Aug 30th, 2005 I’m DUN With It!

With my new Treo 650, Bluetooth, and [medium]-speed dial-up networking, I’m now fully-mobile. Even in the office!

It took a little bit, but I got DUN working on my new Palm Treo 650. I can now access the internet on my laptop wherever I have cellular service using EDGE speeds. In the Seattle area, that means an average of 90kbps, which is slighly higher than bearable …

However, today I welcome such meager speeds. Our office internet connection has been crummy all day — literally stopping and starting, and always slow. Sites never fully load, connections to servers fail or get dropped, RSS feeds return “invalid,” etc. It’s a web developer’s worst frustration — available but horrible internet access.

Enter DUN.

It’s a sad (but happy at the same time) day when your mobile phone gives better performance than your office network.

Hey Sean!!!

It’s been so long. I’ve checked in periodically at your sit to keep up with you and your bride – hard to believe it’s been over a year.

new site is cool but a bit over my head. ;)

Shoot me an email if you get a chance.

Hey Myca! Thanks for commenting!

Yeah, this blog is going to be a little more technical — I have too much of this stuff in my head and don’t want to gum up CommentSense with it.
