E61 and STUN

January 31st, 2007 Comments off

If you have an E61 and upgraded it to latest firmware so you could use VoIP behind firewall. You have discovered that it ain’t so easy as there is no manual setting for firewall traversing. Do not throw your phone at that wall yet!

NAT traversing is only settable by remote provisioning ( you need a server, send some SMS messages and so on ) or…

Using plugins as they call them on www.forum.nokia.com, it is very fortunate that Gizmo VoIP has already produced one. If you use their service it’s perfect for you. If you don’t ,still helps.

Simply go to their website, download plugin, install it to your phone ( I have downloaded it using build in browser in E61 ) and run, it will ask you for your gizmo login detail, put some rubbish, and finish. Then go to your Settings , locate Gizmos SIP Profile and modify it so it will use you prefered  provider details and bang it works :)

enjoy

Brando arrived

January 29th, 2007 Comments off

I have ordered last week a cradle , a crystal case  and ultra clear screen protector from brando. All arrived today, very good quality. Cradle is nice , fits e61 perfect ( pity it requires crystal case to be off  ) , it is heavy, and good looking ( blue led bit too bright … ), I wasn’t expecting it so high quality, especially that you get now crap even from original manufacturers.

I am very happy that it arrived so soon! Brando is the best :)   Got also some stamps for my stamps collecting uncle.

F-Spot

January 29th, 2007 Comments off

Finally got around fixing my f-spot library, had to remove old database and re-import all photos, surprise, surprise all tags were re-read from photo files and that saved my night… actually I would drop that task, if they would not re-appear in f-spot.

Great stuff, maybe some day I will get around to import missing photos and put something on the website.

Outlook and clueless messages

January 29th, 2007 Comments off

I love when software is giving you a message which tells nothing except to contact administrator … and what administrator gets from the msg ? nothing, just a memo to contact himself …  crap.

My solution to :   “Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available. Contact
your administrator if this condition persists.”

Is : Rename||copy PST file and get outlook to point to new location. ( Oh and I also have removed shitty Nokia PC Suite from users machine ).

Oracle XE on Ubuntu

January 28th, 2007 Comments off

Is dead simple …. just remember, if you have used _any_ previous Beta or RPM version. use --purge not --remove when delete previous version… this will save you a lot of time, which I spent wondering why on earth it does not install in full/startup what ever …

Load of changes to my world after I came back from my Xmax/New Years break.

Mainly at work, where I was welcomed with sad news. And since then I was working hard and preparing and preparing…

My Internet connection is patchy at home, the only way to get to the Internet is thru my office or my E61 ( hurray! ).

When I will have some permament connection at home, expect updates…
