How to get a 40Gb iPod for £50 (sort of)…

Saturday, October 25th, 2003

Last night I finally gave up on my Jukebox, I took it back to Dixons and
told them that it was broken. I had charged the battery for 12 hours and it
only managed to play for two and a half hours, considering the packaging claims
eight hours playback I considered this broken. The unit had […]

Wi-Fi Rules

Saturday, October 25th, 2003

I must say I am so impressed with WiFi. I had a meeting about the
landscape design site I’m working on in my lunch hour at work today. I met up
with the client in a coffee shop around the corner from my office which has
wireless internet access. I walked in switched on my […]

Access denied!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2003

I tried to get to imagecircus.com while I was at
work today and I was suprrised to see an access denied screen where my site
should have been. Like most companies my office have SurfControl installed and
for some reason it was flagging my site up as banned. I emailed the guy in
charge of internet […]

This made me laugh. I wonder if it will encourage more users to
switch?

The revolution will be blogged

Today was interesting. At the beginning of the second class the lecturer
turned up and couldn’t get the lecture theatre to work, so she went off to get a
technician. Fifteen minutes later Rod (another student) stood up and gave a
short speech that he was fed up with all the time we seem to waste […]

a little more “festive fun”

Sunday, October 19th, 2003

I finished the poster for “Festive Fun” this evening and Graeme said that
he might have some more work for me which would be nice. I also got an email
from the head of Photography at TVU and he told me that Sanzio won’t be coming
back. Sanzio was one of my lecturers last year, […]

T’is the season to be jolly… (nearly)

Saturday, October 18th, 2003

I spent this afternoon working on a poster for “Festive Fun” which is a
family run Christmas show in Weymouth. I did the same job last year when it was
called “Crackers for Christmas!” It’s run by the brother of the guy I was
working for, basically I get shown exactly what they want and then […]

From the sublime to the ridiculous

Friday, October 17th, 2003

I posted a review of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in the forum
yesterday and I was amazed that it took three years to make. Today I watched
“Desperado” and then I watched it with the director’s commentary. The entire
film was shot in seven weeks!! That’s madness, especially considering it’s a
good film. It’s the […]

Well it’s all up and running now

Thursday, October 16th, 2003

I am now teched up to the eyeballs. I set up my airport connection today
(I’d forgotten to select the encryption settings) so I’m all ready and waiting
for when I get broadband put in. My palm and phone are now connected to my
powerbook so I can send texts and synch my address books between […]

I’m a very happy bunny….

Wednesday, October 15th, 2003

In case you hadn’t guessed, I got my Powerbook yesterday. I got a
phone call from PC World in the morning then I met Jo from Uni and we went to
collect it in the evening. Oh my god! It’s fantastic. I’m so glad I bought
it. The design is utterly beautiful […]
