Gingerbread

16 May 2011AndroidSascha

Today I finally managed to get some gingerbread onto my Nexus mobile phone.

And yes we are talking Android versions here, not sweets!

Until now I haven’t received any update after 2.2.1 … so I finally decided to downgrade to an older but original Google firmware … and tada! … I immediately got the upgrade notice for gingerbread (being Android version 2.3.4)!

Went kinda nicely, just had to approve all previously installed applications and setup all my accounts once again.

But now I am happy on gingerbread ;)

Electronic home in Denmark

29 April 2011World Wide WebSascha

Since this week I also have an electronic home in Denmark
https://sascha.mehlhase.dk :)

Setting up my own name server in Denmark turned out to be much more difficult than in Germany or for the .info domains, but on the other hand the domain is cheaper … well maybe also less used. But it’s more of a completeness thing!

50 years in space

April 12th 1961: Yuri Gagarin is the first man ever to journey into outer space in his Vostok 1 capsula!

In memory of this day, an open movie called First Orbit is released today.

New weblog back-end

After several year and a few earlier attempts I will now try to migrate from my Blogger hosted Weblog to my own WordPress blog!

In case you registered the ATOM or RSS feed, you will have to change that :)

Phones and mobile phones

13 March 2011Computers and ITSascha

After quite a few good years with my broadband service provider (Hansenet), they finally started bitching around in the last few weeks holding back my mobile numbers as long as they could, ruining the good image. Meh … now they are history. If anybody needs a cheap prepaid mobile carrier in Germany I could recommend Simyo these days …

Besides that, and after the apartment is coming slowly together, I also managed to set up the phone connection there and both of us got mobile numbers by now.

Which reminds me … it’s really amazing, a normal SMS within Denmark costs about 1 Cent and a minute talking is about 8 Cents. Please let me know if you have a good explanation why SMS should be significantly more expensive in Germany!?
