Having finished at my old position on Friday, I am now laptop less. I am trying to work in the most wired city of the world, through a 320×240 pixel Windows Mobile screen. It is both liberating and frustrating.
Despite playing it out in my head a million times, I was not prepared for the huge sense of loss as Sharine, Kylie & Hunter drove down 39th Street back to DC. I was also unprepared for the sheer number of tourists and people in Times Square … OMG
Sharine felt right at home in the throngs of the city. I felt like a kiwi trying to fly … pointless.
I can already feel the loneliness of thw big city settling around me. I want to share things with people, but this is NYC …

So I’m sitting in La Colombe Torrefaction in Philadelphia, it is hotter than a hairy guys armpit out in the city. So of course, Dean needs a teenie tiny cup of boiling hot diuretic … ah coffee is there anything it can’t do.
I got back from a big pharma client yesterday … wow now THAT is a product still manufactured in the US. Which means big coporate campuses, gorgeous LEED buildings, and MONEY! Now I’m hoping a train from Philly to NYC for a 2 hour meeting … gotta love the east coast!

Some of you may know that I’ve been a Palm fan since I left New Zealand. ARL bought me a Palm Pilot (the original) as a going away gift and I have been hooked ever since. Now automation has progressed significantly since then and when Palm announced the Treo 700w with it’s Windows Mobile O/S with Palm extensions and tight Exchange/Outlook integration. I decided to get me one. Much to my horror I had no idea that the Treo didn’t really have enough program memory to do anything. Often it would crash with just ActiveSync and Messaging open! I found some great packages to make life easier: PocketBreeze, Pocket Informant, Mobile Office Communicator BUT running them on the Treo turned out to be impossible. Until now! Thanks to two great posts over at Treocentral I have solved the problem: Treo 700W Fix for low memory limits and Suggested Registry Tweaks. I can now have PocketBreeze running, fire off PocketInformant to do action items, calendaring, and run Office Communicator and Messaging the whole time. My phone is on, email is connected, and mobile IM is active with my office network. However to run all this all day with a bluetooth headset I also recommend the Seidio 3200mah extended battery (includes extended battery door). After all, you bought the phone as the ultimate office automation toolkit not as a wee light thing to sling in your purse …
