PDA Shopping at Home (Oct 27 2003 04:58 GMT) - I'm a PDA and gadget nut. Anyone who spends enough time with me (more than a minute or so) can usually see this. I've been trying to find a PDA that I liked, something that I could use for PIM functions as well as for games and slightly more advanced things like wireless email checking and whatnot. I've been a Handspring user for the last few years. I started with a Visor Deluxe in 2000 (I know, relatively new, considering the age of the original Palm Pilot). |

Panther In Brief (Oct 27 2003 04:56 GMT) - I'm feeling terse, and much has already been written about Apple's new version of Mac OS X. So let me just say this: if I was an operating system, I would have sex with Panther. I'd be into pretty much... |

Fake Farting Dog Sets of Airport Alarms (Oct 27 2003 04:54 GMT) - From Justin: A novelty dog toy which breaks wind as it bends over has sparked a major security alert at a US airport. Page designer Dave Rogerson said he could not believe what was happening to him when the life-size mechanical terrier set off an explosives detector at Norfolk airport in Virginia. I don't know what's more amusing: The fact that such a dog exists The image of FBI agents putting cotton swabs in its ass The first sentence of... |

Impartial Cache (Oct 27 2003 04:51 GMT) - Lately it is with less frequency that news from the White House sends a chill up my spine, yet it seems the White House is using technical means to prevent spidering and archival of key documents.

Update Your PPCT Timezone! (Oct 27 2003 04:50 GMT) - If posts appear an hour off now that Daylight Savings Time has ended, you need to change the timezone in your PPCT account settings. Hit "Preferences" at the top, and change the Timezone field such that it's one hour "back". In my case, I changed it from GMT-4 (i.e., EDT) to GMT-5 (i. |

The Oath Of Allegiance (Oct 27 2003 04:49 GMT) - All new citizens of this country take this oath. It's been posted on Mrs. Du Toit's site for some time but I thought I would post it as a reminder of what those of us born here take for granted. When I was working in Connecticut last year I saw a man in Danbury, of Middle Eastern origins, who was studying for the naturalization test. He passed, at which time he probably knew more about our government and history than most natives. |
