3 things have stopped me from blogging
the greatfirewall of china which has blocked livejournal
an accident involving water and my Powerbook G3 Lombard
I've gottent 10 spam comments recently
so I just changed commenting to friends only

I'm blogging this through a nice service www.desktopondemand.com
it provides me with a gnome desktop in the UK
pretty cool
it has helped with a couple of problems in the short time i've been using it
including d/ling itunes

so i'm off to teaching nasdaken in a bit

i hope to get a new blog up at paynito.po.gs soon

Clean Inbox

2007-03-01T00:36:53Z

Yeah! I Got someThing Done. Hit select all twice. Then archive. Voilà, a clean inbox. I've started to label things a little more and to throw away some old emails from mailing lists I never read. I guess a next step would be to actually unsubscribe. Anyway it's cool. Now gmail notifier will say I have like 3 unread emails instead of 2000. In other news, I've signed a one semester contract with Nanjing University of Finance and Economics. I went to the Xian Ling campus yesterday. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the bus. Then 22 bus stops and one hour later I arrived at the school. It was 8 bus stops and 30 minutes to my old job downtown. Coming back home from Xian Ling took only 30 minutes. I teach my first class there at 2 pm today.

stuck at guangzhou airport and afraid to go to the airport hotel

2007-02-22T11:03:14Z

A Heng's plane was 5 hours late from Hanoi to GuangZhou. She missed her connection. She can't get another flight to Nanjing until 8 am. A lot of other people missed connections. All of the chairs in every lounge are taken and she's sitting on the floor. She thinks she'll be sitting on the floor for the next 12 hours. It's going home from Chinese New Year's time and China Southern Airlines is really terrible. They won't comp her a hotel room. There's a $25 hotel near the airport. They'll send a car or shuttle or whatever to pick her up. But she's afraid that it'll be a trap and she'll be sold off into slavery and I won't know the real hotel name to tell the police even if there really is a hotel. So she said she'd call her mother for advice.

Laid Back

2007-02-21T09:16:59Z

Kicking it at the pad this afternoon. Brewing up some medicinal tea A Heng's mom threw down. Listening to streaming Grateful Dead from archive.org. Met a 14 yr. old kid yesterday down at the running track. We went and climbed Purple Mountain this morning. At seven we're heading down to Confuscious Temple to see the red lanterns. It's five now. Anyway it brought back nice memories of when I kicked it with older mentors like Roger Clay and Chris Cagle. My Chinese is pretty bad so we didn't talk so much. He kept telling me to slow down and be careful. We had a nice climb up the mountain, then KFC for lunch. Anyway A Heng isn't a big Dead Head so I'm enjoying the space out time. Climbing the mountain today I really regretted that I bought a road bike for commuting speed instead of a mountain bike. I've been living a mile away from some really passable mountain biking for two years and only biked there twice. Lot's of mixed feelings about moving to Shang Hai. It'll be nice, culture, art, symphony vs. I don't want to go, I'll probably spend more time on the bus to get anywhere. A large crowded concrete jungle where my salary won't buy as much, and I'm leaving behind a mountain I never really took the chance to explore.

Apple Downloads never finish

Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2

Ahhh, 99.999% complete but I can't get my java updates from apple support or from software update to ever complete. I think this is needed to make jUploadr 1.1.2 for zooomr work. I put 400 pics from Vietnam on zooomr.

(Bob) Dylan's (got a) New Album

2006-09-06T12:15:45Z

Amazon Dylan's got a new album out, of course you heard about it on VH1 or read it in Rolling Stone. Here's the torrent. I should have seen him at the OKC zoo on July 4, 2000. But I was in Mexico City on a rooftop with Traviss and Nash for some reason that evening. Here's my old post for Neil Young, Pauls Simon and McCartney. I tried to go get me some o them cheap dvds they gots here in China today. But it seems there has been a temporary crackdown, so I'll have to wait until October. I wanna pickup all the Simpsons for 75¢ per dvd. My time is currently valued at $18 /hr. but if I can get sb. to listen to some Dylan that seems worth my time.

Tungsten E

My year old palm TE will not start up. When I turn it on I get the palm logo. I have tried a soft reset and all i get is the screen with the target to sync the stylus. I have not been able to perform a hard reset. I want to pull the cover off to check out the power switch because it's sticking. Any suggestions for repair? Any instructions for taking it apart?

thanks

Totally Dead Tungsten E

2006-08-25T01:43:57Z

I have a totally dead Tungsten E, I think it's related to these posts fromhttp://bitworking.org/news/Palm_Tungsten_E
http://bitworking.org/news/Palm_Tungsten_E
Posted by Frank on 2005-07-27
The power button does not work at all. I can press one of the other buttons and get in but cannot turn it off. I have to let it turn off after none use. Anyone else with this problem?
Posted by vis on 2005-05-24

My PLAM TUNGSTEN E does not turn on with any button. But however when I soft/hard reset it, it turn on then again turns off after about 5 secs. I tried connecting it to the wall charger but still it does not turn on. Any Ideas?

PALM gives only 3 months warranty on these what a shame for paying 200$ you just get 3 months? I would have not bought this if I knew about the low warranty period

Posted by bnbraj on 2005-06-23

Exactly same symptoms as bnbraj (2005-06-23). Yesterday my Tungsten E began turning itself off "automatically" following hard (pinhole) resets. The power button doesn't turn the machine on, but the reset button causes it to begin resetting. It stays on for a total of about five seconds, as bnbraj mentioned. This is enough time to show the "Palm Powered" and "Tungsten" startup screens and proceed to the stylus calibrating target screen before turning off. It turns off after approximately one second in the stylus targeting program. If I begin the stylus calibration procedure immediately, or if I exit this program, or if I push a button (Home, HotSynch, etc.), the machine behaves perfectly normally for about one second, then powers off. It is as if the "go to sleep" power off function were set to one second.

Here are more interesting wrinkles:

If I power off using the power button during the one second of normal operation, the machine turns off normally. I can then power on as usual with the power button; the machine starts where it left off in the stylus calibration program and operates normally for whatever is left of the one second, then shuts down. The power button becomes non-responsive again, and I am back to square one!

If I hold the power button in and hard reset, the machine stays at the "Palm Powered" screen until I release the power button, then prompts "Erase all data? / Yes='up button / No=any other button" Whichever option I choose, I still get about one second of normal operation before shutdown.

I would greatly appreciate any help or insight from anybody. I am freaked out not to have my trusty and heretofor durable E.

Possible solution to problem with Tungsten E:

Following up my previous post, I did some more research online, tried a few suggestions, and came up with something that makes me hopeful that the problem is fixed (time will tell if it is permanent.)

The problem, again, was that my Tungsten E would not turn on with the power button, and would stay on for only about five seconds after a hard reset. Nothing I tried altered this fundamental behavior until I tried the following:

1. Power adapter plugged in.

2. Hold in power button and perform hard (pinhole) reset. Release power button.

Message appears telling you that your battery is dead and that you need to charge it for several hours. With the power adapter connected, the on/off switch now works normally, and you can begin to restore your system or whatever.
--------
anyway my power button hadn't been working for 6 months and it had always needed a really strong press to turn it on or off, but i could turn it on by the big button on the 5 way navigator. or any of the 4 hard program launch buttons,
but after the g/f took the T|E on vacation, no dice, after charging over night I could soft reset with the pin hole (can't hard reset b/c the top power button isn't functional) and got 3-5 seconds of activity as described above, i could hit silk screen home repeatedly and scroll through the different apps screens but then dead. I'm charging again now, one poster said they replaced the battery, hmm. It's 2006, maybe the thing should be allowed to die, I just paid $60 for it more than a year ago. and I've dropped it several times. I was very happy with Real Player for mp3s, but now I'm a pockettunes fan on my Xplore GSPDA M98, but yeah If you have the secret to fix this palm drop a comment.

if you wake up dehydrated
drink water
don't brush your teeth
your body will try to suck up
all of the toothepastey water
instead of keeping it in your
mouth to spit out
few people (only those adept at yoga)
have the voluntary control of the

this from happening

Must Listen Music

2006-05-19T01:46:09Z

Paul is 2nd from left in case you forgot. Check out his new album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.

</t>

...
	Paul's got a new album out! Amazon. Listen or d/l here.� I heard about it from a Financial Times article via MarketWatch. This is really great stuff, he talks about loving and not being loved back and realizing your potential.��
	Surely you've given Smile a listen?� It's Brian Wilson and it's been waiting for decades until the earth was ready to receive this music.� Or look at how great this kid was and see how many years were wasted.� Performed live in London and including "Good Vibrations."� The 2 DVD set is sweet.� I handbrake'd it and watched the concert on my palm in a taxi the other day, got it down to 50 mb.� Disk one is 'making of.'� You'll cry if you watch them back to back.
	Paul Simon is out with a new one Suprise.� Anyone heard this yet?
	Neil Young myspace, amazon. Listen to the Full Album.� Neil raps about Iraq and us making the same mistake again.� He talks about the genocide of the Native Americans that (finish the sentence for me).� Have you listened yet?� Write me a comment.� Neil Young 11-15-76 Chicago here.� d/l links from http://www.g2p.org

why did i write this in memos?

2006-05-18T08:25:16Z

guess i was hung up on intellisync that let's me sync calendar memos contacts and tasks palm->yahoo and yahoo->palm, see gtd yahoo
5/17/06
Yeah, i guess alot of writers go through this. You read enough things where you say "I could write better than that." l refer of course to Charles Bremner's Travelblog that I was just checking w/ Quicknews (just 6 days left on my trial.) Maybe I can use Newsisfree.com on my smartphone in 2 weeks. That's my optimistic estimate. This stylus is small. I'm in a bus in Nanjing. It's 9:20 pm on wed. We took the whiteboards out of the classrooms today and had to write on the glass walls. I'm listening to Jerry Garcia. He woke up in the morning dew today @ the Greek Theater 6/14/85 (set 2). So. Will VersaMail accomplish anything as sync-only. What cool things can I do when I'm connected? How much am I missing out not having EVDO? Is there such a network in Nanjing China?
what else is new? i'm banned from ebay. (libelous mention of ebay seller removed) hasn't returned my emails since i paypaled him and he hasn't notified me that the phone has shipped. what's up doc? Ok. I got the phone, haven't got gprs setup yet.

looks like i'm getting a phone

2006-05-13T07:26:41Z

well that's what i get for bidding
so now i'm the winner or a palm flip phone, but can he ship it from hong kong to mainland? and 700p gets announced tommorow, i had the ebay bidding fever. oh well.
