The Novatel Mifi 2352 Wireless 3G/Wifi Hotspot

Blog Post Written On: 21.08.2009

I think its fair to say that i am in the minority when it comes to mobile phones. I dont have one and i dont want one. Weird? Probably, but thats just me, plus i save quite a bit of money per month this way compared to people i know with mobile phones.

One thing i do miss though is a 3G mobile broadband internet connection using something like an iPhone.

When i first heard about the Novatel Mifi 2352, i knew straight away that this would solve this problem for me.

This was my first ever “Netbook”, and i always knew that Netbooks were low powered compared to “Laptops”, and especially machines like my Macbook Pro. But the main reason i wanted a netbook, was to have 3G internet access on the move.

In January (2009) i had heard about “Jolicloud” on techcrunch.com. Jolicloud is a Linux based operating system aimed directly at Netbooks, and this really interested me.

All i wanted was a machine that allowed me to check emails, and access certain websites like twitter.com and so on. continue reading »

Blog Post Written On: 18.07.2009

Like millions of people around the world today i use popular software programs like iTunes, Photoshop, Firefox and Microsoft Word on a daily basis. But its weird to think back to when i first went online in 1998 with Freeserve when my software habits were very different.

Back then i still had a selection of software programs that i used on a daily basis, but 11 years on i use none of them now and haven’t done for years.

Below you will see 5 programs that i used on a daily basis, but now haven’t used at all for years. continue reading »
