  • Equipment Overload

    My *government* day job just hung another piece of equipment on my belt. This one's a Motorola Timeport "personal interactive communicator" that integrates paging and email with an auto-generating ticketing system called "Heat". This addition, while providing interaction with the autogenerated tickets, also gives me the ability to easily send (and receive) email to any web address at an instant. And since I keep it 24x7 and have no current restrictions while beta-testing it, that's awesome.

    But my pants are getting heavy! The Timeport is on the left side, my own Sprint phone on the right, the company Nextel phone goes in my right pocket, and my old pager (to be replaced soon, hopefully, by the Timeport) is in my left pocket. Also in constant accompaniment in case and shoulder strap is my laptop with its wireless web access….And there you have it: a technologically wannabe Batman impersonator, or the loopy Mr. Gadget. Someday I'm going to get caught in a thundering downpour and get shorted out, *poof* , I know it, I know it.
