Case study by Nokia - Mobile device management in the Finnish Parliament

One thing that I couldn't just write about...

Recently released document by Nokia the world's leading mobile device manufacturer case study shows that Fromdistance MDM helps to make device administration easier safer and more efficient.

Quote from the study:

Combined with BLC Wireless hosting, the Fromdistance MDM suite
provides an all-inclusive device management solution that can be
modified to suit the customer’s specific needs. Help Desk can
operate conveniently from a single point of remote administration,
taking care of necessary configurations, various security measures
and software installations and updates.

If an individual device needs replacement or maintenance, a
new one can be easily set up to meet the identical specifications.
The security features make it possible to lock a lost mobile device.
This can be done while deleting all the saved data so an
unauthorised person cannot make use of it.

The end users enjoy a greater level of satisfaction when installation
and support services, such as data backup, can be carried out
without their direct involvement.

First photosession - Natalia

This was my first photo session during EFK 2009 event I have previously wrote about.
The model name is Natalia, She is not a professional model, still very beautiful girl , that does few photo sessions from time to time.

It was interesting for Me because I haven't made a photos for a single person that way. But there is always a first time for everything. Here are my results:

Diablo II patch v 1.13 and ladder reset - Update 5

Finally after an almost a month of silence the Blizzard has gave us an update, unfortunately nothing spectacular yet :(

Update - 9/30

The Diablo II 1.13 patch is on temporary hold while we investigate potential impact on the Battle.net service. As we moved closer to launching the patch concerns grew that an increase in the player stash size (a feature in the patch) could compromise the Diablo II Battle.net service. The hardware and configuration could potentially not handle the increased stash size gracefully under heavy load. Currently we’re investigating potential impact as it is one of the larger content features in the patch and we’re hoping it can remain a part of the release. If it does have to be removed it will require additional time to remove it, generate new patches, and test, which will add time before we can go live on the PTR.

We’re hoping to have our diagnostics and a final decision on how we’ll be moving forward decided by early next week and we’ll have an update for you at that time.

So the good news is that they finally gave a correct deadline when they would give us new update - "early next week" . So let's keep waiting and hopefully we would have it working on the test servers "soon" :)

EFK 2009

This is my second year when I visit Photographers gathering event.

Every year many Estonian photographers gather to meet to tell stories, exchange experience and to just have a fun time. The event is called "Eesti fotograafide kokkutulek"



EFK 2009

This year the event was at beautiful lands of Southern Estonia, the place is called Vastselinna. The event lasted 2,5 days. Many well known photographers showed their galleries and made lectures for different topics.

I took plenty of photos during this weekend. Presenting you some of my best ones:

Diablo II patch v 1.13 and ladder reset - Update 4

Blizzard has finally updated us with information.

Looks like the work on Diablo patch was halted (so the guys could fix a high priority issue with Warcraft 3) But now after it was fixed, the work on Diablo II patch is restarted. As Bashiok writes, the Test Realm could be up and running "soon". Well you cannot take this "soon" very seriously, but who knows :)

Here is the full post

date for the patch yet, but we’re providing early warning as a reset could occur as early as the end of April. We’ll be providing updates with more certain dates once the patch is closer to release.

Please be aware that with a ladder reset all ladder characters are moved to non-ladder. This means that your characters will still be accessible but will no longer have access to ladder-only features and games. In order to play in the new ladder season after the reset you will need to make new ladder characters.

This thread will be updated with more information as it becomes available.

Update - 7/20

As stated in the "Myth" thread (http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=18031060417&sid=3000) we're still working toward releasing the Warcraft III patch currently in testing on our Westfall Public Test Realm. Testing is looking good on the Warcraft III patch though and once it's released focus will go to the Diablo II 1.13 patch.

The 1.13 patch is very far along so it should only be a limited amount of testing before it hits the Westfall PTR. Still, any number of issues could delay a release so any dates or estimates for release won't be made available.

A forum is now available for discussing the PTR and patch and will continue to be available for posting feedback and bug reports once the patch actually goes live. This is to ideally keep the other Diablo II forums dedicated to current game discussion. Any threads discussing the 1.13 patch/PTR/etc. will be moved to the Test Realm forum, or deleted.

Update - 8/5

The Warcraft III patch has been released but in order to resolve some persistent issues work is not yet moving to the Diablo II patch. Again this involves some very high priority issues that need to be resolved before work can continue on D2 1.13

We'll keep you updated as work progresses.

Update - 9/2

Work commences on patch 1.13. We won't be providing any information on when the patch will be available, except that we expect the PTR to be available "soon". We will provide some amount of warning very, very shortly before the PTRs become available. Please keep in mind that any number of factors could delay the start of the PTR and ultimate release of the patch. Thanks for being patient, we're getting close now.

Update 5

The world's fastest browser has become even faster

Opera 10 was released a few days ago.




I have been Opera user from my early Internet days, I have been using it ever since. It was the fastes and least demanding browser for System Resources I have ever used.

To my surprise Opera 10 has become even faster, and even less demanding for System Resources. It is even much more stable then ever ! This is my subjective opinion but for example Opera 9 was crashing almost every day, but Opera 10 didn't crash even once.

So I highly recommend everyone getting new Opera 10, it is fast, stable and safe!

Trip to Berlin, photos

As always I am really busy right now, but I have a few minutes, so I can show you some of my photos that I have taken during trip to Berlin last year:

Sony Center at the center of Berlin, state of the art technology:






Very impressive place, I have also went to 3D movie theater it was impressive.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe:





The famous Brandenburgen gate "Brandenburger Tor" near by:



Everything that remains of Berlin wall today, just a path composed of bricks, so you can follow it if you like.



Not only people are very friendly, the birds are too :)





If you visit Berlin, make sure you visit the TV tower also, so you can check an awesome view of the city:







Madame Tussauds is also an interesting thing to check, recommended :)



Anyway I liked the trip, the city is clean easy to navigate, you don't even need a map most of the time.
