Home
Well, I'm now home for a few days as a sort of "break" from my mountain of work at the moment. Currently typing up the ideas behind my project design, and how I diligently decided how certain classes were formulated, and I'm generally indicating that I was an all-round good egg.

Set off about 10.30 this morning, and after a relatively pain free journey (aside from the near RTA involving a volvo and a caravan) arrived at home about 12.30pm. After lunch went into Worcester on a mission to find out about the release of the Nokia 6230 which is the first nokia phone in about two years that I actually want... Yes it has all the w@w features such as video, picture messaging, "voice messaging" and all that shit, but it also has some useful attributes such as bluetooth, long battery life (12 days standby) and its not much bigger than my 8310... Ok, I'm a bit obsessive about phones when I find one I like, and this one is bloody great IMHO, especially after playing about with the one they had in carphone warehouse :)

However, its not yet available on Orange (my current provider) and I'm due an upgrade (I've had my 8310 for about 2 years now, if we ignore the whole SPV incident). After talking to the guy in carphone warehouse, there is nothing on their computer system about it, and after a call to customer services it is being released on monday, and they may well be able to dispatch me one then, if not then tthere's a chance that carphonewarehouse will have sorted themselves out and be able to offer it instead.. The problem with the latter option being that I'm planning on being back in aber come sunday :S

Ah well, nothing to do with acquiring technology is ever simple for me.

Regarding being home for the weekend, currently typing this in bed when i should really be doing project and disconnected from any form of internet access due to a guest sleeping in the same room as the gateway machine :) Even a quick wireless scan in the hope of broadband-enabled neighbours getting wirless has proved fruitless.

Anyway, time I did some design then hit the sack.
