Red Mist

As I was uploading my previous post I noticed that my photos, taken with my Nokia N73, had a bit of a red mist on the right hand side. Could this just be a dirty lens or is this a problem with the phone/chip?

Ian & Olwyn's Wedding

It has been a while since my last entry but what better way to return than with news of a wedding! Yip, on Saturday I had the pleasure of being a guest at the wedding of Ian McKinney and Olwyn Dowling. It was a great day with the couple adding their own special flavour to the proceedings.

Check out the sparklers! They handed one out to everyone. Then, in a scene that probably wouldn't have seemed out of place at Glastonbury (going on at the same time) we lit them in a circle and kind of danced around.




It looked fantastic and after a few minutes it wasn't just the emotion of it all that was choking! But the smoke made Lisanoor Castle look and feel very mysterious but was as spectacular as you could get without a full blown fireworks display.

Anyway, I had fun and I hope everyone else did too. It was great catching up with a few ex-Edinburgh Campers. Of course, now they have all grown up, and done a good job of it I might add!

In one of the quieter moments, which were pretty few, I messed around with the disposable camera they had left on the tables in a way only I could. See what I mean.

Google to Go!

I just set up my N73 so I can get my Google Mail on the go. While the downloadable gmail application (go to http://googlemail.com/app with your phone's browser) looks and works pretty well I decided to try and use the N73s own email client. Using the settings for 'other' devices as advised by Google, and making sure that my Google Mail settings were such that they allowed POP, it wasn't long before I got it working.

A point to note though. If you allow POP for all mail and then connect using your phone you may well find that all your old email, even the archived ones, are then downloaded to your phone. Probably best to set the POP bit up for new mail only or just ask your phone to retrieve only new mail.

So send me an email so I can pick it up on my phone!
