Long break and back to work

It was long time ago from last post. I had real "without thinking about work" vacation. Mostly cycling and resting with family in small house near lake shore. I've been using Internet mostly for communication and weather forecasts. After back to work I had to catch up to meet approaching deadlines. So sorry about not giving any signs of life for a long time.

Finished summer (and computer) break

I am back. At the computer and broadband internet.

Some break was needed for mind rest. I feel slightly changed my point of view.

It's time to get back to work. I have to check email and all online services I use.

Back on track - but I feel urge for some improvement.

Vacation - planning day with weather service

I am spending vacation at the polish Baltic Sea shore. The place, where the summer weather is a mix of wind, sun and rain. In that circumstances, good weather forecast service is really helpful.
I am checking weather forecasts at ICM institute site. It uses numerical prediction model for 2 day short horizon forecasts. The forecasts are detailed and precise for selected area. Unfortunately forecasts are available only for Europe. That forecast service is really good. Many times it saved me biking in the rain.
So now I am checking when it stops raining so I could walk on the beach.

Taking 2 week summer vacation

I'm going today at summer vacation. I will be back in two weeks. Meanwhile, I will try to post something using smartphone (I don't take any laptops - it's rest time). The 8 hour car driving in the night is still before me, so I have to finish packing and catch some naps through day.

It's going to be fun.

Day off and mobile internet

Disclaimer: That post should be published one day before, but it is today, due to unusual mobile posting problems.

I took one day off to enjoy summer in beautiful nature surroundings.
Being in possession of cell phone with some smartphone possibilities, I have decided to try out mobile internet.

Few days ago, I have turned on gprs service at my cell provider. Everyday I have been surrounded by computers, almost all connected online.

What for do i need internet on my cell? One reason are convenient online services kille weather or dining searching. The other explanation is that I am computer/internet addict.
I have tried some useful software on my nokia s40 phone.
Here is my list:
Opera mini - good for search and news browsing
Gmail mobile - explanation is not needed
Midpssh - nice ssh client - for use in critical situations
Some IM ,SIP VOIP client - still searching
The real pain is text input. It would be nice to use better method than T9

Enough. I am going for a walk
