Opera's Small-Screen Rendering(tm)
The Opera web browser for Smartphones and PDA's is really amazing. Just about any page I have pulled up on it looks good and is readable. Much more useful than the default browser that came with my Nokia 3650.
The Windows version of the Opera browser has a very nice feature that will preview any web page as it would show up on the Opera handheld browser. For example, the image to the right is how this site looks on my Nokia 3650.

NPR : NASA Poised to Land Rover on Mars
Late Saturday night Eastern time, a spacecraft called Spirit is due to complete its 300-million-mile journey by landing at a site that scientists think was once a crater lake. They hope to find evidence that water once flowed on Mars, because where there was water there may have been life.
Domain Migration...
in Random
I moved my domain to TeacherHosting.com and it looks like things went well. Now I have this site and the Lewis Elementary site all running on Moveable Type 2.65 running MySQL. The process was pretty painless thanks to help of Paul Bradley. Now that I have all my sites running under one installation of MT, I can use plug-ins such as MT-OtherBlog to pull content from one site into the tim.lauer.name site. For example on this page, I have the last two entries from the Lewis Elementary site. Also the Photoblog is pulling images from http://tim.lauer.name/photolog.

MSNBC - A year of spam, spyware and worms
A year of spam, spyware and worms Dark side of Internet boiled over in 2003.
If my inbox is any indication, it looks like 2004 is getting off to a good start... Woke up to 6 virus/worm infested emails in my inbox. Looks like it is similar to the Sobig. Most of them came from Intel related addresses, so figure someone I know from my work there last year has a problem.
