Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-08-30

August 30, 2009

So, England actually won a sporting competition. What's that weird unfamiliar feeling? National pride? Could be lunch repeating… # Watching TV: underage pregnant girl smoking a roll up. Not sure which to prioritise in my letter to the Daily Mail. # Tired after an eventful day. Dentist at 8am. Nice way to start the day. [...]

My Five Favourite BlackBerry Applications

August 28, 2009
UberTwitter

Ah, it’s time for the ubiquitous “top 5″ list. I’ve avoided blogs like this before as they are a bit tacky and are often incredibly biased. Having said that, I have owned a BlackBerry for about 10 months and in that time I’ve come to depend on a few applications that I really wouldn’t like [...]

Adobe who? You want Pixelmator

August 27, 2009

There’s a buzz growing over Apple’s forthcoming release of 10.6 (Snow Leopard). It turns out that the upgrade is a fairly big deal and many applications won’t work on it initially. Nothing really stands out on the list that I use on a daily basis apart from Photoshop Elements 6. Now, I have no need [...]

The simple joys of being a parent

August 25, 2009

My son is nearly 18 months old and every day is an adventure. If you don’t have children and the thought of owning one doesn’t appeal then what follows may mean nothing. I certainly wouldn’t blame you for writing this off as gushing nonsense. If you have young children then it may make you smile [...]

Mostly Testing

August 23, 2009

We went to Cadbury World yesterday. We’ve been before but that was about 4 years ago or so. Quite a lot is the same but there are a few new additions most noticeably the Essences “show” which culminates in a free pot of warm chocolate. It’s mostly an educational visit; indeed they stress that it’s [...]

August 23, 2009

Somehow I have to persuade my brain to wake me at 6:30 after a week of later wakings. Alarm not possble. Don't want to wake everyone. # Random: Shouldn't phonetic be spelled "fonetik"? # Should really put down by blackberry and go to sleep. If anything interesting happens, lemme know – yeah? # Too tired [...]

WordPress App For Blackberry

August 21, 2009

I know that the iPhone has had a wordpress app for a while but BlackBerry users have been out of luck. Until now. There’s a new app for Blackberry that enables you to edit and add new blog posts as well as manage comments, etc. It’s in beta and I’m using it to write this [...]

James Cameron’s Avatar

August 20, 2009

I’m sure most of you that are interested have seen the trailer for James Cameron’s long awaited and highly anticipated new movie “Avatar”. I would post a link but the sites with the trailer are either swamped or vanishing as they spread. I managed to sneak in and view the trailer and it looks like [...]
