm 7

Psalm 73 (as translated by me)
I know that God blesses His faithful followers, the people who have been justified in Christ Jesus. But sometimes I think – What if…? if… I wasn’t a Christian – I could have all that stuff. Other people, people who aren’t Christians, have such excesses – it seems wasteful. They are so pretty – no… Continue reading Psalm 73 (as translated by me)
