I’ve been a customer of T-Mobile for ten years, back when they were one2one and one of the first phones with them was an Ericsson T10 which I still own. I’ve got a 12 month contract with T-Mobile and since they got rid of them I’ve had to fight tooth and nail to keep it … Read the rest

In this blog I want to very briefly discuss what fate is, what it means and to question your belief in it. This blog is a summary of a very long essay I once wrote on the subject of fate but that went on for over 5,000 words (boy can I waffle).

Pamela Willis, Pammy, Freckles.
On Monday 22nd February, 2010 the world lost its sparkle.
Pam used to annoy the crap out of me. The expressions she uses – notibly “how about no” – and ending sentances with the word “so”; her stubborness clashed with mine which whilst we never had proper rows, it did result … Read the rest

It’s been a long time coming but finally, here’s my blog about Linux and my experience over the past few years with Ubuntu.
Now I know to most of you that was all gibberish. To a lot of you though that are used to my ramblings it probably doesn’t come as a shock but for … Read the rest

Microsoft recently announced that it will continue to support IE6 (internet explorer version 6) until 2014 despite the fact it has now been superseded twice (current version is IE8) and once again web developers and designers (like me) across the world let out yet another defeated groan.
Microsoft’s reasons for extending support for this old, … Read the rest

Cantankerous: Difficult or irritating to deal with <a cantankerous mule> (Merriam-Webster). Stubborn, cranky, surly, ill-humoured, irritable (Wiktionary). Ill-tempered and quarrelsome; disagreeable (Answers.com)
It’s such a fantastic word. Lots of syllables. An old word that’s seldom used today. Perhaps that’s a sign that people are much nicer now than they used to be. Much more likely, … Read the rest

I came across this on MySpace and thought it was so good that I’m going to quote it here. Written by (or at least, posted by) someone called Billie Williams and it makes me cry every time I read it.

Honda make what I consider to be the finest piece of motorcycle technology ever created, the CBR1000RR Fireblade. This bike started out back in about 92 as the CBR900RR. The bike that finally stole the number 1 spot away from my beloved Yamaha FZR1000.

I really really don’t like Facebook. I don’t like how difficult it is to control privacy. I don’t like all the stupid application.
I like MySpace more. It’s the original. It’s not so annoying. I still don’t really use it though. It’s just another medium to advertise me.
