Nokia HS-4W review
Before I start this review, I want to say that I really like Nokia’s products. Nokia’s stuff has a kind of overall product integrity that reminds me very much of Apple. All of the Nokia phones I’ve owned have had a very solid feel. Their interface design is solid too. They seem to focus on quality more than flash. Notwithstanding some funky phone designs, they went through a bad start to 2004 and are now in a strong start to 2005.

Installing UIQ on Linux / sdk2unix
I’ve had these notes lying around for a while with the intention of fixing them up and making a proper how to. I never have. Maybe because my whole experience with UIQ was altogether less pleasant than S60 (basically, I just don’t like it). Anyway, here are the notes in the form that I made them, some time in the fall of 2004.

panix.com hijacked
Anyone who’s been around the internet since before the web will know the name Panix well as they were one of the very first ISPs ever. Well, their domain panix.com was hijacked yesterday by means currently unknown (see panix.net ). Check the link for NANOG thread. If this was a cracker attack it indicates a very serious infrastructural problem. If it was an administrative attack it indicates a huge domain administration problem. Either way, anyone who owns a domain should be very worried, and everyone on the internet, because: <ul><li>Panix is going to go out of business if this isn’t fixed ASAP </li><li>All of Panix’s users are having their userIDs and passwords stolen as we speak </li><li>All email to Panix’s users is being intercepted as we speak </li></ul>Panix has a large and sophisticated user base, and those passwords could potentially be used to comprimise a wide range of systems. The obvious solution at the moment is technical - the DNS operators should revert the domain ASAP.

gecybershaft
Susan Crawford blogs Mary Ann Allison’s neologism “gecybershaft”. Germans are horrified . But the transition of your personal society from village, to friends and family, now to your attention and purpose groups is worth looking at. A lot of this is related to what Rheingold was saying 10 years ago with virtual communities.
