Europe iPhone News

Okay well it's probably rumor but it's the rumors we want to hear and its from MacRumours so its all in the air and
images
just to rhyme perfectly fair (Da DA) . The talk now is that Apple have done a deal with Vodafone and others. The general chat is that Vodafone have the bandwidth to do 3G, but the US iPhone doesn't do 3G.

Mmmmm. Vodaphone hasn't really been able to make any money out of the 3G network (Has Anyone?) and considering what they paid for the license and its predicted life span it would make sense, but then as the more enlightened point out Apple rejected 3G in the US due to power and size.

We watch, we wait, and we sell family members.....

TFI Friday!

Well what a week. It started off as just busy and ended up as manic, so to say I am glad to see the back of it is an understatement.

So what's the plan. Well to be honest not a lot. The forecast is horrible so getting out and about is a no no. The jobs I have around the house are outside jobs, so they are not going to get done either. So I guess it's eating, drinking, and if I can be bothered some web development stuff (WebYep).

I will most likely however spend the majority of my computer time drooling over the iPhone which goes on sale in the US tonight. I have already downloaded iTunes 7.3, why I am not sure as it's bound to be nothing but iPhone updates, which we aren't going to be seeing until the end of the year at the earliest. I guess I just want to be part of the hype.

Old hat?

Okay so considering we had a change of prime minister today why am I caught up with the fact that the post office are on strike (This Friday).

I mean what does this really mean? Well obviously it means that the post is going to be delayed! Yes that's right we are not going to get the service we have paid for. Have you picked up on it yet? Yes, thats right! How the f*&k are we going to tell the difference?

Post Office people please. You aren't getting the love cause you aren't worth it. You have had a good run, either keep enjoying it or get out of the way, your old news.

Strange ways

IMGP1691
Okay this has been like this for a while now but it's the first time I have walked past with my camera. From the notice on the boarding surrounding the site it appears they are building a new reception. I guess this would have been better with a before and after shot but they didn't tell me they were going to do this. The bottom was exactly the same as the top, and they seem to have just cut it away leaving the whole building standing on the lift shafts so to speak. I'm guessing that this is where the main support is and the rest is just floating around it, but it does look kind of strange.

The benefits of commuting.

Well normally I read, listen to my iPod, or fall asleep on the train in the morning, but this morning I thought I would put the hour train journey to good use and migrate some of the photo's I had on the old site to the new one.

Well I didn't need the hour. Once I had figured out how I was going to structure the gallery it took me about 20 minutes to upload the 6 most recent albums. You can check out the gallery
here or by following the links to the left.

Now in terms of web site development I'm nearly complete with what I planned to do. As I have said before the idea was to keep it simple and to reduce the amount of administration it required. Well I think I have done that. I have been using RapidWeaver 3.6 from
realmacsoftware, with some Plug-Ins from YourHead.com, and must say that I am extremely impressed. Not only are the applications very easy to use but they integrate with Mac OS X and the iLife applications very well.

If you are interested in taking RapidWeaver for a test run you could do worst than take a look at Don McAllister's
ScreenCastsOnline RapidWeaver section.

New look site.

Okay so you may have noticed a few changed round here. Well for the last few years I have been using a product called SooP, an extremely powerful and versatile ASP based web portal, but it does require a fair amount of administration and to be honest it requires a little more than I have time for these days.

I have therefore chosen to do something a little simpler on my personal site.

I will however still be working on the SooP Portal product and the ScriptGecko modifications via my
Test Center site.
