The docking station on my iPod has been playing up on my bench. The left speaker has not been working well… I grabbed some contact cleaner and sprayed it on the dock, and things have improved dramatically. I think some tarnish has built up on the connections – and being a small connector there is no pressure behind it to keep it pressed together. Still, it is working now.

I finally have the three SIM cards set up… It has been a hassle. Firstly not connected, and then when they were connected they had locked SIM cards. And then when that was unlocked the units did not even work then since some dopey sleep deprived engineer placed the wrong settings in the units and had them connecting to Optus instead of Telstra.

Some of my clients are good to me. One of them bought a copy of the book ‘Crystal Reports 10, The complete reference’ on eBay, and then realised that it was not what he needed – and at 930 pages it was too big for his needs anyway so he is givng it to me. My client bought it for $2 + $5 postage. It ended up costing the pour guy paid $6.90 for postage – so my client is going to send some more to cover the fees and cost of the actual auction. And I get a nice shiny second hand book on Crystal Reports.
