P800 links

It’s Sunday and I have few moments to look for sites about my new SE P800. So, here we go:

  • P800 forum @esato.com – lots of discussions every day.
  • www.p800.co.uk – news, forums, links, etc. Lovely place.
  • sep800.mine.nu – kind of a personal collection of ringtones, sounds, pictures, software and a bunch of other staff. Very nice.

  • twilightwap.com – nice collection of polymorphic ringtones. I’ve enriched myself with Robert Miles’s “Children”, Pulp Fiction theme, South Park TV intro, and Imperial March of Star Wars. :) I’ll come back to this one when I am bored again. :)

There are, of course, plenty of other resources…

Spending the day

That’s beach day again. I’ve spent some time in the morning annotating Hazard’s pictures, but didn’t manage to release them to the general public. :)

Beach place this Saturday was Kourium, near by the colliseum. Lots of ways, top-less babes, sandy wind, sun, and some beer. Nice time. No pictures though. I’m like fed up of shooting the same place for the 10th time. Anyway, you get the feeling. :)

After the beach, we went to Hazard’s place to have some very, by now, well known mussles. With Lev this time. In order to have proper time to enjoy those mussles we decided to have some Pizza Hut before. Anyway, the process of cooking mussles was very similar to the last time and interested ones can look it up in the photo gallery. ;) The result was excellent again, although not as good as the last time. Still, close to perfection. :)

Since beach and mussles are not enough to stop energizer bunnies like we are, we continued with nargile at Lev’s place. And watermelon. And more nargile. That seemed to be ending the day…

…but the way home was through a well known hot doggy place, so we couldn’t resist the tempation and got ourselves a nice and testy hot dog each with ketchup, mustard, and fresh onion. Paired with coke makes a good meal on the beach at 2 o’clock in the morning. Now, real trip home and hopefully end of the day. :)

By the way, I’ve managed to release the pictures from Hazard’s computer, while he was cooking. So, enjoy three new annotated albums (Sea, Akamas, and Mussles).

Limassol Beer Festival

Work…work…work. Last day of work for this week, though :)

After the work, I’ve picked up Lev, Hazard and headed home for Olga. Then, all together we went to Germania restaraunt for some real good food and real good beer. Places like this are empty these days, due to so called “Beer Festival”.

Now, let me tell you something about beer festival in Limassol, Cyprus. First of all, Cyprus has nothing to do with beer. It’s a wine place. To prove this, Limassol hosts wine festival every year for last 20 or 30 years. And it’s kind of cool – all wine makers present themselves in one place. By “all wine makers” I mean really ALL wine makers – from individuals to factories. And all of them gather in one place. You pay a pound or two for the ticket and you can enjoy all the wine you can. This is, though, very different from the beer festival. Originally, there was no beer festival in Limassol. Niether was any in Cyprus. But, there happened to be one successful bar, called “Chesters“, and you know it, if you’ve been on these pages at least once. I am a regular there. Anyway… The owner of that bar decided that it would be nice to start a good tradition for beer lovers. So, he started hosting “Chesters’ Beer Festival” every year right in front of his bar. Many beer importers were putting their tents around the place, live music was playing and hot dogs were cooking. Anyone who thought they were missing something, could pretend to be vising the bar and just going in for a good old whisky or something. So it was for three or four years aucasinosonline. Then, Limassol municipality decided that most of the city is missing it, and that it would be good to have some extra money instead of giving it some rich guy who already has a proper bar, so they started their own festival. I knew from the very beginning that it will suck, so I didn’t go. But Lev did. And his impressions were much worse then what I was expecting – no draught beer, no Carlsberg, no food, no proper sound. Rap music mixed with greek traditional music, announced by DJ for small, but expensive bottles of beer. Everyone ended up in the brewery, which is nex to the festival place.

So, since everyone was on a festival, we had a great time in empty German restaraunt. Then we went to Hazard’s place for some more beer and a movie. It took Hazard some time to reconfigure his Nvidia to spit things out to the TV, since his last upgrade, so we had a pleasent game of chess with Lev on my newly aquired Sony Ericsson P800. :)

After Hazard managed to bring the vision back, we watched “The Animatrix“, which was good, but boring enough to not stop me from falling asleep right in the middle of it. Give me a credit – I hate Japanese animation, so I was very strong to stay until the middle. Though it was exactly Japanese, but it was very close. :)

By the good old tradition, after falling asleep at Hazard’s place, I get home and continue sleeping there… :)

Three big things…

Three big things happened today.

Firstly, I’ve advanced to the level of abbot on PerlMonks.com. It took me about two month, but today I finally did it. I’ve got 1000 XP points with exactly 100 write-ups. Of course there are other forces involved like some voting and frequent visiting of the site, never the less it looked nice. :)

Secondly, I’ve finally bought that Sony Ericsson P800 that I’ve been dreaming of for the last few month. Most of the day after office I spent RTFMing, since it comes with the book and a lot of staff in the box. :) Purchase of additional memory and Bluetooth headset has been postponed until better [financial] times. :)

Overall, the phone looks and feels as I expected it to be, and even better at certain times. Hand writing recognition is truely excellent. Lots of menus and options to play with. Interface is mostly intuitive and documentation is good. The only thing I couldn’t do properly is configure WAP. GPRS I didn’t try, since my card does not yet allow it, but that I’ll take care of tomorrow. Anyway, I’ll need few days to learn to use the thing. :)

Third big thing that happened today is Hazard publishing the whole bunch of photos from the last few days. I am currently downloading, resizing, rotating, and annotating them, so don’t expect them today. Tomorrow is more likely. Lots of nice pictures indeed. :)

Final Destination 2

Off to cinema with Olga for a rather random movie, since all the cinema guides stopped updating at least 1 month ago. Random movie today appeared to be “Final Destination 2. Neither me, nor Olga have seen the first part, but that was not much of a problem. Olga liked the movie. I consider it to be more or less OK. It’s a bit boring with ideas and story telling, but it has some very nice shooting of car accidents. It’s like watching few case studies for a book of safety instructions. :)

The whole idea though on cheating death and extending your life time by doing random stupid staff is kind of lame. The black guy with the idea of totally controlling his life is also lame – that was pointed out in the Matrix about 4 years ago, but I guess he hasn’t seen it. :) On the other hand, the movie creates the atmosphere for thinking about the life time, death, control, cause-effect, and a bunch of other semi-phylosophycal staff, which we happily did sitting in Kanika, eating Sophies ice-cream. :)
