06252007064 Originally uploaded by chrisdrum Here it is, folks. My new parking spot. At work. On B2 - that’s underground, bud. My friend Dom suggested I decorate it somehow. Any ideas?

Update: Finished… I am finally upgrading the Wordpress software on this site. it might look weird for a while.

I couldn’t wait any longer. I bought a N95 (actually, I bought it on Tuesday, just took me a while to post about it). Some initial thoughts: 1. Camera is really nice 2. GPS is slow as a dog 3. I hope the new firmware (to be released soon, I hope) that supports A-GPS will work in China. 4. I use Shozu to upload my photos to Flickr. It seems that setting the “reduced to web” function strips out the camera type field int he exif tags.

They’re offering me 300RMB (normally 600) per month for an underground parking spot. That’s ~US $38.8592 as of today. Is that half logic? I also suggested give me a corner somewhere, not a full spot. 300 as well. Hah. I’m taking it just to be done with it. The next test - once the paperwork is filed, and I go to move my bike, has it been “altered” in any way?

At my new job, I found a pretty nice parking spot in the rear of the building. Its nestled in a some-what corner right by the back entrance to the mall that occupies floors B1 through 4. That’s not important. The building has both underground parking and above ground parking - I am above ground. I’ve been parking in this spot for the last … 2 months. In fact, I started parking at this spot on the suggestion of one of the parking lot security guards.

I tried going to a ebay China mobile phone dealer here in Beijing last night after work (Monday). I was going to get the SE k810i. I had the cash. Turns out these guys don’t have it in stock. ugh So, at the urging of several people, I am going to start looking at Nokia products to see if any of them, N73, N76, N95, etc. are possibilities…
