I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Opera Mobile is wicked on my new Pocket PC. It’s actually faster than IE seems to be, and I can use this beta for free until the end of the month!
The main attraction is the way it linearises pages so well. I’ll seriously consider paying for it once it comes out of beta…
Oh, and I thought I’d mention that this post is written in it using a supercool 802.11b link! What with that and quad-band GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth flying around, cancer can’t be too far off…
I’ve now joined the tribe of pointless-be-everywhere instant messenging. I only plan on using it when I’ve got 802.11 coverage, because I’m so not paying whatever GPRS rates are for it! Still, all good fun for a couple of days. Then I’ll be asking myself what possessed me to buy such a monstrosity. Ah well.
Addendum: Just checked the cost… apparently it’s $0.20c/minute. I’ve very rarely, if ever, had a conversation on MSN that good. Or at least, not so good that it couldn’t be supplanted by an even quicker/more effective phonecall.
Looked pretty nuts and must have wreaked havoc for city-bound traffic. There’s a Jeep that was on its side behind that white car… two ambulances (both empty, fortunately!) and a firetruck, and an unmarked + a marked police car. One of the fireies was taking snaps on his camera phone but I wasn’t that game, so this is the best I’ve got. It’s still a cool photo I think.
