Getting ready for Boston

Alastria and I are going to Boston to visit her friend for a week. We fly out this Sunday so we will be there in time for the huge six day 4th party!
Should be pretty cool. Will also be my first time flying. :)

I just need to figure out what gadgets I need and which power cables to take. :D
This will be a Pocket PC only trip. So far I've got:

  • Pocket PC phone, Siemens sx66
  • Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard
  • Stowaway Bluetooth mouse
  • Veo 1.3MP SD camera
  • Bluetooth GPS
  • USB sd card reader for emergency data exchange ;)
  • Moto Bluetooth headset
  • Extra SD card loaded with music (ebooks, games and maps are on the main card)
  • Power cords for all
Which brings me to the question, will there be power outlets on the plane? If there are I would guess the lighter kind like in your car and not the wall type. But we are flying cheep so probably none. :)
So do I bother taking car chargers for everything or just the wall chargers?
I guess I'll take my Gameboy SP just in case. That battery will last through the flight. :)

Stay tuned for live updates from Boston.

The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

A few months ago I dusted off this blog which I had not touched since 2011. The reason? I was prompted by an article written by Mike Elgan about how famed podcaster and internet host Leo Laporte was dropping social media all together. No Facebook, no Twitter, not even an Instagram. Leo retreated to the safety and security of his own blogs. A world totally under his control. That got me thinking about my terribly limited use of social media (i.e Google+) and why I even bother using it. My engagement on the once flourishing Google+ had all but dried up. I really only communicate regularly with three or four people on the platform these days. All of this lead me to examine the reasons I still bother to post anything to Google+ and the answers were pretty simple. The primary use? To share photos of our travels and grandpuppy with our family. The others? To read the news and to share and converse about things that I like and that matter to me. Then came the announcement that Goo...

The end of an era...

I received an email today from Blogger informing me that as of March 26th they will no longer support FTP blog publishing. My blog has been powered by Blogger since 2004 and FTPed to my hosting service. I really don't know exactly what I plan to do. This site can remain exactly as it is but I will no longer be able to update it via Blogger. For the time being I plan to move this blog over to http://batcaveweb.blogspot.com . Google supports custom domains and such but I'm not really sure I want to continue to use Blogger after this change. I will loose all of my custom sub-pages and a whole lot of customization ability. The same goes for the Istari blog. I will be moving it over to http://istariguild.blogspot.com . I may at some point use the custom domain option to redirect batcaveweb to the Blogger server but I doubt it. I will probably have to start from scratch and move to some custom content system. However, I really don't use my blog all that much these days so...
