  1. Test post from the Treo 600

    Testing posting from the Treo 600 using Blazer 3.0. I’m quite impressed with Blazer’s ability to render CSS and handle JavaScript. UPDATE: Hmm, that was reposted 10 times, thanks Blazer…

  2. More Treo 600 Notes

    The 5-way navigator is absolutely splendid. I never even reach for the stylus unless I need to jot something in DiddleBug. This interaction control is by far the best I’ve ever used on a handheld, it fundamentally changes the nature of the machine to a one-handed device (except for typing in information). Any Palm OS…

  3. Charging the Treo 600

    Any Treo 600 developers out there? I want to get the definitive answer on whether or not I can use my USB-Sync cable. I don’t want to risk hurting the 600, but I also don’t want to shell out for duplicates of the equipment I bought in the last few months. The word I got…

  4. WordPress Mobile Edition

    I’ve added a WordPress Mobile Edition to my b2/WordPress Hacks page. Here is the announcement in the WordPress forum. You’ll want to check the post for some alterations to the next_post() and previous_post() functions if you use the WordPress draft status functionality. This post is part of the project: WP Mobile Edition. View the project…

  5. Random Tech Tips

    This is kind of obvious, but if you are having trouble getting your Mac to start up from a CD (hold down C at startup) or with extensions disabled (hold down Shift at startup) or from a different drive (hold down Option at startup), make sure your keyboard is plugged directly into the USB port…

  6. Mobile Accessible Bookmarks

    Thanks to Safari Bookmark Exchanger and SafariToHTML, I now have my Camino bookmarks on my web site where I can browse them conveniently from my Treo. I had been considering writing a script to create similar HTML output (maintaining the folder structure) for some time but never got around to it – now I don’t…

  7. Mobile Browser Detection

    In the last couple of weeks, I’ve gotten visits from these browsers: Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02; Windows CE; PPC; 240×320) UPG1 UP/4.0 (EISWeb 1.20.1; compatible; Blazer 1.0) Nokia Mobile Browser 3.01 to the ‘is your mobile browser not being redirected?’ page. The first two should have been redirected as I check for the strings ‘Windows…

  8. Sprint Wireless Connection

    Sprint seems to drop the wireless connection every 20 minutes or so (using the Treo Wireless Modem software). Not a huge deal but a bit of a hassle. Last night I was connected for 50+ minutes though, maybe if there is data being actively transferred at the 20 minute mark it stays alive or something…

  9. b2 Mobile Edition

    I created a mobile version of my blog. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, a request on the b2 forums prompted me to actually do it. Cruise over to my software section to grab a copy if you want to. Still some features I plan to add, but it works.…

  10. New Sprint Unlimited Data Rates

    I recently moved from Verizon to Sprint for my cell service, switching to the Handspring Treo and cancelling my Palm i705 service. This gave me cheaper service, an integrated keyboard on the device for e-mail, and a faster, more reliable data connection. All in all I’ve been very pleased with the move. Today however, I’m…
