  • Ringtones for Treo

    I love my Treo 600. It’s a wonderful piece of modern technology. For instance, with the combination of Pocket Tunes, mRing and a memory card I can now use bits of mp3 as my ringtones, and assign a different one to each contact or category of contacts (to serve as a default for when I’ve got someone in a category but haven’t picked out a distinctive ringer for them yet).

    And so, in the spirit of being useful or some-such, here’s what I’ve created so far. (I won’t bother with the MIDI ringers I first tinkered with… most of those were bollocks anyway.) Mind you, these are short pieces of the tune in question, as nobody in their right mind’s going to listen to all three-to-five minutes of a song instead of, you know, actually answering the bloody phone call.

    I’ll probably make up some more later, when I don’t have to download them to my phone over the web. (Yes, yes, I need an SD reader for my computer. I know. I suck.) For now, all you Treo users out there: go forth and enjoy.

  • AIM now sucks more.

    If you normally use this, you should probably switch to this, with this plugin installed. Why?

    Because of this.

    Way to treat your users like garbage, AOL…

  • Like Martha Stewart ripping the sand vein out of a shrimp’s tail…

    I figure you all could use something funny to read, and since I can’t provide it directly I might as well link you to somewhere that can. Go forth and laugh it up, friends.

  • I’m so blogking this…

    Seen downtown, on the way from the MAX to the Amtrak station with Dawn this evening… the following signage, submitted for your amusement.

    I can only assume that they just couldn’t get their hands on a letter C. Ah well. Their loss is my gain.

    Because now, I’ve blog(k)’d their driveway. Heh.

  • The Name (Graphing) Game

    Found at Collision Detection, the following naming-popularity graph. Type in the start of a name at the top, watch the pretty graphs grow into place. Be amused, or some-such…

    Oh, and save yourself the trouble: “Karel” doesn’t show up anywhere in there. Yes, I looked.

  • I use links for filler.

    I have any number of things I could write about, but I’m having quite the busy day and will, in fact, be at work later than usual today.

    So, enjoy this snarky bit of linkage instead.
