I'm going to call it ipaditist...

I bought the last two robert jordan books and have been enjoying them on my ipad, reading on the bus kills time more cost effectively than watching a movie when you get right down to it, but I noticed that my shoulder was hurting...

I finally put two and two together and confirmed it today while watching a video, if I sit holding my ipad in my hand while watching or reading, I end up with a very sore shoulder within 30 minutes that can last for days... Wonder if anyone else has this ailment, kindle, ipad, whatever..

The other blog is finally live!

I know I know, but I couldn't resist actually doing some work in the new place now that we have it... so the blog kinda fell by the wayside. We took before and after pictures, but no video as of yet. The video of me getting hit in the face with a sheet of drywall probably would have got a lot of laughs, but oh well...

Check it out here:

iPad: Did you know...

So I have been fighting, FIGHTING with my collegues at work to try and use my iPad as the productivity tool it should be.

First, they kicked me off the mobile sync server. This after a high level executive, who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty, gave me the information on how to find the server. So no more can I have my outlook calendar and emails on the iPad, arguably a serious benefit. Fine...

Second, they found my illegal (I didn't know it at the time, though to be honest I suspected it highly) wireless router in my office and remotely killed my network port, that was an interesting hour...

Third, They decided they would strip machines of logmein, so that I can no longer remote control my desktop from my bed and work on the weekends...

Forth, they found my wifi sharing function and somehow stopped that, it just doesn't want to work anymore, not sure why or how...

So I've almost given up using the iPad at work, except for taska and evernote, its really not all that useful anymore. I can't get documents onto it, or off of it, and since we don't have public WIFI except in starbucks downstairs, its really just a cool decoration on my desk...

Until I figure out another trick to get content onto it. If you load itunes on your workstation (which thus far has not been blocked, but clearly someone is reading my blog and will probably figure out how to block it) you can actually sync documents to the ipad without syncing the ipad its self. Huh? You say. Right well I have music, movies, apps etc etc on this thing that I don't have (or frankly want) on my work machine. So I don't actually want to sync the apps, I just want to be able to add a document to it. Now with this method I can easily just add a PDF to iAnnotate and go to my meeting.

Still a FAR cry from just opening up your email and clicking on the file you already had, but also a far cry from forwarding it to myself, or using google docs, then running downstairs to SB or piggy backing on our neighbors Wifi to get the information I need. If you don't want me to be productive at work, just tell me, I can play solitaire with the best of them....

Note, I actually can't, bores me to tears...

We finally got the deed to our house

OMG, so relieved to actually have this little piece of paper that says the house that i have been fighting to get for the last 6 months, is actually mine. I haven't been this happy to see a single piece of paper since my first paycheck from Phoenix International...

Now, the hard part starts. I have already had a glimpse of how much fun this will be with trying to get permits and play the he said she said game with my contractor about who should get the permits...:) Will actually publish the blog tomorrow (its over here at She Made me do it), while I have been writting my soul out on the blog, we didn't want to publish anything without it being official. Now I have to go back in time and get some of our initial images up and make the blog look halfway decent before I release the articles.

The new blog is going to be MUCH more interactive than my iPad one, with video, photo's and some give aways so get ready to enjoy...:)
