I love Opera on my phone. However it does cost money. They also make a stripped down version which works on virtually anything using the power of J2ME. Opera Mini is now in Beta 4 and man does it look good. Arve Bersvendsen wrote some great commentary on Opera Mini including screenshots of it passing […]

For our 1st anniversary Rosemarie and I had a meal at The Gate. It’s one of those places with a great reputation that has been recommended to me but I never quite made it to. Now we live another 10 miles away, of course we have.
Finding our way their was slightly strange, it’s just around […]

I’ve been playing with a neat little app on my N95. It’s called Cell Spotting. The idea is to collect the IDs and locations of Mobile phone cell towers. On each network you can assign a name to an area (collection) of towers. You can name each Tower, and describe some information about it such […]
Simple rule. It works for me. “You are worth talking to, and they are worth talking to.” As soon you grasp this simple concept you can find the courage to talk to anyone and listen to them and their ideas. Eventually you will get to the point when you find out something worth knowing.
I will […]
I like Orange. I’ve been with them for a long time. Whenever I upgrade they are very competitive. However just before I got my N95 they cancelled all their data plans, and caused me to write this blog post.
I called Orange back yesterday and spoke to someone who was very pleasant, but not able to […]
Even the setting up was fun. God knows what a riot the rest will be.

My wife got some great green advice while out shopping today. One of the pamphlets (now in our recycling bin) pointed us to MPS Online. This is a free service which is similar to the Green Dimes service Nate blogged about. It’s a free service in the UK that allows you to opt out of […]
Christian made some excellent points about not corporate bashing. It made me think of when Molly announced she was working with the Internet Explorer team. Half the comments were bad mouthing the product not congratulating her and them on taking a step forward. It says to me that Web Development still isn’t a profession. It […]
I’ve been having a productive weekend and clearing out all the “to read” chaff in my feed reader. Rather than writing an actual post today I thought I’d highlight my link blog which almost always includes commentary. Lots on there at the moment because of the clean-up.
You can subscribe to my link blog via RSS […]
Sometimes I get really sick of Orange. I’ve been with them a long time. There are some things I really like, such as their phone insurance which is the best in the industry. However, they’re pricing plans are really getting me down again.
When I upgraded to my Nokia N95 I asked them about data plans. […]
Wow. Talk about cliché. On the tube today I was sitting next to a 70 something year old man, in his collar and blazer. He was reading the Daily Mail and eating Worthers originals.
I guess if nothing else stereotypes are rooted in truth. I was going to ask his opinion on something but I was […]
This is a recipe that I’ve been working on. and works really well. Simple to make but really delicious and healthy.

1 Medium/Large Red Onion
1 Tin of Sweetcorn
1.5/2 Litres of Stock
2 Teaspoons of Salt (if you use unsalted stock)
Finely chop the onion, and sauté in Olive oil. Cover until soft (5 […]
Recently one of the adverts that ran on the Yahoo UK frontpage really upset me. Since I work on this it’s pretty close to my heart. The ad was for an 18 rated horror movie which I suppose will be in “all good cinemas” soon. I have no problem with horror movies, I don’t watch […]
The Orange web site, which remains a horribly slow mass of J2EE redeemed itself a little today. While mucking around with my N95 I accidentally locked it. Turns out I didn’t have to call Orange’s support number charged at mobile rates from my landline. There was a link from the homepage of my account […]
Google Gears makes me wonder about some things. I understand how web applications are better in scaling and client distribution terms. It’s kinda like using a mainframe or a thin client. However, they suffer from a massive user experience disadvantage compared with well written desktop applications.
Gears has made a big splash in the online community, […]
Simon Willison linked to Feedwhip. I love this idea. It’s very much like a Mac OSX App I’d been using, Changes Meter. The basic idea is that it provides an RSS feed to changes that happen on a web page that doesn’t have a feed. I use my feed reader a lot for all sorts […]
Today everyone’s favourite FOSS project, The Mozilla Foundation, are in my good books.
While tracking down some weird bug at work. I found out the that all those talkbacks you submit when your browser crashes are publicly available. This is super if you are getting reported issues with Firefox on your site. Working with your knowledge […]
