We’re in Snowdonia (mostly) this week and whilst I thought I’d blog about the scenery, mountains, sheep etc when I get back, I would like mention the iPhone experience now.
It’s pants.
One out of five bars at best from O2. Never seen EDGE (I don’t have 3G but that’s probably rubbish too).
Worse though [...]
The other day I was thinking about being a long-time Apple customer and that around the very late 90s, early 00s, when Windows PCs were a bit of a joke, it was very easy to feel superior and evangelise a bit about Macs and OS 9 and generally lord over the great unfortunate.
So a lot [...]
Yay, the iPhone 2 software upgrade has finally been release, under the guise of version 2.01.
Since upgrading this morning, I’ve noticied:
Very cool game, Aurora Feint no longer crashes on startup. Hurrah!
I’m down to half charge after just 90 mins since full charge. Boo! (and no, I haven’t been playing AF for 90 mins - hardly [...]
So I don’t have a new iPhone 3G, but I do (finally) have the 2.0 software, so the only difference between my iPhone and the new one is 3G and GPS.
Getting the 2.0 software was a little problematic. It wasn’t available until late on Friday evening, and the re-blast process was quite painful. Half way [...]
Something strange happened at work. I locked my screen (XP) whilst taking a trip to powder my nose and when I came back, tried to unlock.
Invalid password. Tried again. Invalid password. Third time, typing very carefully. Invalid password, and by this time, my account was locked.
It turns out that my input method had switched to [...]

After the demise of my iBook, we needed a replacement for wireless interwebbing at home.
Lo! a shiny new MacBook has been ordered and shall be delivered in a week or two, but why does ‘3 days’ on Apple’s website always translate to two weeks once they’ve taken your payment?

I’ve always known that being a member of Facebook is a good way to leak personal information about yourself to those that can profit by it, so I’d removed things like full date-of-birth, information relating to family etc from my public profile.
A few months ago I cut it back even further, having noticed that even [...]

Tomorrow, wife and I are going to Barcelona for the weekend, so like many people, I decided to print out my lastminute.com e-ticket and hotel vouchers. Nothing unusual there.
However, the printer started to make some very weird noises, screwed up the paper and eventually completely jammed. I could see bits of paper jammed in the [...]
iBook seems to have relapsed after a spirited recovery.
It was taking a long time to boot, Spotlight felt it was necessary to reindex the drive, then would crash and repeat. After a single-user disk repair session it wouldn’t boot at all, in fact it didn’t seem to be getting power.
Battery and mains adaptor are fine, [...]

Some time ago, I allowed that Outlook sucks. Wanderingstan seems to agree, and does so most eloquently. Thanks Stan.
