Taking the VIA train from Toronto to Smiths Falls gives me the chance to test out the iPhone tethering.

So far pretty good, only a few dead zones one big one near the Darlington power station and Edge only zone at the Port Hope VIA station.

Having internet on the VIA trains isn’t new, they have wifi, but it is nice not having to worry about it.

UPDATE: Huge Edge section from Port Hope to Cobourg, gah.

UPDATE 2: Edge from Cobourg to Belleville.

UPDATE 3: East of Belleville picked up 3G again, I think coverage is good if you can see the 401 from the train

This has been bugging me for a while, I use Firefox (3.0.11) on OS X and Windows XP and on both OSes Firefox messes up the favicons in my bookmarks.

(Aside: favicons are the images next to the url for some websites.)

Sometimes the favicons will change randomly. Example, I use delicious.com to manage my bookmarks and on Windows XP the bookmark for delicious seems to ‘pickup’ whatever link I clicked last from delicious.

Not a huge deal, but come on, this isn’t rocket surgery here.

LCBO gave us a scare with the strike threats, talk about a one day sales boost, wow.

So the plan for this weekend is to get a 1.0 OpenWiimote out the door. I have an action plan, just need to execute it. Easy right? Hah.
