A sneak-peek at the upcoming GPS Tuner Atlas

  By

GPS Tuner logo A new version of GPS Tuner 6 is going through the beta test process (the public beta of which ends Monday), and the Regular Build released in a few days after that. 

The new version of the program will be renamed GPS Tuner Atlas, so as to differentiate it from the previous version.  

The new version will be a free update to existing users of GPS Tuner 6, so those users have good reason to rejoice, because this program is soooo much better than the previous version.  

GPS Tuner Atlas should remedy most every bug that prevented users from making full use of the initial program, and also make it compatible with older devices that did not support the Direct 3DMobile API that the original program was written for.

My Last day as a Testing Technician…

  By

It’s my last day as a Testing Technician in the California Major Accounts Center at AT&T.   I’m taking a couple of days off (Thursday and Friday) so I can take a much-need break before I start my new job at AT&T on Monday the 21st.   On Monday, I’ll become an ENOC Technician, where I will begin a strenuous 6 week “deep dive” training session for all the Ethernet stuff my new job requires.   The good news is that the training is paid!  

I’m hoping to catch back up with blogging and twitting throughout the whole experience, but I have no idea if I’ll even remember to do any of this, as I’m told it’s a rather mind-blowing training experience.  Hopefully I’ll be able to keep my wits about me!

Wish me luck!

Accepted a job transfer to AT&T Switched Ethernet

  By

A new opportunity presented itself recently, in the form of a job transfer from California Major Accounts Center over to a new workgroup in the eNOC (Enterprise Network Operations Center) called IPAG (short for Internet Protocol AGgregation).  I decided to take it because I felt that I had mastered most of the technologies in use in CMAC.   And besides, I’ve been working with IP for about the last 20 years, so the match was obvious.   I will report for duty on September 21st, when I will begin an in-depth training session lasting approximately 5 to 6 weeks.

Exclusive Screenshots for GPS Tuner v6.0 leaked!

  By ,

Following up on the great video that Jack Cook provided earlier today, here are some detailed screen-shots of the new v6.0 of GPS Tuner. 

This GPS Land Navigation application looks totally slick with it’s sweet User Interface, which looks like it was totally redesigned since I saw it back in January of this year at CES2009.  I don’t know about you, but I’m drooling over getting a copy of this program for a future Product Review.

CES 2009 was somewhat disappointing…

  By ,

As my first Consumer Electronics Show, I was truly stoked that I could be laying my hands on some never before seen technology, cool gadgetry, and some truly innovative solutions.  

Unfortunately, there were no new truly innovative solutions presented, no new cool gadgetry, and the not one really new technology in sight.

Admittedly, I only got a chance to visit the Las Vegas Convention Center (proper), and not the Sands/Venetian Convention Center, but still.   Not much of anything that was truly awe-inspiring.  Very disappointing.

The number of visitors attending the show was down dramatically for this year, due almost certainly to the downturn in the economy.  Some exhibit booths were vacant, which to me indicated that quite a few companies went out-of-business between when they leased their booth and the actual show.   Very sad indeed.

Don’t get me wrong.  There was an awful lot of cool stuff, but not much was truly new.  The best stuff was available at CntrStg, a unique event for Bloggers that I participated in this year.

More on this in the coming days…
