Photography: 1. August 2013

Today I'd like to share a couple of low light photos shot on the Nokia 808 PureView.

Taken this year at the official Swiss national day, the 1. August, in Basel.

I used the creative settings to adjust for the low light scene.
You can take a look at the Exif data on Flickr for details...

Mediafire is finally back!

You have been patiently waiting for this and now its finally happening:

Mediafire is replacing Uploaded.net as my default file hoster!

The files are online and ready for download.

Just take a look at the download tab on my Blog. I think all the important stuff is there and is now well organised...
If you are missing anything, let me know what and I will upload it for you ;)

Disqus ready for action!

Disqus is now set up as our new commenting system and all previous comments have been imported.

I already announced that we switched to Disqus in this post...
In short those are the advantages of Disqus over the default Blogger comments:
  • Support for Disqus-, Facebook-, Twitter-, Google+ Accounts (you can also post as Guest without login)
  • No more captcha codes for loged-in users
  • Easier following up on your own comments
  • Easier communication with other users
  • Following comments of a specific post via RSS/Email
  • Improved view (new comments first) and comment ratings are available
  • Hopefully improved spam filter
  • Moderation of Comments is now possible for us
  • Support for attachements (e.g. photo's or screenshots) 
  • Support for hyperlinks
Also important, the comments are still synchronised to Bloggers default commenting system.
That means, the old RSS feed for comments will continue to work!

And if we ever decide to leave Disqus (because it becomes a paid service or shuts down its doors), we will still have all the comments (including all future comments) and can easily switch back to our previous (or another new) solution.

So give it a try and drop a comment, tell me what you think about it!

Update

I made some small but significant changes to our Disqus setup:
  • removed advertisment
  • improved performance
  • fixed compatibility for mobile webbrowsers
Let me know if you notice any issues with Disqus, I am looking forward to some feedback ;)
Btw. thanks to Franz for his comment (made me realize that there were problems in mobile browsers)!

New Commenting System and other Blog changes

If you kept following us here, you know that we are working on the design of our Blog.

So here is a short heads up about what's changed recently.

Upcoming posts and Mediafire

Remember this post where I announced the switch to Mediafire?

It's been half a month and as you can see, we are still on uploaded.net...
The thing is, after I started uploading my files, I received multiple strikes against my account.

According to the automatically generated emails, I violated the terms and conditions of Mediafire (which could lead to a termination of my account).

So a lot of my files were blocked shortly after uploading.

Thanks to the very friendly Mediafire Support, we were able to resolve this issue.
I can now continue to upload and share my files. Everything currently hosted on uploaded.net will soon be available via Mediafire!

Other than that, I have one more photography post to share with you guys and a short review/tutorial about how to disassemble the Nokia 808 PureView... so remember to check this blog for new content soon ;)

Making it easier to follow us, I added a new followers gadget to the sidebar.
Options to follow us via Twitter, RSS feeds and Email are now easily available.

Photography: 4 Seen Höhenwanderung

Here are some pictures from another one of my summer activities this year...

For the non-English speaking users, the title translates into something like "4-lakes-hiking".

So what you do is, you go to "Engelberg" one of Switzerlands mountains and you walk/hike around until you saw 4 mountain lakes :p

Takes about 4 hours, if you take it slow...

But enough of the blabla, here are the pictures:

Welcome Fabian!

I am happy to announce, that "The One Mobile Blog" team is growing.

Fabian, well known in the Symbian Scene as "huellif", is joining our Blog!

Best  known for his work on the "huellif CFW" and of course his recent work with the "Belle Delight CFW", he certainly is one of the most interesting persons left working on Symbian.

With his expertise and dedication in Symbian Modding and Developing, I am looking forward to lots of interesting posts by him.

I don't want to go into too much detail about Fabian, to give him the chance to introduce himself.
All I'd like to say in this post is:

Welcome Fabian, it's great to have you here!

freaxs_r_us / Eric OFFLINE for at least 4 weeks

Hi everybody,

I just bought myself a house 2 months ago and after all payments were done and all the legal crap,
I am finally getting the keys tomorrow.

I have to renovate a little (painting, new floorboards, some rooms with scratch coat)
and of course I have to move all my stuff

Internet speed is going to change from 32mbits (which it never was) tv cable
to 22600 LTE with 2x 15db beam & directional additional antenna's (for stability)

soooo
this means I have a lot of work to do, and will not be online for at least 4 weeks.
only over phone, but not for translations and uploads at all

I am going to try to make the last translations for Delight tonight. If I can't make it, then you guys are going to have to wait till September

New file hoster: Mediafire!

After lots of complains about my file hoster choice (uploaded.net), I was considering several alternatives.

None of them are fully satisfying for me, but I guess Mediafire is the best solution for you guys.

I am happy to see, that Mediafire changed a lot since I left it.
The new interface looks very promising and I think the only downside for me (coming from uploaded.net) will be the upload/download speed...

I hope you guys are happy with the comeback of Mediafire.
It will take a while until all my firmwares and tools are uploaded, but when they are, I will let you know ;)

Btw. Mediafire gives me 10GB of storage as a free user.
It may be enough for the start, but I would appreciate your help to increase my free space!

For every user who signs up to Mediafire with this link, I will get another free GB (up to 32GB additional space).
So if you don't have an account already, do me a favour and sign up using my link ;)

Click here and sign up: http://mfi.re/?7j0d0i6

Edit:
This is the new folder on Mediafire, maybe the file you are looking for is already uploaded:
The One Mobile Blog - Mediafire
(When all files are up, I will link it in the download tab to replace uploaded.net)

Blog Redesign in progress...

If you visited this Blog in the past few hours, you may noticed strange behaviour.
That's because I am currently working on a redesign (again) to keep the Blog appealing and up-to-date.

Not exactly sure where this is going this time...
I am sick and tired of the complains about uploaded.net, so I will keep an eye open for an alternative ;)
Something new that will come for sure is a "Contact" tab.
Bringing back the details to stay up to date and contact us for support in simpler ways.

Comments would be welcome if you have any suggestions!

Photography: Pilatus

I hope you guys don't get bored by my photography posts, because here is another one :)

Using the Nokia 808 PureView, I shot those pictures on the Swiss mountain "Pilatus".
With it's ~2100m in height, it doesn't even make the top ten list of "Switzerland's highest mountains"... but the view up there is nice anyway ;)
