I have a 4G version on it’s way to me for tomorrow. Can’t wait to have a play and see what all the hype is about. I’ll post my comments/thoughts up when I have tested it for a bit.

Ryan asked what the desktop is like so here we go:

Dodge Nitro – tonker truck!

Well I picked up my new car and sold the BMW on Wed last week. I’ve already posted in my forum what car I was going to be getting but for those of you who don’t know then let me introduce you to my new car, the Dodge Nitro 2.8 CRD SE. Now it’s a far cry from [...]

Nokia E90, review, thoughts and my general opinion

Well I’ve been running my Nokia E90 for about 3 weeks now and I’ve got to say it’s the best phone I’ve owned so far – one of the main reasons is Wifi, I use it casually when I’m at home, girlfriends or work where I have Wifi access and it is really good. Now [...]

Today had to be one of the best bike rides – ever!

Stuck close(ish) to home for this one so that we could get a couple of new faces on board – Rich and his next door neighbour Dave.
This particular ride saw us starting off and finishing in Rochdale which is where Rich and Dave live and not quite as an early start as previous days but [...]

Reliable hosting, what a joke

I was browsing a website the early (www.swapz.co.uk) and after searching on a few pages I was presented with this rather lovely and amusing error message:

Syntax highlighter editor – web based!

I’m not really into web dev much (hence this blog ) however I saw this on a mailing list and thought some people might like to try it.

Paper, scissors, stone

This has got to be one of the funniest things that I’ve seen on the web in ages (well apart from the Ripe video )

The day the routers died

Watched this video at the Ripe training I’ve been in on for the past two days and it is awesome – warning geeky sense of humour needed!

What has Southampton got to offer?

After being in a Ripe training day all day, David and I decided to see what Southampton had to offer in the ways of a meal and some refreshing beverages (non-alcoholic) of course. Having spent the best part of 45 minutes walking around the ‘City Centre’ it seemed quite apparent that the town didn’t have much [...]
