I recently discovered Wordpress as an easy to use content manage system. I designed a website for a friend in Germany, www.inopleiding.de. He is now able to create pages, news posts, and all of that in an easy way and a search engine friendly way. Also the enormous load of plugins is quite handy!
Today I organised my weblog and social websites a little bit. I use Hyves (a dutch social networking site), Facebook and Flickr. This evening I combined those websites by using RSS imports on the social networking sites. The way I post a blog now:
This way I only have to update one website, and let RSS do the rest! How do you update your websites?
I’m a drummer. That’s why I posted this video of one of the greatest bands ever:

As you might know, I have a new Nokia e71 phone. Great phone by the way! But on the phone there is an application called Barcode Scanner. I didn’t know what to do with it. I tried to scan barcodes, but nothing happened.
Today I was surfing on the internet, and read something about QR codes. They told Nokia phones are compatible with those codes, and can read them. So I was really excited, and opened the application, scanned the picture, and guess what: it worked! I think this is a great way for supermarkets to provide more information about products, or other shops to provide reviews and stuff like that!
If you want to know how to create a code yourself, grab your Nokia, and scan this picture!
I’m a gadgetfreak. Almost every half year I buy a new phone. Not because I have to, but because I want to. A chronological list of the phones I’ve had:
And now I’ve ordered a Nokia E71. In the list above there was always something wrong with each device: unstable, too big, no 3G, slow, bad calendar etcetera. My favourite device was the Palm Treo 680. Palm has a wonderful OS. It doesn’t look very modern, but the usability was excellent. If it had 3G, I would have kept the device. But my provider (Telfort) stopped providing EDGE connectivity, so I was forced to buy a new phone.
Now let’s hope the E71 meets my expectations, and I hope this is the device that lasts longer than my previous devices! Will this be my ultimate phone?
