Friday is here, time to take a step back from the hurried happenings in Mobile Tech Manor and look back at the week. Some gear went back where it came from and other gear arrived for play evaluation. I experimented with alternative e-book readers to get a feel for what I like best before all the “real” readers hit early next year. Step into the Manor and let’s shoot the breeze.
It’s Friday morning and that means it’s the end of another week at Mobile Tech Manor. It’s been a week of bittersweet happenings here in the Kendrick household, and I’ll share that with you. I am not writing this column as usual, I am actually dictating it. My renewed interest in dictation was triggered by a fair bit of time I spent with the Tablet PC. Join me in Mobile Tech Manor and I’ll share my week with you.
Another Friday, another chance to share my week with you. The week has been slammed, and one of those where I find I am running behind on all the projects I have in progress. This Mobile Tech Manor column is going to be much shorter than usual as I haven’t had the time I usually do to share the events of the week. Most of the week was spent trying new software and upgrading a program I depend on a lot. The Droid phone goes on sale today, and a review unit arrived yesterday so I’ve spent a few hours with it. Come on into the Manor and stay a while.
Ah, Friday, my favorite work day of the week. Not because it is the last work day, although that certainly is a factor. No, it is the day I get to share my week with you. My home office, aka Mobile Tech Manor, has been quieter than usual. This is in large part due to the weather we’ve been having, rain every day of the week. It’s like being in Seattle. It was a week of upgrades, breathing new life into some gadgets. It was an unusual week for me in the e-book department, as I read two non-fiction books for a change. Step into the Manor and let’s visit.
The end of the week is drawing nigh and it is time to share the past week with you once again. No new gadgetry showed up in Mobile Tech Manor this week, so I spent most of my time writing and playing around with software. I bit the big one and “downgraded” a gadget to Windows XP, even though all the hype was for Windows 7. I got tired of the Windows 7 crud I covered last week. I also got to thinking about something that’s bothered me for a long time. Come on in and visit with me a bit this fine Friday.
“Upgrading” to Windows XP
The buzz this week was definitely Windows 7, with the official launch yesterday. It was a non-event for me personally as I’ve been running it for months. I like Windows 7, even though the creeping crud I’m seeing more and more on different installations is really bothering me.
It is the end of another week and that means it is time to share the week at Mobile Tech Manor with you once again. The week was a typical one, lots of mobile gear and a lot of thinking about how I use it. I am always trying to improve my work methods, and looking to find new ways to get things done. Maybe it’s a failing on my part, this constant reaching for the best. Maybe not. I did learn a new way to do something this week and that was great.
I sent a cool gadget back where it came from, and already miss it a great deal. I noticed my “go-to” mobile device had changed. I also started having an uneasy feeling about Windows 7, as I have noticed some things that bother me about how it works on mobile computers. Come on in and I’ll share my week with you.
It is the end of the week and that can only mean it is time to share the past week with you, my friends. The days flew by as I was extremely busy, yet I had time to create a genuine disaster at Mobile Tech Manor. I had the opportunity to prove something to myself that I had long suspected. I saw a friend use mobile technology the way it is intended to be used, for maximum effectiveness. I had the unexpected pleasure of having a minor relationship with a new Nobel Prize. Come on in and I’ll share everything with you.
Whew! This week had me jumping through hoops with nary a moment to myself. It was a week where I found laptops and phones strewn all over Mobile Tech Manor, so much so that every time I needed to set something down I had to move one or two things out of the way. I did a lot of thinking and hands-on analysis of keyboards and what makes me like or dislike a given one. I had some devices updated and others waiting in the queue for updates. Spend a few moments with me and I’ll share it all with you.
It is the end of another week and that can only mean it is time to share my week at Mobile Tech Manor with you. It is by far my favorite time of week, no doubt that it always occurs on Friday plays a role. This week found me working with a slate in my hands quite often, and it felt good to get back to pen and ink. Digital pen and ink, of course. The week past also proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I simply cannot remain faithful to any web browser. Come on in to the Manor and let’s jaw.
Another week, another column sharing that week with you. Mobile Tech Manor had a lot of activity this week, with lots of gadgets leaving and some new ones taking their place. I had the chance to get back in the Tablet PC swing and it felt great. Come on in and let’s jaw.
