"Personal" Digital Assistant

Since monday my Zire 72 has been lost. At first I thought I just misplaced it and figured it would be in one of my routine spots. As the days passed and the list of routine spots diminished I began to worry. I kept so much information on it that the feeling of somebody else grabbing a hold of it was starting to disturb me.

Come to find out it ended up being in my clothes hamper. Not sure how that happened but I am happy to have found it.

Now I'm thinking about the data on it and how personal it is to me. I already do daily backups (syncs with my PC) but the idea of somebody finding my data is not a comfortable one. I could setup a password but not sure if I want to go back and forth with it everytime I use it.

Of course the simple solution would be "DON'T STORE PERSONAL DATA ON THE PDA"...

Any thoughts?

An Old Friend

With the new job I'm getting to know an old friend:

<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<!-- Data goes here -->
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and it says: "... have your way with me!"
