Like many places in Europe today, its sunny and warm and as the wife and kid are off working the fleamarkets, it only makes sense that I get on my bike and do a bit of ultra mobile PC photo blogging.
- Bag – 238gm. Jack Wolfskin Bodybag.
- Nokia N82 – 110gm for live GPS tracking (Sportstracker.com – see my current position) and music.
- Canon S2IS. 512gm (I need to get something lighter) for the pics
- Samsung Q1 Ultra. HSDPA. 700gm for live photo editing, captioning, blogging and possibly some live streaming.
- The software: Windows XP, Live gallery, Live Writer. Sportstracker (Nokia)
- The blog: Chippy’s moblog.
- Pics probably going up on flickr too.
- Total weight: 1.7kg including spare AA and Nokia battery.
I hope the N82 lasts a bit longer thanthe last time I did a similar thing. I’ve switched to GSM-mode only (GPRS/EDGE data) which should give me about 3 hours of battery life.
Update: I’ve made a post about the whole experience with details on the process and hardware.
For those of you who have never been hiking I would like to say …you are missing a great life experience. There is no better feeling of freedom and fun way to keep in shape as hiking. At first it may seem tough to know exactly where to begin but once you hit the trails and meet other hikers you will learn the ropes very quickly.
