Dead Phone And SLOW Internet

Came home this evening to find my landline is as dead as a dodo, and even worse my internet is grindingly S-L-O-W.

It's taking ages to do anything so I'm not going to be able to do a lot.

I have reported the line problem to British Telecom through their website. I got a message saying they will attend to it on 2nd May and may need access to the house. MAY need access is not good enough, I have to go to work and cannot take a day off on the off chance they MAY need to come in... They need to give me a time and date and stick to it.

Anyway, have to see what happens on the 2nd..

If you don't see me around as much you'll know why, using the net right now is like the bad old days of dial up!

Wirenode, Mobile Website Creator

Just added a button on the right sidebar with details of how to read this blog on the move, on a mobile phone/device. I've done this before but don't really know the value of it but I came across a new site today and thought I'd give it another go.

The site is Wirenode.com

The neat thing about this place is that you can add little pages, like an introduction to your blog. There are also ways of adding widgets and other stuff which I've not really had time to delve into yet.

Take a look at what you'd get on a mobile by clicking HERE

Why not mobilise your own blog?

Testing Uploads

This photo was uploaded from my new phone using Shozu. I'm just busy trying out stuff.. have already uploaded some to Flickr as well.

It's ideal for maybe when I'm out and about and can't wait to share something I see..

The pic is a £2 coin by the way...

All Over The Place

This weekend I've been so busy, yesterday going to Brighton to visit my daughter and to see the sea!

Today I went out and bought myself a new phone, the Nokia N95 with 3 Mobile.

So far it's been driving me mad, for some reason I'm getting very confused with it all, probably because it's so very different from my old phone. I know I'm also very impatient, wanting to know and do everything straight away!

It is a fantastic phone, able to do just about everything a phone could ever do. Just a steep learning curve for me to make it happen at the touch of a button or few!

Anyway, now to catch up with a few blogs etc...

Should I Get A New Phone?

I haven't had a new mobile phone for about 3 years now and up until recently I didn't really think about getting a new one. The one I have works fine - so why would I want another one? Well because so many of them can now access the internet (amongst about a million other things) and internet means.. well it means so many things!!

My current phone can access internet but horribly slow and it can only do the most basic of things, like show the news headlines and the weather..

So I am very tempted by these 2 phones - the Nokia N95 and the LG Viewty

One of these with Web 'n' Walk from TMobile would be ideal!

I know, I'm starting to sound like some kind of advert here, but it's just me trying to decide, which should I get? Or should I get one at all?
