May 26, 2010 By

Tried to unlock a BlackBerry 8900 using their service (their website is http://www.foneszone.co.uk and it’s a SCAM) but I found out it’s a trick. I have entered their website, selected the phone and model, inserted the correct IMEI code and payed trough PayPal about 20 Pounds.

Offshore helicopter flight / the rotor story

November 10, 2009 By

Oh what a day !

October 28, 2009 By

acapulco_eforie_constantaI really love this photo. I just don’t know why but it’s cool enough to make me happy. Waiting for my lunch to show up after I’ll prepare my Lavazza espresso. It’s just an ordinary day …. by the way just got Snow Leopard installed 4 days ago ! No big differences from it’s younger brother but I have noticed a speed increase and I’m a really big fan of 64 bit applications.
