Jeroen's ongoing switch blog.

My experiences with a Powerbook 17" and 15" and comparisons with two IBM Thinkpads, a T40p and an A31.

Comparing 2 Powerbooks with 2 Thinkpads: "Powerbook vs. Thinkpad speed testing".

For the first week experiences: "First week of the switch".

Sunday: Slowing down...

30 May 2004


I'm currently slowing down on my switch blog. this is because the Powerbook 17" is mostly for my Girlfriend's use. I only get saturday and late nights on weekdays!

This will change soon. I am in the process of moving all my "stuff" from my Thinkpad T40p to my Thinkpad A31, software installation on Windows is so much fun! The A31 is my previous machine and will be enough to cover the gap between selling the T40p and receiving a Powerbook 15" 1.5GHz with the faster drive and the extra video memory. I can't wait!

I have also completed a rebuild of the site this week. Now the content is the parent of several <IFRAME> elements, instead of a <FRAMESET> being the parent of the content. Much cleaner this way. I did most of this work on the Thinkpad, and in the process found that VIsualC++.NET likes to insert a <DIV> element whenever I would like a <P> element. The next step is to make sure it's all standards compliant, I am assuming it isn't at this time.

Some more correspondence this week. This in reply to the monday entry regarding the Motorola A835 3G Bluetooth "enabled" mobile phone.

You can often get the computer to talk to the phone without pairing the devices (typing in the passcode on the phone and computer). While this will work, it will lead to the devices stopping to recognize each other by default. Maybe that is the problem?
I recommend you check out Clicker:

The problem described only happens with the Motorola phone, not my own Siemens S55.

I have not had a chance to checkout Clicker yet, I did download it though! The phone is not mine which means I have to wait until there is a moment the phone is not needed. Most likely I will try to connect the phone this week late at night...

I specifically convinced my Girlfriend to buy a Bluetooth enabled phone so it could be sync'ed with the Mac and could be used as a modem also. Oh well...
