Blogging at 120kmh

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
5.5 hour train journeys really aren’t so bad when you’ve got some gadgets to play with.

Apart from the poor quality (stylus-in-hole) stand, the Everun is proving to be a good companion so far. I must admit though, i’m spending more time messing around with my N82 mapping software than anything else at the moment!

Google maps works well with the GPS so a least ill be able to find a nice restaurant when we get to our weekend holiday destination.

More Scribefire testing with the Everun

Using a USB SD card reader and the Windows XP image resizer from Microsoft i’m doing another image upload test.

In some respects its easier than LiveWriter.

When a 7th birthday and Karneal clash in Germany, anything can happen!

Of course, I managed to find 5 minutes to test the Everun and ScribeFire out in between glases of Sekt.

Germans are partying.

I had intended to do about an hours cycling but I had’nt gone more than a few km before I saw this.

Carnival season is here.

Im not a big fan myself but it’s at least good photo op!

I would have posted these on he spot with the Everun but my HSDPA modem wasn’t working. I haven’t use it since I sent the Everun on a review tour so I guess it was suffering from that. A driver re-install did the trick.

Images taken with a Canon S2, downloaded onto a Raon Digital Everun. Cropped and resized using Windows Live Gallery. Post created using ScribeFire, which i’m really impressed with.

Pre Moblogging check.

A quick test post with scribefire.

Check! Seems to work nicely on the Everun. Im going to replace the cam with a Nokia N82 for moblogging I think.

Until later..

Unboxing the Amtek U560 UMPC. This is an Intel A110-based device with GMA950 grpahics. One of the best performing UMPCs i’ve tested and a good size. Its not pocketable though which will put a lot of people off but if you want the ultimate media player and can’t afford the Sony UX, this is the one to buy!
