i thought about a little who is who post here .. i know some of you, but i don't know most of you ..
so please tell us something about you .. who are you? what are you doing? Blog/Forums? i am Michael aka BeerBong, NOKIAN Blog and Symbian-Freak Forums ..
Hi my name is Mitko and i am very big fan of Nokia and author of the first Macedonian web portal about mobile phones and technology (www.telefoni.com.mk). I love gadgets,techhnology and going out drinking "coffee" :)) Oh and i`m jaikuholic too.
yeah i think i'm now a jaikuholic too :D ..
BTW i'm 23 and from Austria, my Blog was supposed to be a little Competition to s60.at, but i got so many contacts which doesn't understand german (like all symbian freak guys etc) .. first i had my blog both german and english, i've written every post twice, cause all translating tools weren't good enough - but i kicked the german part away and stuck to the english one and it turned out to be a good decision..
i see the Jaikuholics thing is catching on. I'm Carol aka cybette, more of a lurker/reader than a blogger (but definitely a jaikuer). sw engr @ nokia. just turned 32 years OLD and moving to Finland which i guess will be my 4th home so far in my life... (i always have a hard time answering the qn "where are you from?")
Hehe, true. I have two screens on this computer, so hopefully that's enough. As long as Firefox 3.0 works. This recent nightly build seems to crash every once in a while :|
@gonzague if i had the means i would! personally i have an N95 proto that has the battery back taped on and the cover to the SD slot has fallen off so.... (but i'll be getting a new toy soon! can't wait!)
@spilpol : one more reason to get us some Nokia :-) what are you up to @ Nokia
@gonzague I knew it. What a shame for the proto. I have a E90, not proto but it's a bit big for my pockets :-P I won't be able to carry it around for parties ^^
I'm happy enough with my E90 and the rest of my phones. I'm thinking of moving to Ireland without taking a laptop with me. Just the E90, N800 and the trusty 6310i as a backup phone :)
I'm Ed, and merlyn dragged me into this Jaiku thing. Like Cybette, I have a hard time saying where I'm "from" since I grew up both in the Washington DC area and in Germany (pretty much in alternate years). Now I'm in Southern California (just north of Mexico) and I love it!
@cybette: you are so loyal to symbicra... I mean your current favourite dev.platform ;) just wondering, would you like to hold after-N800 proto e.g. WiMax one? ;)
Yep. I just hate carrying the laptop around. I'd rather cripple myself with features and try to survive with something smaller and more portable. Also, I'm getting a 4GB MicroSDHC for the E90 next week. I do need the storage space for music and such. Still thinking if I need to get a 8GB SDHC for the N800 or not :)
Pirita from Lapland, Finland but nowadays live in Helsinki (just moved back from the UK). Not a blogger but definitely a jaikuholic...and a former habboholic, irc-a-holic etc. I work at Nokia M&A <3
Who said beer? Me likes and drinks it atm! :)
Wow at the amount of jaikuholics, nice to see that I'm not the only one..
Maybe I should describe myself a bit better while I'm at it.
I'm 32 from Finland and I don't blog but my occasional rants can be found at http://r200.vox.com :)
Identity: I used to blog at Ring Nokia, then when the opportunity presented itself to get paid for blogging I sold my brand and bought a one way ticket to Finland.
Goal: To work for Nokia as the liaison between the 60+ thousand (100+ thousand after you count NSN) employees and you, the really enthusiastic users.
Previous jobs: deli, contract IT work, research and development at a boutique gaming pc company in NY.
Currently job: writing for intomobile.com
Hobbies: surfing the internet, hanging out with friends, telling offensive jokes, laughing constantly
My name is John and looks like I beat out cybette as the oldest since I'm 34. I'm not a blogger but I wish I was the Symbian-guru since he gets all the toys :) I'm addicted to Jaiku but seriously, what else is there to do in Wisconsin?
I'm Jonathan Greene from atmasphere.net/wp and maemoapps.com. I won't go as far to say I'm a jaikuholic, but I do compulsively participate. You can find me as atmasphere pretty much anywhere... Been spending my social networking time here, on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn (lightly in the answers area) ... pics on Flickr and videos on Viddler and Youtube. All of this stuff (and a few more) flows nicely into my Jaiku stream.
33, married with two kids and living in Katonah, NY which is a northern suburb of NYC.
I'm 39 turning 40 in November. Hehe.. I'm Andreas or Andy as we say in Australia. Born and bred in Germany, travelled the world, settled down and became an Australian Citizen. I've been a resident of Perth/Western Australia for nearly 8 years now, the longest time I have ever stayed in one place.
I'm a nurse by trade (free agent, basically self-employed), but spend most of my time as an investor, trading the FX market and dreaming up new ideas and concepts. Been a Mac user for 13 years and have become a mobile phone user and lover since I got into S60. I had barely used my mobile phone before that.
Been around in the industry for a year working for Refresh Mobile (makers of Mobizines, Eyemags and Mippin) - off to go and work for Spinvox next month - w00t!
I'm Whatleydude pretty much everywhere online but my main blog currently is:
