{mosimage}The LifeDrive is back ... My brand new replacement arrived today from Handhelds Online.



Ever since getting my Palm LD, it's had battery issues where it would
only hold 80% of it's charge.



Here's hoping this new unit doesn't have
the same issue.

Update 26/9: Also, you'll find there's 2005-09-23 Update for the iPod, which will enable iPods to work properly with iTunes 5. Finally! The nightmare is over, as ever since I installed iTunes 5 on my iMac, my Shuffle could no longer sync/receive songs. I can now report, that the update works and I was good to go for today :D.

{mosimage}Today, Samford Skirmish hosted the Samford 3man 2005, with 16 teams (6 Pro and 10 Div 1), on one of the best paintball fields in Australia.



Congrats to 3 Skins, who took out the Pro division and 3 Minute Men for taking out Div 1. Paint Savvy rocked it's way into the finals, holding out the final "best of 3" to 4 games (with a draw). In the end, we took out 2nd place in the Div 1 finals.



We played some great games. We formulated our game plan and we stuck to it. The reffing was excellent and we thank them and the staff for all their hard work. Overall, it was a great day of paintball had by all.

{mosimage}Paul Thurrott writes "Two days before the start of Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2005, I've received exclusive insider information about the product editions, or SKUs, which Microsoft intends to create for Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn). While the exact breakdown of the Windows Vista editions has been the subject of much speculation, this list closely matches the editions list I first published on the SuperSite for Windows last year. Here's how the Windows Vista product editions break down."



+ Windows Vista Starter Edition

+ Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

+ Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

+ Windows Vista Professional Edition

+ Windows Vista Small Business Edition

+ Windows Vista Enterprise Edition

+ Windows Vista Ultimate Edition



Interesting, that Microsoft went away from having so many editions quite a few years ago, and is now doing a backflip and going *overboard*. Can you imagine the confusion with IT Professionals and users ? "So, what version of Windows do you have ?" "I don't know, it's Windows Vista something".
