November 26, 2009

After having to determine how to provide access to a MySQL database for a CIDR sub-net for the 100th time today (yup I must be getting old cause I keep forgetting this), and yet again not finding a quick reference on the web, I thought I would write a quick post on how to add permissions for CIDR sub-net on MySQL

November 4, 2009

Rogers are now selling the Blackberry® Bold™ 9700 online on their website (complete with mistakenly listing it as a “Blackberry Curve 9700″ on the detail page). Judging from their subsidized pricing ($299.99) based on a 3 year term compared with the no-contract pricing of $599.99, existing Bold™ 9000 owners with phones that are in good shape are best off selling their existing handsets unlocked for around $300 and then adding in $300 to buy the 9700…

October 21, 2009

Folks! The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 formerly known as Onyx has been released!
http://worldwide.blackberry.com/blackberrybold9700
Specifically this device has a screen resolution that is slightly higher than the already fantastic Bold 9000. The “pearl” is also gone and replaced with a new trackpad, and most importantly to me, the device is smaller than the Bold. I [...]
