Today Is Study Day

Despite the fact that my boss won't be around for the entire day, I have to study. I can't afford to be lax. It'll reflect sooner or later on my knowledge-base. Sure, it'll be great to play Little Fighter 2 on LAN all day (http://www.littlefighter.com), but the deadline is coming soon (first week of October).

So today, I got to finish a 127-page geek material for ECS (Event Control System). It's part of a Java interface thingy for SAP R/3 created by Sky Technologies.

Also, I need to find a good JVM (Java Virtual Machine) for a Handheld PC. Esmertec (http://www.esmertec.com) and Handango (http://www.handango.com) are the first two sites that I've visited so far. Both the Intel StrongARM and XScale processors are supported by the JVM's I've found so far.

I'm done researching various Handheld PC's from HP, Symbol and Intermec. So far, HP's Handheld PC's don't come with barcode scanners (they're snap-on, yes, but the newer units don't support it anymore; the h3600 series supports it, but aren't posted on the new products list), Symbol is "minimalist" (essential features only), and Intermec is "maximist" (fully loaded).

For my break periods, I visited Sport Compact Car (http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com) to see their Eight Great Rides for less than $30,000 article. I also grabbed hold of articles regarding brakes and suspension.

So now, it's back to Adobe Reader with all the Desktop Post-it Notes on top (courtesy of http://www.3m.com). It's geek time!
