Guys, on SE phones, are you able to create folders within folders on the main menu? I was messing around with my phone earlier and discovered that on the 6630 and 6680 there's a way to do it

Not sure about the newer non-UIQ phones, but on the ol' P900 one has to go into the file manager, selecting eg. internal memory, then select one of the folders and within that select the 'file' drop-down menu on the top left. First option on the list is to create a new folder.

Thanks boet, you have a good 'un too.

Murphy struck early this morning. I rode the bike into work this morning, as I booked it in for its MOT (Ministry of Transport) annual roadworthy test today...and it's raining. Lovely.
I'm a fair-weather biker, as it's obviously no fun riding in wet weather, but I need to get the yearly MOT done so that I can also renew the road tax (licence) before it also expires in a few days' time.

They won't let you renew your vehicle licence without a MOT certificate (roadworthy certificate) and proof of the vehicle's insurance.

Eish boet, hope you managed to get everything sorted eventually.

It's been a beautiful day here, perfect weather and a hassle-free day for once

Ya, all sorted now. Thank goodness it was only a light drizzle by the time they finished doing the MOT.

Car MOT (roadworthy certificate) cost me £45 (R630), whereas the bike MOT cost me £27.00 (approx R380).

The licence renewal pricing here is determined by the vehicle's engine displacement etc. of the vehicle, so my MPV's licence (2.4L) cost me a whopping £175 (approx R2450!) to renew, whereas the 1000cc superbike cost me £62. (approx R870)...

Ja nee, the grass is always greener on the other side, ne?

BTW, as of today, any UK motorist caught using a cellphone while driving will be fined AND lose 3 points off the 12-point driver's licence, with immediate effect.

i'm glad that's all sorted boet. I woke this morning with the weirdest thought- you guys remember the scrambled 3d pix that used to be in the You magazines? You held it up, squinted at it for a while and eventually you'd see the image hidden within. Anyway, what would one call that type of picture?

Eish, I don't know what the proper name for them is either.

I remember those pics all too well, but I was pretty useless with identifying the 'hidden' images, despite my arty inclinations.

Funny that, others would squint at those pics for a few secs and say something like, " Oh, I see a dolphin leaping out of the sea..." and I'd still be "Errrr.."

Hehe! I did okay with those. But they did have descriptions on Pro-Nutro packs, so I took that, and if it said "Giraffe mating with a tree stump" I would try to recognize the different parts...Traumatic childhood I had...Mating Giraffes...Flirting dolphins...

Anyway, moving on, I went to watch a band called Harris Tweed (Link on my MySpace site) last night, and I have not been impressed by a band in a long time as much as they impressed me last night. They are tight as a hard disk screw (that is, damn tight!) and their music is top notch for a South African band. They are Indie / Folk / Pop, and really well worth the listen to. Very friendly stage personality from the leading girl with the most beautiful smile.

A couple of pics I tried taking, but with the light at Tings and Times, it was a bit hard.

After a bit of judicious googling it would appear that those pix are called stereograms. I found quite a few of them at http://www.eyetricks.com/3dstereo.htm

Sadly, there were no deviant giraffes, Francois

So I decided it is time for pictures again, and a lot of them, since everyone decided to pull a Silent Bob the last little while. If I repost any pics, sorry. My memory is as good as that of a scitso goldfish.

In trying to get this picture:

I had to let this gentleman subtly know that the fact that I was pointing my camera at the Porshe behind him does not in any way mean I want to buy a Pretoria News...

Our cat keeps pretending to be an undercover agent. He tried to blend in with the teddies, but until this day it is still a mystery who was responsible for the removal of Barbie's head...

I co-own a Monty Python collection. The big book is not there, but I had the cover for the pic. It is a thick book.

Our church is in a tent at the moment...I promise you this, it is beautiful inside...

Okay, more later...gotta drive someone around.

@ Francois,
The clarity of the first two pics is fantastic!
BTW, that pic of the cat amongst the fluffy toys... is the pig in that collection the one that 'sings' My Girl, when you squeeze one of its trotters?

Checked out Harris Tweed via your myspace. Very talented, reminded me a bit of The Cranberries.

Taken inside one of the local music shops over the weekend, with the N73 doing its best to zoom in on this high-mounted electric guitar.

Been away for a long time now, busy with school and all. Just ask Kryptik, I've hardly had time to reply his emails. Heh... Sorry about that bro. Anyway, I've seen some really good pics here and I especially liked the one with the church in a tent by @francoislr. And @amawanqa, that was really funny, loved it. Right, so I've decided to post some photos taken with my K750i.

Pictures taken in one of the older estates:







A local dish, "fried prawn noodles", also known as "fried hokkien mee", where hokkien refers to the dialect group of the people who made this dish. It's really yummy!



Regarding your enquiry about making folders and sub-folders on SE non-smartphones, Kryptik bro, I've tried it out and I've found out that the option only exists in certain folders. Mostly non-system folders, if I'm not wrong. In any case, I usually create them on my notebook using a card-reader and my phone detects them (folders as well as sub-folders) without much problems.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
