Camping in Weybourne

Car rage.

On Monday morning, my poor little car developed an illness. The poor mite is coughing and spluttering all over the place. After replacing his rusty spark plugs with some nice new shiny ones, sadly his coughing was much the same, so now I've had to book him in to see a specialist on Friday. Specialists are sadly very expensive to visit, but hopefully the diagnosis and subsequent repair will be worthwhile. I do hope it's nothing terminal, he's got so much life left to live.

Fractured thoughts

Sometimes I wish I'd made better decisions.

Sometimes I look back and enjoy memories of the past.

Sometimes I look back in fear and dread at those very same memories.

Time fractures these thoughts

.....Sometimes

Can't tweet, won't tweet..... oh... go on then.

I thought I'd give all this twittering lark a try after resisting the urge for quite some time. Initially I found it a little bit baffling, I could only seem to find half of a conversation and had to do a bit of clicking about to get the hang of it.

However....    Now I'm getting a little bit addicted to it.  There seems to be a lot of nice and interesting folk on there. and with so many varied interests, you're bound to find somebody on there who shares the same interests as you.

The only downfall is having to try and think of witty things to tweet, haha.  I'm still working on that.

Debranding an HTC hero to receive the 2.1 update

I recently wrote a very thorough step by step guide detailing how to remove the company branding (vodafone, O2, T Mobile, 3Mobile) from your HTC Hero, therefore allowing it to receive the Android 2.1 software update.  The full guide and feedback from others that have used this method can be found on the android forums. Here: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/112255-guide-beat-wait-2-1-branded-phones-uk.html

Hope this is of help to some of you.

Nintendo (NES) classic games

I recently stumbled across this collection of classic game boxes while clearing out some rubbish in an old shop I sometimes work in. I thought I'd pop them up here for any NES enthusiasts to take a look at. Sadly there are no games to accompany these boxes. Hopefully at some point I can trace the owner and re-unite them with their gaming past. :)

Iphone

I'm a little confused by the new Iphone being marketed for it's ability to make video calls, many phones have been able to do this for years. In reality it never really took off as a popular medium because most calls that people make really don't require any face to face communication.

The ruins of St Martins Church in Shottesham, Norfolk, England

Came across this building as I was driving about in the sunshine on Sunday.It's quite an eerie building with all the branches and vines reaching out from it's tower. It seems it's on the buildings at risk charter with the local council, would be a shame if they don't attempt to preserve it, because it really is an interesting landmark.

In the process of trying to update my HTC hero phone to the newest 2.1 android software, I seem to have turned into some kind of agony aunt / troubleshooter on android forums. It's nice to get the kudos when you sort somebody's long running problem out, but I feel like I should be earning a wage for the amount of time I've put in on the Phandroid forum in the last few days, Haha.

I really should get a job in tech support somewhere.

Finally got mine and several others phones onto the new software anyway and I'm absolutely loving it, especially the new Sat Nav function through google maps. All I need to do now is to go somewhere that I don't actually already know the route for, haha.

Amazing weather today, beautifully sunny and hot, just a pity I'm watching it from the window at work. :)

Sunrise at Sea Palling, Norfolk, England.

Sea Palling and South


Made it out of bed to catch a beautiful sunrise, despite the excessive cloud coverage.

Frustration

These delicious beers are sitting, calling me from my kitchen. but alas, they are not mine, so I cannot drink them.... I'm finding this tough.

Hot Monday blues

Despite this blog title I don't really have the blues, it's been a lovely scorching hot day in fact. The only down point being having to be at work all day, and the severe lack of customers (not that I blame them for doing something better with their day).
Anyway a beautiful day nonetheless.

The radio has been full of post England defeat analysis today. I decided to switch off after 5 minutes, I really am getting tired of the world cup now, it seems to have taken over every possible media outlet.

Tomorrow brings a day off, Hurrah! and assuming that I can drag myself out of bed at 4am I'm going to take some beautiful sunrise shots in the morning. I'm just hoping that I don't wake up at 3.30am and end up talking myself out of the whole idea (It's happened before). It really is worth the effort waking up for it though.

I'll be sure to post some of my shots if I make it down there.

This really isn't the riveting first post I'd imagined it would be. :) Must try harder.
