湖岸记

雨后湖畔凉风转 明月相伴千杯还

忽闻琵琶哀怨声 伊人亭内叹沧桑

 

把酒欲询伊人感 只顾琵琶不复旁

如此相见在天涯 仅诉心音勿有他

 

天籁音间恨愁茫 心有所托情更长

明日嫁作他人娘 非所好也非所想

 

自古称羡戏鸳鸯 比翼连理人皆唱

不如湖畔千杯乱 笑尽人生多少难!

For the egocentric ones~

Good news for all N86 users lately, as a minor firmware update was released a few days ago and now: The much anticipated Ovi Maps with free driving navigation! Go to your Software Update app to download (approx 8mb download) it now!

Feels like 37 degrees currently… that’s killing T_T

Symbian^3 UI

More details for the next generation UI for Symbian…called Symbian^3.

 

Apparently, Nokia has ‘taken’ a lot of good points from other UIs and improved on their own advantages. Of course copying isn’t exactly a nice thing to do…but if you’re losing out and copying is the only way, then it should be. Whatever it is, I think the single feature which I’m most interested in will be the graphical multitasking which is “not a trick”(Quote: video). It gives me an AeroPeek feel which I think will definitely make multitasking so awesome that you won’t want to miss doing it at all! I mean, look at iPhone OS.

Few days of integrated seminars have passed. After today’s seminar, I guess everyone has a reason to be wary of their classmates. Hehe.

 

image Today I read about Ovi Mail having combined its address book with Ovi contacts. For unknowing people, Ovi is a set of services provided by Nokia to almost all Nokia users, maybe except 1208 and the likes. I was first exposed to this Ovi thing after I got my N86. Ovi Mail came as part of the free Ovi services to compete with the other smartphone market players, I believe.

 

I reminded myself of the number of times I have switched my mailboxes. Switching mailbox is never an easy thing. I used to have a Yahoo Mail account (Yahoo Mail was a big thing back then, compared to its petty competitor Hotmail, which I never like at all, but was forced to use when I started an MSN messenger account.), then changed to a second Yahoo Mail, then added a third Yahoo Mail together with the second one, then hotmail (MSN!~), then 163 (Chinese) mail, finally gmail when it was in its early beta stage. Of course, gmail remained until now.

 

Now that Google is on the verge of ruling the virtual world, I thought of leaving it by jumping to Ovi mail. Very ironic huh?

 

Of course it is always very good to see Nokia trying to protect its smartphone market that it once ruled with customer services. The pressure of free market. It even provides OTA sync of your details with Ovi server, which I think is very great.

 

But I guess I wont be switching to Ovi Mail yet huh? Gmail works perfect on Nokia Messaging anyway. I still write blog on blogspot (Google owned), read on Google Reader, and use Google search instead of Bing or Yahoo (which again something I have never liked to use).

 

Whatever it is, good job Nokia, and hope you continue to provide more conveniences and innovations to your users!

最近这几天终于又何多月不见的友人们重聚,可惜时间未允,尚未与所有人叙谈。

这几天里,大家都在分享过去数月的事情,算是共同学习(共同三八)的一种吧。

这才知道其实到处都发生了很多趣怪之事。三八当中又叹有笑。

又有谁能预知未来的日子里会发生什么事?也许朋友也会改变了。还不如趁现在把小小心结给忘记,过得快乐一点。以警戒及不信任之心对待所有身边的人,只会让自己老得更快。把一切事情看成一面倒对自己不利,只会让自己更加忧郁,没有信心面对接下来的挑战。

有时候看的比较简单,反而会快乐。

iPhone coming to DiGi!

Finally iPhone is now available to a second telco in Malaysia. Too bad my interest in iPhone is now replaced with iPod touch/iPad…and my money with N86.

 

Let’s see how Digi, who has a long record challenging the two taikos of Malaysian telco arena with all kinds of low prices, is planning to outsell Maxis. Hehe…interesting war ahead. I doubt if Digi has enough 3G coverage though.
