Month: May 2007

Update:Violet, the creator of the Nabaztag stated in a comment to this blog post that the info I have got from both mail traders is not correct.

I am sorry for this and I forwarded the reply of Violet to both mail traders!

It appears that the Nabaztag/tag German version can be ordered now at madillo.tv.

The others sell the English version to my knowledge – which will be – according to DigiTrends! updateable through a software update which will be available for free for registered users from www.nabaztag.com, later this summer.

I have ordered the English version myself and since I prefer English anyway, I will stick with it!

I am not giving any warranties that the info is correct, I am just repeating what I have been told!

If anybody knows more about this, please send an email!

I found today out when I was compiling a blog post, that Blogger now does save drafts automatically! (More info in Knowledge Base).

Instead they would better fix below bug which still persists to me eventhough I have latest Opera final.

When I click on “Upload photo” button, nothing happens.

“Blogger Status
Friday, May 18, 2007

RESOLVED: Some Safari and Opera users are experiencing difficulties saving or previewing posts and uploading images. We are aware of this problem and currently working on a fix.

Update, 9PM: Apologies to those affected. We have fixed the bugs that were affecting Safari and Opera. Autosave and photo uploading should now be working correctly.”

On my journey trough the Nabaztag community, I found something pretty interesting: A song sung by Nabaztags owners. Source and link to this in Fear Of Hopping blog. Available: covers, lyrics, and the song itself.

A bit crazy maybe but certainly unique! 🙂

Technotari shows us once again who is the master of choas! Buzz TV is down!: Here is what they write:

Buzz TV is on a hiatus, because the main Buzz TV video-editing rig is having serious technical problems that still have not been fixed.”

Guys, incase you didn’t notice this yourself: Your whole service is a huge big Technical Problem!

The many downtimes, the huge pile of problems, the slow email or forum replies (or a welcome alternative is also: ignore and forget or a “Sorry, we have no idea about that” and then they forget).

During the 2 years, you have been helpful to me just 2 times only! (Which was a wonder!)

RealTek replied to me by sending a short email the other day.

The letter I sent originally to them in Taiwan was returned with “moved, new address unknown” notice of the Taiwanese Postal Service (incredible, so they have a wrong address on their homepage!!.

I sent the letter then to their sister company Real Communication in the US.

I will keep you updated about the case!

The English Share Skype blog uses Technorati backlinks instead of trackbacks now whichi is a wise move, because people like me who refer to them, get now their credits for the reference, rather than being “accidently spidered” from the “blogs of friends” blogroll!

Jaanus writes the reasons:

“The reason for this change was that we got sick of trackback spam, and many blogs don’t implement the trackback protocol but are still indexed fine in Technorati.”

nice move, thank you!
