A Tech Request, and some Search terms

Feb 14, 2010 in Tech, What Were They Thinking

Still no new panels from me guys, but let’s hear it for Matt. I’d forgotten about today’s post.

So I’ve been using an old HTC Touch, hacked to run Android. I’m not a fan of Windows Mobile and to have a Palm Pre- which I *love* – means giving up my gandfathered plan and spending a lot more a month (which I can’t afford, obviously). On Friday, my phone died a spectacular, sparking death. Sprint is sending me a replacement, but it’s a newer model, the Touch Diamond, which can’t run Android in a usable fashion, and doesn’t even have a memory slot.

If any of my regulars might know of anyone who might have a Sprint Touch floating around, can you let me know what they’d want for it? I can barter.

Thanks.

Now then, on to some really messed up Search Terms.

I’m starting with a winner. The other day not one, not two, but <b>three,/b> people found this blog by searching on “hulk gets kicked in the nuts”. Seriously. That may disturb me more than the person searching on “gay kissing cousins” – I have no problem with the first half of that phrase, but family reunions are not pickup bars.

And finally, after all the odd sexual fetishes, the usual ones, the people searching on my name (hi boss?), the combination of comic characters and some sort of sexual term, a couple of searches on Dr. Lander that may result in some very odd looks when I make a shiva visit today, and assorted cries for help, we have this:

“doom pig”.

I don’t know what a doom pig is, or where it was featured, but I now want one. No, I’m not saying “now that I’ve heard of it, I would like one,” I mean I want one NOW. This second.

Doom Pig is above your Kosher Laws, Spider-Mensch!

(I didn’t sleep much last night, does it show?)

Son-of-a…

So I keep all my scans and whatnot on a flashdrive. Today iIdecide I should really back it up…and it refuses to mount.

Fortunately, I just uploaded a TON of stuff to the site, and a month’s posts are done… but all my Batman, Green lantern, and Golden Age unedited stuff was on there. As in two year’s worth of work and a year’s worth of posting.

I’m getting tired of this. Maybe I need to pack it in.

Old Tech.

This brings back memories.

This isn’t much of an exaggeration of the size of a hard drive once upon a time. I once opened an ancient IBM machine and the drive was the size of your average tower system these days.

I bet that sucker in the picture holds a whopping megabyte!

Now you can drink deeply of my beauty.

My Playstation 2 is finally dead. Disk read errors and nothing is fixing it.

Feh.

Then the stupid controller cable fell out and won’t go back in.

How am I supposed to play Marvel:Ultimate Alliance now?

Testing Out a New Toy

Sep 11, 2007 in Tech

Gave my wife my Treo and upgraded to a T-Mobile Dash. Trying out PhoneSharpMT, an app that is supposed to support WordPress.

Good keyboard but the predictive text is really slowing me down. Lack of a touchscreen is also odd.

Edit: Okay, this is annoying. I’m returning it.
