The post button is impossible to hit. You press to low down on the screen and it thinks you're trying to edit the text. Half a nanomillimeter up ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/16/facebook-on-the-iphone/ So the postman finally turned up at about 11:30 which meant I could go shower and shop. In retrospect I should have shopped then showered as I would have missed the [thankfully light] rain and I was rather warm when I got back. Anyway, I decided to do a sausage ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/15/overy-mashed/ May, the latter part thereof, sucks. Throughout this month there are 14 anniversaries, some good (6 birthdays for example), some not so good, some really quite bad. Anyway, one of the good ones (borne out of one of the bad ones) is I've now lived in Colchester for 1 whole ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/15/animaversaries/ So I'm expecting delivery of two (2) books today on the subject of throwing money away on the stock exchange. Given I was rudely awoken by the postman on Monday I figured I'd go to be early last night, get a good nights sleep and be up in time for ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/15/waiting/ It staggers me how often they have to change the shower curtains at the gym. On Monday I got into the shower, pulled the shower curtain closed only to find I needn't have bothered due to a huge slash through it. Today all the shower curtains have been replaced with ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/14/shower-curtains/ So, for the second night running, I managed to get a good, sound nights sleep... which was promptly disturbed at 8am by the doorbell going. This time it was the cleaning company who do the communal areas [either that or someones flat is being done over and I let them ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/14/bloody-doorbell/ Yesterday, during a particularly relaxing piece of lounging around just before heading to Tai Chi I had the crazy idea that perhaps I didn't need to find a new job. You see, I write applications for investment banks. These applications then go on to allow them to make oodles of ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/14/hairbrained-scheme/ I finally managed to get a good nights sleep last night... which was promptly interrupted by the postman delivering sweeties and meece (well, trackballs, but hey). Still need a few more nights like that until I've caught up with sleep, but I don't feel quite as wiped out as I ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/13/day-off-2/ I've created a Search Agent on my erstwhile employers jobs board which means I'll get daily notifications of the 4 posts they have open that I'm not qualified to do. Still, it makes this part of the job hunting process easier. Once my 'Individual Consultation Period' is up I can ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/12/job-hunting/ I've finally got round to setting up the Mac Mini again :D It had been bought to play DVD's, watch TV and play music but had been made somewhat redundant with the laptop, sky box and PS3. Anyway, I've copied my iTunes library to it and will probably use it ... http://domdavis.com/2008/05/12/mini/
