I’ll admit it.
I thought Eric was kinda joking last week when he asked me via e-mail…
By the way, are you a Nascar fan? Ever thought of putting your logo on a car as a sponsor?
But I should have known better. When Ligman speaks, astounding things happen.
And I have to say…
I think the SBSC sponsorship of a NASCAR team’s a pretty cool idea. Best of all, Microsoft’s doing something serious to get the SBSC logo out in front of people. Non-IT people, that is.
Of course, you knew I’d have to take the liberty of ‘chopping in BWT’s arrowhead, just to see…
Oh yeah…that could work!

Sweet Mother of Moses!
This takes me right back to the early and mid-70s. First-grade, to be exact…
Better…Stronger…Faster!

it never ceases to amaze me…
now matter how much i plan & plan…
it is like someone’s put a freaking hoodoo curse on me when it comes to professional & peer networking events anywhere outside the glorious metroplex that is tuscaloosa/northport.
ones that cost money & require serious time away from the office are one thing…
but unable to get to one that’s freaking free, taking place on a weekend & within driving distance!?!?!
that’s right, kiddos…
i missed barcampbirmingham today.
the entire freaking day!
can ya tell i’m pissed as hell about it?
well, while i’ve been pissed…
i managed to churn out a custom windows mobile device theme just for barcampbirmingham.
and of course…
the start menu remains totally functional & the graphics line up!
dunno if it counts as a contribution or not…
but at least it’s something, right?

so yours truly has been monkeying around with mothership’s theme generator for windows mobile devices.
man, could this thing use an update or what? version 2.0 for pocket pc 2002?
regardless, here is the fruit of those labors…
the official funcave theme for windows mobile
if you’ve never added a custom theme to windows mobile, here’s a quick tutorial for installing the official funcave theme:
first, download the official funcave theme for windows mobile.
next, copy the official funcave theme for windows mobile file, funcave.tsk, to either the Windows or the My Documents folder on your windows mobile device. fyi: using file synchronization in activesync is a super-easy way to get the file to the latter location.
tap Start->Settings.
tap Today.
tap Funcave from the list.
check Use this picture as the background.
tap ok in the upper right-hand corner, then wait for the theme to apply.
tap x in the upper right-hand corner.
revel in your device’s amazing new aura of cool…
it’s always a good idea to check the readability/usability of your device’s start menu after applying a custom theme, since a ton of home-brewed themes make the start menu totally fracking useless.
of course, the official funcave theme keeps the start menu usable, and therefore totally kicks ass!
yours truly aims to release an extended theme sometime this week, primarily to better support the transition to landscape mode.
enjoy, kiddos…
