Was it Nice in Nice?

Yes, I’m back from the Series 60 Community Awards (where AAS didn’t win) but the whole event was definitly somehting that Rafe and I had to go to. Just being able to meet face to face a lot of the companies and people we’ve been emailing will help AAS in the long run. But for now, here’s my Diary of the travelling out to Nice and the evening reception. Part two tomorrow.

It’s Nice This Time Of Year

Well, the South Coast of France is. I’m off for a few days to Nice (which will be nice) to attend Nokia’s Series 60 Platform Awards. All About Symbian has been nominated (along with The Register, My Symbian and Infosync) for the “Series 60 Evangelist Award.” Will have a nice entry when I get back, but unless I find an Internet Cafe while I”m out there, any emails and other messages will be looked at on Thursday

I’m Ready For My Close-Up

From Vikki For those who don’t know, Eilidh landed herself a wee job on Wednesday being a one year-old for a Basingstoke shopping centre’s first birthday publicity bash thingy. We had a long day, leaving the house at 6.45am to get to Basingstoke for 9.30am. Eilidh took a real shine to one of the centre managers, who was equally taken with her. The poor woman ended up carrying Eilidh around several times, but both of them seemed happy :) So she (carried by me – I wasn’t intending being in shot!) has been photographed by a couple of local papers

It’s All Gone a Bit Quiet?

No, not really, just not been posting here, or on the boards. A few nice things are coming to the boil in the background. OPL first, and it finnally looks like there is a clear path forward. It all started with this rant from Russ Beattie on his Blog – credit him for kicking of the new thoughts on OPL I’ll be posting in the next day or so. OPL’s not dead, it might even have menu’s running in the private distro I’m testing right now. I’m also planning (with Rafe and Jordan) to attend the Nokia Series 60 Awards

Symbian.Developer.Com

I’ve never hidden my thoughts on the situation for Developers using the Symbian OS. Looking at the website offerings from PalmSource and Microsoft’s Pocket PC, they offer easy paths in getting started on their systems, links to tools, papers, example codes and everything else you’d expect.
