Was Granny Smith an apple whore? [NSFW] 2008-03-06 16:23:19 Well its finally happened.
The last nail was hammered into the coffin and the cadaver rests forever undisturbed inside.
Ok, its a little dramatic, I grant you that but when you are wronged repeatedly you have to say enough is finally enough.
A shop sells you crap, you stop buying. Your train company delays you, you fly or [...] Read more:Smith
Sometimes I am scared to open one eye in the morning! 2008-02-24 17:06:04 You think life has shown you her best, treated you to her tastiest morsels and then she goes and surpasses herself yet again, good old life!
Yes, relaxing as I was at my computer, surfing the web so that I might not have to do all those other important things I really should be doing I [...] Read more:Sometimes

Touch the recent app upgrade for free.

When Des was around, Women weren’t allowed to read blog postings! 2008-02-16 07:10:34 When Des was around, Women
weren’t allowed to read blog postings!
If a woman read a blog posting then her husband would think she were trying to be more intelligent than him and lock her in a cupboard for a day with no food or water.
This might be a line from one of Marc Wootton’s new [...]
In a galaxy far, far away… 2008-02-10 06:37:27 …everyone should have one blog post that has a Star Wars headline
23 years ago back in 1985 I was but a teenager, 15 to be exact and I had a super-computer in my bedroom, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, my second machine after the Sinclair ZX-81 with 16K RAM pack, yeah 16K and that [...]
Today I baked a cake, so bite me! 2008-01-27 19:36:22 I have noticed that I have been using the blog to rant a lot.
Now I do, like I guess most of you out there, often have a good reason to rant and it is often better out than in as they say.
I am sounding like a miserable sod which really isn’t what I am all [...] Read more:Today
Weirdest marketing call opener ever! 2008-01-19 07:41:35 I recently took a call from a female caller at a marketing company that opened with the line - “Hello, is that the man of the house?”,
What, the house NEEDS a man?
The house can’t function without a man?
Are you trying to sell me an erection cure? (that I don’t need, cough, LOL)
Why didn’t she just [...]
I stand corrected, now i’ll shut up and sit down :-) 2008-01-19 04:05:40 Looks like I got the wrong end of the stick, as did a number of others I speak to or read their blogs on the net.
The update to the iPod touch is indeed free but the applications are charged for.
This is fairish, still a bit peeved that new purchasers get them for free and even [...]
Disappointed with Apple’s decision to charge for iPod upgrades 2008-01-15 13:38:49 When a $20 charge
cost Apple
Inc $768!
I bought my iPod
Touch before right before Christmas.
As you saw, I was all excited by my purchase and yes I still do love it.
But today I was totally shafted again by Apple and I have to speak out and say I am not happy.
Steve Jobs has said [...] Read more:upgrades

Hacked at more times than an Amazonian tree 2008-03-16 10:43:23 This week has been full of activity.
Hacker activity. Oh the joy!
From simple text files being places in directories, through information being stored in one of my databases through to a fully fledged phishing attack on a major bank from one of my website.
Needless to say I have tightened security and continue to scour the internet [...] Read more:Hacked

The tooth fairy took my TV! 2008-06-02 10:00:07 At least I think it was the tooth fairy
, though I don’t think the insurers believed me!
A few days ago I had my lovely new (4 months old) HD LCD stolen along with some other items from where I live.
This is a big word of warning and advice to those that have similar products.
Without hesitation, [...]
Right up your street? 2008-06-06 11:24:37 Tata of India has begun finalising the details of their latest car, the Nano. What is so different about this car as opposed to any other is that it will cost a mere £1,250 ($2500) to buy.
Now this brings obvious opportunity to many developing countries and many opportunities to market in more affluent countries to [...] Read more:Right
There is danger in the jungle or beware Amazonians bearing gifts! 2008-06-06 03:47:57 Be careful of what seems like a good offer…
…unlimited DVD’s for £9.99 ($20) was the offer that Amazon.co.uk made and I gladly accepted.
Just pick, have them delivered and return, seemed simple enough and for a couple of years I was doing just that.
Amazon have decided to get out of the market and transferred their business [...] Read more:bearing
Snacking on fruit, with half the world! 2008-06-09 12:59:29 It seems like half the world is sitting here watching, listening, blogging, twittering or IM’ing news of Apple’s WWDC 2008 event from the Moscone Convention Hall in San Francisco today.
I have to admit to being caught up in the excitement even though I sold my iPhone recently.
The iPhone is a great bit of kit but [...]
