WordPress app for Blackberry

I am posting from my phone with the Blackberry WordPress app! Actually, I’ve already written a few posts using the app. It’s pretty cool because I can type while I’m offline and, say, waiting somewhere to pick my pink man up, save the scribble-age, and then upload it when I get on wifi. I do [...]

I dial letters! You can too!

As a follow-up to my previous wondering of how people call/text phone numbers that are spelled out on a typical alphanumeric keypad (i.e., awesome=2934663) on new phones that have a QWERTY keypad, I learned a new trick a couple weeks ago that totally answered my question!

Ubuntu’s alright

So I’ve been using Ubuntu off and on for about a month. Off, because it wouldn’t start up anymore if I didn’t defrag on Windows beforehand, because Ubuntu wasn’t given enough space to grow and my hard drive was kind of getting full. I was excited at first because I felt like I was being [...]

Inner (not really hidden) Geek

The nerd within wants to tell you that she loves Ubuntu and all the free-ness it entails. For those who don’t know what it is (I only heard about it recently from my tech savvy sis), Ubuntu is an operating system based on Linux. The only problems I have had are setting up my wireless network adapter, a super slow startup, and a misleading [...]
