Happiness
When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life.

Ukelele - Changing your OSX Keyboard lay-out made easy
Say you have a dead key on your Macbook keyboard or some keys you rareley use and want to swap for another key. I searched for an easy way to do this and stumbled upon Ukelele. Without it, you have to change your keyboard lay-out by messing around with some XML files.
Instead of doing that, you can now throw around with the keys using an easy to use GUI and nice user manual included in the download. Besides all the functional good stuff, it’s free! Click here to go to the developers page.
Favourite symbian s60v3 / Nokia E71 applications
So here goes, my favourite and most used apps on the symbian s60v3 platform.
1. Gravity
Hands down the best native twitter app for my nokia. It costs like a euro of 8 but it’s well worth the effort. twitpicking, searching, trends, it’s all in there. Try it out at www.mobileways.de
2. Opera Mini
Tiny, fast and compatible, just 3 things a mobile browser should be. The home screen shows you all your bookmarks in a single view.
3. Mobitubia
For checking out stuff at youtube. I find the official youtube app too be a little sluggish and doesn’t play all the videos right.
4. Putty for symbian
The title says it all, irssi, centerim, bash terminal on your favourite server within reach. Has profiles for various connections. Seriously, who doesn’t love irc-ing from the toilet :p?
5. Wordmobi
The app from where I write this post. Previous versions lacked the function to save a post as draft but in the latest version it’s all there. Just awesome.
If you think a made a serious mistake leaving out some apps, don’t hesitate to tell me in the comments section below!

Letterbox
I like mail.app. Really. There is only 1 thing that always used to bother me, and that’s the option of having the preview window on the right being absent. Well, here it is. Letterbox. Works awesome 
Porcupine Tree @ 013 Tilburg Concert Review
Few, that was quite some experience right there. After listening to a lot Porcupine Tree for the past months / years, and even seeing them back at the Pinkpop Festival, it was now time to attend the concert they where giving away in Tilburg, which was set for a DVD recording. It was known they we’re “diving into the catalog” for this one, so I really didn’t know what to expect. The only thing I did know that it wasn’t going to be anything like their previous DVD.
Stage Setup
The setup of the stage was really good, with a big screen behind the band, and a screen at both sides of the stage. They started of with playing the whole “Fear of a Blank Planet” album, which was really nice. Highlights of this first bit of the concert where “Anesthetise” (which was accompanied by lovely strobe lighteffects at the heavy parts) and the visual effects presented on screen, with the “Way out of here” video being absolutely top notch.
After this first bit, the band took a 5 minute break, to come back with something that was anything but ordinary.
Stevens Space guitar
The second bit of the set was made out of old songs of the band, which weren’t that familiar to me. Nevertheless, this bit also was very great, making me want to listen to “Stars die, the delerium years” even more. Highlights for me at this point where “Normal”, “Stars die”, “Open Car”, “Wedding Nails” and “Blackest Eyes”. Something very cool to mention as well was the “Space guitar” Steven used during Half-light, which gave the song an extra dimension. At the base of the guitar, a moving space-kinda-thing was to be seen, very nice!
Albums and LP
After that they came back for an encore, which consisted of “Sleep of no Dreaming” and Halo. The latter was also presented with a very nice vid, which is to be seen here:
After the concert I bought a LP of “The sky moves sideways”, which I’m going to use for some decorational purposes. It can be seen on the left.
The rest of my pictures can be seen here.
