This goes into the category of "Officially Slick". Visit the Blackberry Forums and read this posting to learn how to configure your Blackberry as a GPRS modem. Then you can blog in places where there is no connectivity. I haven’t tried VoIP yet, but if it does work over this connection, then the unlimited data plan I have with Rogers suddenly became a whole lot more valuable.

Next week I’ll be speaking at VON Canada, alongside David Cork (Natural Convergence), Marc Gingras (Nimcat Networks), and Terry Welch (Centrepoint Technologies), about VoIP and small business. I had a chance to meet my fellow panelists yesterday. It will be a fascinating discussion, I am sure. Each has a different point of view on where the PBX should live.
In this morning’s Globe and Mail, Roy MacGregor asks "Why not a trial period for a Harper government" (sorry - no link - this is only available to Globe online subscribers, which I am not), and references the King/Byng affair. The theory is that after a non-confidence vote the GG might ask Harper to try to form a government, rather than go to the polls. Opinion polls today are showing widespread disgust with the Liberals, but no desire to have an election.
Opinion polls aside, it seems clear to me that it’s spring cleaning time on the hill. The Liberals may be able to govern again in the future, but for now what’s needed is to remove the Liberal influence from the workings of government. They can’t credibly investigate themselves. We need to replace the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, and then clear out the bureaucrats and the top mandarins who run the government.
So, why not a governing coalition with the mandate to clean house? Do we need to go to the polls to do that?
