New Phone!!!

I’ve got a new phone! It’s not the best or the latest, but it doesn’t need to be, I only text and make the occasional call.

It’s got bluetooth, FM radio, music player and a camera, four more things than my last one did! Lol!

It’s the Samsung E250, it is a slide action phone with a nice big clear screen on it, at least bigger than my old one! Lol!

But I’m not to sure about the keypad, it’s recessed inside the phone and is hidden when the phone is closed. This makes the keypad small, especially for typing texts!

It’s still new, so I’m still getting use to it!

Another Year, Another Birthday!

I’m getting old now, I’m going to start drawing a pension soon if I carry on like this! Lol!

Yep, as you may of guessed from the title, I have recently had a birthday, it was on Saturday, and I am now 23!

The day started off alright, I opened my presents, and then I got a phone call from my mum, who was on holiday at the time in Cyprus.
Then my girlfriend came over and took me out for the day for a picnic on the Cheddar downs.

Boy was that some trek! First we had to walk up the road to a path, and then we had to walk up a load of steps, which would of been alright, but we were carrying all the food, and my presents!

Luckily it didn’t rain, and, even though the sun wasn’t out, it was warm, and it wasn’t all that windy either!
After the picnic we spent an hour or two in the gorge going in and out of all the shops.

And here’s the mandatory present list:

And now some news on my car.

On Sunday dad took me on a guided tour of the innards of my cars engine, we had towed the car to his work Friday evening, and he was working on it all Saturday. The photos can be seen in the usual places, on my website, and on flickr.

From what dad can see at the moment, it just looks like the valves need replacing, and because its been taken off, so does the head gasket.
But first dads got to make sure the cylinder head hasn’t been warped.

That’s it for now
Till next time!

Past & Future

Well, a week has gone by since my last post.
The only thing that really stands out from last week is the fact that I have brought myself a new mobile.
It is nothing special, seeing as I only need a phone to make and receive calls and texts. I don’t need any of the fancy gadgets and battery sucking add ons that you can find on phones nowadays.

Ok, I admit it, Bluetooth would of been nice, but it does have an inbuilt modem, and you can connect it to a computer with a USB cable.

The phone that I am getting is the Siemens AX72. Its just a simple phone, that is all I need.
Firefox 2 was released.
Guess who’s installed it 😀
And then promptly installed the British Dictionary for the spell checker 😉
No more spelling mistakes for me!

The new feature that I am interested in is the “restore pages after a crash” feature. Even though I very rarely suffer from total system shut downs, the last version of Firefox crashed at least once a day (it was something to do with flash)
Lets see if I will need it!

Another cool new feature is the updated tab bar, each tab has its own close button, and if you open a ton of them they scroll off the side of the tab bar. They can then be easily viewed by scrolling through them, or looking in the list of open tabs.
That is about it for last week. Next week I will be trained up on driving a forklift.

More then, bye.
