All over for another year will have to take down the tree soon, new year in a little while …
At least little Scruffy had a good time, he got a new green fishy toy !!
(above pictures of Scruffy taken with mobile phone camera on the SPV C500 mentioned in the below post)
I saw a couple of weeks ago that Orange are now doing the new SPV C500 Microsoft Smart Phone as a free upgrade, so thought I would take advantage of that when my plan was up for renewal. Initial thoughts on the new phone is that it is lightweight and bulk free compared to the other phone and it seems not to eat batteries.
Bad thoughts are that there is no desk holster available unlike the E200 which is a little bit of a pain but there is a usb cable so it can plug into it. Other downsides are that the SD has to go in under the battery and this is fiddly and took me a little while until I got to work out exactly how it slots in 🙂
Other than that upgrade was seamless and it certainly does feel good. Here are the shots of it.
After using it for a couple of months, I would even say its one of the best phones I have ever owned !!
A friend of mine just recommended using Skype which is a voice over IP product.
Had a go and I must say it works very well, I have used other products which are similar and run across the internet and are very choppy but this has fantastic quality.
Plus they have hooked up with telecommunications companies to provide access to the normal phone network which means from your computer you can call a normal telephone number in the world for just over a penny a minute.
Now the team have been on at me for some time to put this on my blog. Its been sitting on my desk for a couple of months collecting dust.
I thought it would make a good christmas present.
Dont forget to press its tummy…
Met up with some old friends Richard Jeffery and Tracy McMillan over the weekend, haven’t seen them for about 3 years. They were both looking well and it was as though we had only seen each other recently, not as long as 3 years.
They did have an announcement “they have got engaged”. Good luck is what I say.
Here is a picture from the pub, not too good a photo though…
Ok put my five Coolermaster Cool Drive 3 enclosures on ebay as they are now cluttering the bedroom. If your interested in buying these or any other bits I have in the gallery under “bits for sale” please drop me a line.
Not sure how these will go as they again are a specialised item. Selling at a good price though £3.00 each as these retail at about £18.00 a go.
Yogesh left the Ivis Group last Friday and had a bit of a doo.. unfortunately I couldnt make it as it seemed that everyone was leaving companies last Friday and I had to attend another bash. Yogesh unfortunately couldnt hire David Bailey for his photos but got the next best person with a camera phone.
If you can see them here are the photos (2 of the better ones) ….
Now there were a few people missing, so here are some pictures from the archives….
Hover over the photos to reveil the captions (if your browser supports it), plus may take a little time to download if your on a dial up (high quality thumbnails)
I also heard today that my friend Yogesh is leaving the Ivis Group in Ealing, to pursue a career at Teletext. It seems it is the climate for change.
Any way I wish him luck in his new job.
