Delicious Library available for the iPhone ! For anyone who hasn’t ever seen this application (Mac only) it’s a fantastic application written for Mac OS to allow you to catalogue all your media (Books, DVDs, etc.). The coolest thing is the input mechanism- it uses the iSight camera on the Mac to read the barcode […]
Easily becoming the best place I have ever been… Bank balance being severely hit by amazing shopping (gadget central and a Virgin Megastore you’d actually buy something from) and food. What’s the most bizarre is hearing local people people speak with a Glasgow accent !- well I guess that’s what direct flights, education, and an […]
.. I can actually post blog entries without understanding Arabic ! I hate location based content. For example, on blogger all the text at the top menu is in Arabic. I didn’t learn that at school (took woodwork instead) hence navigating the site is slightly difficult. I can’t get onto the o2 website to order […]
Why do I do this to myself ? Tuesday night I decided that rather than have the usual pre-holiday rush I’d just take my work ThinkPad with me (I always carry the MacBook Air for e-mail, blogging etc.). Of course it’s 2AM and I’ve just been catching up on work (due to being woken up […]
So arrived at Dubai. Realised I was in the wrong immigration queue- due to the fact I was the only British person ! I guess it’s one really good thing about being British is that you don’t need visa’s for most places. Hotel is superb. So far superb service from people (own butler). Clientele seems […]
My prediction was totally correct – 3hr delay on the flight. Strange arriving at the hotel to be greeted with ‘morning’ (as opposed to evening)…
Blogging in-flight (but not in-air)Thanks to British Airways, ‘The Worlds Favourite Airline’ but sadly ‘Not the Worlds Most Punctual Airline’ this post comes from in-seat whilst my BA flight to Dubai is stuck at gate A18 of Terminal 5. Yes no surprise, like every BA flight I have been on in my life, it’s delayed […]
Flying out to Dubai on holiday Wednesday. Of course I’ve been in the office since 7AM this morning and at my desk at home still (10PM). I loathe summer holidays as there is always a deadline that needs to be hit before I go. I recall when I worked in Engineering I’d have to stay […]
Rest assured I was already watching the keynote briefs. O2 tell me that the new iPhone will be available 19 June. I get back to the UK 20 June – guess where I’ll be visiting first ? I’m glad Apple have finally realised that 32GB is a sensible capacity (been messing around with playlists for […]
Stuck in the Virgin Lounge at San Francisco Airport. Flight is 4hrs delayed. Actually, I can’t moan too much as I think this is the first delay I’ve had on this leg (which I have on average done every 6 weeks for the past few years). I’m sitting near the bar looking at the selection […]
