Technology In The Gap

When I first got my gTablet I downloaded a whole bunch of apps.  I grabbed free apps from the Marketplace.  Amazon gives away a free app every day from its Marketplace.  I mean, I was an app downloading maniac.

And yet now, I’m more subdued.  I don’t always remember to bring it to work, and even when I do there are days that it doesn’t come out of its case!

Speaking of my gTablet, the best thing you can do for it is to “root” it.  The hardest part of this isn’t the actual process—it’s making sure you find something that’s up to date.

You see, when the gTablet first came out there was a lot of trouble with performance—and many people returned theirs.  So there are a lot of posts out there talking about it, how much is stinks, and even some of the instructions on how to make it better are out of date.

Woot had a deal on a ViewSonic gTablet, so at ~ $280 I couldn’t pass it up.  For some time I’ve wanted to try out tablet technology, and I’m definitely liking how intuitive it is to do some things.

That being said, there are hiccups, and I did root the thing.

Last night was supposed to be an easy night.  I was going to go downstairs to the big, Quad Core, 64-bit box and put together a simple DotNetNuke module skin for a client that I have.

First, I’m moving some content from some other blogs to bigger blogs in the hopes of getting more traffic and doing less work—imagine that.

Windows 7 is amazing.  If you haven’t had a chance to read up on it or try one of the betas, Windows 7’s interface and look is something to behold.

I’ve been trying out the RC since I found that my Windows Vista Home Basic was not going to connect to a company’s domain so I had to find a different solution.  What I found was that I really liked the features (especially the new taskbar) such that I found it hard/awkward to use Vista and XP after that!

So, when I started my new part time job this past Wednesday, I decided that if they had access to MSDN, I was going to see about going Windows 7.  I mean, when you’re just starting out, setting up a new system, that’s the perfect time to pick your operating system—and they’re already budgeting startup expenses.
