On the prowl in Halifax …

… and in Montreal, too.

Notre-Dame-de-Paris Cathedral. Never made it to the observation level of the church. Perhaps, if I ever go back to Paris …

Power post

Another follow-up message relating to a favourite topic of mine: The battery life of my Apple iPhone 4S.
Lately, I’ve been able to go three to four work days between charges.
• Minimal phone calls, light web browsing using Opera with data compression, moderate texting and manual e-mail fetching.
• Not too much photography, some use of social media apps, no web-streaming audio.
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only when necessary.
• Mobile Internet operating on EDGE/2G.
• Screen brightness on manual, set to about 20%.
• Most app notifications deactivated.
I know that’s not the ideal setup for everyone … but I thought it would be interesting to share this information anyway, in case this happens to fit your own mobile phone usage habits.
(Heck, this isn’t always my usage pattern … just what’s been “normal” of late.)
