Away this week in Arvidsjaur
May 7, 2007
Just wanted to say I’m sorry on the lack of updates. I’m in Arvidsjaur, a small village in northern Sweden maybe most famous for the excessive winter testing of cars. The village rooms about 3000 test drivers every winter (according to my taxi driver) and is of course full of top secret car models that still haven’t reached the market).
I’m here recruiting a manager for the Swedish labour market agency and will hopefully fly home tomorrow morning. Arvidsjaur has 4,700 inhabitants. It is located about 110 kilometers south of the Arctic circle, in the middle of the historical province called Swedish Lapland. -Wikipedia

(I’ve added a Super (freeware) guide to this page! This solves the problem with freezing image and only audio playback after 30-40 min.
Basic guide
So you want to watch those favorite movies on your smartphone huh? Well guess what?

The application is pretty easy to use and converts all common video formats like avi, mov, mpeg and wmv (including DivX, XVid, Quicktime and Mpeg-2 codecs) to mp4 (H.264). It’s compatible with all devices that support playback of mp4-files. Thats pretty much the N71, N73, N75, N76, N80, N91, N92, N93 and all S60 3rd Edition devices such as the N95. [Read more]

How to: Determine where your Nokia phone was made
May 4, 2007
Rumor is phones built in Finland have greater build quality than those built elsewhere. You can find out where your Nokia phone was made by looking at the IMEI-code. You’ll find your IMEI-code by pressing *#06# when in idle menu, or you could just take out your battery and look at the label on the bottom of the battery case. [Read more]
