Nokia S60 Calendar + Google Calendar = WIN!

A much ignored feature of my cellphone suddenly became vital as I started my work/college life a month ago. First thing I looked for was a way to sync the cellphone calendar with an online service (no Outlook or any desktop application, that’d defeat the purpose of portability). First thing I thought of was Google Calendar, and also checked out the OVI service. Ended up choosing the Google interface over OVI, but the problem was Google was not offering a syncing solution for S60.

After trying a rather expensive program in its demo format, I ended up going for a free solution that does a decent work, except that it only syncs within the span of a month (the paid version syncs up to a year).

Didn’t bother mentioning names because the point of this post was to actually mention that Google came through and started development on a syncing tool for S60 calendar.

As I read the comments on the blog, this seems to be a beta in all the sense of the word. Still buggy, so I’m not gonna try it myself yet, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on news about this and snatch a copy as soon as a stable version comes out.

Well, I had to join the fad sooner or later… A twitter account has been created.

And with widget and all, as you can see on the far right ————>

Minami-ke Okaeri

The series has been out for several weeks now. It still delivers lulz and, as we heard before it came out, it has different animation style compared with first season and okawari. I wouldn’t call it worse, but different, as it works as far as identifying who’s who. You’re welcome to give it a try, provided you didn’t think ill of Okawari, otherwise you might want to skip this. I consider 2nd and 3rd season to be “for Minam-ke fans only”. Currently being subbed by Ayako and Chihiro.

Rest in Piece Fast Dial

Some of you may have seen me recommending the Fast Dial Firefox Extension back in the day. Well, today I regret to inform that the Fast Dial I once knew is now gone. The author seems to have turned to the dark side and turned what once was a nifty extension into a near IE-toolbar-style browser hijacker. I had the misfortune to upgrade and see my speed dials rearranged to give way to some sponsor dials, a search box at the top of the new tab page, and, get this, an (unrequested) added engine in the search engine list.

Next thing I’m doing after posting this is remove this add-on and restore an earlier version of it from my usb firefox profile (which has an earlier version from when the add-on was still clean). Only while I set up a better solution, that is. To see a working app turn into crap is not uncommon, but this is one of the rare time when I actually gave a damn about the app enough to say something about it.

So bottom line, if you have version 2.11, this is as good as the add-on is going to get, so do not upgrade it ever again.

Lulfeed 2.0 and beyond

Lulfeed 2.0 was released about a week ago. Wish I would have added more features to it, but I got impatient and released it as soon as the voting system was ready Now I’m working on a sub version with all the pending planned features so it can truly be called a v2. Look forward to it

Soul Eater OP2 (1% better rip)

The promised time has come. Soul Eater 31 came with a new OP sequence and, as the rumors said, with the epic Tommy Heavenly6 song Paper Moon, which we first heard on episode 28.

Great animation, but Resonance will still be missed.

The full single isn’t out yet, but you can grab a tv rip from gendou.

edit : Had to try it at work along with some other files to realize volume was way low XD. I made my own rip now, from AAC audio, normalized and cleaner at the beginning and end of track. Take this one or gendou’s
