AximElated

PDA upgrade

Upgraded the bios of my axim last night to a later version. Had a fright when I tried to restore my data and got an error message “The selected backup file was created from a different type of mobile device” when really what it should have said is “upgrading your bios resets the regional settings. Please reset them back to what they were and retry the restore”.

Underground book

Finished reading the 2000+ pages of Underground on the pocketpc last weekend. It’s been a really interesting read about hacking and has kept me entertained whilst waiting for tape restores/backups to run, dinners to be served in hotels etc whilst i’ve been out on the road. Interestingly one of the hackers lived in Salford at the same time I was there as a student and he got busted for hacking.
