Well, I have had my first Android device for a few weeks now, a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1, and since then, I have only turned on my Nokia phones to retrieve some stored data, LOL. I am not Google, I am a person who uses mobile access for just about everything possible and available, and I think Android is amazing on the Galaxy S. I plan to buy the Galaxy Tab as soon as I can, which I heard was October 22nd from Samsung yesterday, at a price of around $760 USD, around the same price I paid for the Galaxy S.

The main problem I have at the moment is that I have "retired" all my XP machines and am still using OSX PPC on the desktop, so I don't have the right desktop platform to learn to develop some Android apps.

Funny, when I am on the subway, there are always people with many phones, generally over 1/2 are doing email or chatting on their mobiles. I have noticed that the iPhone users are quiet envious of my Galaxy S. The display is both bigger and brighter than iPhone.

That is cool, but more cool is that it is running a version of Linux called Android.

NAME
airport2-ipinspector - WAN monitoring utility for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow") SYNOPSIS
airport2-ipinspector DESCRIPTION
airport2-ipinspector monitors the WAN interface of the base station and sends an email notification whenever the external (WAN) IP address of the base station changes. OPTIONS
airport2-ipinspector accepts no command-line options. airport2-ipinspector is a wrapper script around the IPInspector.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils. You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ- ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEBUG Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. JAVACMD The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)). JAVA_HOME The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed. JAVA_BINDIR The full path to the directory where the java executable is located. JAVA_ARGS Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine. AUTHOR
