New phone / hockey puck

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

I bartered my way to an upgrade 6f my mobile, and went for the nokia 6600 that im writing this with. Emame and ssh and an ace scseen all outweighed the 6230 or ericssons. What i didn’t realise was how snappy the txtin buttons w6uld be, or that opera wd work so well over Wap.

article on the writing of phone numbers - he calls it a rant, but it ain’t so bad. It would be an interesting meeting between this guy and some of the regular expression esotericals that hover around the Perl forums
Speaking of zealous code communities, I increasingly love the PHP lot - I had a […]

Suomi Juoksee 2004

Monday, July 12th, 2004

Hei to anyone who ran in this, last month! Quite a different route (see below) to the one I ran in 2002, which lucky for me was a special Olympic year, allowing me to see the length of Finland (we began in Enontekio and finished in Helsinki).

Oh, how I miss the ache of the legs […]

Some heads-ups for 2 interesting Americans, of whom I take a right proper nerdy interest in, media-wise.
First the great Nile Rodgers, surviving founder member of the Chic organization, is presenting a radio series on the history of the Civil Rights movement in the US in the 60s. Why Nile, one might ask? Probably due […]
