Escape from boredom

I had to replace my old phone, the Nokia 5500 Sport. The microphone did not function properly anymore, so people did not hear what I said. So yesterday I went out to the office to pick up a Nokia N73 which was just lying there. Spent about two-three hours all in all, and then I was back up running again. Thanks to the Nokia PC-suite it was easy to transfer my contacts. Just take a backup from the old phone, and do a restore on the new one. The data cable I bought for the old one fits the new one as well, that helps a lot when doing such work. I also upgraded the software on the phone.

The camera on the new one is quite good, 3,2 MP. Apart from that I do not need the new functionality. I guess I will miss the size of the old one, this one is bigger. Also the fact that the old one was meant to cope with more outdoor use than this one. Hope it will last at least a year, since it is exactly a year since I bought the old one /blog/index.php/2007/07/05/new_cellphone_nokia_5500_sport

Tested the camera, here you have me and Anders.

Have read some articles about the new Opera here in Oslo where it gets criticized for not being well formed for disabled persons, in this case the blinds. Here is one of those articles

I must say that I agree when it comes to the interior of the building, it should be accessible for blind people, but why on earth are they complaining about the exterior? There is only one reason to go up on the roof of the building and that is to enjoy the view…

If you want to get revenge on the Spanish Slug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_slug, you can actually eat it (yuch!) According to http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article2538243.ece you must

1) Put them in salt for 2 or 3 days.
2) Boil them in water for about 3 hours
3) Add taste, garlic, wine or butter
4) Enjoy!

Spanish Slug is know as the Iberiasneglen in Norway, or Brunsegl. The latin name is Arion lusitanicus.

…Sex is not the preserve of the young and gonorrhoea and syphilis are no respecters of age….Increased international travel, internet dating, new drugs to counter erectile dysfunction and overlapping sexual networks may also be factors….
