And there will be no 3G as well, at least till the middle of next year (the process for rolling out 3G in the country has only just begun).

Flight back from Boston was not as bad as expected, since I was upgraded to business class .

Had a horrible pain on my right index finger throughout the last week, and decided to stay away from computers and do some reading during the weekend. (ultimately I ended up sleeping much more that I really should)

My old mobile phone (Motorola A780) was causing a lot of problems, and so I decided to replace it with a Nokia E71. It took me some time to get accustomed to the new UI, but apart from that, I am quite happy with it (love the keyboard and the thin design of the set).

Managed to set up the NAS device that I had got in my home network. I was a bit worried about the device supporting only Samba, but it turned out that it runs some kind of embedded Linux set up, and enabling NFS was pretty easy.
