A place to seesmic from

It’s two days later and I’m close to touch typing on the asus eee and I’m enjoying the machine just as much. I did try to upgrade to openoffice 2.3.1 from 2.0 and no luck so far. As a result I’m stuck with relying on the cloud instead. One friend found the machine hard to type on. That’s because with this type of keyboard your fingers are bigger than the keys.

Today i went to buy myself a eee pc during my lunch break and by the time I was heading for home the machine was recharged and ready to be played with. So far my biggest challenge is the tiny keyboard. Hard to touch type on it. Keep having to be careful to press each key properly. Other than that it took only a few minues per change I wanted to apply and the forums have quite a bi of information.

Twitter are stopping all SMS for many territories due to cost. They don’t need to send sms. If they had an s60 application similar to that by Jaiku they would incur no extra costs. We would simply take advantage of our dataplans to download the messages at any time that the application is running. Worldwide we are going to find that there are a lot of dissapointed users. At the same time the centralised conversation that twitter managed to encourage will spread across a number of platforms.

mousewords - Aug 5, 2008 Wow! And to think I got excited when mine reached twenty! :-D

Tonight is the night I will remember as the one where people viewed my youtube stream more than 20,000 times, 8000 of which in the last month. What I like is the sudden increase as qik finally allowed us to save and treat our videos differently. :-)

Last night I started using newsgator on the ipod touch and today I’ve come to the conclusion that I really enjoy this app. The reason for this is mobility. With the ipod touch I synchronise the feeds before I leave the computer and at my leisure I can read all the feeds and clip those that I think are relevant for later reading or to be shared. It’s also a nice way of feedreading because it’s small and practical.

According to the report, the majority of users – 73% in the United States and 57% in Europe – accessed mobile maps via the handset’s browser. Less than a third of customers in these markets used a downloaded application. Source In a town like Lausanne it would make sense to use google maps paired with the phone’s gps because there’s municipal wifi you don’t need to agree to for use.
