Pope Benedict XVI loves cats

Apparently the new Pope is a cat person. Check out these quotes from a news article Peter sent me.

"I went with him once," said Konrad Baumgartner, the head of the theology department at Regensburg University. "Afterwards, he went into the old cemetery behind the church.

"It was full of cats, and when he went out, they all ran to him. They knew him and loved him. He stood there, petting some and talking to them, for quite a long time. He visited the cats whenever he visited the church. His love for cats is quite famous."

ActiveSync via IR

I had some trouble setting up ActiveSync over IR the first time I did it, and again a while ago after a hard reset of my iPAQ.

So, I turned to Google for help. As usual, Google was able to find me something useful. I followed the instructions closely and... VoilĂ ! ActiveSync starting syncing over IR!

TomeRaider

When reading Jenneth's blog the other day I was reminded that I wanted to check out TomeRaider. I installed the trial version to my iPAQ and the IMDB database to check out TomeRaider's features.

Imagine having the IMDB database in your pocket! The next time someone says "who was that actor, y'know, the one in that movie?" or "what other movies has so-and-so been in?" I will be able to whip out my hx4705 and look it up! Pretty cool, hey? And it's not just IMDB, there's heaps of other great stuff available for TomeRaider, including Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia! Imagine having Wikipedia in your pocket. Talk about impressive! I'm glad I bought memory cards for my hx4705!

Prolific cubers

Stefan posted some interesting statistics the other day on the speedcubing discussion forum about the most prolific posters. Turns out that I was number 5 for the year up to 26 March 2003, and number 5 overall. I didn't make the top 10 for the year up till 26 March 2005 so I must have been posting a lot in 2002 and 2003!
