I’ve got a lot more to post about, so this won’t be the last post from it, but OSCON is wrapped up for the year. The iPhone has been incredible for being at the conference. I took the laptop a … Continue reading →

OLPC Keyboard

Posted on July 26, 2007 by Joe

I seem to have automagically posted this to my old blog originally, so I’m reposting it correctly this morning: One of the things that changed the way I look at a system was included on the OLPC keyboard. I’m afraid … Continue reading →

Posted on July 25, 2007 by Joe

I’m trying to post a few pictures from OSCON (taken with my not-so-hot-but-okay iPhone camera) – but hey, they’re not too bad. You’re welcome to take a gander at my Flickr feed.

The public transit link that Portland missed…

Posted on July 19, 2007 by Joe

When it comes to public (and mass) transit systems, I adore Portland. They’ve done a great job, and like some other Seattle-ites, I growl periodically when I think about how short sighted this city was when thinking about its future … Continue reading →

can’t restore without activations…

Posted on July 14, 2007 by Joe

Well that’s just stupid. You can’t restore the iPhone back to a working setup without the AT&T activation system working – and I didn’t learn that it was down until AFTER I’d done the restore. Now I’ve got to wait … Continue reading →

wedged email message in the iPhone

Posted on July 14, 2007 by Joe

Well, I’m downloading the restore image and hoping that’ll resolve this. I’ve managed to wedge an email in the outbox that the iPhone can’t send (the mail gateway rightfully complains that it’s not a legitimate “from” address) and I can’t … Continue reading →
