Prove the USA Gets SMS

Russ Beattie, bless his little cotton socks, wants the world to text him now that the USA can recieve international SMS. Go on, it’s worth it - in a geek shall inherit the Earth sort of way.

Channel 5 Are First

Congratulations are in order as Channel 5 become the first UK terrestrial TV channel to show “The Towering Inferno” since the World Trade Centre was struck by Saudi terrorists.
Of course a group of us watched it on September the 14th, and wondered how long it would be till it could be shown on tv. Now [...]

Engaging the User

No this isn’t the long sought after DIY fix for making the MMC in the N-Gage hot swapable, it’s a few ideas that could improve the value for money on the Game Cards.
Let’s face it, with an RRP approaching £35, it’s a lot of money to spend on a game - and yes it is [...]

Nothing Says Home Like…

Way Too Early

Just took at that time stamp. Vikki, Eilidh and I are off up to Scotland for the festive period. Normally I’d prefer spending Christmas Day in our own house, but for various reasons we need to go up a bit earlier.

Here’s The Dead Stick with Tinsel

Russ once said Show Us Your Tree. Here’s ours

Gabhach Is On The Way

Woo Hoo!!! Vikki is pregnant again!
Strangley, the secopnd thing everyone is asking (after, “aww, that’s lovely!”) is “are you both happy?”
While we wern’t trying for another baby, neither Vikki or I wanted Eilidh to be an only child, so yes, we’re both very happy, and looking forward to giving her a brother or sister. Eilidh [...]

An Engaging Device

So I’m on a train back from meeting up with some of the Mobitopia crowd, and I’ve taken stock of what my N-Gage is doing. I’m logged into an IRC channel, discussing Dark Side Of The Moon; on the radio is Deep Purple; I’m checking the recent posts on All About Symbian; reading use latest [...]
