    • Time for a new phone

    Apr 11 my contract with T-Mobile is up.  We currently have a family plan, with 2 Blackberries on it.  My work no longer reimburses for my part of the account so no real need for me to have a Blackberry anymore (only reason was because of enterprise integration).  So now the time is right to make the switch to something else.

    Something else being Iphone or Android.  Lets examine the choices.

    • Iphone 3GS 16 or 32 GB.
    • Nexus One
    • Droid
    • HTC Desire?

    In terms of plan, I am looking for unlimited everything.  Unlim voice minutes, texting and data.

    So, I just priced the Iphone 3GS 16GB x2 on AT&T’s website, $495 upfront and $210 a month.  Holy crap!   Read the rest of this entry »

    What I want from Drupal 7

    So tonight, I didn’t feel much like anything.  Logged into Wow, meh.  Logged into EVE, meh.  Don’t feel like playing any of the games I have installed, don’t feel like reading on the nook, watching TV or anything really.

    meh.

    And then I got an email.  An email telling me, that a plugin on Aharon’s blog needed updating.  I mean that isn’t exactly earth shattering news, but it has got me thinking on why I still use wordpress for my blogs, but love Drupal so much.

    Simple reason.  Updates.  Drupal BLOWS for updating compared to WordPress.  Let me walk you through what it takes for me to update a plugin in wordpress, or even upgrade wordpress itself to a new version. Read the rest of this entry »

    So much to learn, so little time.

    I’m having some major schizophrenia with learning these days.  Just so many disparate things I want to learn and I’m not making as much progress learning as I used to.  I used to be able to suck up a new subject once or twice a week.  Like totally suck it up, have a great understanding and be able to expand on it and move it in new directions.

    Right now I am on like month 3 of several things.  I think it’s a case of trying to do to much.

    I have a course coming up soon on Pen Testing with Backtrack (PWB) that I am pretty excited about.  It’s 30 days of labs, a bunch of video lectures and a final exam that is 24H long.  Yes, 24H exam, I cannot wait.  I haven’t had anything really challenge me in a while.
