Note to self

Don't watch The Food Network for extended periods when hungry.

So to satisfy my hunger pains I went to Red Hot and Blue a bbq joint. There are a few up here in Northern Virginia I'm not sure where else. I got a sandwich to go, but next time will eat in as I think the portions are a bit bigger. They do have a wicked hot bbq sauce. I know everyone has a really hot bbq sauce, but this one is definitely hot, but a good hot.

Saturday in Warrenton

I'm bored. Beautiful day, but nothing to do. Went to the pool and was hoping housekeeping would have cleaned my room while I was away, but they are still at the other end of the hall.
I have been using the wireless connection versus the wired connection at the hotel, amazingly faster. I can get a wireless signal poolside but the screen on my both my laptop and handheld are to hard to see.

I should be studying, but I wonder whats on HBO...

Gadget Review - Skype for PocketPC

So I bought a used HP Ipaq 4700 around two years ago for whatever reason and was really excited when Skype developed a version for PocketPC. Initially it was model specific, so you had to find your model, download the software and install. It didn't work. Then Skype came out with an all around version for all PocketPC's, it almost worked, but when I tried to make a call the program would quit. Well I overheard someone saying how he has been using Skype on his Ipaq and I thought, well it should work for mine then. So I went back to the Skype download site and see that the latest version was something like 2.2.0.32 where I had version 2.2.0.23, would it make a difference? YES! I can actually get Skype to work on my Ipaq now. The point? So anytime I am at someplace that has a WiFi hotspot I can logon to Skype via my handheld and make a call : )
If I am really geeky (Okay, so I am), I also have a Bluetooth headset for my Ipaq, so I can use this in conjunction with my Ipaq just like a cellphone.

Now really what I would like is a PocketPC capable cellphone, then I can have the best of both worlds : )

Trip Report

Well I'm here in Warrenton, VA, aka worlds most boring city. My flight to Buenos Aires was without incident. Made it to the airport in Montevideo with minutes to spare. Had submitted for a upgrade on United and was waitlisted, which I thought for certain meant I wouldn't get it, but surprisingly even had a choice of seats : ) Of course it's always nice to fly business class but United business isn't that special, although the meals are usully pretty good.

Chris met me at Dulles which was a nice treat as I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've arrived at an airport all by myself.

I'm staying here at the Holiday Inn Express, nothing special except they do offer a halfway decent breakfast and the rooms have a fridge and microwave. I have lots of Priority Club (Holiday Inn) points so I tend to stay at their hotels to keep up my status with them.

So back to the boredom.
