My new old-cameraMijn nieuwe oude camera

Posted on November 1st, 2007

Besides a 50mm lens I also managed to buy an old Nikon F601 camera on Marktplaats. I still have to buy some film for it before I can start playing around with it. Anyone have any suggestions of what film to buy?


Naast een 50mm lens heb ik oon een oude Nikon film camera gekocht op Marktplaats. Ik moet nog ff een film rolletje er in kopen maar dat komt nog wel. Iemand enige suggesties welke rolletjes en welke iso handig is om een keer mee te beginnen?

I ordered some new glasses today. They won’t be done until 2 weeks but I managed to grab a snap of the frame. I hope to pick them up when we are back from Berlin.

My Free Nokia N95

Posted on April 21st, 2007

jaiku.gifI won the Nokia N95 in the Jaiku Survey 3000. Jaiku held a survey with which you could win a Nokia N95, and they kept their lottery publicly in their support channel (#jaiku). Funny enough they let any Jaiku member present pick a number between 1 and 555, after which they revealed the corresponding email address. I was the first one to respond with the number 29. Obviously the number was not attached to my email, but the second Nokia N95 was awarded to me for being the first one to call out a number.

n95_low_nowplaying_02-thumb.jpgTogether with my free FON router it really feels like it’s Christmas. Everyone around me (especially Alper) has been talking about the N95 for weeks and now I am the one to have one. So soon you can expect video blogging, photo blogging and a full N95 review on this site. I don’t even know what to expect but GPS and WIFI sound really cool. Does anyone know if this phone can solve my Flickr GPS issue?

Thank you very much Jaiku!

Geotagging on Flickr Help Needed

Posted on April 21st, 2007

I really enjoy my new Nikon D40 and as some of you might know I even like to provide all my photos on Flickr with tags, names, sometimes descriptions, and most of the time Geo Tags. But as I keep shooting more photos, keeping track of where I shot them is beginning to become difficult.

So I know that there are small bluetooth GPS devices that can keep track of your location and then later on match the photos with the proper GeoTags. There are many examples online about how to use these GPS devices and most of them are very broad, for me too broad.

Basically all I need is a GPS unit that keeps track of my location throughout a day. It needs to work with a Mac, and if possible the software better have some nice integration with Flickr. Anyone have any experience with this that could help me?

Free La Fonera Router

Posted on April 13th, 2007

I got a nice email today from Fon, giving me the option to order their La Fonera router for free. About a year ago I ordered their original Linksys router for about 10 euro, but I kind of broke it directly. As a thank you for being one of their first clients I now get a free new La Fonera router (worth about 45 euro/dollar).

I still think Fon is not very viable concept because of the simple fact that most people with a Fon router do not live in interesting places, but at least I can now use my Fon account again if necessary.
