Certificates
I’ve had more than a handful of woes with ssl certificates. At least I am not the only one, even large and expensive websites will generate a certificate warning. Here’s one workaround:
Which essentially warns users about the upcoming problem. My guess is that this won’t deter 99,99% of all users of clicking the warning away. As did I when ordering a brand spanking new mountainbike.
Mail and the N70
I’m still on my Nokia N70 which I got early last year. It’s not a bad phone, but there are a few things that do bother me. One, my sideburns get stuck between the buttons. Two, whatever popmail account I set up, it checks regularly at intervals…for starters. Then it just stops doing that. No idea why. Finally, it’s UMTS, for which I’ve got a nice data package from e-plus. Thing is, either there’s zero coverage or the N70 isn’t too fond of 3G. And when there is a signal where I hook up, it invariably starts fading away.
There’s no such thing as a perfect phone.
Balanced
When things go manic, its easy to lose focus on the little things that can keep one in balance. For instance, being permanently locked away in a room in front of a PC monitor isn’t exactly helpful to maintain mental balance.
Munich has a neat trick to offer, and that’s a bike ride to a Biergarten, preferably through the Englischer Garten, to meet old colleagues and enjoy good food. Easy and simple, yet effective.
