Why you need the T-Mobile Connection Manager
by Ryan Carter Feb 3rd 2007 at 4:00PM
Not very happy with the quality of service at the moment, I downloaded the lightweight T-Mobile Connection Manager client. These proprietary clients are a dime a dozen, heck every wi-fi card maker has their own. This one isn't anything special except it did actually make my connection stay on and not drop me after I installed it. The client also manages any access point you might have nearby, including EDGE/GPRS and VPN networks. Why it works better, I don't know exactly, but it does. If you use the T-Mobile service in Starbucks or elsewhere, I recommend it. Less frustration equals happy bloggers. We don't want no mad and road-raging bloggers. That would be messy.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Or you can simply get Vista and enjoy the new improved Network and Sharing Center together with Network Locations - for every network you connect on - so you can set Public, Private, Work, etc. Network Locations which automatically set your security and sharing settings as well ... Beats T-Mobile's little thingie - which I loved on XP though ;)
Find out more on my blog ...
