hardcore treo user
about a week or so ago I broke my thumbnail off and it has grown back, albeit a bit cattywumpus. However, it seems to be the right shape for using on my Treo touchscreen and I don’t have to break out the stylus very often.
Hmmm, may have to keep it this shape.
CHICAGO: Day 00 (!)

I’m here.
Originally uploaded by fredlet.
At the corner of Clinton and Van Buren in Chicago cooling my dogs after flying all night (and surprisingly, *sleeping* on the plane all through the SAN>>ORD leg in the center seat) then taking the CTA to Union Station-ish area where Amy and I ended up last time we passed through here.
I dub thee MY STARBUCKS! They even got my triplebrevetepidnofoamlatte right.
Hell’s bells.
I was kinda sweating it taking the blue line since I didn’t obsessively plan this trip like the last time I was out here… and I have slept since then so the details didn’t stick too well.
In fact, I’m surprised I am not freaking out right now… could be sleep deprivation, since I didn’t put EVERYTHING into my Treo (though having an unlimited wireless connection helps my Asperger’s more than you’ll ever know) such as the station I should get off of to get to Union Station, the exact name of the hotel (but frankly, I googled it earlier and only found one of that general name, and can google it from the Treo – see? Calming effect.)
One would think that I am calming down, but I think its just that I have found a suitable remedy for my neuroses.
I was walking from the plane to the blue line and was thinking about how other cities *in the U.S.* make me nervous, but other countries don’t.
Haven’t figured that one out yet.
Also haven’t figured out what makes me such a nervous nellie at times and yet, some people tell me I’m very brave… I think I just fake it well.
We shall see.
I’m really looking forward to this weekend. (think JournalCon without those pesky conferences and all the food, drink and more shopping with the same crowd. JournalNon if you will)
I was reading TranceJen’s entry about this weekend and was happy to note that it wasn’t just me who is in a state of awe at the friends I’ve found on teh intarweb. Now I kinda groc the whole letter writing culture of old that has been resurrected in a slightly updated form.
Well, there’s your disjointed entry for this weekend. I’m going to have about 3 hours sleep in the next day (added to the distinct lack of sleep I inflicted on myself by leaving getting ready until almost last minute before I left… (Hey, I think I’ve been kidnapped by aliens and my pod person is a slacker.))
It reminds me of going to Paris and the resultant out of body state I usually have getting used to being at home again in my city and th 9 hour time difference between SFO and CDG.
More later…

treocentral.com >> Stories >> Commentary >> International CES 2005 Coverage: “WiFi Sled for 600 and 650
A company called enfora was demonstrating a non-functional Wifi Sled for the Treo 600 and Treo 650. The sled connects to the serial port, and comes with drivers that allows for full TCP/IP connectivity on the Treo.
The sled has its own internal battery, allowing for longer usage times. Battery life is stated as 5 days standby, 24 hrs usage.
Since the sleds at the show were not functional, we were not able to determine the throughput. The serial connection will probably be a limiting factor.
List price is $149, and the 600 version will ship in February, the 650 version in March.
Correction: Changed price to $149. “

38 pages and stilll no joy.
I know there are ways of getting the wifi cards to work on the 600 and 650, but, as alluded to in the thred, I’m sure that Sprint and AT&T are more than willling to pay PalmOne a little something-something to keep that from happening to support their bend-over pricing on data usage.
