Escape from boredom

It started to rain quite heavily, as Elin said, if we had lived two hundred years ago we would have thought that it was the end of days…

My old 5140 have annoyed me quite much the past few week, turning itself of every once and then and leaving me with the need to take the battery out to unlock it, and then use the charger to switch it on. The use of the charger was needed because the on/off switch did not work after the phone had been in the washing machine last year.

So I bought a 5500 sport, wanted a phone with a bit more functionality than my old one. So have had it since Tuesday, and it has…guess what…turned itself of twice. By using the code *#0000# I’m able to check the OS version – currently V04.03. I will try to upgrade the os, hoping that will do the trick.

Anyhow, when I got it I looked for the auto lock, just to realize that it had no auto lock. I had to download it and install it as just another program. If you ever need it, do a search for AutoLock_v1.1_for_S60_3rd_ed.SISX. I have a fear that Symbian sucks bigtime!!!

King Leopold’s Ghost: a story of greed, terror, and heroism in Colonial Africa or “Kong Leopolds arv” in Norwegian, my latest book. Such stories we never did learn in school, but really should have. By reading this book you get a much better understanding of the story of Africa the past 100 years. I won’t try to retell it here, I would just recommend the book to you for sure!
