If you don’t know what it is, read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_e-mail

In short, it keeps you connected with your corporate mailbox when and where you want, provided you have a DirectPush-enabled device and (you) can access the Internet with it.

My first Linux experience is a Knoppix LiveCD. To be fair enough I’d say it is a PC-Linux experience because this poor handheld is also a Linux device by itself.

It’s nice, like the feeling you have when you find yourself first time in a big city abroad, and although things look strange they turn out to be rather easy. Without difficulties you can find out what you basically need: food, drink, cash exchange and Starbucks where you can get online:)

Beyond doubt it’ll take you quite a while to fully catch up with things and be that city’s citizen, but at first sight it gives you good feelings and a bit of confidence.. and overall you’re not badly homesick !

Things which always stun me:

• The revolving garden sprinkler
• Fingers of the guitarist playing
• The sea, behind a  curve
• The starry night
• Children’s eyes
• Deep-sea fishes
• Big feline animals

Another post from the handheld.

It is 4am and I’m waiting for my dad at the interprovincial bus station. The very last day of 2006. It must be cold in my hometown, somewhere in the highland and some 400 kilometres away from Saigon. It is difficult to locate that small town from wikimapia, and the weather is said to be around 10 degrees Celcius these day.

But here, in Saigon, it’s nothing like coldness. And there is no night at such places. Bike drivers waiting for late passengers from the arriving buses, coffee and food vendors keeping their shops lighted all night serving those people.. I just wonder whether these noctune citizens do sleep at all…they’re all looking so calm and enduring.

It is quite an inspiring scene, and this post would be several hundred words longer if my dad’s bus didn’t arrive a little earlier than expected. However here it comes and that’s it. See you again next year in the next post (hopefully from the next handheld!)

I created the category ‘E680i’ quite a while ago but haven’t had a chance to post anything to it until now. First it’s because the ‘post’ function doesn’t seem to work with this Opera browser. Second there are plenty of other secondary reasons which are always good excuses to stay idle and not to do something.

However spending more than 1 hour everyday in a public bus may become extremely boring, unless you give up your seat to an old lady or some hot chicks which all ends up with standing along the way and rocking while the bus’ rolling on the bumpy roads.

Yep here it goes. It’ll be short posts, as I wont have more than 30 mins tapping on this poor Linux device. And it’ll be in English as I don’t bother to find any VN keypad for the E680i (I know just too well I’m no geek after talking to the #Vietlug people)

And I’m renaming the category to ‘From handhelds’ as I’m planning to switch to some wi-fied device in forseeable future!
