on devotionals

I've been asked what I use and these days I just read the bible. I was using Our Daily Bread and its nice, I've used it for years. Its a great resource to get into the habit but one thing I have a problem with, because I order by mail, the old editions pile up and I have no idea what to do with them. Of course there's the online edition but I have to go to the website everyday. There's also 'my utmost for his highest' another great devotional. I have not used it before but it comes well recommended by friends.

One that I have used besides ODB is spurgeon's morning and evening. Just do a google search. I find it very encouraging. Its in old English which delights me but could be difficult to understand if English is not your first language or old English is not your thing but its really encouraging to hear the words of Charles Spurgeon as you go out and as you come back home.

Revisiting the N9

Well Nokia has said the N9 will be the only meego os phone that they will release and that got me angry and a lot of things were said both on this blog and the conversations site. I still love this company and it does not matter whether they get bought over my Microsoft, this here is an undying love.

So I've been thinking again about the N9 and if it matters that Nokia will not be supporting this thing going forward and if it makes any sense to buy this phone, again given the right price and I have to say that I would.

My current phone has not been updated in any way or form for the last 3 years and it still runs great. I don't have any apps that I use regularly, well except foursquare which I am told will stop functioning on the 1st of August because it has not been updated with the newest APIs. I don't play mobile games because I don't like the experience and I don;t want an iPhone because it seems like everyone has one already. Android is great but the ones that I like are too expensive. So does it matter that this is a dead-end product?

The one thing that makes me optimistic is Qt. If Nokia can convince developers to use Qt that there's hope because its a write once and deploy to Symbian, Harmattan, and whatever else comes out of the future disruptions division.

I would get the N9 if its priced right. I don't care.
