It's my Voxiversary!

nobody@vox.com(ocifant) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:34:20 +0100

I was just Jaiku'ing with Whatleydude about the fact that I've not blogged in a while, and I suddenly realised that today is my Voxiversary! Yep, I've been on here one whole year today. I just wish I'd found time (and inspiration) to blog a bit ...

Pleasantly surprised

I'd been led to believe that RouteMaster buses were no longer in service. Imagine my delight after missing my bus today when this trundled into view! It was a real pleasure to jog along behind and jump on board, and then alight the same way a sh...

As if you'd want just one!

Apologies to any amputees out there, but just what's going on here! £10 each seems clear enough, though I can't see them having many takers. $15 for two sounds like a reasonable price. But then to have a picture of three boots, all in a differen...

I aten't dead!

Despite appearances to the contrary, I'm still here - just extremely busy I'm afraid. We've been through a hectic upgrade period at work, and have just hit the post-upgrade lull. Consequently, we're now using the time constructively to get detail...

I made it to v20.0.015!

Yep, another N95 post. Tired of waiting for T-Mobile to come out with the latest firmware (see my recent post) I decided to take the plunge and debrand my N95. Thanks to an article by adonisdemon here, I found following the instructions quite str...

C'mon T-Mobile, stop dragging your heels!

I've been waiting for something like the Location Tagger (LT) app from Nokia Beta Labs for my N95 for some while now. This allows photos to be automatically geo-tagged with location information, straight in the EXIF data. Nokia say it will become ...

I've been neglecting you lately. Not on purpose, you understand, but life has been a bit 'busy'. Work has been totally manic, with whizzing deadlines and impossible workloads and timescales. Personal life has been hectic - I can't remember the las...

Proporta Mobile Survival Kit

nobody@vox.com(ocifant) — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 08:52:10 +0000

Being a bit paranoid about the poor performance of the battery in the N95, I decided not long after getting the phone to purchase the portable power pack (Mobile Survival Kit) from Proporta. I should say right at the start that I'm rarely far f...

Nokia BH-501 headset

nobody@vox.com(ocifant) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 13:23:12 +0000

I got this headset for Crimble, having had it on my Amazon Wishlist for a while. I've used it a few times, so it's time for a mini-review. There are three buttons on the right earpiece, which will no doubt confuse all the lefties who buy it. Up/...

Why I love New Year's Day

nobody@vox.com(ocifant) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 19:24:50 +0000

I've never really understood the 'drink yourself silly' aspect of new year celebrations. Actually, I've never really understood the need to 'celebrate' the changing of a diary date, to be honest. What I do love though, is that everybody else does...
