Motorola Phone Tools 4

Tonight I bought Motorola Phone Tools 4 off of eBay. Here's the item.

I was thinking it would be good to post more photos to my Flickr site. My digital camera is a decent Sony one, but it's starting to flake out. So I figured I would use the camera on my RAZR to take pictures.

I'm not thrilled that Motorola doesn't offer software for free to do basic functions like copy a picture from a phone to a computer, but that's the way it is. At least the software was only around $10 on eBay. Interestingly enough, on a lot of web sites (like Motorola's) the software is around $40. It pays to shop around.

Chess again

This past summer I played in a regular rated chess tournament (a team event) for the first time in 8 years. Last time I took a long break (although not this long), it took me about 9 months to put my game back together. I'm about 5 months in this time and while my results aren't showing it yet, I can tell I'm starting to figure some things out. My confidence is definitely improving, but I don't have any swagger yet. Might take good results to bring that back. After such a long layoff, just remembering to make your moves properly, write down your moves, and hit your clock is a challenge.

A lot of white systems seem to feature a queenside fianchetto (b3), which didn't seem to make many appearances in the past. In my last tournament someone even did that in an open Sicilian. Also games are now played more often with an increment instead of a delay. Going from a...

Eclipse On My iMac

My new iMac has renewed my interest in doing a little programming in my free time. It's not hard to understand - a slick new computer with a 24" screen and UN IX underneath - what's not to love? I downloaded Eclipse and it seems to work very well. I thought I would try a little application programming in Java. I've dabbled with Java over the years and I figured it was time to re-visit it. I found a library called Chesspresso that is LPGL . I've got a little to show for it so far - although obviously I don't have it picking up piece images very well just yet and the pieces aren't moveable. I'm working on downloading the iPhone SDK so I can play with that. Meanwhile I'm listening to "The Stage Names" and "The Stand Ins" from Okkervil River .
