Daniel Silvers’s Weblog

I’ve been trying to keep up,

With the blogging, (blogger blogspot, LiveJournal, WordPress,)

With the online social networks/microblogging, (MySpace, FaceBook, Jaiku, Twitter, Pownce…)

With the artist storage locations (trying to keep us networked together in some social network like the above mentioned sites…) (Ovi, PhotoBucket Flikr)

The IM clients  (IRQ, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk and AIM

And the different ways to access them (Palringo, Fring, Trillian…)

and the one of it’s kind in my life, Last.fm

And anywhere else I’ve signed up and either use or forget I’m signed up…

Dear Internet,

I’m confused,

I’m lost…

…………In a sea of me…

……………………………….Lost…

……………………………………..Somewhere between where I was years ago,

When I got my first LiveJournal and MySpace accounts,

To now…

…………Trying to maintain them, and keep in touch with everyone from MySpace, that I still talk to on FaceBook, AIM, GTalk, and Jaiku, and send files to and fro on Pownce…

I like the diversity…

I absolutely love that I have to remember multiple passwords… and have different names… NOT!

I’m tired…

No, I don’t use my PC as often as I used to…

I’ve found my love of phones, and keeping connected to everything via mobile, outside… in my car… or in class has just gotten to be so much nicer!

I’m here now! Call me, text me, MMS me a photo, or a speech, Jaiku me, Reply to my Jaiku… Check out my Ovi account! I just took a photo, outside, doing something… and I uploaded it… from wherever I am, other then in front of a PC…

I don’t have to be inside, on a PC all day, I can be out, enjoying everything!

My friends say I’m always on my phone, but if I wasn’t, I’d probably not be out, as I’d probably be inside online!

I don’t have a job using computers all day… If I did, I don’t think I’d have as strong an online presence…

I’d be sick of it…

Just a thought…

I guess this is directed in the wrong place…

Can I let you in on a secret?

I’ve might have a BlueTooth keyboard coming to me… shhh don’t tell my PC…

I think I’ll share it with my N73, or the N82 I’ve been borrowing… and they’ll share it with my N800 Internet Tablet…

This isn’t helping…

I got lost somewhere…

There’s the rant on my connectivity to the Internet… which I’ll have to take up another time, in another rant

AND

The rant on my multiple Internet locations that I can be found… or that’ve gotten lost…

I’ve got 4 blogs on WordPress (5 if you consider thephonetutor and phonetutor different… Even though they have exactly the same info)

2 Live journal accounts, but I might’ve freaked in my emoness (Spell check?) and deleted them…

1 MySpace account I deleted the other one… I think…

1 FaceBook account…

I’ve since gotten into Jaiku, and it’s met my needs, and in a more immediate sense…

It’s not a just a comment with one person and wait for that person or anyone to get back to me… it’s a post how you are, how you feel, what you need, where you are, or just a saying hi to the community place,

I liken Jaiku to this: If I’m having a ____ day, I don’t tell everyone on my AIM or GTalk contact list “I’m having a ____ day” I post a Jaiku stating “ I’m having a ____ day†and anyone on my feed gets an update… and can reply, add to or just view and say nothing…

Imagine a network, based on just replying to someone’s away or outgoing message that’s more like it… people pay attention that way…

That’s Jaiku to me… When I need something, I say I need something, and people see it, and usually come through…

I think that I would consider a paid Jaiku service… One in which I can get hosting for file sharing, file storage, leaving a constant update of sorts like a blog or like VOX… Oh yeah… I forgot about my VOX account!

I’d like to have something with the community that I’ve found, and the ease if use as Jaiku, as a running site, while also being able to post FROM Jaiku TO my blog,

Instead of RSS FROM my blog TO Jaiku…

Just a thought…

I guess, all in all, with the diarrhea of the mouth, mind and fingers, this was a rant on how I’ve gotten lost…

How I feel diluted across the net,

and how i’ve started to replace most of the connections I’ve had with others via MySpace FaceBook and AIM with connecting with people via Jaiku

and how I’ve replaced the ranting and blogging on other blog sites with me beginning to form my very own .com

Am I growing up?

Stay tuned… I’m sure I’ll prove my immaturity soon down the road.

Through the S60 Ambassador program I was loaned a BRAND NEW Nokia N82.

Opening the N82 and learning how to use it was a breeze, it was the familiar s60 software that I came to love in my first real Nokia device, the 6682, which I got 3 years ago from Cingular when I was unimpressed with all of the other devices they had listed… I have since become a loyal Nokia fan as well as the S60 platform. A couple of months ago I purchased a used unlocked (Or, BORN FREE) N73, which was a step up from my aging 6682. It has an amazing 3.2Mp camera, and I started taking pictures all the time, using Lifeblog and uploading my pictures to Photobucket and MySpace / Facebook. Going from a 1.3Mp camera in my 6682 to the 3.2 Mp camera in the N73 was amazing, but words cannot describe what it was like to move up to a 5.0Mp with the Xenon flash found on the N82

On the outside, the N82 might look very similar, and act very similar, to the N73 but this was not the case! This is a huge jump up! Nokia knows that this is how you improve a model!

Aside from the features that are not visible like the GPS and an accelerometer-like-feature for screen positioning, there is increased internal memory from the 73’s 42mb to an astounding 128mb it had noticeable impact.

The pc connection has been changed from the CA-53 which was the clunky bottom mounted connector found on most Nokias’, to the CA-101 which is a small almost Micro USB sized connector, it is close to the one for the N8*0 Internet Tablets, but it is not the same, instead it is proprietary, so do not lose it! Also there is a 3.5mm connector on the top which can be used for connecting speakers, headphones, or the included RCA jack plug for connecting to your TV for showing Video! I use mine for connecting in the car and using as an MP3 Player, when I get a call the microphone cancels out itself running through the car speakers, it actually works really well, except I still have to hold the phone.

One nice thing that I noticed about the N82 was the “App in use†icon located in the top right of each icon in use. A little blue circle that lets you know that something in that folder is open, and as you open folders you can find what you have open. This was helpful in knowing how I was conserving battery life. And just knowing what the phone was doing

I have really had a decent amount of time to really push this phone and play with it. Today I plugged the phone into my friends 7†monitor in his car stereo and used Google maps to show active traffic while we were heading into Manhattan.

With the built in Wi-Fi I am finding it much easier to browse the web when I am in places where I know there is a connection, this makes it much easier for me uploading pictures to my OviShare account, or keeping up with conversations on Jaiku…

While I love the service I get with AT&T I must join the ranks in ranting about not being able to take advantage of US 3G. I am looking forward to seeing how this phone compares to the N78 which I hope will be coming out soon… With the built in FM Module I think that this phone should defiantly be targeted to the iPhone/Pod crowd, as every fm modulator I have bought for my iPod hasn’t worked properly. I like when I get out of my car, and disconnect the tape adapter, my song follows me to the door of where I am going.

I have not yet tried the N95 but have heard nothing but good things, my only thing is that while I do listen to music, It is not so driven as to need something as bulky as the N95, which I feel is built around the music, with it’s dedicated keys and whatnot. I’m sure that if one were to fall into my lap I’d be listening to more music and changing my tune… But until that date (any time now guys…) I would have to say that the N82 is a very powerful phone for my needs

I believe this phone is one further step in the right direction, a move that has continued to show Nokia’s desire to offer features necessary to consumers.

Now break out the N78!

So, I’ve found a plugin, seems to be ok, but I am stupid this morning, and cannot follow directions…

http://mbz.nu/portfolio/jaiku-mbz/

it seems clear-cut…  Maybe tomorrow…

I’m trying to do too much with myself, my life, my pc, my online presence… and there’s really not enough time for any of this…

I’m off… maybe more to write later…

I like firsts… the problem is that as with so many other things I start… I hope that I can actually contribute to this…

So, this will be my general page I assume.

I will also try to maintain a page for my driving rants, School, and whatever comes to mind…

I will also try to keep a technology space, and maybe I can start this plan I’ve been working on in my head… and see if it can take off…

Just feel so distracted in life, and even moreso lately…

Keep reading… danDan
