Yesterday in a meeting I did something fun and pointless (which made it more fun!). Using my now mostly trusty hp iPaq 4150, I connected a terminal services session using the Pocket PC RDP client to my laptop over wifi. Then, I ran conf.exe and joined my boss’s Netmeeting conference–now in progress. He looks over at me funny but says nothing. A few minutes later he is sharing his Powerpoint presentation to everyone at 1024 x 768 rez. Then I show off to everyone his presentation on my little 320×240 screen. It was kinda funny. I can see about two words before I have to scroll. Quite useless! But it got a laugh out of everyone, which I guess was the point.

During the meeting I put the iPaq down and it powered off after a couple of minutes of inactivity. I tried to reconnect to my laptop but it failed. When I got back to my desk after the meeting I found that my laptop was totally hung. Had to reset the bastard. It’s ok, it was worth it.
