So I’ve been living with the new iPhone update for a while now and, sad to say, there are still issues when listening to music and surfing the web. Seems to be if you’re trying to load a complex page as a track changes Safari just crashes. Annoying, but less frequent than the iPod crashes while surfing in 1.2.

Since installing WPhone on my blogs it’s made the iPhone a good blogging platform but it really does highlight the lack of cut and paste (especially for adding links, having to write down URLs so I can renember them is a little silly).

The lack of a todo app is still annoying but hopefully we’ll be getting 3rd party apps on it soon without having to jail break it.

Would be cool if the iPod had a visualiser type thing, but I’m not sure if the processor will handle that. Also fun would be allowing mail to have a dynamic signature with the current track being played in it

Hmm… tell you what would also be usefull: WPhone using text entry boxes that I could scroll in. I’m a bit buggered if I want to edit the beginning of thus post now

Sky were showing all 27 Rocky movies this month including the new one (which was in glorious HD). Having not seen any of them before I decided to record them and give them a go. I can now say I’ve been in a room while Rocky was on but it didn’t really grab my interest meaning I spent most of the time surfing the web. Given all the other films were going to be more of the same I deleted them without watching them and moved onto Borat. I didn’t even make it 10 minutes into that before deciding it was shite, deleting it as well and bunging the History Channel HD on.

It’s 1:30 in the morning, I got shite all sleep Saturday night for various reasons and it’s school tomorrow. I’m going to be very tired and crosspatch. Still, on the plus side I’ve managed to throw a bundle of cash at iTunes, discover a whole load of new bands (OK, 3, the 4th we wont speak of and we’ll just pretend it didn’t happen) and have been listening to Cry Little Sister with the volume set to way past 11 (yes, I know, not going to be conducive to sleep but I’d tried everything else, I was getting bored and it’s a bloody good song).

Anyway, I’ve got up now as I’ve given up all hope of sleep before 2 and I figured I should do something vaguely productive if I was going to be awake. Finally worked out that the problems with the RSS feeds (and for some reason the admin panel) on Notes From… was from the theme I was using so I’ve disabled it and will create a new one from scratch (I had spend about 5 hours customising it already so I may as well go the whole hog. Does mean that things will be a little fluid over there for a while and I may break it more than a few times before we’re done

Right, off to pootle about until such point as I pass out due to exhaustion. Going to be a fun day at work tomorrow today.

Still very much a work in progress but my new project, Notes From… Somewhere Random is up and running. Feel free to pop over and peruse since there will be much posting of random stuff.

I do so much love my iPhone. There is a bloke sat oposite me with some
kind of Palm type device. Yes, it has a proper keyboard, but he is
having to ponderously press each key and is getting a typing rate
about half of what I can manage. Best of all, every time he wants to
do something other than type he needs to retrieve the stylus, storing
it again when he wants to type again. Not so with my touch screen.
Real keyboards are overrated

It’s just occured to me that I can’t even blog via email from my work
computer as it adds a sodding great big disclaimer to the end of all
outgoing mail which would end up on the blog. Can still email from the
iPhone but its a bit more obvious that I am not working

So I’ve finally got round to sorting out posting via email. Also going
to look at WPhone this weekend which means posting from my iPhone will
be easier. Good news(?) for you lot is more posts. Also starting a new
blog project soon with my somewhererandom.com domain. More details later.
