N95

Bataille D'eau, la revanche

warzabidul - Aug 0, 2008 just a quick test Wow! I would love to be in one of these and so would most people I know especially in an Australian summer. Unfortunately with water restrictions as they are it’s not going to happen …

Bataille D'eau, la revanche

Today I went to Lausanne for a flashmob waterfight and I enjoyed it. I also got a little wet as you can tell from the second or third video. It was great fun. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 I love it, whilst all the photographers were standing on the sidelines I was right in the middle of the crowd watching as everyone got splashed. I got soaked quite a few times but it’s really fun.

Why having a web server on the n95 is a lot of fun

Yestereday night when I should have been sleeping I downloaded a web server for the Nokia N95 8GB and so far it’s been a lot of fun (albeit a little slow). It has blogging, messaging, photo galleries and more and here’s a little run down of what the interesting features are. if you’re logged in then you see a number of features: Blogging: This feature allows you to write blog posts and post them.

Playing with a webserver on the Nokia n95

I currently have a web server running on the n95 but it’s only active when I have free wifi. It’s to see what capabilities there are and so far it’s good. It’s a little slow though.

Seesmic from the mountains (via QIK)

Whilst the connection is unstable and slow I decided to take the phone and Qik some landscapes from La Dole in Switzerland. Here are a few streams. As more people enjoy streaming live video from interesting locations so this will become a more common site. What I hope to do next is go to some of the higher peaks and stream from there too. Overtime we could have a nice collection of footage.

Seesmicing from anywhere

I like to seesmic but there’s no way I want to be stuck in one place without moving around. It’s more fun when you see people aren’t in a desk situation. Here are four places from which to seesmic and make things more interesting. Seesmic from here. The Lake Side Yet another nice view The Mountains Nice view And where to have lunch :-)

I took hundreds of pictures today so that I could play with photosynth.

Whilst it has been over two years since I last had a windows laptop today I took hundreds of pictures to play with Photosynth, a photo combining piece of software that runs on your machine before being uploaded to the web. The idea is a simple one. Take as many pictures as you can be bothered and have at least three pictures overlap the same detail. I tried this in three different locations.

Excitement for live streaming from mobile phones

Live video streaming from the mobile phone is normal for me. Yesterday for example I was streaming from the boat as the Croisière de l’espoir came back into port. Jose Castillo and Tim Siglin talk about highlights from Streaming Media East in New York, including AT&T’s re-emergence as a CDN, a jaw-dropping mobile video webcasting demo by Steve Garfield, and interviews with show attendees. mp3 source Interesting to listen to other people discuss this topic.

Blueapple.Mobi - Video to mobile devices

As Yael Naim’s live performance of Toxic plays from my phone so I’m playing with Blueapple.mobi which “brings internet video and pictures directly to mobile users”. It’s an interesting service that allows you to view videos from a number of sources. You can see some of the recommended videos which are already converted from sources such as CBS or you can search for others. When you find a video that is not converted yet the site will convert the video on the fly and within a very short amount of time you will be able to download it straight to the phone.
