SonyEricsson P910
Just a few minutes after I have finished the post on mobile phones, I found out that SonyEricsson has announced P910 – the next model continueing the trends of P800 and p900.
Main advancements seem to be:
- Increase of internal memory from 16 MB to 64 MB.
- Support for up to 1 GByte of memory via Sony Memory Stick Duo.
- Additional QWERTY keyboard on the inside of the flip (see image on the right).
- Better screen that now supports 262,000 colors.
They have also added a whole bunch of software such as an Opera browser and GPS navigation program that works with GPS devices attached via Bluetooth.
On mobile phones
There is an interesting and thought provoking post at Slashdot. Summery: Nokia lost about 4% of global marketshare of mobile devices, which is about 13% of their sales. One of the steps they are taking to struggle with it is introduction of 35 new phone models this year.
I have been thinking a lot on this subject for some time now. ..
No more missing files

Every change to a structure of the website brings one of two things – either an increase in the number of “Not Found” pages also known as 404, or an increase in the mess with redirection files, which move visitors from old locations to new ones. Every time there is a choice to be made in favour of one or the other.
After a recent reorganization of photo albums I’ve noticed an increase in the 404s in the logs. It gave me the opprotunity to think about the issue once again, and I decided to change the configuration of my web server, which runs on Apache, to redirect from any missing file to the root of the site. All had to do add this line:
ErrorDocument 404 /
to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and restart the daemon.
This step, of course, doesn’t guarantee that those who seek for something specific will find it, but it sure does improve the chances.
So there’ll be no more 404s on this server! Enjoy browsing. :)
CYLUG – CYprus Linux User Group

Somehow I managed not to mention CYLUG – CYprus Linux User Group here for some time. Correction the situation…
CYLUG, like many other Linux User Groups (LUGs), is about helping people to find answers to their Linux-related questions. CYLUG does have a website, an active mailing list, a set of projects, and even hold meetings, though a bit rarely.
Mailing list is a rather low traffic one, but offers some fast responses. Few real Linux guru that I know are subscribed to the list and generously offer their help. There is even a choice of languages that you can aks you question in – Greek or English. English provides with a wider audience, but Greek is still the only option for a number of people seeking help.
