I know I can be a nerd...

But this photo is simply too much (click for bigger).

Wooooha!

Spent a part of my Sunday morning updating my iPhone to the software version 2.0 using devteam's Pwnage Tool. It takes a bit of patience but with your head in the right place it goes smoothly. New features are a few but the most anticipated by me was the AppStore. Now I can use quite a bit of third party programs with the official blessing of Apple (although Apple is not really pleased with Icelandic people using the phone). One really cool application is Remote which allows me to control either my Apple TV or the computer's iTunes to play music or video. Absolutely brilliant as the included remote is quite limited.

Pictobrowser
I stumbled upon a beautiful flickr photo browser generator called Pictobrowser. It allows you to grab any of your public photos on flickr, and display them within a simple, yet beautiful Flash container. I set up a simple one here on my website. It didn't quite fit the constraints of my blog so I had to make it on an empty site. Check it out, and try it for your own photos if you like it. It is fairly fast and might be better to display your photos to friends rather than through flickr's website.

Gadgets: new phone

I don't recall blogging about it but I gave up on my old phone not too long ago. It had stopped working well enough for me to tolerate it as sometimes when I was trying to call a friend it decided to call my grandmother instead. I was becoming afraid of it sending text messages with dubious content to people I did not want to receive such messages. Imagine my mother receiving a text message intended for some girlfriend in town :S So, it was time to part with it.
I was lucky enough to get the W880i Sony Ericsson as it is just an amazing gadget for someone like me. It has absolutely everything. I can take photos, I can blog, I can browse the web, I can watch TV on it, I can listen to music, I can save files, I can use my e-mail on it and most amazingly... I can make phone calls. Some of the photos from the phone have already appeared on the blog although I didn't mention it. But anyway, life pretty much got a whole lot better after I got this phone :)
