Just trying to get the mobile blogging thing working correctly.

For some reason the last text message I sent didn’t work. I am still testing to see if stuff I send from here can be imported into Movabletype.

New Toy

Other than the fact that I picked up a new phone when the Marine wanted an upgrade for his that had been stolen, I have pretty much been using the money I have been earning online for gifts (Christmas, Birthdays, etc..) and bills.

freedomgpsI found this little Freedom Keychain GPS unit online earlier today and ordered it. I have been toying with the idea of getting GPS to go with my phone for quite some time now and it was one of the things that I was looking for in a cell phone but is not included. I will be better off with an external unit anyway that I know will work with Google Maps and I may even look at some of the other free GPS software out there as well.

My birthday is in just a few weeks so that will have to be my excuse and will be my gift from me, to me, unless of course I make a shitload of money between now and then and find something else even cooler 🙂

I should get this tomorrow or maybe Saturday if I am lucky. Not that I ever get lost but it will certainly be nice to have just in case I follow the wife’s directions going somewhere (he said as he ducked the blows…)

I still need to write a review of the new phone on my tech site, so if I ever get time for that I will post one on the GPS unit as well.

Not At All Happy…

I worked until early yesterday afternoon which makes today my one and only day off this week, at least until next Thursday. My boss called me earlier and I ignored it but then he sent me a text message shortly after since my voice mail was hosed. I unfortunately have to go to our weekly meeting this evening at five PM. I am extremely unhappy with that but there is nothing to be done. Luckily they changed it and I don’t have to drive to Oxford Alabama as originally planned. The meeting is in Tallapoosa, which is about 15 minutes west of me, just on the border.

So much for enjoying my day off with no work…
