Migrating stuff from Nokia phones to other Nokia or non-Nokia phones is rather trivial, thanks to the myriad of ways to either send or export content using Nokia’s PC Suite software available on Nokia’s website. But PC Suite doesn’t allow you to transfer your notes, of which I had some 500 since I acquired the […]

The Nokia N95 is dead. Long Live the Google Nexus S!
Today at around 2 p.m. the SIM card on my cellphone was cut-off from the rest of the world as I’ll be changing from Telenor to Ludo Mobil cellphone subscription. The latter use the former’s cell network (except in densely populated areas) but is a LOT cheaper so I’ll be getting the best of both […]
Firefox 4 is out!
Quite a few people are waiting for the Messiah. And so have we. We have waited, watched and speculated for one and a half year now, and FINALLY! The day has come! I’ve had 4 crashes since the upgrade! W000t! Who’s betting for a 4.1 release by the end of next week? ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! […]
Maxtor OneTouch III USB 2.0 E14H300 disassembly & repurposing
Back in 2005 I bought a couple of Maxtor 320GB external disk drives (E14H300) of the OneTouch III series with USB 2.0 connectors, for those of my clients that wanted to backup large datasets without the delays of the network drives. Maxtor is Seagate now, there’s been a financial crisis, and 320GB is simply not […]

TonidoPlug is a wall-plug PC featuring low power usage, low cost home server services based on a GHz ARM processor. It sports a set of Tonido software that enables the personal cloud branding. You can read more here. I am all […]
Working with PDF Files
The software referenced in this article is either Free or Open Source software and should be available to, at a minimum, both Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems. In Linux, I recommend installing software through your package manager, unless you need the latest and greatest. Most of my information can be found in and was […]
kekepower site down for maintenance
My cousin’s website over at wiki.KekePower.com along with Sigg3.net friendly and approved mirror sigge.kekepower.com is down for hardware maintenance. And will be until otherwise is the matter. As with everything else in this goddang universe. You might feel a small sting, or notice some images missing from selected blog posts. I wouldn’t bother.
Drupal 7 it is
I’ve decided I want to go the full monty and install Drupal 7. "Why?" You ask, "my god, Sigg3, have you lost your mind? Here, have an ice cream while I talk to you, son. Look.. Nobody cares, alright? Whether it be Drupal this or Drupal that. Just install the damn thing. And get yourself […]
Today I wrote: 381 lines of code
Making a newsletter generator for the win32 cmd shell.. That’s right! I spent the better parts of yesterday re-constructing a php/xml website into "local HTML" that Microsoft Outlook could use, exchanging most of the background images, cropping and positioning with carefully crafted HTML tables anno 1998. Apparently MS Outlook can’t be arsed to follow ANY […]
Migrating Sigg3.net to Drupal
Finally, I’ve started on the smallest baby-steps towards migrating the entire Sigg3.net empire to Drupal! And why not? The leader of the American Empire‘s on Drupal as well! You may think Drupal’s a bit over the top for a blog, but you’re only seeing the top of the iceberg. I’m like, seeing, the whole of […]
