I Don't Read Well

I have to confess, I love reading but I don't read well. I know how to read. I just don't do it well.

I remember going through school by borrowing notes from friends because words seemed to swam on the chalkboard. At first, I thougth it was my myopic eyes. Got new pair of glasses. Sat right smack in front of the chalkboard. But that didn't solve the problem. I still had to borrow notes from friends.

I got through school with as little reading as I could. I paid extra attention during class so that I don't have to read about it later. If friends could finish reading and comprehend the reading materials in an hour, I would take two hours.

What does this got to do with this blog? I read some of my previous entries. They are littered with lots of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Some words were also missing (my fingers weren't fast enough to capture my train of thoughts). I know those mistakes could easily spotted had I read my entries before posting it. Unfortunately, I don't read well.

So, my apologies.

Configuration for Tungsten T5

Since the previous post was about configuring my T5 to blog, I should add more about configuring it to use the Celcom 3G.

I requote my first entry of this blog:

Before setting the T5, make sure your phone have been configure:
1. Follow the steps in the website (http://www.celcom.com.my) to configure the telephone
2. Verify that the setting is correct, try to access the celcom wap portal using the Nokia 6233.

Here's how you configure the T5:

Step 1: Configure the phone connection in your palm
1. Go to Preferences > connection
2. Click "new"
3. Name: Nokia<-[any name you want]
Connect to: phone
Via: Bluetooth
Device: [search for your phone but make sure you switch on the phone bluetooth]
Model: Standard GSM
4. click "details..."
5. Speed: 115 200bps
Init string: +cgdcont=1,"IP","celcom3g"
Click "ok"
6. Click "ok" to safe the phone connection.
7. Click "done"

Step 2: Setting up & making network connection
1. Go to preferences > network
2. Click "new"
3. Service: Celcom3G <-[any name you want]
User name: g
Password: g
connection: Nokia<-[same name from step 1]
phone: *99***1#
4. Click "connect" to log on to the network. (By the way, don't forget to turn on the phone bluetooth )

Step 3: Browsing the internet
1. Launch your browser. I use the Blazer that was pre'installed' in the T5
2. Type the URL of the site you want to go.

Test conclusion

I thought mo:blog don't work with the new blogger thingy because of the incredibly long new user id. So I created a new one, but it didn't work either.

Then I thought new blogger no longer support this thing call API. No, it's not the Malay word for 'fire'. It's a computer programming term.

I searched for the fix. Even downloaded and re-install the mo:blog in my T5. Still it wouldn't work.

Just now I chanced upon a website for developers (can't remember the URL). Glancing through a bunch of programming codes, I saw the word 'uri'. Similar word is in the mo:blog settings. So I tried replacing the 'www' in the settings, with 'beta'. It worked!
