by kai 16/07/2010

Well, it’s technically not a new desk, but rather a new desk/workstation layout. Thomas from World Sweet World, a friend of mine, is very talented when it comes to crafts, working with wood, renovating and building furniture and so much more. About three years ago, I saw an awesome laptop stand for his MacBook Pro in his office and I wanted one. As it usually happens – he didn’t have the time to make me one at the time, we forgot about it etc. 🙂

How to fix arbitrary error when mounting Windows drives via Samba in OSX

by kai 14/07/2010

Sometimes though unmounting the share/drive in Finder leads to a weird scenario that it unmounts fine but when I try again to mount the same or a different drive via Samba, I get a totally arbitrary error message saying nothing but “please check the IP address, bla bla bla”.

Google Nexus One: Why there’s no Froyo (Android 2.2) for the European Vodafone version (EPF30) yet.

by kai 01/07/2010

When I was living in Germany (back in the days) – Vodafone Germany used to be the most annoying mobile services provider ever. They basically took any phone they were selling, disassembled the firmware and the OS and rebranded the whole bloody device with their Vodafone corporate red, Vodafone live! and all sorts of other sh*t (yes, I mean it exactly this way).
