From P800 to P910i

I got a new phone yesterday. For some time, I have been wanting to upgrade my Sony Ericsson P800 to something newer, and over the past week the switch worked itself out. First, I managed to sell off the P800 for a very reasonable price. Secondly, I found a very attractive offer on a Sony Ericsson P910i. My new handset is second hand - it is from January 31.- but has basically not been used. The P910i offer was especially attractive, since the phone came with a 512 Mb Memory Stick Pro Duo. I am used to satisficing with the 128 Mb Memory Stick Duo that I bought and used with the P800, so 512 Mb is quite an improvement.The card reader, which I have been using with Memory Stick Duo cards is not compatible with the new Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. I have therefore ordered a new card reader from mobiltec24.de (I had to get some display protectors as well…).

The P910i records video (MPEG-4 format) so without further adue, please meet Emil…

Netgear FM114P

I have a Netgear FM114P router/AP/print server/4-port switch that broke down last year. The router stopped working and started emitting a whining noise.Yesterday, I decided to open the router to see, if I could find out what was wrong with it. The strange humming sound turned out to originate from the CPU, which seems to indicate that the CPU has somehow burned out. I had a little surprise as I opened up the router cabinet since it turned out to contain a PCMCIA WLAN card. Apparently, this card is responsible for the router's WLAN connectivity.

The card is unlabeled and I cannot seem to identify it from neither FCC ID (O6M-WM300), P/N (9511-3300ISC5) or S/N (BF270311101117).
Looking around, I found several resources that indicate that the PCMCIA card may be a Siemens I-Gate 11M PC card or some sort of Linksys card.
Various links to getting it to work:

Using drivers from Samsung
Drivers from Siemens or Fujitsu-Semens
Archived discussion from Netstumbler Hardware forum

I am not a 100% on this (I have only tried in a laptop running XP with *service pack issues*), but the card seems to work, using the Linksys driver mentioned in the Netstumbler discussion.

***** UPDATE 08-08-2006*****

Using information from the Netstumbler discussion, I managed to identify the card. It's a Bromax OEM 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card (Prism 2.5).

Organization Science Special Issue on Information Technology and Organizational Form and Function:

Possible Topics
Given the relative paucity of research and theory, this special issue is directed at providing a forum for scholars to develop and test theories that open the black boxes of organizations and IT at the same time, providing an improved understanding of how each affects the other’s design and function. Papers that consider both the complexities of organizational systems and IT are particularly encouraged. Possible themes for papers include:

  1. How has IT affected the structuring of organizations and the processes within them, such as decision making, job design, communication, power and political behavior?
  2. How can we describe organizations in a way that makes clear the critical IT components?
  3. Do our current concepts related to individual and group behavior need to be modified to reflect the impact of IT? For example, do we need to include locational and temporal dimensions into models of group behavior?
  4. How has IT affected the creation, management, and performance of interorganizational relationships, such as alliances, outsourcing, supply chain management, and off-shoring?
  5. Does the design of information technologies, such as those using the semantic analysis of language, serve as new models for understanding how people can identify experts in loosely coupled organizations?
  6. Since the concept of an “alignment” between information systems and organizations is too vague to inform specific testable hypotheses, specific aspects of this alignment need to be examined. Is one needed to catalyze the other? Could one compensate for the lack in another? Which aspects of each really need to be aligned for successful organizational functioning?
  7. Given that distributed and situated cognition may now occur in highly computer-mediated ways, how does the design of information–organizational systems impede or facilitate heedful interrelating?

Abstracts to be submitted by May 1.
