As I wrote earlier, I ordered and Arduino Duemanilove and a Protoshield from eBay. Early this week it arrived and I was thrilled to get my hands on it. I haven’t had much chance to play with it yet, as we’ve had an immense snowstorm here. It’s been snowing for at least 4 days straight now, and that ammounts to over 4 feet of snow during those days alone. My back’s out and more snow is coming down. I don’t have much components lying around, as I forgot to order them and there’s no way I can drive to get some. I have some stuff I want to try but for now they’ll have to wait.

TBBT Season 3 Episode 15 – Large Hadron Collision
Feb 9, 2010 Reviews
I was seriously late in watching last weeks episode, even though I was waiting for it for ages. Last episode was for me one of the best to this date. I thoroughly enjoy when Sheldon steps of the realm of sanity. One thing that’s become more clear in season 3: Leonard has become more “human” and normal. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still the same neurotic, lactose-intolerant nerd he always was, but he just seems more at ease.

Weekend is here

No more work today, day is all done. I haven’t made any plans this weekend and hope I don’t have to. The plan is to relax and try to get better. Been a bit under the weather this week, and just now started feeling a bit better. I was supposed to work tomorrow, but had to get someone to take that shift for me.. No way I could be outside for hours and still get better.
I’ve got work bright and early monday morning, and have to be fit for that. Maybe I can watch a movie or two and also try to get some personal stuff done.
Hellboy II: The golden army is on the TV now, but I’ve seen it allready so I’m not really watching. The movie is OK and all but I think it’s too much like the first and looks like it was made just to make a sequel. Read the rest of this entry »

Jan 20, 2010 Personal, Reviews
I watched the latest episode today, and this show just doesn’t stop delivering. I don’t want to write too much, to spoil the episode but here’s the basics:
Leonard and Sheldon get home to find their apartment burglarized and Sheldon goes off on one of his normal rants. Read the rest of this entry »
Another day, another dollar and some movie stuff
Jan 19, 2010 Life, Personal, Reviews
Getting to the end of another day, and I’m beat. Seems I far more enjoy the days where there is stuff happening, as oposed to the days where nothing really happens. Tired? Yes, but on the days where there’s been lots to do it’s just so much better to crawl into bed with a great tired feeling.
Time flies far to fast

As you can probably tell, there hasn’t been any work done on this site since…forever.
I haven’t even had the time or desire to post anything in a long while. Thought I might change that today, and thus here’s a new post. I don’t really have anything to write about, so I’ll just run through some of the stuff in my mind lately.
Review: HTC Touch Diamond
Jul 13, 2008 Reviews
This isn’t a review of a camera or equipment. This is a review of my newly aquired HTC Touch Diamond PDA phone.
As far a looks go, this thing is amazing. First impression when I opened the package was simply: WOW! Starting to use the device was even more exciting.
The phone looks small and thin on photos, but when you hold it in your hand and use it, it’s still small and thin! I’ve often been disappointed about the size, but this one really held it’s promise.
The screen is 2.8″ and crystal clear! As it is a touch screen, it will get “dirty” but use a cloth meant for glasses to clean it, and that’s easily fixed.
The interface is called TouchFLO 3D and it does work quite well. I’ve read up a bit on this on other sites, and picked up a few places that was really disappointed with this. Personally I find it responds quick and as I want it to. Only once have I had problems, but that was more user error than anything else. Of course I’ve only had mine a few days so it’s limited what I’ve tested, but it looks to be allright.
The camera, which seems to be the big thing, is good. However as my hobby is photography I use a camera when I want to capture something I’d like to keep. My camera-phone is for when I want to capture something funny at a party or something.
I won’t be posting specs and such here, as other sites than mine has done that much better. Here’s a link to a very detailed listing of the HTC Touch Diamond p3700 (HTC Diamond 100).
For now I’ll post my “conclusion” but when I’ve been using it a few weeks I’ll update the page, to give further analysis on the phone.
I’m very satisfied, and feel it’s well worth the money to get this phone. Lately I’ve been getting more and more busy, and have to keep organized. This was a great solution for me, as it speaks with Office on my computer flawlessly. This really helps on the workflow and eases the hazzle of organizing your days.
