The k800i is, all-in-all a very nice phone. One of it’s main fairly innovate features is that it can run firmware updates from the menu and download them over the air.

Ugh. On updating iTunes and Quicktime my mac froze and upon rebooting I discovered that something went wrong. Very wrong in fact, with the “Welcome to Leopard” wizard appearing on logon and refusing to let me log in. One full time machine restore later and my mac is working again, unfortunately it’s now refusing to …
It seems that Joss Whedon has been granted a new series to write with Tim Minear. From what’s been said it looks like it should be brilliant- but it’s being made by Americas FOX network.

Also, my iBook can’t be repaired due to a myriad of incompetence’s. Bugger. Those thinkpads are looking like a mighty fine option …
I’ve been unable to make any new posts for the last few weeks on account of everything being exceptionally busy. But do not fear this blog will be returning to usual service in exactly two weeks time! For on the 24th many exciting things happen: I become 17 and thus able to start learning to …
