Switching wireless providers

Well after a little bit of thought and a long conversation today with my buddy (let's see if he makes an appearance here) I decided to finally do away with my Nextel (which I have only kept for this long and dealt with the high pricing, is for the PTT/Direct Connect). So I ordered up a new Sprint Samsung A900 phone with Phone As Modem service. Now we just wait til it arrives!!! :D

Dapper Drake Beta 2 (Ubuntu is the dist of choice)?

I have to start by saying I have always loved Debian and Debian based systems. Anyway back to the point. I went from starting with early version of RedHat (Manhattan) to Debian and then to a bunch of Debian based systems in the interim. Then finally started using Suse 9.2, 9.3, and up until recently 10.0 (still use on some of my machines).

After many beta and alpha releases there is finally a release candidate available of openSuSE 10.1. It is still not production ready and has known bugs (some with documented work arounds) but still something SuSE users are excited about and have been waiting for.

Google finally unveils Calendar

After months of speculation and leaked screenshots, Google finally took the covers off of their new calendaring app. Promising gmail integration, and the ability to work with the iCal format, this could be the answer to alot of people's prayers. Be aware that the Google servers are getting beat to snot today. Right now may not be the best time to go check it out.

Universal Firefox Update Released

Mozilla released a security update to 1.5 (1.5.0.2). This version does have some security and bugfixes but the biggest reason for this update is it now has "Universal" support for the new Intel Mac's. Mac Lover's rejoice ;-)
