I’ve put my phone’s 8GB MicroSD card in an adapter the wrong way, and this is what happened when I tried to pull it out:
Then I remembered how my father was excited they got a 40MB hard drive in the computer training center where he worked, 20 years ago. It was huge!
Two hundred times that in a plastic card smaller than my thumb nail? I admire who ever had the imagination to dream that.

That didn’t remove the notice from the power menu, but the battery draining issue is gone.
And so many questions.
It’s been a week since the “Flotilla” events.
I can’t remember when news, any news, perturbed me so much.
Not because of what happened, but because of why, and how.
How did it get to be this way?
Why do I believe one side or the other?
Is there a truth?
With so much hate and violence, can it ever end?
And how can you not lose hope?
I don’t know.

Fring just announced their client now support Skype video calls on symbian mobile phones.
If you have an always-on computer at home (and a webcam), you can set up a Skype client on an auto-answer and auto-video mode.
To check out what’s going at home, just initiate a Skype video call. Pretty neat!
