In the winter, when darkness seems to dominate, Finns bring out candles that ever so gently brighten up the night. I have seen so many beautiful variations of presenting candles in the snowy night.
We start at 7, so I’m just milling about.
I’m in a Christmas choir of an Anglican parish here in Helsinki. I’m in it for the fun. My friend is one of the conductors and she asked me to come. It’s been fun, since it’s been something like over 15 years since I last sang in a choir.
There’s a new PC Suite version out that some guys I work with say has a few neat improvements, such as a new Bluetooth Wizard. A few techies I know got stuck trying to synch over Bluetooth. I think they had messed with the drivers or had two stack version on one machine. The Wizard seemed to make it easy to configure Bluetooth for PC Suite synching, even with two stacks on one machine.
This version also comes bundled with the cable drivers so you don’t have to install them separately (I think the previous version did, also).
I installed it, and in no time was synching to Outlook over Bluetooth. Then, I disconnected and in no time was connecting to Lifeblog over the USB cable (my preferred method).
Check it out.
This is the technical document that explains how we use Atom to post multimedia content online. Use this document to figure out how to adapt your servers to use Lifeblog 1.5.

I will be putting this document eventually on the Nokia Lifeblog website, under the blogging FAQs. I just missed the big update and will put it up later.
A word of caution: if you are looking for support here, I cannot really give it, but can try to find someone who could – no guarantees, though.
The Nokia Lifeblog site just went live with the newest version – Lifeblog 1.5.
This is the version that uses Atom to post to the web. The first blog service that it works with is Six Apart’s TypePad web logging service (the one I use, here). We’ve worked with Six Apart to get it working nicely. On our side, we’ve made it easy to blog photos, videos (yes!), SMSs, and notes from the phone or PC (and MMSs from the PC). On Six Apart’s side, they created some nifty templates that take all this multimedia and display it all pretty.
It’s so cool (check out my other blog for examples).
In a moment, I’ll post the technical document that describes how we use Atom to post, so that you clever ones can adapt your servers to be compatible with Lifeblog.
Other interesting additions are some usability tweaks, back up feature, and support for the Nokia 66330 (a wicked cool phone). We’re rolling out the languages as we can. The English version is available first, and then the other ones will follow. Go get it. It’s a free upgrade for registered 1.0 users and 29.95 € for new users. The blogging service, obviously, is a separate cost.
Feedback welcome here!
Maybe I should write one about Lifeblog.
