Handy Zaurus applications.

I dont know if I've mentioned before that I have a Sharp Zaurus 5500 Personal Mobile tool or not but I do and it's quite handy.

I've found a number of programs I love:

Gaim
Mileage
Opie Reader (With the addition of Plucker)

I'm currently searching for a PIM that I like, I tried using MiniRubyWiki Which worked but it required a lot of upkeep in starting and stopping it every time I changed my network settings so it would have the new IP.

I'm using TKCRom so I no longer have the Sharp PIM apps built in, but I didnt like them anyway.

Another Lan Pary

Another Lan Party this weekend,

They are starting to become a quite often event it seems.

This weekend it was at Doug's house, Which was nice for me as I'm about 15 minutes away from his house instead of over an Hour away from Chris's House.

Doug has a nice house, Two floors, decent yard and best of all AC.

There were 7 of us this time and we played the same two games we always play, C&C Generals : Zero Hour and Battlefield VietNam.

We were supposed to start at 10am per Doug's email, I arrived there at 10:15 because of a slow gas station line.

Unfortinately the next person arrived at roughly 11:30am, And forgot to bring the table they were supposed to bring to set up on (7 gamers with space for 3 machines does not a lan party make).

Luckily we were located close to a Super Walmart where we purchased a new table, food and drinks and lunch at the Wendy's in the parking lot.
