Lifelong learning!

Two years ago when we first arrived here and moved in to our house, we also got some mobile phones from a tele company here. I wont mention the name because I don’t think it would be that good advertisement for them.
Anyway these cameras could –like all of them nowadays- take photos and even some kind of video, and for me that was exciting as I was a complete novice in using these modern forms of telecommunication, and then also to get a camera.
I’d worked with film and video for the last 15 years, but on the real art with filming and editing in one to one quality and broadcasting on master tapes and stuff like that, never on the new art of videoing with a mobile phone and boost it to youtube 5 minutes later and all.
My first mobile phone I got was in 2006, and then just a simple one without camera, so I was very keen to the prospects, being able to do some photos and some videos from our new home; Hong Kong.
Along with these phones we got a CD to install on the computer, so we should be able to synchronize calendars, e-mails and other stuff, and to transfer photos and videos. We were –and are- Mac users, and that was a problem as these CD’s and phones was only for PC.
At the beginning I tried everything, but no; I just couldn’t get the footage of that phone. After a while I just forgot about it and also my fascination with the phone and text messaging dropped rapidly as I found out that my messages didn’t reach my friends back in Europe –or not all- and when I got a text from somebody –even here in Hong Kong- then it was a couple of days old, so I forgot everything about the mobile camera and the footage already on it, I didn’t have access to it so what!
Last week at work a thought suddenly struck me out of the blue; “Bluetooth!”
My laptop has Bluetooth, so does the f…… phone. Please do not laugh at me now when I reveal that I’ve never used this technology to transfer anything, but as I realized this could be the solution, I just tried it out, and –swupetiwup- after some minutes the two devices was connected and started to transfer the secret footage.
So now some of these first shots ever I did in the new “heimat” will have their premiere on this blog.
