There are things in our house!

Things that will make it all nice again, eventually – hurrah!  Mainly in the form of plaster, plasterboard and bits of flooring by the looks of it… nonetheless, it’s all a welcome edition.
The kitchen is up first for attention, it’s actually mildly exciting that slowly but surely were are edging our way closer and closer [...]

Sapna warning!

It’s 2am in Nottingham
And we all had the strangest yearning
Let’s go to Sapna’s for a curry
Now my poor old arse is burning
Just ten minutes in the Cookie Club
And soon our fate was sealed
Chutney’s was closed, back down St James
To Sapna’s charms we must yield
Lager brings about amnesia
As I’m sure I’ve been here before
Writing almost these [...]

non-Smoking induced stamina

Oooh, look what I can do now!

Okay, my earlier comments around the potential pointlessness of jailbreaking an iPhone are null and void after I discovered dTunes, an application which *ahem* allows you to locate music you already legally own and download it, there and then.  It can play it too, unfortunately the music isn’t available in your iPod functionality, but it’s [...]

iPhone 2.02 jailbreak and shenanigans..

I had a while back decided I wasn’t too arsed about jailbreaking my iPhone, but well, as I oft do with technology I got a little bored and decided to do it anyway, having discovered that you could do it with a tool called QuickPWN.  Instructions on doing it are understandably sketchy, as developers tend [...]
