Sponkers in BETA!

nokia has come a long way since the last i used their handsets.
now most of their handsets on symbian based(i’m proud to say i
used one of the 1st generation nokia symbian nokia 7650).
the new sets looks so much more impressive. and the response is
much better than my trusty old 7650 as well.

well okie, i’m not gonna gush about the sets. truth be told, i
haven’t been using a nokia set for more than a year now. however,
the new services that they are launching might just draw me
back into their fold.

Ovi by Nokia. it’s a really cool platform in my opinion.
it’s something like a community site, where you get to share
files, photos, videos and events.

it links you to other nokia fun stuff like nokia games platform.
it’s been named n-gage. yes, the same name as the weird ass phone.
kinda confusing when i first heard it too. what’s so cool about
n-gage?

first off, the graphics of the games are definitely way better.
another plus point would be that you could play multiplayer games
with your friend. yes, multiplayer!! and it’s not only with
your friend who is right in front of you. it can be the friend
that’s feeling bored in his lecture while you are bored having a
meeting with your client. as long as you and your friend are able
to get wireless connection for your set, you are ready to get
the game on. only downside, you have to pay for most of the games
if you like them.

there’s also a music download store from nokia. it has most of the
major labels up there.sucks for you if you are more of an indie
person though.the indie collection isn’t as comprehensive.
but still, they have quite an impressive list over there.
it’s actually quite cheap to purchase music too.
you can use either credit/debit card or buy prepaid cards
from selected outlets or even AXS machines if you are in Singapore.

and no, i dont work for them. just happen to find out about it
and i thought i should share it.

in the process of getting things to work for this blog, it ignited my interest of playing around with the codes and also building a testing environment again. now i just need to get my lazy ass moving and get back to playing my ubuntu, getting the LAMP up. so many things to play around and learn.

setting up a testing environment locally would be much better than randomly messing
around my blog and screwing things up.

i do hope my interest in these things will last though. i tend to just dump them aside once
i reach a hurdle that i could not overcome.

finally gotten my Permalink to work correctly. found out that i needed to input a string of lines into the .htaccess file.

initially i was struggling to figure out how to get this .htaccess folder but it turns out that
i just need to simply create a text file and name it xxx.htaccess(not necessarily xxx, you can use any alphanumeric characters in front of .htaccess. Windows would not let you save the file without any alphanumeric characters in front of the .) before uploading it using my FTP client to the server into the same folder that contains the index.php file.

once you have all these done, you could customise your permalinks the way you like.
head over to Abnerd for screen captures on how to customise your permalinks according to postname.
