I did get my new phone… I must start with the standard complaint of the battery not being charged – although there is probably a very good reason for this. Some other things are not as good as with my …
My new cellphone is arriving today I hope. For the past few days I have been getting error messages on my Nokia 6600 warning about a SIM card having issues. So, either a new cellphone will help this, or I …
I am starting to fade… I am getting drowsy, and I will soon need to get some sleep… The weekend certainly took a lot out of me… Quote of the day… “When you want a computer system that works, just …
Definitely time for a break. Right now I am sitting in my workshop with the laptop on my lap preparing to do a bit more electronics work, having just finished a couple of trackers off for a client. I was …
Blogger is still having issues publishing posts… Often I post and then assume it is saved… and then only when I come to create the next entry do I find out that there was an issue with the upload. Argh! …

I was helping out a friend last night with a computer problem… The computer would not seem to be able to connect to the Internet. After some time I worked out that it was connecting to the Internet fine (with …
I think I need to get myself a new cellphone finally… I charged it yesterday morning, and it was running low on batteries this evening. Strangely I had not even used it in the intervening time, except for an SMS …
