I finally got my very own Nokia N800, brought from my sister direct from Amazon.com. So far, I’m loving it. The screen is crystal clear! Im currently figuring out how to upgrade the firmware to the latest version in order to get the latest feature enhancement like Skype and Flash 9 support. I’m loving it so far.
About The Device
Nokia N800 is an internet tablet that is powered by Linux. The geek in me thinks that if it’s Linux it must be good - to hack 
I sure hope to find this device useful. I’ve been tired of carrying my laptop so I’m settling on this not-so-little device to surf the web while drinking latte:) By the way, an on-going collaboration among N800 hackers are currently porting Linux applications to this device. Visit maemo.org for more info.
Now for picture-loving people.. here’s my device. Sorry about the quality of photos. This was taken using my Treo 650 camera. Quality is not that great.
More photos later on

I’ve been a Gmail user for quite some time already. I love the interface and logging in is as secure as I want it to be. However, once a user has provided the correct user name and password, the system redirect the request to a unsecure site for accessing the mails. That’s not good. I don’t know why Google is doing that but I just don’t like my emails being sent as clear-text to and from my terminal.
Recently, I figured out a way to redirect to the secure version of the mail interface. To do that, type https://mail.google.com/mail on your browser’s address bar or click here. Now, your browser will be redirected to an SSL secured version of the mail interface upon a successful login.

Following emerging development in online/offline computing like Adobe’s Apollo platform or Microsoft’s Silverlight platform, Google releases Gears which will allow developers to create applications using JavaScript that will run in offline mode and could synchronize to a remote application (e.g. server application) when available.
Google Gears group writes:
Google Gears allows developers to enhance their AJAX applications to be able to run even when their users are offline. This is the official discussion group for web developers interested in using Google Gears in their applications.
Google Gears provides application programming interface (APIs) for offline application access and data storage (using SQLlite). Licensed: BSD

It’s quite a while since the last post I’ve made. Currently on blog-hibernation and cooking up some exciting stuff. I’m into buying interesting domains lately. Hopefully, I can make use some of these domains for delivering contents and services. I’m starting to be come a technopreneur! I’ve had too much of coding/debugging already. It’s time to explore new (but related) posibilities.
