i’m currently sitting in a car on one of austria’s highways (A1 to be exact) (not driving myself) with a laptop on my lap (hence the name) and surfing the web with umts speed (using the card mentioned in my other entry).
it’s really, really cool! i’m loving it! 😉
i’m currently sitting somewhere in the middle of nowhere in lower austria with my powerbook and my spanking new vodafone umts/gprs data card! and it rocks…
i’m surfing the web with gprs speed (58kb/s) and yes it also works with umts speed (384kb/s) although not here (i was able to test the umts speed only shortly in our apartment in vienna!).
in any case: finally a killer app for me – connected anywhere anytime! cool!
if you are paranoid (or working for a large IT company) you might want to encrypt all your internet access.
this is now possible on all of our sites!
you can now access my site with a 128-bit security by entering: https://wibi.homeip.net/wp_en/
(or https://wibi.homeip.net/wp/ if you want to do it with the wibi.com site)
have fun!
as you can see i’m a bit slow (if not to say MIA – missing in action) with my blog entries!
that has one main reason: on may 2 i started a new job which is keeping me on my toes currently. i hope to be back with more and frequent entries soon.
ah, just in case you wondered: i have taken on the job of the managing director of raiffeisen informatik’s (raiffeisen’s IT company) holding for hi-tech- and tech-participations. i’m responsible for a portfolio of 15 technology companies and their business development! i won’t be able to blog a lot about my job but about the things the companies and the holding are doing in general…
so, stay tuned for more…
my good old friend, martin r., gave me a siemens sk65 to play around (yes, for free and yes, forever and yes, not sim-locked!). i’m currently charging it but of course already played with it and i must say: so far, so good! the keyboard flip-out is really cool and makes writing emails/sms etc. so much more easy. the “blackberry built-in” option is tempting…
unfortunately the phone is not mac-compatible which means transferring my contacts (and syncing in general) will be a pain in the a… if at all possible (isync would be so easy!)
oh well, i’ll write more when i tested it more… 😉
well, it’s done! (almost, there are some minor things i will change over the course of the next days, weeks and months but in general this is what it will look like now)
hope you like it!
drop me a line…
impressing: twenty questions. helge’s impressed and martina (thought of a small dog) and myself (thought of a desk lamp) too… 😉
i’m currently upgrading my site to wordpress 1.5. so far it was quite smooth and without hitches.
the next step is a re-design of the entire blog.
wait and see…
comments of course welcome!
for those of you reading my blog (i know, the last entry was ages ago), here is a list of things for my birthday or easter (well, i bit short notice…) 😉
1. geschichte des jazz
2. jazz: high spirits – five of the most influentual jazz albums of all time
3. wolves eat dogs – a thriller about today’s russia and ukraine and the nuclear zone of chernobyl – apparently excellent!
4. and: my amazon wishlist… (i know, i know, i will never be able to read all of this…)
to be amended…
tonight my site was the target of a serious comment spam. about 50 comments were left in almost all entrys.
this really sucks! it was easy to delete by going to the database and erasing it but it still costs a lot of time.
what a bunch of idiots who really think that this will make them any money…
