I think I have most of the tweaks worked out of my mobile theme. :crosses finger: I'll improve some stuff on this one, but I need a break from all the blue! There are two versions of this, one with the default icons (Well, most of them anyway. I need to fix a few.) and one with Flahorn's S60 Prototype Icons. Both themes are compatible with S60 v.3 FP2. I'm still figuring this program out, so if something isn't working, please let me know.
Oh! As a side note while I think about it. For some reason when you're using your mobile, Opera makes you download a link to the file, then when you click the link you can download the actual file. It's weird, but it works.
Yesterday while meandering around the web, I came across a really cool (and completely free) program called Carbide.ui. Carbide.ui is a "photoshop" for Symbian S60 and S40 mobile themes. This program allows you to customize over 1,000 different elements for your theme. That's a lot of stuff! The program itself is pretty simple and straightforward to use. I don't know what I was expecting from something like that, but "simple" wasn't quite it.
Hopefully by the end of the month, I can get reasonably decent rendition of the theme that I can release for anyone interested.
I'm just so excited that I can make my own themes though! w00t!
OK, so I'm actually weird enough to take a short video of me kicking grass in a barrow ditch along the highway in front of the office. It's rather amazing to see the amount of pollen falling of the grass though. It reminds me of baby powder, except that it's the wrong color.
I'm a Twitter user. However my little 140 character digital pasttime has hit a bit of a snag. Apparently there is something known as the Twitpocalypse. This excerpt from the Twitpocalypse site best explains it:
The Twitpocalypse is similar to the Y2K
bug. The unique identifier associated to
each tweet has now exceeded
2,147,483,647
For some of your favorite third-party
Twitter services not designed to handle
such a case, the sequence will suddenly
turn into negative numbers. At this
point, they are very likely to
malfunction or crash.
Unfortunately, one of my preferred Twitter apps for my mobile, Tweets60, was affected. Happily, I found another fairly good little app called Twim that works, even though it's not as pretty as Tweets60.
I'm just happy that I have a working Twitter client for now.
OK, I'm going to put an end to my late night mobile ramblings for now. My eyes aren't too happy with me right now and I know I'm not going to want to get up when my alarm goes off. Good night!
In all honesty, I'm more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker. I rather like loose leaf teas more than the standard tea bags you find. The only downside to loose leaf is that it's usually messier and not as convenient to brew- or so I thought. Apparently, I just wasn't looking at the right tea accoutrements. These are what I used to use: (I still use the tea pot, but not as often as I did.) Here's what I've been using lately:
Pretty snazzy, huh? I keep the little green tea infuser at work and use the Adagio tea pot infuser at home. I did get some sample tins of tea with the Adagio teapot too. I'm having a hard time deciding which of the samples that I like the most. They're all pretty tasty, just make sure you don't over brew them. I'm guessing that they use a flavoring for the rhubarb one. I don't see any of the stalk in there and I'm pretty sure the leaves are poisonous. However they do it, it still tastes wonderful. At any rate, that's been the majority of my excitement lately.
