As frankps sees the world!

Today I bought my self an Airport Express accesspoint and connected it to my homecinema system. Setting it up was done in a minute, as Apple has done it as simple as only Apple can do. A friend told me that he wasn’t impressed with the sound quality, I couldn’t disagree with him more. The sound was superb, and now I will have access to the music on my Mac from both the home office and the living room. I can’t understand why I haven’t bought it earlier. And no, I […] Continue reading →

The browser seems to still cost money for embedded devices and phones. Opera also used the opertunity to give their community pages some updates. The blog solution is updated and new is the free photo gallery solution. Funny, as I yesterday decided not to renew my .Mac […] Continue reading →

The Norwgian company Hydro yesterday celebrated their 100 years annoversary with a free concert in the beautiful Frognerparken here in Oslo.

Hydro’s free concert in Frognerparken.  This was a great picknik event. We brought with us food and fruit, and enjoyed ourselves in beautiful sunshine, but […] Continue reading →
