Laptop Shopping

In a later blog post that will explain why, I will find myself, at the end of the week, without my trusty Tablet PC - forever :( And so begins the agony of shopping for a new one. I say agony because for me, striking the right balance between price, power, options, battery life, and weight is very time consuming and reading reviews (often conflicting) gives me a headache.

I didn't use my Toshiba Portege 3505 as a tablet very much, but when I did it was VERY handy and now Toshiba has a multitude of tablets that are just as much in price as a regular laptop. Also, the brand was really reliable (or was I just lucky?). But wait, I'm talking myself into a purchase without considering the cool new technology that's come out since I was last in the market (that's what reading Engadget and Gizmodo will do for you).

STU! Is this THE Stuart Cowen I worked with at FBCE? I hope so. Hey man, we purchased 3 toshiba laptops for the staff to work on at Keystone Church. We have had NUMEROUS problems with them. They always seem to be in the shop or locking up. Anyways...I think you were super blessed by the tablet-PC! Just thought I would put my 2 cents in. Hope to talk to you soon!

Google Talk

Image
Google's Instant Message product hit the "shelves" earlier this morning for Windows only. There's no Linux or Mac client yet, but there are guides to connecting to the protocol on iChat, Gaim, and Trillian. Neowin post : Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk is simple and intuitive to use. There's no clutter, no pop-ups, no unnecessary software to install. Talk also features some interesting VoIP features like Skype. Google Talk uses the Jabber protocol however instant messaging members of other clients doesn'’t appear to be supported. So far, I love it! It's very lightweight and includes a newer GMail Notifier. Looks like you need to have a GMail account to use it, though. If you need a GMail invite to try the IM, I've got plenty - just send me your email address!

T minus 8 days: No Particular Update

Today was a hodgepodge of ramping up activities for the new SQL Server gig which starts on July 1st now (that's news, right?). I installed Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 5.5, but didn't get to do anything with it. I also read a few great tutorials on MSSQLTips covering Stored Procedures, SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Integration Services. My last professional exposure was SQL Server 2005, so I have some "refreshing" ahead of me. :) I am also amassing a list of books that I want to purchase (someday), but I'm still going back and forth on the "real bound book vs. eBook on an iPad" debate. eBooks are much less expensive and not as cumbersome, but will I miss the tactile quality of a bound book? Will eInk be as efficient for me as a few dead trees? Seriously though, I should stop moaning about it and just go the eBook route and become a proper member of the 2010 generation. There, debate over... I think. I'm behind on blog rea...

iPod has become wePod

It's true. Now that I've ripped all of our CDs into iTunes (including the Kids' CDs) and subsequently onto the iPod, I find that my wife uses it almost as much as me. In the morning, she's blasting music from it onto the kitchen radio. If she's going somewhere by herself, "Babe, where's the iPod?". In the family van on the weekends, she's spinning the clickwheel like a veteran DJ flippin' the wax. Don't get me wrong, I am not bitter in the least. Rather, I am totally jazzed that she "gets it". Now, I'm saving my pennies to buy her a "shePod". By the way, I don't think my darling would be using the iPod nearly as much if it weren't for the Griffin iTrip (er, weTrip?). It's a definite must-have accessory.
