Although I feel this day was rather a lazy Saturday, there's some nice things to report.

I cut the grass just before it started to rain again, so that was a good work ;-) Well, the meadow is not small, and it's partly a bit steep. We have a motor mawer (no idea if that's the english word); I was happy I found out how it works and that it did the job quite good. Although it's heavy to push uphill...

The other thing is that I could videochat with my son Tim from Germany, showing him our apartment. We both have WLAN/Camera equipped Laptops, so that's very convenient. That started then the wish to be able to chat from my Nokia Laptop. Coming from the AXA background I didn't really think that could work - BUT: Connecting people is meant serious at Nokia. Of course there's a clear warning that IM Tools like MSN are not to be used for business (fair point), there is even some support on how-to in the Intranet (Most IM clients do not work). So I configured MeeBo, which is a nice web frontend combining different Networks; So I can chat via MSN or ICQ, plus I also installed the Camera for my Nokia Laptop, so I can Videochat.
Eventually I can install Skype too, but I didn't see the need.

Funny was the test sitting between two Laptops and talking with myself. Lissu wanted to tape that for youtube (but none of the cameras were free ;-))
