My Insights

Consider this a public service announcement for my fellow Motorola phone lovers.

If you are anything like me, you depend on your Motorola phone to wake you up in the morning with either a high-pitched ring tone or just an mp3 song from the phone.

However do you find that once you are up, you have to disable the alarm only to enable it again for tomorrow? That was me for the past year and a half and when I found out there was a workaround for it … I was mad!

The workaround: Instead of hitting disable, hit the red key which is also used for ending calls and turning the phone on/off. This will stop the alarm from ringing and will reset it to ring again the next day without you having to go through the stupid disable/re-enable ritual.

I spent 2 hours in my car this morning for what should’ve been a 30 minute commute. Take a look for yourself …

Those who are familiar with the area will understand the severity of this traffic statistic. Rt. 29 is the lifeline of the area and having it shut down is just painful. I heard on 1500AM that this will be shut down for a few days … and no, I turned on 1500AM just for the traffic report!

For the past 4 weeks I have been deep into WSS v3 beta 2. For those (most) unfamiliar with those letters, it means the next generation of Microsoft Sharepoint. I still can’t imagine the largesse of this new platform that Microsoft calls Office 12. However, dealing with WSS has given me some idea of how big this thing really is. Without going into too much detail, I’d just like to say that although I am waist deep in beta hell, it is a satisfying experience altogether (except for the large number of bug reports I’ve written). Hopefully, I will have a working website to show you guys later this week so that you can see what I have been working on for the past 4 weeks.
