Mobile Geek Must Haves

This past week took a huge step towards the future when it comes to mobile applications … for my world at least because Google ported another awesome application to the denizens of the mobile world. I’m going to highlight some apps that I can’t live without (or better known as .. Apps that make my wife hate me because I end up fiddling with my phone too much).

Applications:(Palm OS and Java based)

Mobile GMail – Google Mail at the "palm" of your hand. ( Background music: Whenever, Wherever by Shakira). Nuff said.
Google Maps for Mobile – This is the second time I mentioned this in my blogs. This app still rocks the boat! Looking for a Slovakian diner in Midtown Manhattan after realizing you lost your map?
Opera Mini – Better alternative than the sucky Blazer browser by Palm. I just wish there was a way to turn css off so there’s more reading than loading.
uBlog – Free blog application that I can use and it works with most blogs that support XML-RPC (WordPress, Movabletype,Blogger, Livejournal, etc). Sorry Xangans this is not for you. One cool way that I use this app is that I can take a picture of something in my treo and blog about it right away.
Pocket Tunes – An alternative media player for your palm. Can stream Internet Radio! Joe the Mango on the road in America? Pocket Tunes makes all that possible. Dear Joe ….

Middleware:

Java Mobile Edition – A life saver. Giving you the ability to use Mobile Java Applications in the Palm OS platform. Most cellphones use this as an application manager. A related application can also convert .jar’s and ,jad’s to .prc’s. How cool is that?!?

Other Stuff:

OpenDNS.com – This is not an application. Its a configuration change to your router or client machine that would enable you to speed up Domain Name Server Resolution. I use this both at home and my Treo. No more looking up wait time for me on the road. this makes all the above application much much better.

Disclaimer: you need an unlimited data plan for all these apps.

This is your friday geek reporting. Enjoy your weekend.

New Year 2018

What tremendous blessings and milestones in the Ababa family! We praise God for His grace in provision and favor. May our family continue to be a vessel for His glory.

We bought a new house! We praise God for giving us hope and peace as we had to simultaneously sell our previous home. It was a nail biting experience, but God’s provision and timing were perfect. Perze’s enjoying the gadgets and toys that come with owning a single family home like going green with solar panels + rechargeable electric equipment.

Elle is in her 1st year of school! She knows all her classmates’ names, is now reading, + 2 out of 5 days falls asleep on the bus ride home. She has recently been chosen to participate for a peer modeling group. One of her favorite hobbies is reading, + one of her favorite series is the "Little People, Big Dreams".

Emma is taking her 1st year of French, joined the chess club, is taking performance art, and is part of her school choir, 7/8th grade orchestra, + chamber ensemble. She is incredibly outgoing when it comes to auditioning, joining different musical ensembles, and has such a strong interest in performing. She helps her dad sing during his praise sets.

Changing schools for Zienne has been an positive experience, as she has found her social niche + is one of the top readers and math students of her class. Zi's hobbies include anything creative, making crafts, arts.
