Ok firstly winamp remote I couldn’t get working.

I’ll try out this other server when I get the details called hathaway or something to that effect.

Winamp remote is shit so don’t bother with it.

Regarding a question left on the comments section of the journal yes the keyboard works with native windows drivers and the setpoint software simply allows you to customize your keyboard’s special functions.

It can be run without the setpoint software.

Other then this nothing else to report today.

Will try out this other server and let you all know how it goes.

Ok i’ve now reinstalled the newest winamp v5.3.
Was having heaps of problems where winamp would take ages to startup. I’ve turned off some of the media library functions such as history and what’s now playing.

I’m going to try out the new winamp remote feature tomorrow after work and we’ll see how accessable it is and if you can play your mp3 files remotely.

In other news the keyboard arrived today the new logitech mx 3000 laser cordless desktop keyboard.

Very nice keyboard and it has an awesome key just on the left hand edge when pressed it closes the currently open window.
Man it’s nice no more pressing alt f4 this key does it all.

Also there’s a beautiful scroll wheel on the left hand side. Nice keyboard overall and i’ll give it 10 out of 10.
The setpoint software is accessable and I recommend this keyboard to anyone.

The price was $140.80 from
Eyo Website.

Take a look there site is great and they deliver next day if they have stock.

That’s about it for now. I’ll report on winamp remote tomorrow.

Ok all the new watches that I finally ordered a little over a week ago have arrived.
At first I thought the watches were both fucked due to the fact when I was pressing the mode button to set the time date etc, the fucken basted wouldn’t do anything.
I then thought fuck maybe i’ll hold the button for 3 seconds and sure enough this worked.

You can get more info on the w20 gents watch from
cobolt systems website

Take a look at this watch and i’ll be interested in your comments.
The watch cost 49.95 pounds.

Excellent buy with an expanding band and it’s an absolutely fucking corker of a watch.

Ok all it’s been a few weeks since I have typed in this journal.

I’ve just finally gotten round to setting up the Logitech cordless lx 300 keyboard and mouse.
Man oh man this keyboard is an absolute pleasure to use.
Very easy to setup simply connect the usb reciever to a spare usb port and install the software which you can get from
http://www.logitech.com/

This particular model is old I think by a year or so but there are newer Logitech keyboards out there.

The logitech software used to cause all kinds of grief to screen readers.
So far with window eyes it’s perfect.

My only complaint is there is only 1 windows key on the left hand side of the keyboard.

see you all tomorrow with more news.

Ok just making sure this new client is working and that I can post to the journal.

Will write more later on.

Hello again all and yes it’s been a very very long time since I last wrote in my antique journal.
Soon it will be worth more then me.

I just purchased a new bluetooth headset from Plantronics called the discovery 640.

It has some rather cool options.

Firstly you can either charge it from a standard ac power adapter supplied or even better yet you can charge it from a tripple a battery and not a rechargable one.
That’s awesome if your out and don’t have access to a power adapter.

So far in the time i’ve used the headset the calls are crisp clear and very impressive audio.
The headset is only the size of a bullet and fits in your ear.
You get 3 gell tips small medium and large. I think for the beginner this headset may be a little fiddly due to the extra adapters components you get with it.

My good friend adam bought himself the plantronics voyager 510 headset. It’s a single piece design and fits over your ear and the boom microphone can swival up and down and the actual guts of the headset sit behind your ear.
It’s cool but i much prefer the rubber gell tips on my particular model.
It’s personal preference.

I’ll write more on the headset once i’ve played with it for a few more days.
There are only 2 controls a volume up and down button and an on off button on the headset.

Very cool and i’m again very impressed.

I’ll do a phone post after the headset charges so you can hear what the quality is like.

Cheers for now and will write again soon.

Ok found 2 absolutely fantastic apps to try.
visit the pc tools site at
http://www.pctools.com

Syware doctor and registry mechanic are my picks.

check them out and let us all know what you think.

Ok today I successfully upgraded my ipaq from windows version 2003 second edition to windows mobile version 5.0.

The upgrade was a success and i’d personally like to thank Clint for his assistance with the calibration after the upgrade.
This windows mobile version 5.0 runs really well on this device and wireless is terrific as well.

I’ll report more as I find new features in this upgrade.

HI all.

Just wanted to tell everyone about some cool spyware removal software called
spyware doctor from
www.pctools.com

Very cool costs 29.95 and unfortunately in the trial version you can’t remove any spyware but hey it’s found spyware on my system others just didn’t find.

Also comes with some other nifty tools so take a look and hope you all comment on this entry.

Remember, women rock so treat women with respect and not as sex objects.

Thanks.

Ok firstly why the fuck does the pricing on the i-mate jasjar keep changing?
I’m looking at buying through
www.expansys.com.au
but they keep changing the prices every week.

I’ve written to them expressing my dissatisfaction and trying to get the price back down.

I’ll keep you all posted.
