This is the first time that I’m blogging and I’m not in front on my desktop PC (which rarely happens). I’m currently in Laguna right now (Calamba, Laguna to be specific) on a yearly summer family reunion. For readers not familiar with it, Laguna is a province located southeast of Metro Manila.

I’m using Smart’s 3G connection through my Nokia N95 connected to my laptop. Download speed is pretty decent at 384kbps though I can’t get a good VOIP call. It’s understandable since latency problem is common on a wireless connection and can be a big hindrance to VOIP and data streaming.

I just found out when Nokia’s PC Suite notified me with an update of their software. Nokia made the new firmware available couple of weeks ago and is only available for the European and Asian version of the N95.

The new Nokia N95 firmware update version 21.0.016 is ready to download (around 118mb) and install with Nokia Software Update utility. You can also visit the nearest Nokia Service center to request for an upgrade if you’re not comfortable on updating your phone on your own.

Overall, 730,000 units were sold worldwide and majority is in the US which 300,000 of those are Xbox 360 HD DVD drives. Microsoft’s PR Team already sent out a statement regarding these developments and the rumors about an Xbox 360 Blu-ray add on.

Finally! After weeks of editing scripts and some minor server problems, my website is now online. Though the site still needs a lot of work, it will be updated when time permits.

I would like to thank Carlo for providing me an account and Poell for helping me out with my domain problem and wordpress inquiries.

It’s now 1:00 AM and I still need to report for work tomorrow. Time for me to sleep.
