I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
September 17th saw us publishing a picture of a three year old New Zealand girl called Pumpkin (real name Xue Qian Xun) who’s father had apparently abandoned her at a railway station. We later learned that Pumpkin’s mother had been found dead in the boot of the car outside the family home and that her … More Pumpkin's father captured!
Today is the day when women can traditionally ask men to marry them instead of the more usual practice of the guy asking the girl. This is based on some obscure reference to the Scottish Paliament having passed a law in 1288 to that effect. Further, it would seem a man who refuses can be … More Feb 29th…
Questions have been asked if Prince Harry should be ‘allowed’ to go on active service in places where could come under fire and thus be placed in serious danger. Last year there was talk of sending him to Iraq, but that was rejected eventually for a variety of reasons, not least the publicity surrounding his … More Prince Harry on duty.
The weird weather patterns we’ve been receiving (both gratefully and grudgingly) have continued apace for the last few days. The skies have been *very* reminiscent of September in the UK i.e. grey and overcast. The rain has drizzled down or worse for what feels like months and to cap it all… the temperature this morning … More Weird weather marches onwards
Slight snag. The PDA wireless modem is refusing to connect to the telco WAP… which makes it a bit of a bugger trying to do *anything* online. Since we’ve had a lot of thunderstorms lately I’m giving the telco the benefit of the doubt and accept the slight possibility there might just be a problem … More Problems?
After yonks struggling along using Internet Explorer Mobile, I finally ‘bit the bullet’ and bought Opera Mobile which is US$24. Why? Functionality is why. For simple surfing… *very* simple surfing… IEM is just about adequate. For anything else it is worse than useless. Quite often it’s actually obstructive! The main selling point for Opera Mobile … More More development.
Basically I’m so tired I can hardly keep one thought following the other. I think I’ll just call it quits for now and go get the kids from school. They’ll be standing in the rain, steaming like horses, and waiting to be collected. I think I really need a good night’s sleep. To that end … More Ok I give up.
Well I’ve told you I’m blogging using what is really a pretty good piece of kit, but it’s even more versatile than I’d realised with some *really* nice plug-ins that extend and enhance it’s versatility! Do I sound impressed?? I hope so because I still am! 🙂 Trouble is same as always, for all the … More So.. what's new?
Still using the new software… working fine… does as much as I need and more! In fact it’s far easier to use that the entry page for the software itself as the wordprocessing functions are far more extensive. Of course some of them may not work… so trying them out would be ‘a good thing’. … More End of an era?
I’m having a go of the new software from Microsoft… well new to me anyway. I think the idea is that it’s a mobile way of entering info easily on the Blog. I can see how it’s an improvement on what I do now, because the interface is more like a traditional word processor… perhaps … More Trying something new!
