and @adonis was right in
his "translation"....... Weäre talking about FF contra IE.....and
there can only be one browser as I see it. FF,. but here @ work we
ionly have stupid old IE6 and I cant do anything about it!
@Cityrat59: Corporate
institutions are different. It's all about security and
compatibility. We still run IE6 because IE7 is not safe, and also
IE6 has been passed as secure enough and most compatible for
use.
When I get stuck with IE6 somewhere, I sneak out my USB, with FF
Portable on (from portableapps.com). Of course, sometimes the IT
dept has anticipated things like that, but as often, not. ;o)
@whatleydude: Hyvvä
illta! So now we're supposed to speak finnish here,
right.....hrmf.......my finnish isn't what it's supposed to be.....
@map: I guess even if you learn
Svenska in school it doesn't mean you speak it, and my guess is
that you don't talk a lot with sweds or Swedish-finnish people
either. But English works good for me, I'm pretty fluent in it!
@cityrat59: I could use
Svenska at work almost daily (writing and speaking) but I'm so lazy
I don't do it as long as I'm not forced to do it :-). So we use
Finnish or English.
@map: so you can
speak/understand it then? And i know about the lazy bit, english
seems more easy to get around with. I use it in contacts with
danishspeaking people, and that's a sad thing because they
understand Swedish perfectly but we lazy Swedes down't always
understand Danish!
I'm nipping out now to finish my shopping - and just so you know
- olen nyt pitän kiinni Englanti, ei ole reilua mun ystäviä,
varsinkin kun haluan pitää kiinnostusta mun Glastonblog.
@cityrat59: My
Scandinavian colleagues are from Norway, Denmark and Malmö, so
speaking with them is... bit... challenging... But weekly I got
mails in Scandinavian languages - and usually answer in English. I
also have finlands-svenska colleague, but it's more important to
him to train his Finnish :-). But yes, I can follow quite many of
those Swedish jaikus.
@map: That's great Minna, btw
would it be possible to met you when I come to Finland in July. I
plan to arrive in Helsiki the 20th of july, I have talked with
carol about meeting her so it would be great to met as many of you
other guys over there too. I hope I will be able to stya in
Helsinki 2 day or maybe three before going north.
@cityrat59: Sure, it'd
be great to meet you! My Sun 20th is booked and I'm still at work
on week 30... (can't promise yet if I can make a trip to Helsinki
in Mon or Tue evening). But if you are traveling to north via
Tampere, you have a good change to meet quite many of us here
:-)!
Sounds like plan. Will get on it. My next MGoL on tour is likely
going to be in San Francisco for the Fall CTIA. But there's no
reason why I couldn't stick one in before! :)
@whatleydude be
ambitious and aim for BOTH MGoHelsinki
and MGoTampere as i think there is likely to be
large numbers of qualifying people in both cites :)
@whatleydude, well
mgol.co.uk is available, you really need a mgotw.com site though
(the world), that's available too, then there's mobilegeeks.co.uk
to be a little more generic.
@dsample - thank you sir,
as 'MGoL' is the unofficial online tag for the group/event - I'll
buy the .co.uk address you recommended as soon as I'm home. Nice
one. Cheers.
@whatleydude -
Digital Craftsmen would be happy to host a website for MGoL - and
maybe contribute some help with design stuff, depending on what's
needed. Come see us when you've finished playing in the mud at
Glasto :)

Aww - Have you tried clicking on it from your phone? VOX should automatically forward you to their mobile version.
Failing that - my friends at Mippin just 'made it mobile' for me! :)

And I was so going to use this as my Glastonbury Tripku thread - but it's kinda got out of hand now...
Thoughts? Keep it here or start over?

@dsample: This is the cahrm of Jaiku, you start a thread in one direction and suddenly it turns 360 degrees in another direction! Perkele!
