Nokia N80 acting up, back to 3650

My N80 was acting up, the screen went blank, some keys refused to work.
So I’ve sent the fellow to fix, and back to my old faithful Nokia 3650.
To my surprise, I think 3650 is still functional. It is slim, fast, responsive, and still running strong.
It has no 3G supports, but the GPRS 5k per seconds still able to get me going.

It runs Putty just fine. It works with the bluetooth keyboard that I’ve acquired for the N80. Although I couldn’t get the browser to work (same as before), but I wouldn’t be enjoying browsing the net in such a small screen anyway, so there isn’t any compelling reason for me to complain after all ;)

I was looking for a new 3G phone yesterday, thinking my 3650 may not be able to live up to my expectation. But obviously I was wrong. I am glad of that.

Camino 1.5 released, yeay

I’ve been using Camino browser before Apple offer their own Safari browser.
It is slick, fast and choke occasionally – but it has more steam than the Firefox on my aging PowerBook.

The one thing keeping me to use Firefox is the Flash blocker – an add-on that prevent Flash to be loaded automatically. So I have two browser running all the time, and when I was pissed by some overblown Flash websites or ads, I switched to Firefox.

Now, with Camino 1.5, the transformation is finally completed. I can FINALLY keep only one damn browser running all the time!

Taman Tun Botanic Garden 2007 revisit

They have gates around the lake, much safer for small kids, but less fun as the kids cannot feed the turtle and the carp anymore.

They changed the jogging tract from rubbery stadium type of carpet to cold hard cement. Good for cost saving in long term maintenance but make sure you don’t fell – the kids particularly.

In all, still a nice place to be.
