Pronounced Dead

Here, now, 48 short months after the last signs of life, I, John R. Perfect, pronounce this blog dead.

It lived a good and full life It was never very useful (or good), and you can now find slightly more useful content from me elsewhere.

I’m trying a new writing project here: AppendOverwrite.com

I’m posting some doodles here: BeardedOnion.com

I occasionally tweet here: @johnrperfect

I can always be found here: JohnPerfect.com

The PSDigital brand (such as it is) is also being demoted to a more utility level function in my nearly non-existent online existence.

Experiment: Can Gadgets Take the Place of a Real Computer?

I’ve started an involuntary experiment. I’m going to see this week how well an iPhone, an iPad, and a Droid Incredible replace a Core i5 ThinkPad.

The fan on my T410 went kaput (my sympathies to those who bought t410s last spring, it seems they had a bad batch of fans) on Saturday, so by the time I get my computer back I should have a good idea of how useful these gadgets are, or, rather how limited they are.

I can type fairly fast on my iPad, but not as fast as on my ThinkPad… I so far have put off doing any HTML coding and I’ll probably give in and do it on my desktop at work rather than attempt it on this.

Anyway, I’ll post later to let you know how it went.
