Nokia Buying Symbian - Never though Apple and Google could shake the mobile phone market this much. Now, what about the other manufacturers that use the Symbian platform? Will they remain developing Nokia’s open source platform, or will they be pushed towards Android?

Long Nails and the iPhone - Never crossed my mind…

Application Development, Part II

The second most tedious and pain-in-the-ass task in application development? Localization.

Mechanical Pencil

I tend to draft a lot of interface sketches on paper before prototyping them on Photoshop, for that I use a pencil, a mechanical one… I love mechanical pencils, not just any mechanical pencil, a good one, and I’m very, very picky concerning mechanical pencils. Ok, I guess you got it…

Anyway, while searching for a new one, I found this unknown brand - at least to me - and bought one: A OHTO Promate 0.3, (bottom of the page) japanese made, awesome little thing with excellent balance, grip, build quality and great design.

It’s a great substitute for my all time favorite mechanical pencils, the Staedtler one I had more than 10 years ago, which I don’t even remember the model. It fell off my shirt’s pocket into a… toilet! And well, it stayed there. I still miss it, but the new one is an amazing substitute. Rest In Peace Staedtler.

My new OHTO mechanical pencil and some cool COPIC markers.

Japanese Sites

Japanese sites have unique look and feel that fascinates me. I often find myself surfing through them, even if I don’t understand a thing. Try it, it’s like entering another dimension! :)

BTW, have you seen the japanized Google page?

Geneva

Awesome city, been there 2 days and fell in love with it. I already miss it. It’s hard to explain. I must go back, preferably in the winter, it must be beautiful all snowy…

PS: Bought myself a neat swiss army knife.
