Sorry, another iPhone related post
Anyways, I’ve spotted a bit of a flaw in the iPhone App Store.
The App Store is the only way you can legally develop and distribute apps for the iPhone and you have to publish them via Apple. This introduces a huge amount of convenience, but you also lose a [...]
Much has been reported about the debacle that is the iPhone 3G release, and I too have been a victim.
I received a text message from O2 at 08.09 on the 7th telling me the website to let me upgrade was open from 08.00. Of course by that time it was completely hosed, so I tried [...]
This Sunday, you are organising the London Marathon, a fine tradition and much loved by all.
However, on Sunday, the side road leading to my home is going to be closed. For most of the day.
How do I know this? It’s not because you put up signs, or perhaps posted a noticed through my letterbox, say, [...]
Today, I was supposed to take delivery of my first car and was quite excited.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the dealer called me up with bad news. It arrived on the ferry from Germany into Kent somewhere, then got loaded onto a transporter and taken up to Grimsby. Grimsby! I live in London so this is not [...]

Grrr.
It would seem that I have paid a great deal of money to Travelodge over the last day or three. Seems unlikely as I was in Barcelona, but that’s what my credit card statements say.
My bank seems to agree that this is unlikely and they are in the process of sorting it out.
Here’s hoping it [...]

30,000 messages.
About 380MB of email.
My mailbox limit at work is approx 80MB at which point [...]

A day or so ago, we took a bus tour to Brooklyn. This involved waiting for a bus down by the South Street Seaport.
There was a queue (or line for Americans). We were around four back from the front.
A bus showed up, but it wasn’t the one we wanted, but this didn’t stop a load [...]

Got a phone call from Pissy PC World this morning about my Wii. Very nice lady explained that DHL could not deliver my Wii and returned it due to “security” reasons, and that this usually means that there is some confusion of the address.
Most likely, the DHL drone was confused by the entry panel on [...]
Someone sent me a link to the Windows Vista Wow Prize draw, where you get to watch three demos of Vista, then get free entry into a prize draw.
I needed a laugh, so why not?
Like Vista, you need to click endlessly on a sequence of buttons to get anything done, with an annoying perceptible delay [...]
Here in the UK, the Wii became available for pre-order at Amazon.co.uk on November 21th 2006.
Amazon said the store would be open for this at 9am, so I stayed a home, Amazon Wii page opened in Safari, mouse hovering over the ‘refresh’ button.
After about 15 mins of waiting, and no “Wii now available!” messages, I [...]
