I made pretzels.
What can you say about making pretzels other than saying I did so. As you can see the pretzel roll turned out looking more like dog poop.

SWOT Analysis…round 1
So I’m posting new software for Windows Mobile that will be helpful for people developing strategic plans to solve issues using the SWOT analysis method. It’s in a very basic form right now, enter your goal, fill out your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats; then export it as a text file on your device. It does require .NET CF 3.5 to run.
I’ve found it useful and I’m certain other people out there will as well.

I took the trip up to Austin with Abigail and got 4 minutes at Cap City Comedy Club. It was fun, until I felt out of sync with the audience right before I got up. My wife pushed me into doing well, and I did mostly okay. Looks like a big hurdle for me to jump will be maintaining a focus on the material and understanding how to turn a crowd around.
Enjoy the photos from the event.

Comedy at Prestige?
I put a question mark since I’m still trying to find out if that is true.

AT&T Tilt working with T-Mobile
I’ve switched, goodbye from the Shadow hello to the Tilt.
I’m incredibly satisfied and plan to use it happily until the Shadow 2 is released then I will re-evaluate my phone choice. So until further notice I won’t be updating any software I’ve written for the Shadow, but I will be zipping it all up and uploading it as well.
Best of luck Shadow users; until T-Mobile fixes the Shadow I’m outta here:
- Better battery
- Better scroll wheel integration
- Faster processor
- Fewer lock ups
- Don’t not Font
- Fewer phone issues (multiple returns for defective units)
- More user control over phone (keypad LED & home screen contents)
May not seem like much but it’s enough for me to look elsewhere for the time being.
Thanks for everything.

Windows Mobile 6.1 on the Shadow
Posted by Jon Westfall “Windows Mobile 6.1 was just announced at CTIA yesterday. A bunch of us got together to record a video demoing most of the new features in Windows Mobile 6.1. Check out this 40-minute video that shows: Here is 41 minutes of Windows Mobile 6.1 Glory. Personally I’m eyeing the Pantech Duo as my next device, and it does look sweet with it’s dual sliders. Which 6.1 device or feature are you looking for?

Video Poker for the Shadow.
Here’s my first go round with Video Poker for the Shadow. You use the top 5 keys to select which cards to hold/draw. No points are scored since this game is to practice your skills so you can win big at the casino.

Video Poker for the Shadow
My wife and I are heading out for a vacation that will bring us in contact with some Video Poker machines. As it turns out it’s expensive to buy Video Poker software for Windows Mobile. So what does an individual do with 4 hours of free time? Write a program themselves.
I’m going to post it later on this week when I have a few minutes to finish adding in the strategy part but for now it is fully functional but is lacking all the different strategies for playing Jacks or Better video poker. I hope to complete the Jacks or Better strategy and add in the ability to train playing Double Bonus poker as well.
Enjoy the screenshots and look for an update very soon.

Match Game for the Shadow
I wrote a quick game for the Shadow that you will be able to download. The game is a matching game, you get a brief glimpse of the screen and must match tiles to complete the board. The game will get progressively harder as more tiles are added and tiles remain face down once they have been matched. Enjoy the game and play to your hearts content.
The game is played using the 20-key pad the T-Mobile Shadow uses for text input. You press the key that corresponds to the location of the tile displayed. You select one tile, attempt to match it to another – if they do match you continue on immediately, if they do not match then you wait a second for the tiles to flip over and try again. It’s a game you’ve played before and probably grew up on – Memory.
Consider it a very early release but a release none the less.

Looks like Microsoft is reducing options and increasing capabilities as Danger has formally agreed to be purchased by Microsoft. What larks for me, since I’ve recently fallen in love with Windows Mobile and have always had a long standing relationship with Danger’s Hiptop. I’m excited to see where this goes since the Hiptop and Windows Mobile devices give consumers similar experiences but from two completely different directions. The Hiptop is serviced by a closed platform and makes it’s money from its network service where Microsoft generates revenue from licensing its operating system. It’s a nice dream to think of the Neo interface in play on a Danger device – since they are both similar in styling both utilizing a direction-pad and a scroll wheel.
One can dream…

The Windows Mobile Hiptop?
Sony is releasing a new cell phone that looks like a beautiful combination of Hiptop and Windows Mobile. The phone has a sliding keyboard and an angled screen with a high resolution touchscreen. The Sony Xperia X1 will be available sometime mid 2008. It looks like the Sony Mylo was just the opening salvo in Sony’s attempt at world domination.
From Sony’s press release:

The New Shadow Update!
Yes, you too can now update your T-Mobile Shadow with system improvements, various media, and ring tones. I’m looking for all the differences between the old and new system and am pleased with what I’ve seen so far. A few updates to the Connection menu, the ability to edit your personal dictionary from the * menu, Live Search integrated into the Neo interface, Manage Memory now titled more appropriately Improve Performance, and Audio Postcards added to the Neo interface as a form of messaging.
The update seems to focus on upgrades for people who are non-traditional Windows Mobile users. The T-Mobile Shadow is not marketed to power users and it seems the update is geared to ease the use of the number of overwhelming options in Windows Mobile.

With no time to spare …
I haven’t been able to program a single thing lately, with work changing up tremendously lately I’ll have even less time than before. With the reduction in time I’m going to release my few programs over the next few days and update them later on when things quiet down. Enjoy the first one available only for play on the T-Mobile Shadow under the name “Patterns”.
Download the ZIP file and extract to your computer, then install to your device. The program will appear under the Start Menu. Let me know what you think, it is unfinished and needs some polish but it is playable and it is free.
Of course if you enjoy it I would appreciate single dollar donations to my PayPal address at dumbstart@gmail.com. So you’re free to play and donate a dollar if you enjoy it and feel good knowing that YOU are encouraging updates and more programs down the line, for a just a dollar it’s an amazing deal.

Enable panoramic camera and …
a list view on the start menu. Simple as can be, install the program and select which options you want to enable. Once you have selected your options choose Restart Phone from the menu to show the changes. Simple enough isn’t it? If anyone has any other registry hacks contact me and I’ll add them in to make it even more simple to make changes to your Shadow.
