Upgrades All Around!

Shortly I will be releasing my first commercial app on Windows Mobile. As a result, I'm moving my blog from www.tsaot.com to blog.tsaot.com and turning WWW dot into my commercial page. This is an exciting time for me as I'm finally doing something I enjoy for a living. My first app will be small and I will announce it when it is ready in the next few days.

Sadly, the move of my blog will not be a pleasant thing as Wordpress is not built for such actions.

I'm getting tired of the Kindle's UI

Kindle's too simple interface. I'm getting tired of the Kindle's UI. The Kindle 2 has been out for nearly a year now and the best the dev team has been able to give us is a list of every file on the device and a context sensitive menu. I will admit that the interface is simple and anyone can use it.

Verizon Rant

All I can seem to type recently is rant material. Maybe I need to start looking for the good in my life instead of the bad.

In any case, I'm mad a Verizon.

In the next month or two I'm going to be booted off of my dad's cellphone plan to make room for my younger siblings. I need to get my own plan as a result. I've known for months that this was coming up so I've been watching the different coverage maps, cellphone releases, and data & texting plans. What I've found is that I really need to stick with Verizon.

Gateway Update

I just want to post an update to my Gateway troubles. They ended the discussion by telling me that as this is a Game issue, the cannot provide free customer support under warranty as it is not a Gateway hardware or software issue. So even though the laptop was advertised as a mid-range gaming rig in the store, they will not support it as such. Honestly though, this is the last Gateway/Acer laptop I buy. It has heat issues along with the enter button being mapped to the num-pad enter event instead of the normal enter key.

Hey! I'm back in the game. I will be updating this blog again on a regular basis. For this event, I am releasing my favorite app: Tsaot's Twitter Reader. This application is a Twitter reader for Windows Mobile 2003 that eliminates the need for a twitter client cluttering up you desktop by putting your feed on your PDA on your desk. If you have a Windows Mobile touchscreen device and need to get rid of an extra screen on your desktop, go download it! I do admit that I have ulterior motives for releasing this program.

Flash Fiction: Free Speech

Jared stormed into his office building. Casual greetings were either ignored or withheld if his face was seen in time. In his hand he held a printout of an e-mail he had received earlier that morning. In short, it said statements made in his Twitter account about co-workers were offensive and disciplinary actions were to take place this afternoon at two. He slammed the door open as he strode into Andrew's office.

Andrew was expecting this. He saw the anger on Jared's face and pardoned himself on the phone. Can I call you back in an hour?

Temptation

Wednesday. The hold my bank placed on the student loan I deposited is lifted today. Four thousand dollars (that, theoretically, is already spent) is mine to spend. Glee surrounds me as I climb down off my bed and under it to access my computer. I turn on the screen. What greets me is delicious. The night before I had started some large video podcasts downloading, so the machine was left on all night. At midnight it began.

He raised his fist above his head violently, a sneer on his face. Slowly, deliberately, she raised her own. Each was ready to attack. They froze, eyeing each other, trying to gauge what the other would do. "One," he growled. "Two," she returned, narrowing her eyes. "Three!" They both shouted as they swung their fists down at each other. His hand flattened. Her index and middle fingers extended. Their hands stopped mid-air nearly touching each other. "The last cookie is mine!" she yelled.

300 Words

Posted in
Lately I've been posting somewhat interesting posts on what was supposed to be a tech blog. To tell the truth, this is no longer a tech blog. Instead, this is a What I Feel Like blog. This change is due to an assignment from a class I signed up for on a whim: Creative Writing. The assignment is to write 300 words or more a day, 5 days a week, for 60 days total. The subject is anything I so desire. Now I hate to let words go to waste, and I am particularly proud of some of the things I have written. Heck, I've spent hours proofreading some of these entries.
