After a long hiatus, we return

Posted on by

Planning for the 4S/EASST meeting for this year has kept us all busy working over the last month to prepare our papers, presentations, and (as Jan and I are discussants for two sessions) comments for our presenters. We will post on the blog as the conference proceeds, and following 4S/EASST in Copenhagen, we will blog about the Millennium conference at the London School of Economics in the days following 4S/EASST.

  1. Dont trust on any type of software or hardware as well as unlocking tools that are fake, harmful, and non-secured and
    will not be safe for your i – Phones. He starts his article with a
    picture that shows as in i – Tunes. If you want i – Phone
    free downloads, you have options to get it from freebies sites or from membership sites but you have to weigh which will
    give you more benefits in the long run.

  6. Ha! It has been just a month (but of course a month too much)! Hope wifi is good enough to report from 4S/EASST and LSE. Oh…and a little sneak preview of what is about to come: we are planning to move this blog to a self hosted WordPress – we’ll keep you posted on the progress.
