Reactivating Widsets on a Phone after a firmware update

hint for Widsets users, after an update (for instance if there is a new release of a firmware) to re-activate widsets;
* go to website http://www.widsets.com
* login
* on "My profile" select the "settings" option
* there is a button way over on the right (well it is today 2007.10.31) marked reload, this sends an SMS with a download link.
* follow the link to download all of your old widgets (mine was some 200K)

New Gadget from Nokia

New nokia tablet.
Both touch and Full keyboard
Looks pretty awsome to me.

Found via Engadget

Australian anti-speeding comercial

you will need to click on the link at the top of the page to get a popup window to watch it, but probably worth it.

Totally relaxing. After three days of totally amazing days (blue skys and +26 C), and really amazing sunsets, like below


Fist day, did a bit of sawing logs, etc. Next three days spent sleeping on the swing bench. did somemore sawing and chopping of logs. Final day was spen collecting mushrooms.

New Gadget

gave in last thursday and got a new Gadget.
Had been looking at this since i saw it on engadget, and living in Finland (home of Nokia), managed to get one early :) Apparently they are selling like "things that sell really well"(TM)

Cool - GPS, full keyboard, 3MP camera (that can do VGA video as well), HUGE screen, reasonable size, things work as expected (a thing that is rarer with technology than you would think!)

Not so cool - i seem to have "done something" to the hinge already (does not click like it did when new), down on the cursor thingie is not as "crisp" as the other directions, does not seem to have a way to copy my outlook inbox.

and the MicroSD memory cards are F'ing tiny!!
