The all new HAPPYTIMEBLOG… Welcome!!!
30 September, 2009 Posted under: Updates
Welcome to the new look HAPPYTIMEBLOG, a travel blog of Aaron and Georgie’s wanderings from here to there. If you’ve been here before you will notice a drastic change in its appearance and if you haven’t then hopefully your just dazzled by the prettiness of it – either way I’d love your feedback, comments or links. Please feel free to have a look round and let me know how it went
Thanks again for looking
Aaron
Lobe the new look blog guys. So many of your trips have inspired destinations for us.
One day I REALLY hope we cross paths.
Mucho love to you.

Thanks man, it was a bit of a struggle but finally I am somewhere near happy with it now. I’m sure we will cross paths soon enough and if not then we will have change paths I say! Where abouts are you from originally then Andy?
Hi Guys,
The new theme look amazing. You’ve done a great job with it and I’ll be sure to check in regularly to comment. After all, gotta show some support for my fabulous Hip Compass colleagues!

Thanks man, like I said in my email the feeling is mutual about your site. Speak soon I’m sure…
Thanks Carrie, and your damn right about the Hip Compass crew sticking together!
Hi! I first came across your writings when you described using the Nokia N95 as a blogging machine. You still using that? Looks like you’ve gone up-market now! I’m curious as your N95 piece got me inspired to try the Nokia myself, to see if it can in some ways compete with my Samsung netbook, certainly on the level of portability! Have fun – you’re in a great part of the planet (I once lived in Singapore, love SE Asia, and now live in Colombia).
Hi Andy,
Thanks a lot for getting in touch on Happytimeblog. To reply to your question, yes I do still use a nokia N95 (I use the 8gb Version). I have since gone upmarket with a macbook but the Nokia still does things that the macbook can’t. On web browsing it obviously is out gunned by any laptop but I see that as a worthwhile compromise of portability. I use it with a bluetooth keyboard and to be very honest it has never once let me down… No matter where we’ve been! I use it with an app called quick write which is like a spellchecker and that really helps with posts. But it’s still even now (post iphone) an amazing little piece of technology and more than capable, the camera is oodles better than an iphone’s and as I’m sure you’ve seen it can geotag pictures and pin them on a map (which I feel is a great feature to any travel blog). In truth it is all you really need, internet cafes offer any services you might fall short on and if you really want to travel light it will be a worthy partner.
We travelled around a lot of SE Asia using just that and in times when we did have our macbook and no internet connection available we were able to upload posts through the N95! We will be taking it on a trip to Spain in a week and using it to upload pics and maybe posts to the map and blog and if I find any holes in the system I will plug them up and blog all about it.
Thanks again for getting in touch and if you have a twitter or facebook I’d love to have your @names…
