Women and / or PDAs
Today was a wonderful day. I managed to get an gmail-account, set it up for my lovely toy (an Dell Axim X50v with 1GB SanDisk CF and 512 MB Toshiba SD...). Then a friend invited me to a country club, which I had never been to before, so I went there after I finished my morning schedule.
I do not why, but there was this urge to play around with the PDA (instead of reading further papers on Schumpeter). So I enabled WLan and I discovered that I could browse the internet. Moreover, even the set up for the Gmail worked fine. And all that at the swimming pool of the Kabira Country Club in Kampala, Uganda!
I was so happy, that I immediately took pictures and sent them to my friends and family! Well the responses were not so happy. In Germany there was snow etc and I was enjoying 30C, sun and blue sky at a wonderful place.
Well, this one could have been more beatiful. But things did not work out as envisaged. But I still have my PDA, which needs a lot of care and attention and a place on the second pillow in my bed - otherwise I would not hear the ring tones in the morning... I am no pervert! ;-)
Interestingly, I found a nice quote one of my favourite internet sites (www.aximsite.com - what else...):
If you love something, let it free.
If it comes back to you it's yours,
if it doesn't it never was!
I do not why, but whenever I like a girl, there is no happy end. It happened twice that I brought stuff from Germany (once only three bags of Gummibärchen and the second time round about 3kg of Milka and Kinder Chocolate) and every time I ended up with just handing over parts of it (does anybody want to have some chocolate, there are 2,5kg left...).
I used to believe in the following: When you like (love) someone, then the only thing you want is their happiness. Even if that person is happier with someone else. But the other statement captures more and I will follow it:
If you love something, let it free.
If it comes back to you it's yours,
if it doesn't it never was!
It is better, it somehow starts before you are hurt. You see, wait and conclude. Having said that, I will conclude this.
If anybody is interested in knowing how you can have your emails von Gmail on your laptop, i.e. Outlook and on your PDA, I could tell. THe secret is, you need two email accounts, because Gmail does not allow IMAP (yet) and Windows Mobile 2003 cannot leave emails on the server.
And if anybody out there could tell me where I might find a library or bookstore with some books by Schumpeter, I would appreciate that and invite you for a beer at Bubbles next Friday.
