Uninstalled SP3

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

After installing Windows XP SP3 I started having issues with my USB ports. After Googling, I see that many people are having the same issue. So I decided to uninstall the update.

I am back to SP2 and my USB ports kinda work. ActiveSync only recognizes my XV6800 Windows Mobile phone about 25% of the time. And I can no longer attach my Sansa e280.

Bummer! It is times like this I hate computers!

A note from David Brickner about his visit to Wasilla, Alaska

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Last month I had the privilege of speaking at a large church in the small town of Wasilla, Alaska. At the time, few people outside of Alaska had heard of Wasilla; now almost everyone in America knows that it is the hometown of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate. She not only grew up in Wasilla; she served as its mayor before being elected governor of Alaska. The Palins now attend the church where I spoke; in fact, during the second service the entire family stood before the congregation as their newborn son was dedicated to the Lord.

D-Link DSM-210 10″ Wireless Internet Photo Frame

This is the future of picture frames. If my mom/dad and mother/father-in-law ever read my blog, then they will know what they will probably be getting for Christmas (so mom, do not cancel your Internet connection!).

Being able to snap a picture on my cell phone, having it uploaded to Flickr and then have it appear on a digital picture frame like the DSM-210 will be great. (I currently have both my parents and in-laws using Slickr, which is a Windows screensaver that displays pictures from my Flickr stream.)
