No Life without iPhone

It’s difficult to fully embrace this iPhone after over a month of use, but can’t imagine the life without it.

It forced me to do the restore last night, erasing all my notes data. Good news is that that, and trivial SMS messages, is all I lost… But I lost it big. Notes contained everything I scribbled in the last 7 months or so, dating back when I was using iPod Touch. I don’t feel stressed or anything by typing words using the built in keyboard (I’m writing this entry using the iPhone app), so i’ve been typing a lot. Any ideas that came to my mind, and some expense data. They are all gone, maybe because the backup I tried to restore was corrupt… (the whole reason I tried to restore the phone was because the backup never finished last night, and I tried it many times)

Now, what can I do? Cry for the lost love? No, just live with it. I now know what to do with my important data (do the backup of my own, and not rely on the iTunes backup). To do that, email myself the notes every once in a while, or use Evernote for the online editor (though I prefer the offline one). Learn the lesson and keep loving my iPhone!

P.S. The backup is much faster and I feel like living again!

I think I like cooking!

Night after night, I’ve been cooking by myself for nearly 4 months now. It had been a while since I prepared myself for food, maybe 5-6 years. Actually, I used to live in SF for 3 years where I was all alone, where I prepared myself for food, but it really had been a long time since.

But, once started cooking, I wanted to be creative again and cook as I like, without referring to a cook book or two. It might not be a good sign at all, but I’m satisfied with the outcomes overall.

This is pasta, as obvious, but I made it cold. It was meant to be served cold… The taste? …I guess I’m used to eat it hot

What’s good about iPhone

I used to own iPod Touch which is similar in terms of appearance & functionality, so didn’t expect any joy to come out of me.

Well, I was wrong…

The connectivity to the net, being online, is what it’s all about. Whatever you do, you need to be connected to the net. Safari, Mail, App Store… Name a few. Even this WordPress requires you to be connected (if you want to publish blogs, that is). Being online is all that is, and I can’t think of the life with no connection to the net from now on.

What I’m afraid of right now is, “what can I do with my iPhone when I’m overseas?” Dreadfully, though, I will be out of the reach from the net… unless finding a hotel with free WiFi, or doing the international data roaming that would cost me a million. No matter what, the trip would turn soar without “always on” connectivity..

One good thing, though, is that some applications allow offline works, like this WordPress which allows me to write my stuff offline, even on the airplane (if you have enough battery for that). That’s definitely a good news, and what I need to find is the free WiFi to publish my stuff along the way. Shouldn’t be difficult (I hope…)

The beginning

OK, this is the first. Let’s see what happens.

I’m starting out with WordPress now, as I got iPhone 3G where I would like to express my emotions & thoughts. Currently I’m setting the base ground to work on, so it might take some time before I could seriously start with bloggin’. But I will… hopefully soon.

It’s way after midnight in my timezone, and I gotta turn in. Not a bad beginning (I hope?).
