It’s not everything that I want but it’s got a nice camera and apparently the reception is decent.

Shame there’s no flash on the bloody thing. Or even better some Palm software…or some bluetooth capabilities?

Today is busy as it’s my first day back in the office after 4 days at class. It was a good class on Advanced Sun LDAP administration. Great guy Kevin from Chalk IT in Canada taught it. Nice guy, but don’t ask him about his speeding ticket. Fellow won’t shut up.

Anyhow, I’m off to get coffee in order to gird myself for the upcoming meeting at 9. Then I get my last year’s review at 1. How fun.
