Technophiles only - I'm impressed...

OK, like the subject says... this thread is for technophiles only! I was messing about with my phone/BT/PCs yesterday, and I finally got everything set up to my satisfaction. As it was the first time I had the full functionality of BT, and all of the latest programs to mess about with, I had reason to be impressed...

I was sitting on my bed, playing songs on my PC by the power vested in me by Bemused... I then wanted to check my mail, so I connected my phone to the web, via my ADSL connection on my PC. Yeah, I could have done it on my PC, but I had some files that I wanted to view on my phone. A little later, I get a multi media message from my friend, with a picture of the front seat of his car, and a short clip of Limp Bizkit saying "keep rolling, rolling, rolling!" I take this to mean he's asking if I want to go for a drive around for a while, which I do. So, we're cruising around, and I get a text from another friend in Oz who I happen to be coding some web pages for... he's told me that the database structure for the web site has been posted on the test page... can I take a look? So, I go back to my house, and go to download. Meanwhile, me and my friend have been asked to join a little gathering of friends... we've got to leave now, but I <b>have</b> to get this structure downloaded, edit my pages, and send it back. So what do I do? Grab my laptop, and jump back in the car. I would use the WAP browser on my phone to access this page to check out the DB structure, edit the pages on my laptop, BT them over to the phone, then email. But I thought I'd do it the funkier way... I connected to the web via the 7650, then to my laptop via BT, and BAM... we're going down the motorway at about 60, and I'm sitting in the back with my feet up, surfing the web. This means I can publish my freshly-coded web pages straight from Interdev, cutting the time needed to upload pages to the minimum.

This is an over-the-top example of technologies becoming truly merged with other, newew technologies. I know you're all probably going to think I'm a sad techno-freak, but I wanted to share this with you, in the hope that at least one person will reply with "yeah man, i had this set-up, isn't it cool?" or something similar!

Much respect to Ashley (mental_blank?) for Bemused... in the world of home-grown Symbian programs, you da man baby!

It doesn't make you a freak - it makes you a person who uses technology the way it was intended.

JyriK 28 Nov 2002, 14:03

That is exactly the same im doing with it... it is bliss to be able to work
everywhere. in my local pub for example : ) with a pint. and a cigarette 😃
so good.

TheSpecialBoy 28 Nov 2002, 14:08

Real Cool NJOY-ing latest technology.

Keep it up.

Like TANKERx said, U are just using the thechnology for the purposed way.

Nice story, in fact since we waffle, why not to post here some X-emples of what we are doing day by day with SYMBIAN Technology?

Yeah... then in a year or two people can sit and laugh at us...

"Haha, remember when people actually had to have their phones <b>within 10 meters</b> of their computers! And even then they couldn't get the 10MB/sec GPRS we have today... losers!"

Ahhhhh!! the sweet smell of fresh new technology!

Since were addicted to keep up, make sure your credit card is ready to take the heat, (or get a dozen stolen online credit cards :P )

It'll never stop, new technology will keep: "Rollin Rollin Rollin Rollin!!!"

Dazler 28 Nov 2002, 17:38

I type,listen to music, check emails even chat some in the train. You've got the technology use it 😊
Nothing more anoying to see people with expensive stuff and don't even know how half of it works 😉

I do think you are a freak ... who else uses: [quote="spikeymike"]Interdev[/quote]

😉😉😉
Only joking, just find it a very irritating and limited piece of software (maybe because of the microsoft logo? 😉 )

Yeah... it does suck for absolutely everything other than writing pure ASP... try and give it some HTML and it will absdolutely massacre it! The only thing I like is the way it copies the VB IDE and fills in the rest of the object/method/property name for you... saves me so much time compared to notepad! 😃

Hehe I know what you mean 😊 That's something I love with VB (autocompletion) 😉

I think dreamweaver could do this as well ...

But you're right, if you use asp, then there is nothing better to use than a microsoft product 😊

BTW tried the asp.net? It was nice to see asp.net working with vb.net classes and stuff 😊

naivri 02 Dec 2002, 17:24

techo examples?

last night i was surfing the net reading football scores and game reviews in the bath using bluetooth connection to the net

at the same time i was using bemused (best app ever, id buy it if it wasnt freeware) to pick the songs i was listening to.

during the european football night, i logged into irc from the phone to check up on the scores as i was out for dinner with some mates

all i need now is a remot desktop application so i can take control of my pc while out and about to see how my downloads are going! it was developed for 9210, its only a matter of time

seanmiquel...

Sorry, that was a joke! I forgot how difficult it is to convey a joke-y tone of voice in a forum... and I forgot to say 😉

Sorry for any offense caused, I hope most people realised I was being sarcastic!
