Kindle scare

Kindle 3G Update

It has been a long time since I tinkered with my Kindle and today, I had to open the wireless connection to wait for the book I converted to arrive. To my surprise, it automatically went to the screen above. Of course, it was just a normal update and I just let it do things on its own.

Kindle 3G update almost finished

When the ‘loading’ screen was done, it then went into the screen above. But what happened after gave me a good scare. For a good ten minutes, it seemed on loop with the ‘reboot’ screen. O_O It scared me a lot and I was already blaming myself for carrying on with the update (though I have no idea how to stop it mid-way because it was automatic when it detected WiFi connection). It went on and on and I was already Google-ing DIY troubleshooting given the scenario. And all of a sudden, this screen appeared:

It was just a notification that my Kindle was now updated. LOL Anyway, it contains what are the new things that my Kindle can do now. So aside from the ones listed above, it also has new function for viewing children’s picture books, enhancement on table and image viewing, as well as Whispersync for Voice. I was unnecessarily scared out of my wits and it could not have happened if I were not neglecting my Kindle. I now promise to do more reading with it and periodically keep the wireless connection open, so I get more familiar with updates. =D

Rekindling with Kindle and this colorblind’s dilemma

I must admit. I had slowly neglected my Kindle since I got my BlackBerry on the last week of November 2011. We used to be inseparable from the moment I bought it in 2010 when it was first released.

But since I no longer have regular classes and the internet connectivity in my cellphone is admittedly much better (though Kindle’s 3G capability, providing FREE internet is insurmountable), I ceased carrying it everyday.

It’s June 1, 2012 and I decided to finally make a separate blog for the things I can really write longer about. I’m still keeping my Tumblr account (which turned two last April 2012), but I no longer feel the same security I used to have there. I somehow feel that I began to censor myself and started second-guessing the things I really wanted to say and post about.

Maybe I can make good use of the digicam I just obtained last month. Or perhaps just try to be extra honest and shameless with the curious mixture of things that catches my attention: eBay, bargain hunting, style musings, international and domestic politics, university, astronomy, science, literature, films, television, slight self-consciousness, twerps in the office and other types of rumination.

So, cheers for ‘bryologue‘! The venue for myself to have an inner dialogue! Though, it is a legitimate French word for bryologist, I don’t necessarily fancy talking that much about liverworts and mosses… unless it’s Kate Moss!
