Just got a text message from O2 - From Mid March, my iPhone tariff is increasing from 200 inclusive mins to 600 and 200 inclusive texts to 500.
Yea, I know the tariffs were not particularly competitive before, but kudos for O2 for making the change now, without having to wait out the 18 month contract.
No [...]

Looks like iBook seems to be recovering after an OS reinstall. After syncing back its personality from .Mac he seems as good as new.
Fingers crossed he stays that way.

My iBook kernel panicked. And is doing it again on reboot.
For those less enlightened, a kernel panic is akin to the Windows Blue Screen Of Death.
I’ve yet to do any real analysis, but I fear the worst.
Snowy the iBook has been a good and faithful servant since September 8, 2005.

Thanks for Dom for being tagged. A nod to Cataclismical too.

Wife is lovely. I wholeheartedly approve of wife.

I’ve provided one for this blog - it’s not great, but it’s better than nothing.
If you don’t have an updated iPhone, this is what it looks like:

So a little while ago, a decided it was about time I got a car, terrorised the roads and pollute the planet.
I spent a little time choosing, ruling out, dithering, test driving, justifying and eventually just wanting a particular one, and I have now ordered it.
I won’t say what (don’t want to jinx anything), but [...]

Ooh, so I upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.3 and I like the home screen icon wiggle so much I want it on all the time

I’ve had the iPhone for two months now, time for the hype to die down, and for normal usage patterns to emerge.
During the week, it’s my alarm clock - I put it on silent mode, so calls/texts don’t wake me up, and I disable vibrate.
I carry it to work in my pocket. If I’m [...]
Blimey, this blog is one year old today

I was looking at the list of unclaimed prizes on the UK National Lottery web site and amazed that someone in Devon has failed to claim £6,989,367.40 !
The end date for claim is 26 March 2008. I wouldn’t want to be that person if I discovered it was my ticket on the 27th.
