It takes 21 days to create a habit. So I figure, why not use NaNoWriMo as the opportunity to create a new writing habit. So instead of sleeping in until 7:30 or 8ish, as I often do (I work 9-6), I’ve decided to start getting up at 5:30 am (gads!) and shower, start a pot [...]
Note the gadget in the sidebar under the NaNoWriMo participant logo. Josh and I are racing in November, and that shows you our current word count. I’m jeff.kirvin (duh) and he’s tibbarerew. May the wordiest mother f***er win.
I’m totally jazzed about NaNoWriMo. I’ve got the Chris Baty books, and the kit, and I’m going [...]
So I quit writing yesterday. Don’t worry, it didn’t take.
I had a really bad day that blew up into a major depressive episode. I had myself convinced that I was mistaking a love of fiction for a desire to write, that I was fooling myself into thinking that just because I can write well that [...]
I’m gearing up for NaNoWriMo, so don’t expect much in the way of updates for the next month or so. I’m going to be going full out on fiction, trying to write 50,000 words in 30 days.
w00t!

A great new freeware app has been posted on the Windows Mobile Team Blog. If you’d like the same autoreply functionality from the Treo 700w in a different WM5 phone, this is your chance.
I’d like to introduce (or reintroduce, if you attended my session at MEDC 2006 in Las Vegas) an app that I call The Mobile [...]
Mmmm… threaded SMS goodness…
And now my journey towards the Dark Side is complete…
If you’re anything like us, you’ve been waiting for a threaded SMS / MMS app to relieve our mobile Outlook view on messaging with Windows Mobile. Well, some dear sweet blessed soul has answered the call. Hacked directly out of a Treo 750v, which [...]
Before podcasts, there was Audible. I’ve been an Audible listener since 2000, and absolutely love audiobooks. But for years, the weak link in the system was the bloated, slow and cumbersome Audible Manager, a desktop application that you had to use to download your audiobooks and transfer them to your mobile device. I dealt with [...]
In our last installment, I talked about using a hosted Exchange provider, along with a Windows Mobile 5 device, Outlook on the desktop and Outlook Web Access everywhere else, to completely do away with syncing email, appointments, tasks and contacts. Just as IMAP4 does for email alone, hosted Exchange means that for all those data [...]
I haven’t given up on my current article series, Going Wireless. I’m still trying to find a really good way to sync documents wirelessly between multiple XP boxes and Windows Mobile. I’ve got a lot of solutions that don’t quite do what I want, but no “Eureka!” moment yet.
