Note that it'll take some days to set up my blog/dynamic content management system - my current webspace provider doesn't really support them. My new one at Pocket PC Magazine, however, will start soon!
Before I move/integrate this page to the Pocket PC Magazine blog/column, you can still access my stuff here. As opposed to my archived artciles up to 15/Sep/2005 (please check it if you haven't already done so!), I've switched to linking my new articles/posts in decreasing chronological order so that you can make generic search more easily.
