I have an iPhone!

I don’t really, I wouldn’t do that to you guys. I represent the people who want a phone for a phone. A phone that can take a decent picture, a phone that can send decent sms and mms messages. I want a phone which has decent battery life that can last two phone conversations.
Obviously I believe all what I wrote until I actually get one. Then it will be screw you guys, I have a phone that oWn3z which is better than thou. So I can look kewl like this guy in the picture Steve Jobless. Too busy to have a shave cos I’d be checking out all the kewl features of the iPhone, the sexy screen transitions the way the apps load and how I can browse the web and google maps. But more importantly how I can instantly be kewler than you just because I have one of these.
What’s funnier is I saw a girl on youtube using her new 3G iPhone calling up Apple stores around the US asking if they have an iPhone from her iPhone. Just to be put on hold and being told by every store that sorry we either have none, or we have some but judging by the size of the queue we won’t have any spare. All this whilst filming herself. Just to rub it in. To show she has an iPhone and you don’t and none of the stores have any either incase you was thinking of running out and getting one.
I have something which is more eye opening than this. Kewl guy Elton aka http://www.walkingleaf.co.uk has a freaking iPhone. He, as to this date not blogged about it, not made a video of himself pretending to talk into it. Maybe I’m missing the point isn’t the point of getting an iPhone that you at least blog, facebook and youtube yourself with it. Even the jobless guy up there is posing with his.
Its the sort of case whereby you could be in a watch shop and someone mentions ‘time’. It doesn’t matter to you that that they are watches freaking everywhere even a clock next to your face. All time is now irrelevant. You slide out your leather pouch, slide out the iPhone, do the slidey thing on the phone to unlock it, then press the time button, which pops up a clock showing the real time. Then proceed to say the time out loud, whilst smiling and showing the phone to everyone around so loudly and bold so people can say, ‘wow you have an iPhone!’.
"Yes b!tches, I do!".
Thats what having an iPhone is all about trust me! I now these things. I’ve seen it happen.

And its a test

Hey there people just a quick test to see if M$ can make a blogging tool that works with an open source software.
Wow M$ weren’t joking when they created Windows Live Writer. I read a few people raving about it. Basically its a tool which allows you to write a blog post using a desktop application. The advantage is you can write posts and save them and publish them when you want. It supports the usual images, hyperlinks, videos etc.
The install felt a little longer than it should, but it has a wizard which pulls off a very neat feature. After entering your blog address and user/pass it downloads your theme. Obviously my theme is a custom one and when it takes you into its interface your post is formatted in exactly the way as it would as a published post.
I’m quite impressed! one word of warning though, when its installing make sure you only tick the writer option as it will try to install some other stuff which you may not need.
UPDATE: OK so I got burned by M$ I tried installing WLW on my new pc and it came up with some B$ about updating windows update agent to 5.8.02469. The first thing I do after carrying out a new install is make sure it has the latest service pack which is SP3 now. Then switch off windows update. I tend to work on service packs, I find the PC tends to last longer. Anyway if you get burned by this issue. The file to install is this one go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237. Install this, you don’t need to install anything else and then switch off automatic updates. Next you can install writer. I have to admit this has made me a little wary. The guys who made writer have done a good job, they’re just working for the wrong company : )

Sorry

Ah sorry guys I feel like a bum for not posting for so long. The worst is that after you leave it for a while you want to post something worth posting up. Then as you leave it longer and longer, the harder it is to post something which will at least be something which is worth saying or kewl or helpful or something rather than a sucké sorry post. BUT these things happen and do to me and after this much of a hiatus what can I say.
For the past year really, which is the time I changed my job I’ve been stuck in a little rat race. The rat race as most are familiar with is battling through the morning traffic, trying to make it on time to work. Then try to get noticed for your contribution/effort, for more money/raise better resources/team or working on something more exciting. Then returning trying to skip through traffic like someone who is wearing their new shoes walking along a path which has been, how can I say nicely, pampered by a dogs left overs. Obviously often we step incorrectly and suffer the consequences thankfully they’re only a little delay and not messy.
Truth is whilst we are trying to make our way to and from work, what we are really doing is helping someone else live better. Maybe not from the fumes of our car but by the fuel we put into it.
Esso £5.5bn ($10.89bn May 2008)
Shell £13.9bn ($27.6bn Jan 2008)
That bn mark next to the money is called billion, have you any idea how many zeros that is ?
Its 9 yes nine zeros more. But everyone needs to eat don’t they? except the third world country and well we could use less food we don’t want to get a full stomach now do we.
I actually bought a smaller car, the pleasure of paying so much to go to and from work isn’t the best after taste for the wallet out there.
My morning travel can be up to an hour sometimes a little more. So like always I partly upgraded the sound in the car just so I can listen to funky beats whilst I look out to the beautiful landscape in the morning. I was asked to show the speakers last time, this time I took a pic before I closed the door up. I actually used the ones from the last car, I didn’t sell them with it.
Not a very sexy image but that’s how the inside of my car doors look like.
And the music I listen to you ask?
