The application will allow for configuring the Matchbox Desktop (which is the user interface for my PDA). Without this application, users of Matchbox (on a PDA anyway) must edit a series of configuration files in order to create folders and move programs from folder to folder. My program allows for adding/editing/deleting applications and folders. It's written in Python 2.4 using the GTK library for UI. Here's a screenshot of my alpha version:

It has brought me great pleasure, but I'm in need of a new toy. Anyone's input is appreciated. At the moment, my options are:

iPhone:
Pros: It looks nice and does lots of cool stuff (I assume). There will be a large software repository due to it's popularity.
Cons: It's Apple. I don't want a machine so tightly coupled with a corporation.

OpenMoko:
Pros: It runs a completely open source version of Linux, therefore it's hackable.
Cons: It's hackable and I'll break it.

HTC Shift:
Pros: Powerful enough to run Windows Vista (which I happen to like). It's small enough to tote.
Cons: It's a lot like what I already have, and I paid $400 for what I have.

It is day 1 and I've aleady picked up some interesting ideas. The focus is creating rich front-end web applications using tools such as Ajax and web services.

Also, I met Pete Rose yesterday!

Here is the updated page with screenshots.

To boot, I get to use this as training for my job. Details

We also explored downtown Newport, going to the "Ripley's Believe it or Not" museum and the wax museum. Here is a video of the beach, and here are some photos.

One is a 37" LCD television from Olevia. I got a great deal on it, and we are very happy with it. Unfortunately, we don't have HD service yet. Soon. The other toy is a mouse for my PDA. The mouse itself isn't that impressive, but it gives my PDA a laptop feel. I'm currently running Linux with ICEWM as the window manager. It is fully loaded with a variety of Linux aplications.

Check out the photos

I'm taking a small vacation to Seattle this weekend. We'll be seeing the Red Sox vs. Mariners on Sunday, and then we're going to Ikea on Monday. Before we take off to Seattle, we're going to see Bill Maher here in P-town.

I saw something disturbing yesterday: there are some crazy people that think the current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is a sign of the second coming of Christ, and they are happy about it.
