I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Phone blogging

Of course, (she says, with a sigh) the other reason my phone signal suddenly disappeared yesterday morning could well have been the well known and widely reported iPhone4 aerial problems.  Just now, whilst fiddling with my phone I noticed the signal suddenly disappear in exactly the same way – but moved my hand from that bottom left hand corner and watched the five bars return instantly.  Next time, will someone please give me a nudge and remind me to hold the phone more carefully?

 

Yes, thank you, Apple, I have got a complimentary rubber bumper, custom made with holes in all the right places and fitting perfectly.  Trouble is, the hole for the charging cable is ever-so-slightly too small to accommodate the manufacturer supplied charging connection, meaning that every time I plug it in, I have to remove the bumper.  After three days I decided not to put it back on.

Such clever design.  Such irritating design.

would something hot ... who knows what ... enlarge the hole enough? I know that having the new hot thing is one of the ways to find out what is wrong with it, but this one has been a comedy of errors..... I just wait for version 4 when most of the kinks have been worked out, the price has come down ... and most important .. my two year contract has expired. Actually, I think the last is the real reason <VBG>

it IS cute, though

My contract did expire recently and I got a tiny sony phone which is lovely but, so far, quite maddening. I couldn't justify the iphone having shipped in an ipad as a treat. I think I've peaked technologically - I can't cope with all the different upgrades and systems and whizziness although I'm always swayed by something black and shiny with a touchscreen. How do you blog from your phone???
