  • Seesmic fun

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

  • Some “livestreams”

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt’s a shame I was running low on battery last night because I was at the Fanzone in Geneva for the Italy Vs. France match. I managed to stream a few moments of the game. Since the Italians have won this game we can look forward to a lot of noise…

  • The Italians are victorious and I flixwagoned it

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteAnd I may have taken over most of the frontpage by now.   

  • Mobile video streaming and the future of video sharing

    Reading Time: 2 minutesTwo years ago we had the World cup and with that came hundreds of videos shot in cities around the world of people celebrating soccer (or football as a sport). At the time everyone would go out with their video camera, record the footage, wait till they got home, capture it and…

  • Some more playing with Flixwagon.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteThese streams are to illustrate how easily you can record some video as live of a walk and upload them one you get to a wifi hotspot to avoid paying the data rates offered by most mobile operators. 

  • Finally re-united with my Macbook pro

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter over a month without the macbook pro it finally appears to be working again. Both the motherboard and the superdrive have been replaced. i’ve upgraded to the procare package and I’ve decided to have a secondary machine running linux as a backup.  It’s a shame that apple authorised resellers would…

  • How I played with Flixwagon at the Caribana.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteStreaming video from mopile devices is the future and I burned through 90 megabytes of data in just two nights of music festival. As a result of this the third night required a different approach. I used Flixwagon. Flixwagon is in the same family as Qik and Bambuser but with many…

  • replaced mother boards, the n95, press accreditations and qik

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteBecause every day is not the same this one has been quite normal. At eleven in the morning I found out that the motherboard for the macbook pro needed replacing and this should be accomplished by Tuesday. In second the day of work was a good one so I was energetic…

  • Macbook pro monitor still dead.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteOver a week later my laptop is still dead. It’s the same flaw as two weeks ago. I took it to technicians who did absolutely nothing for my laptop. They didn’t even run a diagnostic test to see that anything was wrong. Now I’m still without a laptop and I don’t…

  • Getting the laptop back (possibly)

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteTomorrow I should have a clearer idea on why the laptop decided to die on me but a phonecall yesterday points towards dust. I’m not sure what the dust may have destroyed but that’s what may have caused the fault.  Without the laptop it’s been an interesting week. It’s seen me…
