Chasing Daydreams

One of the most popular subtitling technologies is SRT. It is supported by many players soft and hard such as VLC, which I use for playback on the PC, and even by my budget Samsung HT-Z320 home theater. but alas, the PS3 doesn’t.

I’ve updated my top S60 applications from its previous incarnation. Walking Hotspot – Turns your phone into a wireless router and share your HSDPA signal (if you get one).  I found it easier to use than Joikuspot Opera Mobile – A niftier mobile browser than even Opera Mobile. It is standalone so it requires more [...]

One gripe I have with the Nokia E51′s built-in email client is that it doesn’t display HTML. Nor does the GMail mobile client. I’ve heard about the downloadable Nokia Messaging app which is already built-in to newer Nokia handsets but I’ve put off downloading it until now. To get it, you’ll need to go to [...]

New hardware, especially new phones, may come and go but the cloud (they should just have called it the matrix) is definitely here to stay. The way to go then is having your data in the cloud.

I needed to make backup copies of some CDs. They are bootable CDs so I couldn’t just copy the contents. Unfortunately, I don’t have those fancy disk burning utilities. Not would I want to use those complex monsters. So what I did is download ISO Recorder. ISO Recorder is a shell extension for Windows XP, [...]

Aside from the enhanced calculator, I’ve installed a few really cool apps on my Nokia E51 that some might find useful: Joikuspot Light – Turns your phone into a wireless router and share your HSDPA signal (if you get one).  It’s free but supports only browsing (HTTP and HTTPS). The full version version offers more [...]
