I have windows XP but when I type “CHARMAP” in Run, it says that windows can’t find it? WTF!!!

Answer:
Character Map is a Windows Component.
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map.
If it is not there it is not installed.
Go to Control Panel>Add Remove>Windows Components>Accessories and Utilities>Details>Accessories>Details and select Character Map..
Windows will install it from the Windows XP on the HDD.

It’s no secret that I’m over-weight and out of shape.

I was hoping that skateboarding would provide a fun alternative to getting fit but it’s now winter in New England so skateboarding is not really an option.

The next best thing(s):

Balance Board – “A balance board is a device used for recreation, athletic training, brain development, therapy, musical training and other kinds of personal development. It is a lever similar to a see-saw that the user usually stands on, usually with the left and right foot at opposite ends of the board. The user’s body must stay balanced enough to keep the board’s edge from touching the ground.” ~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_board

Astrid is the best Todo List application for Android.  It looks nice, it has plenty of functionality and it syncs with both RememberTheMilk and Google Calendar.  Best of all, it FREE!!

PingDroid is a Ping.FM client for Android.  Ping.FM is a free social networking service that allows you to update multiple social networks like Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Bebo and many many others.

First you need to obtain PingDroid from the Android Marketplace or directly from the website. *If you download it directly from the web site you need to copy the file to an SD card and install from there.*

Once PingDroid is installed launch it and configure your Ping.fm Mobile Key.  From the settings screen select Ping.fm Website which will launch your web browser.  You’ll need to provide your username/password and once you are authenticated your Mobile Key will be displayed.  Remember it and go back to PingDroid. *Tip: Press the Home key for a few seconds to display all of the running applications.*

Select the Ping.fm Mobile Key menu item and enter your key and press ok.  You will then be sent to the PingDroid app where you can post your status to your connected social networks.

So I’m doing my usual OCD eBay search and I find a CECT I9 aka iPhone clone. The bidding starts at $195.00 or for $295 you can Buy It Now.  What a crock of shit!  You could buy a REAL iPhone fro $195.00on eBay.

Ovi.com by Nokia is a portal for Nokia phone owners that allows the synchronization your contacts and calendar between your phone and the web.  This allows you to save your data to the web without having to connect the phone to a pc and use the Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Ovi Suite software. 

For me this is a very useful feature for many reason:

• The company I work for does not allow non-company issued devices to be plugged into company equipment. 
• If I add a calendar item on my phone I can send it directly to the Ovi site as well.
• All of my Contacts and Calendar data is backed up.

Some other key features of Ovi are Photo/Video sharing and unlimited storage. Access to (yet another) email account with @ovi.com domain name.  *Choose your username wisely because you cannot change it once it is set.*

If you have a Nokia E71 you can take advantage of the Ovi software store but if you have a AT&T Nokia E71x you are stuck with the MEdia Net service/store.

If you live in the EU you can use the Nokia Music service.
