Koninginnedag

Now that is one of those days I think - *Sigh* I wish ....
Holland will celebrate her queens birthday, altho it aint the official birthday of this queen (Beatrix)... it was the one before that!.. anyway The Netherlands goes completely Orange and totally bezerk!

Even your most descent neighbour dresses up in orange and gets pissed !

Retevisie

Yes that's it, weblogs go give Free TV content!

In this case its a Docu about the discussion from an eccentric person called Harrie and his Atom Theory!
Im sorry its a dutch site, but this is form of internet will happen more and more and more... (tv)
Whats so rete-cool about internet TV, and weblogs.. well ppl can post their comments in the topic just after watching and next episode like what happends with the Retevisie docu, one of the broadcasts is an interaction with the TVshow and comments!

Now if this part of the world stops selling the bandwidth for such a high price, Australia could also have a share of this marked!

Now dont let it stick to your site, or log.. the content needs to be signed and could have a little grocery message, and shared via RSS with Bittorent... tadaa PodTVCasts :).. (as long as u dont use iTunes and an iPod tho)

Unemployed

As of today I'm unemployed! As of today after 1.5 year my work at Vital Peripheral Supplies is over, and I'm unemployed... All good things come to an end, and my first work experience in Australia has given me a fantastic start in this country. Sad thing is I wont see all the fantastic people at Vital that often anymore, but I'm sure I'll meet them soon enough for a beer or two.

But do not worry I'm totally not out of work! no no.. I've got atleast 4 interesting projects ahead of me and there is very exciting stuff going on I will post about asap.
Thank you Vital and goodluck!

Also gonna miss developing logo's for Vital haha.. above one was version 5 or so, and now I'm upto version 16 ;)
Will show later..

ANZAC

Today (tuesday 25-04-2006), we have another free day! :) As today it is ANZAC day and this is the day that the Australians remember and honor all "Diggers" (those who fought in the wars).

ANZAC day's date is set due to the war and heavy losses the Australians and New Zealand forces encountered in Gallipoli in 1915.

The Australian War Memorial

Quote:
Though the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives of capturing Constantinople and knocking Turkey out of the war, the Australian and New Zealand troops' actions during the campaign bequeathed an intangible but powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as an "Anzac legend" became an important part of the national identity of both nations. This shaped the ways they viewed both their past and their future.

w800i

I haven’t really posted how happy I am with my Sony Ericsson w800i, and now it is going to be replaced by Sony Ericsson due to a malfunction with the connector, I did miss my dear compadré in the mean time.

When I bought the phone, I immediately bought an extra 2 GB memory card. The 512 MB that default comes with the phone prolly is sufficient for many people, but I knew it aint going to be for me. (Ps through a good deal I've got another 2GB card here if ur interested! :)
The sound quality is awesome, and not surprising when Sony puts their Walkman logo on it! The equalizer brings even more sound improvements when needed. What I really like is that the default headphone cord with microphone for handsfree with the SE w800i phone connector doesnt have a silly SE branded headphone jack plug, no its a normal 3.5 jack!, that means u can use the handsfree cable with what ever headphone u like! The option to use the walkman without the phone roaming is also great, and gave me couple of good hours listening pleasure on my trip from Sydney to London with no problems, except a stupid British Airways flight hostess on the last bit from London to Amsterdam ordered me to shut the phone off completely, as I was interfering with the navigation systems.. haha even with the phone in flight mode.. yeah.. RIGHT, stupid cow! They had a little screw-up a couple of minutes before, and info got broadcasted over the complete aircraft radio that was meant for the cockpit only, they were looking for an escape cloggie, and found me.. pff!

I had a look at the w900i when I was in the Netherlands, whom is the 3G sequal with bigger screen, but that one felt and looked to plastic for me.

The 2megapixel camera is fantastic and already has been of gr8 use to me, and even more functional is the light beam (flashlight) function.. awesome feature when you’re in the dark and need to find something!
I almost would say, give the phone some swiss army knife functions and bye bye letterman! :)

Ive use the GPRS for WAP and went like a breeze, and also ive used the GPRS with a Java application and had to set two times to allow connection before it worked. One time the application and I recon once for Java to use the connection.

The software navigation for a old Nokia and Motorola user is very simple to get used to. Although I've never used the Disk2phone software that comes with the phone, as I'm just chuckin all my files direct on the memory card i'm pretty sure it gives u waaaaaayyy more freedom then that crappy iTunes with iPod crap.
I havent used the outlook sync and the PC suite software yet, but I will soon.. so dont know much about that.
The bluetooth sharing files went also without any problems. And Ive BlueJackQ’d some ppl here.. (gosh here in Oz many leave their wireless internet open, but also masses leave their phones on with bluetooth.. lol.)

Ok ok.. as i said it hasnt been all smooth sailing, I wanted to hook my phone up with the MMR-60, SE's FM-transmitter, so I could listen to my fav music or podcasts without headphone in the car wireless through the car stereo. Ive finally found an wholesale point (luckily i work for a IT reseller), and got the transmitter the next day but didnt work. Ive bought another FM transmitter and brought the first one to SE's service point here around the corner. The second one didnt work also, so that triggered the thought it must be the phone... I upgraded the firmware and the phone software, but no luck.
SE's service point tried to put in new connectors, also no luck.. the FM transmitters work on other phone's so I'm getting a new w800i in a couple of days.

My little help points:
- Don’t lower the quality of your MP3's to fit on the card.. EVER! whip out the money and buy bigger if u need to!
- When the album isn’t reachable direct but u can see the folder, and you get the "not used the correct software bla bla" message. Make a playlist of the song, that uses the file manager and then it works!
- If your albums or some of them don’t show up on the memorycard, you disconnected the phone or card to quickly form the PC! Or need to do the save removal hardware via your systray icons!

Hopefully gets fixed:
- The walkman software so far cant play a complete music mix in separate trax without the pause between the songs. I'm sure this is a software issue and if I have the correct opportunity I will report this.
- There are pictures out there that show the MMR-60 FM transmitter with an SE connector also on the bottom so u can still charge or use the connection to the phone while broadcasting... sadly this isn’t on the real version, and i've checked this is not just an Pacific/Asia issue.

The biggest +’s for me.
- The phone carries big functionality and is still rather small.
- Swappable Media, so unlimited storage if u really want..
- Very good sound quality.
- The option to default use whatever headphone you want and still being able to use the handsfree mic cord!
- Flashlight :) hooyah..

The biggest -’s for me.
- The camera slide is to easily openend, and sometimes opens when putting the phone in ur pocket making the lens uncovered... nice picture hey :)

Thailand Prt2

Here is prt 2 of the holiday pics, guess tomorrow is always.. lol, and thanks for your reactions on the others (by mail), much appreciated.
Ready steady.. go.. In Phuket we did one of the Phuket Adventure Tours by boat to a couple of the many sights to see, one of the least interesting a Dutch Bloke +10 kg (still not smoking tho.. november 2005).

One of the many islands around.

Most of the islands in those waters harbour limestone caves, some big enough to go through by boat.

Reconize this ? Well its still there.. the island used in 2 James Bond films, i believe one was "The man with the golden gun", and it got blown up (obviously) at the end.

Nice reef in Phuket waters, and hope you can see it but im getting attacked by a couple of 100 Tourist fish, you know those fish that know boats come to throw bread every day.

Other side of our room view, big boat in Batong Bay!

End of Phuket, this is Bankok.. Our Hotel, the tallest hotel in Thailand, The Baiyoke Sky Hotel.

Our hotelroom was on the 59th from the total 88 floors.. breathtaking view and we got an upgrade to a nice suite also at arrival :) - ps we booked on the airport from Phuket just before going over, and got again a good deal!

The swimmingpool was on the 20th floor.

Against the massive warehouses the daily noisy small but very friendly and easygoing street market.

Whoa.. the infamous Tuk Tuk!

Having beer and snapping this shot in one of the highest bars I've been in.. on the 87th floor of our hotel.

And so far Prt 2.

BCS! prt2

Whoa.. thats funny! I was listening to a PodCast from FBi radio here in Sydney, and one of the topics was fonts..
Also according to this PodCast (20.1 MB) Comic Sans is sooooo not kewl, and more interesting the font of 2006 is Trebuchet hahaha.. mehn thats funny!

Ps. FBi radio on the 94.5 here in the air is a alternative radio station that plays the songs from in and around Sydney bands and culture but also songs from around the world that you wont normally hear unless there is big money behind it or various other stupid reasons. FBi is kewl and publicly funded, so no stupid washing powder commercials or bullock interuptions like that. They are realising the Stream Dream as we speak so in not so long time you can pick them up on the web also as fulltime stream!
