Black Rock Smartphone Book Cover

Dennis

As I mentioned in a previous post, I got a Huawei P20 Lite smartphone. I asked the store for a full cover protective glass and was pretty happy when they attached it because it isn’t visible at all. But I also wanted a book cover or flip case. I’m a purist or minimalist and don’t like it if things are too fancy. I prefer single-colored and simple designs and I found a cover that I like. In the post about the smartphone I mentioned that I might share a photo of the case too. So, here it is… Continue reading Black Rock Smartphone Book Cover

After 2511 Days It Was Time To Get A New Phone

Dennis

I am not exactly the type of customer that can be reached easily by mobile phone manufacturers. I don’t have very high standards when it’s about phones. What I need is a device which allows me to receive and do phone calls. Apart from that, it’s fun if the phone can show me notifications, run a few apps or if I can take a few snapshots with it. You guessed it, any smartphone will do. And my last phone did it for a very long time. I also check the look of the phone, but once I got one, I … Continue reading After 2511 Days It Was Time To Get A New Phone

Tripod Ball Head Has Arrived And Testing A Remote Shutter App

Dennis

Yesterday I received the Manfrotto 498RC ball head for my tripod. Now I do have everything complete for the tripod. I thought I could need the cheap Nikon ML-L3 wireless remote control shutter release, but I do now have another great solution for remote controlling. There is an app for android smartphones called DslrDashboard on the GooglePlay store. I am android user so that I don’t know if you find the app for iOS as well, but I guess the app is available there too. You can control Nikon and Canon cameras remotely with this app, you just need a … Continue reading Tripod Ball Head Has Arrived And Testing A Remote Shutter App

The WordPress Interface And Stats Issue And The Thread Closing Again

Dennis

There have been many wrong design decisions here at wordpress.com recently and I wrote about it a few times. First they brought us the horrible new editor that we can fortunately still bypass. Next they did negatively change the top bar to the point until it was unusable. I also mentioned more critique here and ranted about the changes quite often. I usually dislike to rant but if something does impact my workflow negatively, I surely won’t mince words. When the new editor came up, there was a thread in the forums full of user concerns and we were fortunately … Continue reading The WordPress Interface And Stats Issue And The Thread Closing Again

The Dusty Tech Blog Domain

Dennis

Over the last day I did just experiment a little bit with my second blog domain that I gave up a while ago and published some articles there. I basically had to come to a decision if I wanted to renew the second domain or not. I still like the idea to create a pure tech and gaming blog with the other domain but there are of course still some concerns as the second blog would basically compete with the technology category of my first blog here. But at the end it doesn’t matter, because a domain renewal doesn’t cost … Continue reading The Dusty Tech Blog Domain
