A reader (thanks John!) was kind enough to send me a link to an article proclaiming that T-Mobile is going to stop selling the @Home service.
The article reads like it’s a done deal, and sure enough it is. Further research confirms that T-Mobile is stopping sales of the @Home [...] Continue Reading…
I moved this past July to a new house that previously had FIOS installed. I was pretty thrilled with the prospect of getting off of Comcast and moving to Verizon FIOS.
It’s been almost 4 months now since first switching to FIOS for my internet and TV, and as [...] Continue Reading…
Wish I had known about the excellent call forwarding options that came with the @Home service. If you do nothing else, at least look at the CALL FORWARDING IF NOT REACHABLE option. Can’t imagine why would NOT set that one up at least. In fact, after looking these over [...] Continue Reading…
Came across some good stuff over the past week. Usually I’m too lazy to blog about this stuff, but I gotta hand it to Microsoft – they suck at a lot of things, but Windows Live Writer kicks ass. Nothing else out there touches it. So, without further [...] Continue Reading…
Hard to believe but it was just over one year ago that I heard about the Tmobile@Home service and, unprepared, I walked into the Tmobile store and purchased my setup. But alas, it’s been a full year of using the service and although I haven’t blogged enough on [...] Continue Reading…

Wanted to take a shot at exercising Captivate 4’s new (and very useful) new features: actions and variables.
To try them, I decided to create something useful (for once!) by putting together a sort of ‘user progress’ slide. The premise is that there is one central slide that is a [...] Continue Reading…
I’ve been using Captivate 4 extensively for a week now and I think it’s just a completely different product from previous versions. It’s awesome, while previous versions were just marginally useful to me. Heck, this blog gets hundreds of readers per day and you know why? Because of the [...] Continue Reading…
Found a bug? Or just a limitation? Either way, if you try loading Captivate-generated movies into a Loader instance, like this:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(”myCaptivate.swf”);
myLoader.width = 400;
myLoader.height = 300;
addChild(myLoader);
The result will be that the Captivate gets loaded but you won’t see it. You can hear it so long [...] Continue Reading…
