Blast from the past!  Java Tools from 1997. I wasn't watching computer chronicles at that point, but I remember some of this because in 1998 I started computer science as an undergraduate and the language was Java ;-)

U.S.S. Sagittaron NCC-94534 Well, after a couple of months of grinding through Star Trek Online with the new Legacy of Romulus expansion pack, I've played through the new missions on the Federation side (still haven't given the avatar a proper name and background.  Oh well, one of these days).  I've also just unlocked Tier V on the Nukara reputation front, which means I can start

Here's another old gem.  Never got OS/2 2.1, but I have boxed copies of 3.0 and 4.0 somewhere ;-)

Another dip into computer archeology: CP/M and how DOS overcame CP/M. Pretty interesting video from the Computer Chronicles

Wind Italy account notification after call So this is my last note on this summer's trip (at least for now).  Last time I vacationed and needed a pre-paid SIM I was in France.  This time, I ended up with one SIM card in Greece and another in Italy.  Based on the recommendations of friends I ended up getting a Wind SIM in Greece, and a Wind SIM in Italy which seemed like the better

I love this show ;-) The show is Mr. D. on CBC (30 minute sitcom). Here is Mr. D. in a web training video explaining the Periodic Table of Elements :)

myWind IT App Before I go ahead and talk a bit about mobile access while abroad, I thought I would start off with the technology fails of the trip.  Some were completely avoidable, and some, not so much. I guess first I will tackle the issue of power. The last time I vacationed I only vacationed with one device: my smartphone.  It was also a non-connected phone so the battery lasted

Roman Era Bathtub, Museum of Patra In the last part of the vacation wrap-up we have Greece, where we spent the most time during this vacation. I guess if I had to give an elevator (or Doogie Howser journal blurb) to this it would be "seeing old things with new eyes, and meeting new people." I guess the first thing to tackle is my Greek citizenship. After many years, and lots of back and forth
