Paper - one of the major Yorkie Terrorist Food Groups. As I walked down the stairs this morning, I found Loki had quite the party.

In search of a new CMS to launch the Sugar Grove Insider, I’ve come across a nifty little system called Mambo. Looks to be a pretty interesting solution as far as content management goes. It’s a php / MySQL solution that will run on Windows or Linux. The goal is to get the core installed and then use the addon components to setup a bulletin board for the community to use. We’re going to start off with some basic topics for the local organizations to post to as well as some special interest groups. Should work out quite nicely. If you have any recommendations for topics for the board, please email me!
My RIM Blackberry 7230 finally bit the dust and is on its way to the computer graveyard. When I went to the Tmobile store to see what they could do as far as an upgrade replacement I was shocked to find that the replacement the 7290 was $400! No way would I spend that much money on a Canadian handset. This led me to the investigation of the Palm counterpart. A little research at palm.com introduced me to the 650 which seemed to be a killer device. Unfortunately, Tmobile being the telco slackers that they are doesn’t sell it, they only have the 600. Checking eBay I found that an unlocked 650 was not in my nonexistent budget. I decided to play with the 600 and came to the conclusion that while it lacked Bluetooth, extra built in memory and a sharper screen, it would still do everything the Blackberry could do and at a much lower cost. I’ve only been using it for a couple days now, but overall I’m pretty pleased. There are a few quirks that I’ve noticed such as an oversized email bug that causes the phone to lock up but I come to find out from my friend Sue that this is an issue on the 650 as well. Maybe Tmobile or Palm will release a patch! If not there are other clients out there that I will have to try when I have some time. Until then, just remember, when mailing me, get to the point and keep it short! 
This is our yorkie, Loki. He enjoys long walks, stealing socks and feasting on various paper products.
Well, everyone else has a blog, so I figured I’d make one too. Afterall its free!
