I truly, honestly love technology. The human power of engineering – our ability to combine imagination, innovation and the skills to build things has brought us just about everything from the wheel to medicine and the Internet. In ye’ ol’ days we like to think that problems needing solving and lucky accidents (like the penicillin-story) [...]
With the adaption of EU Directive 2006/24/EC on retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks into Norwegian legislation, I again find myself wanting a way to communicate privately over the Internet. I am well aware of the fact that the [...]
I’ve been with Flickr for some years now, and as a community site it is pretty good. But since it can’t store my RAW format files and with limited options for presenting and restricting access to photos I am now trying out Smugmug. With it’s SmugVault service that allows me to store and back up [...]
Well, it seems the bug I wrote about in my previous post “A headset? No thank you!” has somehow corrected itself. Not that I know how or why, but suddenly my Nokia N8 will now play videos perfectly when connected to my Nokia BH-504 bluetooth stereo headset. My apologies for being so harsh, but I’d [...]
How and why a Nokia phone won’t play videos when connected to a Nokia bluetooth headset while an iPod can I do not know. I find it very, very strange. It works with the Nokia music player, it works with Spotify – both on the Nokia and on the iPod – and it works on the Macbook, it does not work with a video on the Nokia N8 handset.
After moving just about everything else from my iPod Touch to my N8 I’ve been looking for a secure password/credit card/login credential storage app like mSecure for iOS. I ignored Best Safe due to bad reviews, tried Mr. Safe and missed a synch/backup feature, and now I’ve tried MobileKnox. It might have the power to [...]
I have been looking for an app to securely hold some of my passwords, some credit card info, WLAN keys etc. ever since I moved to N8. I used to use mSecure on my iPod Touch, but after I got the N8 I rarely carry the iPod with me any more. After reading some bad [...]
I am truly happy. WordPress has finally reached the new Nokia N8. Ever since I tried out mobile blogging with my old Nokia N95 I’ve been looking for an app that actually has all the features required for real blogging. Unlimited text fields (who would have expected that to be an issue), post, page and [...]
This weekend I was lucky enough to get a brand new phone again: The hot, amazing Nokia N8. And after only two days use I simply love this phone. It just works! It does everything I want it too (well, so far anyway), and even though it takes some getting use to the on-screen full-size [...]
About a month ago I was contacted by WOMWorldNokia who wondered if I would like to try out the Nokia N900 for a few weeks. Apparently, someone over there took a liking to my posts on the N97 mini and my problems getting WordPress installed on the little devil and thought I might give the [...]
