My Proporta Mobile USB charger just turned up and in the package was an Earl Grey Tea Bag!
The device is pretty neat too, it used mini usb to charge, so I can carry just one mini usb cable around (the same one as used to connect the Phone to the PC) and I can [...]

A Proporta Mobile Device Charger is now in the post on it’s way to me. I took Jonathan’s advice that it’s the best accessory ever. I did go and check out the Solar chargers but all the comments on them seem to indicate they were pretty poor, so I’ve decided to leave well alone for [...]

I mentioned in an earlier post that our vacation was fast approaching and that I was clearing off memory cards ready. I’ve made an effort to fit all the kit into one bag this year and make it easier on me to remember kit and transport it, it’s a Lowe pro Stealth Reporter camera bag. [...]

Our vacation is fast approaching so it’s time to get the kit sorted out ready. I’m currently wiping all the CF memory cards for my Canon 400D, that’s 2 x 2GB and 1 x 4GB cards, which is plenty even shooting in RAW for me. We’ve got a wedding down in Cardiff straight after our [...]

I’ve been using the E71 for a couple of days now and I don’t know what to think, but something is nagging at me, that maybe this isn’t the perfect phone I’d hoped it would be. It may be just me and how the device is used rather than the device itself being at fault. [...]

I upgraded the share online app on my N95 the other day to the new version 3.0. That added a nice little comments and new photo’s tracker to the homw screen and allows me to read the comments on my flickr pictures on my N95 which is great.

I also installed the Beta App location tagger, [...]

I’ve installed the beta of Nokia Maps 2.0 and I’m having a few troubles. The first one and the main one is that it take ages to find a signal. Sometime it’s seconds other times it just refuses to find a signal and sits there searching for 5 minutes or more. That’s a show [...]

I managed to pick up an invite to Dopplr via contacts on Jaiku (Thanks again Karen) and have managed to set up a single trip. I’m looking forward to using it in anger so to speak once I’ve got back into traveling for work.
Dopplr announced via their blog that you can now add contacts from [...]

So gadgets for the car only really, I’ll be able to check [...]

During my stay in Frankfurt we made a trip to ‘the Steak House’. It’s not a place to go if you’re a veggie or if you like well done steaks. I asked for mine to be cooked ‘medium to well done’ only to be told “medium will do”.
Huge steaks, huge portions,the place was packed for a Wednesday [...]
