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) [...]
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 [...]
A while ago I wrote a bunch of posts on how happy I was with my new Nokia N97 mini. Granted, I had some trouble getting WordPress installed, but that was a software problem. Not a phone problem. Well, now I’m not so happy any more. For the past week or so the phone has [...]
I have had this website for some years now, and as far as I can remember it has resided at the same host since it’s birth. It is a provider with servers in Norway and the provide me with just about all the services I need. Storage, data transfer, ftp uploads, email, subdomains, URL forwarding, PHP and CGI, and shell access. I believe I can even get a dedicated IP and set up SSL if I am so inclined. The only problem is that everything is limited. I am capped at 500 mb of storage and I have only two MySQL databases to play around with. This means that I’m hosting almost all the services I am running on the same database, and I am now running with approximately 20% free space. In short: Not good!

Not a single provider has stepped up to Google’s or Twitter’s plate and presented itself to me as the shiny, golden solution to all my online desires. And so I ask you this: Is there a webhotel out there for me or am I forced to chose between expensive and far away?
