Performancing - a great plugin for Firefox

I just installed a plugin called Performancing, which allows writing blog entries easily with Firefox.

Writing after long silence

Last week was really busy with work and studies. The good news is that it seems that I will get a P1510 of my own, and therefore test it more deeply. One week until Christmas, after which there will be two weeks vacations. Well, if you can call that a vacation, when you are spending your time with a two years old "perpetual motion machine".. ;-)

Fujitsu-Siemens P1510

I had a chance to have a look at Fujitsu-Siemens' new tablet laptop, P1510. Weighting only about one kilogram, this piece of device is very handy while on the road. The keyboard is quite small, at least for people with large fingers, but after some test driving, I was able to write text at almost full speed. So no problem there.

The screen is 1024x600, which is of course quite limited, but still just enough for browsing web, reading email, and remote ssh connections. The battery power was a little dissapointment; only a few hours of operation, which is definately not enough. Well, there is a bigger battery available, which will give out something like five hours of operational time, so I think it is a necessity. The laptop also heated up from the bottom quite heavily, although I set the CPU power to quite minimum (SpeedSwitchXP).

Connectivity could be better. Although there is Bluetooth, which can be used for instance remote connectiong via mobile phone, it lacks a PCMCIA slot, but instead has a CF card slot. WLAN and Ethernet are both there, so that side is ok.

I will see if I can get one of these to be used at work, and if so, I will ask for bigger battery, and 1GB of RAM (it currently has 512MB). With those, I think this laptop is very nice and useful piece of equipment!

Testing minimail

I wonder if this works...

Meeting old friends from IWebS

As heading for my valuable cup of coffee, I ran into my friend from the IWebS (see webpage) project, Mikko Apiola. After completed his MSc, his now continuing with post-graduate studies. Way to go! So, I think our roads cross more often in the future!

Semantic Matching presentation at University of Helsinki

I gave a presentation at University of Helsinki about Semantic Matching. You can find the presentation here.

Testing html tags

Hmm, how would this link show up on
the blog post?

How about blogging by email...?

... and what would be more fun than to comment your own posts... ;-)

The initial thoughts...

Well, here we are, finally doing the thing I've wanted to do for a long time--to create a blog of my own. I'm still not quite sure if I'm gonna like doing this, and well, if anyone is gonna like reading my posts, but at least I will give it a try...

What I really like to do with this blog is to share experiences for instance doing things with computers, testing cool stuff, and so on. What would be really cool is to have the blog items sent using my Communicator and the email client on it. Well, let's see how this would work out.
