I’ve been playing and futzing around with Drupal 6 and for my purposes its not ready for my primetime. It seems to have a few issues with its blogapi support so using clients like Scribefire or Blogjet can be difficult. I’m gonna stick with Wordpress for awhile now since it provides a reasonable template for the meaningless drivel that I write. There are lots of themes also and this one seems pretty decent.
I just purchased a Sierra aircard 595 to take the place of the rapidly diminishing Tmobile Hotspot service. The card requires a Windows laptop to activate but my card was activated already by Sprint. It did have to reset the user and settings and I don’t think it could do that on Linux. But once I got those things done, I rebooted my laptop into pure ubuntu and used a few scripts I found here and I was off and running. Its a great card and it works with Linux flawlessly. I also got my Sprint Evdo working on my Centro using a little shareware package called USB modem.
If you are wanting easy mobile broadband, Sprint offers two plans. I took the “all you can eat” plan because it fits things easier for me and it replaces more totally what i had before.
Both of the great sites above offer scripts and howto’s to get either the aircard or your phone online. Ubuntu makes it pretty easy these days to get the card or phone working.
