TOKYO

I'M REALLY COMMING!

(picture taken from here)

So I have good news! I'm going to Tokyo!!! and be there for about two weeks! woohoo.

I'll celebrate new year in traditional japanese style, visit some old cities, see the deepness of the japanese culture. It was my dream to visit Japan since I was kid, first all it was about samurais, latter technology, then anime, and now I want to see it all! I definately will go to Akihabara since I'll live in about 20 minutes way by foot from it :)

So then i'll be there i'll post new things about it and what happening :)

Btw. I'll leave Lithuania 28th of December and back 12th of January.

Google Browser

Yesterday Google Released Google Chrome - Google browser!

It's pretty nice, I really feel that it works much more faster than Mozilla Firefox (but i have lots of add-ons on it).

Chrome has some nice features, f.ex multi-threading, each tab is new process, and browser will not freeze if java script will run on one tab and etc.... 

Also you can try type "about:memory" into address bar, and you'll see all running browsers memory usage in geek style :)

I'll try to use it for a day and then i'll say my opinion about it, and what i'm missing in it.

iPhone 3G

Hey, few days ago I ordered iPhone 3G, black one, 8GB (hope it'll be enough storage for me) woohoo!!, can't wait I'll hold it in my hands :)

My first steps will be Unlock it to use in Lithuania with any sim-card, Jailbreak it - to use any software without much pain, and install tiger-x86 through vmware on my win-based pc, and try to develop some app's by my self.

I'll let you know how I unlocked it and etc. Maybe I'll post an article how I did that.

Many cool stuff you can find at iPhone wiki. (Thanks to George Hotz ).
