Well AVG is gone.. i just can’t stand it.. NOD32 is taking it’s place. At least it has been tested a lot by me at home and proven to be the best. I still cannot understand why we never installed it int he first place.

Now i will finally be able to do the work without bothering with stupid AV software taking all the resources from my system. And the best part is that ESET updates NOD32 often and detection rate is nearly perfect. Not like AVG that failed the virus test by detecting only about 50%..

WP 2.7 Dashboard

Everyone should try it .. it just rocks

5/5 stars from me

I guess it was just a matter of time till I would jailbreak that baby.

Anyhow here are some of the nice apps I have discovered (Jailbreak required for all of them):

• Cycorder – Allows you to record videos with your iPhone, something that Apple does not allow you to do, weird enough.
• WinterBoard – A very nice replacement for standard SpringBoard, allows custom wallpapers on the SB screens, theme support and lost of other stuff.
• StatusNotifier and Notifier Widget addon – Combination of those 2 apps will allow you to see the status on your lock screen and status bars with small icons. Really usefull if you ask me.
• PDANet -This allows you to turn your iPhone into a modem for your PC. Quite nice as well when you are on the road and have unlimited traffic plan.
• Terminal — Now this baby is really nice for those who are used to Terminal on MacOSX or Linux. Works just the same way and lets you do all tons of stuff. Install OpenSSH and yuo got an SSH client in your iPhone. Now you can manage all your servers remotely via iPhone, no need for a laptop

There are natually way more applications available and probably most people will find something else that is useful just for them, but this is my list.

Today i turn 22 which seems like a nice number. I am yet to see what this day will surprise me with and how it will all turn out to be.

Happy birthday to me, i say!

Apparently it has already been registered, got registration number and should be ready on Friday or begining of the next week. I sure hope it will be on Friday! That way i ahve an entire weekend to drive around and enjoy!

More update on this matter later

Webapps are basicaly small applications running in the web browser. To make a webapp you simply need to know a little of HTML and Javascript.

First – something to laugh about:

Now, some people have created a starter kit, called iTemplate and are selling it for $199 !!!
Are you kidding me? $199 for a simple HTML page and an image?
Now here is what they write:

Do you want to create your own web app website but you don’t know how? Even if you have only a little website creation experience, you can create your own web app website with our new iTemplate starter kit!

What comes in the kit?

We give you an HTML template file, sample image files in various formats, links to important creation and submission information, and a document explaining just how to create your web app and submit it. We give you information that our design company has learned since day one of our online experience.

Now i seriously hope this is some kind of a joke, and nobody will actually be stupid enough to buy it. I can’t even understand how could Apple release it into their webapps page.

Want to see it for yourself?

And now – something usefull:

Well, that iTemplate thing was pretty amusing until it comes down to you – how do you start? Well, if you really need some kind of template to start from – do not worry – there are actually some good templates available for free, just like it should be.

I present you iWebkit 3.0 http://iwebkit.net/ — a good template under constant development that will help you get started with developing webapps for your iPhone and even let you easily create some cool effects for your webapp

Mobile operator Telia in Sweden is quite slow when processing new requests. It has already been over one week since my order of iPhone3G (see a few posts below) and moving my phone number from another operator to Telia, and yet still haven’t got any word from them about the status of the order.

I did get some papers to sign (paper is so 1990?) even thou one would think it should’ve been handled with e-id instead. But all that was about 5 days ago. And the worst thing is you can’t even follow the status of your order on “My Pages” which makes it quite frankly useless.

Now i just asked a friend of mine who just happens to work for Telia to check it out for me. The results were the following:

Number transfer is scheduled for 2008-12-08, no more information available

“No more information available”? And that is from Telia’s own system. After some thinking I drew the following time line for the order:

• Telia receives the order, processes it manually (so next business day)
• Sends the papers the next business day after processing the order
• You sign and post back, even if you do it same day it will be about 2 business days before papers get back to Telia
• Telia then files a request for number transfer, which takes probably around 5-6 business days
• A few days before the transfer is due, a new SIM card and the phone is send out

Now I may be a bit too much of a digital guy (”Cause I’m a 21st century digital boy”…) but seriously — they have the technology and already have it implemented in their systems to speed this process up by days! First things first — use e-id to sign the number transfer documents — you are saving at the very least 2-3 days on that. Then automate the number transfer process as it actually only takes an hour or so if everything is automated. And at the same time you can send out the new SIM card along with the ordered phone.

So instead of having to wait weeks, it can take 3-4 days tops with all deliveries! That is quite some difference, don’t you think?

Latest one was iPhone3G that should be arriving next week as well.
This is probably the last thing i purchase this year (You didn’t believe it either, did you?)

Still haven’t heard or seen iPhone3G? Man, you are out of date! But no worries – here is a little something for you to read: http://www.apple.com/iphone/
