Nokia N900

    Posted on by snee

    I’ve had this phone for nearly 8 months now and I love it – the only thing that could improve it is if the keyboard hinged upwards when opened (like the N97). Other than that, it’s great! a full Linux operating system in a pocket sized package 🙂 A couple of weeks back, I installed Android onto the SD card and finally got around to booting into that last night while Lisa was cooking dinner (and what a dinner it was: roast lamb, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, peas, gravy and yorkshire puddings – I can honestly say I […]

    Life, the universe and Lisa…

    Posted on by snee

    Even Lisa is telling me to blog more… So, been a great week – seen lots of Lisa, as well as seeing her frequently! 😉 work has been good – we’re getting into our really busy period so the days fly by 🙂 Got a load of onsite work coming up now, and my test rig has been modified so it’s a lot easier to use and adjust for the various heights of the jacks – Bournemouth next week, plus Stansted, then Prestwick (probably) the week after. Still waiting to hear if we’ve got the job testing over in Slovenia […]

    A quickie for Friday…

    Posted on by snee

    Been a great week – everything at work is ticking along nicely, and I had a day in Paris on Wednesday at the air show. Was a long day though…up at 2.30am to drive to Luton, arrived in Paris at 8 – FINALLY got to the air show at 12, got my ticket from the company we were there to have a meeting with at 1, which coincided with my needing some lunch (I did get a full english breakfast at Luton airport waiting for the boss and my flight, but 5 hours is a long time for me to […]

    A lazy Wednesday post…

    Management Speak Truly the last resort for any wanker with very little to say, and an enormous fat gob with which to say it. I have actually heard the following phrases in meetings: “My_cat, you have failed to escalate this issue” This after I tried to sort a problem out without running to the manager. “My_cat, I am unhappy that you have PARKED this issue with me” This after I had run to the manager after the previous warning (see above). By the way, am I working in an office or an NCP? “I’m just Blue Sky thinking here – […]

    It’s (bacon roll-less) Friday!

    Posted on by snee

    Payday, halfday – start of the weekend 🙂 I like Fridays 🙂 Unfortunately, as Lisa isn’t working (although she was in for 20 minutes or so), it means I don’t get a bacon roll from her 🙁 *sigh* I’ll have to pop to the B&Q burger van soon – I’m wasting away with hunger… A LOL for Friday (courtesy of B3ta): A couple of years ago, I was at a mate’s funeral. It wasn’t a happy occasion; he’d hit a tree, and because he was divorced and his firm kept no records of his ex or kids, they hadn’t got […]

    Lack of blogging goodness

    Posted on by snee

    Excuse #1: I’ve been busy 😐 busy pawing through PHP hunting for that ONE mis-typed line of code (found it though 🙂 – I’d finished a line with:      ) Instead of:      ); What a n00b huh? Excuse #2: I’ve been lazy? Actually, I may have to backup my entire blog and reinstall – I have to post a line before I can edit in links etc. so it’s not quite right (I also get the HTTP error 500 internal server when uploading images etc.) – so bear that in mind if you get a ‘page cannot be found’ in the […]
