WebOS 1.4.5 Battery Life is Better

Hal — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:25:39 +0000

Since updating my Palm Pixi to WebOS 1.4.5, my battery life seems to be better. I haven’t done a scientific test, but subjectively I can tell a difference.

My Palm Pixi Updated

My Palm Pixi got it’s WebOS 1.4.5 update this morning.

It downloaded the update in the background and when I checked the “Updates” app it told me the update was ready to install. After touching the install button, it took about 10 to 15 minutes for the update to install itself. My phone restarted and everything was working.

I’ll report if I can tell a difference later. I’m hoping it gets a little speed boost.

WebOS update now arriving.

World Cup – Go Netherlands

I’m cheering for the Netherlands in the World Cup. I don’t really follow soccer, but it is the World Cup. I picked the Netherlands because I totally love Dutch Goth Rock.

I am trying the swype keyboard. It really works well. Even when I am not very accurate. I love android.

Photo I Took on Book Cover

Today I received the free copy of a book with a photo I took on the cover. I’m very excited. It is the first time a photo I took has ended up on the cover of a book. The art director really made the cover look great. The publishing company is Great Little Books.

The book title is The Longbridge Decision. The photo on the cover is one I took while visiting the Texas Capitol building in Austin, TX. You can find the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Below is a picture of the book I received with a picture of the back flap at the bottom of the picture.
