Here comes the Sun!
The first Monday of Daylight Savings Time. It always sucks loosing an hour of sleep, but then again I get the benefit of sitting in my kitchen with my coffee just in time to watch the sun come up.
Another weekend gone by too quickly. On the list of things that didn’t get done was to set send out the first mass mailing to all the readers of this blog. I’ve been toying with setting up an email list for quite a while, and a couple weekends ago set up dadamail for this purpose. What I’ll eventually do is grab the emails of everyone who has ever commented and left their email on this blog and then send a subscription invitation. Once I get a couple “readers” I’ll start to send out a weekly email with a roundup of the blog entries for the week plus some unique content (aggregation of popular linkblogs, del.icio.us feed, etc.).
I did get a new phone (Nokia 6230i) and hooked it up to my laptop via bluetooth, the thing that I was most impressed with is the 1.3 megapixel camera. In good lighting it is good enough to take “OK-for-Web” pictures, because there is no flash, the shutter speed is very slow. I downloaded a bunch of applications and loaded the phone up, so we’re good to go. I also upgraded my mobile phone package, but am not very happy with the deal I got, since while there are plenty of free talk minutes, there aren’t any free SMSs included with the package. This makes sending 2 SMSs just as expensive as a 1 minute call, that sucks…
OK, now back to work…

Recently when the one year contract with my cellular company expired I was surprised to find that I could bargain with them in return for signing up for another year - which I had no objections to doing. In my case I got 400 anytime minutes for no aditional charge.
Next time your contract comes up, you might try barganing for some SMS’s.

What sucks is that stella went on line as soon as we were done and checked the deals available there, and there was one that was IDENTICAL to the one we got except that it gives you 150 SMSs a month. That’s 30 EU value. That really sucks… now I have to wait 2 years before i can get my SMSs.
