I’ll be doing minor fixes to the current templates in order to get everything (tags, for instance) up and running but actually I’m working on a redesign already, so this just to say: Let me know if something looks or acts strange (the lack of real content is not a bug, it’s me being lazy and busy).

The slightly longer version would go something like: I like Nokia phones, I like the Symbian stuff. And I’ve never owned a Nokia that wouldn’t selfdestruct, slowly but steadily within about a year. They’re fine for the first few weeks, then they spin into their suicide cycle: Everything starts to slow down, using the camera takes ages, sending text messages starts to be a pain etc. etc. Random shutdown, auto-assigned random profiles, general instability. So I start not trusting my phone.

And every time I buy a new one, I think to myself that this is the biggest, most expensive phone I’ve ever had. And every time, I feel liked I’m being held beta-hostage at gunpoint.

You wan’t a feature-packed phone? Then pay up and accept that you only get some of them, not at the same time — and you can’t choose what and when yourself. Oh, and the basic phone features probably won’t work.

So I decided to accept that doing a software upgrade would destroy whatever I had on the phone, yadi-yadi-da and connected to the required PC. But as XP is a useless piece of where’s-my-driver crap, of course the Nokia software and/or XP suddenly encountered cable connection trouble halfway. Rendering my phone useless. Which I had been warned could happen if I myself did soemthing stupid along the way. But which of course also is the case if, say, Nokia decide to use, say, Windows XP as their preferred way of repairing (no, not ‘upgrading’ — _repairing_) their products on my time.

Which is more or less like trying to fix a broken turd with vomit and forcing me to watch for an hour…
