- A crip and his iPhone and How To Make Your Own Ringtones

Posted August 13 2008
I finally succumbed to temptation and bought myself an iPhone and it seems that all my worrying about my hands and not being able to use it properly was almost entirely unnecessary. I thought about it a lot beforehand and ended up trusting that I have a knack for developing little tricks and methods of getting things done albeit in an unusual way. As… - Call me Mr. Indecisive 4

Not for the first time in my life, I may have changed my mind - The uncle and the chair 3

Well, thankfully 2007’s out of the way and we can all get on with making 2008 a decent year. I only have one rule for everyone this year: no-one is allowed to die. Seriously. If anyone I care about dies during 2008 then I’ll fucking kill them. - The jury is in 6

The weekend in Southampton was great and, as hoped, Tugger let me get my grubby fingers on his iPhone whenever I whined and pleaded. - I *really* want an iPhone 7

… but I’m not sure if I should get one. - Meow 6

Well, it’s been a little over three weeks since my last proper update so I’ve forced myself at fingers-looking-like-a-gun point to write another. - A kettle! A DVD! A CD! 6

Hi. My name’s Timmargh and I like to dress up as a gorilla and dig for worms in the garden whilst humming “My Baby Just Cares For Me” by Nina Simone. - A new car! 8

In amongst what is increasingly turning out to be an unbelievably shit year already, something good has happened: my new car was delivered. - My new toy 7

I mentioned briefly in my previous entry that I’d ordered myself a MacBook. Well, it’s finally arrived (about a week and a half after ordering) and I’ve spent the last three or four days trying it out and generally having some geek fun. - Apple’s new goodies 7

You or may not know that yesterday Apple announced some new gadgets for geeks like me to lust over and fritter all our cash on. - Winter blues 6

I don’t like cold weather. At all. Sure, it’s nice to look at: the clear skies, the frost on the glass, the children sliding to school … but that’s about it: it’s nice to look at! - “Every hard drive will fail at some point in its life” 11

I had two hard drives connected to my iMac — an 80Gb internal and a 250Gb external (via FireWire) — and yesterday my internal one died - one minute it was working fine, then it started making a noise and then about 30 seconds later it died. - Click! Click! Clunk. Er … 9

After about 26 months and over 9 thousand photos my trusty little Canon Ixus i has given up the ghost. - Griffin AirClick USB 0
Posted June 25 2006
I got my AirClick the same time that I got my PowerMate but have only just remembered that I was going to write a bit about it. Better late than never, eh? - Time to get up … erm … help? (UPDATED) 10

It has been just over three months since I took delivery of my all-singing-all-dancing-super-Ninja-shit-kicking bed … and now it’s broken. Bollocks. - I am a happy geek 9

The other day I installed the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update and, as usual, didn’t pay a blind bit of notice to what it was actually fixing or updating, so it wasn’t until I saw a picture on Flickr that I realised that they’d added a load more phones to iSync support list, including my Nokia 6021. - Griffin PowerMate 5

When N told me that she couldn’t think of a suitable present for my birthday, she suggested I buy something myself and she’d give me the money to pay for it, so I ordered a Griffin PowerMate. - Rotoflex-o-rama! 13

I’ve mentioned my new bed on more than one occasion on here (what do you mean I haven’t shut up about it?) so I thought it was time to take a few pictures to show you its loveliness. Unfortunately, because of its size and where it is in my room (i.e. the middle) I couldn’t get back far enough to get it all in one frame, and my attempts at a panoramic shot failed miserably. So, what’s a man to do? Why, of course: video it! - My second night … 7

… on my new bed! First things first: I didn’t sleep very well. - Ah … at last! 5

The bed has arrived. I am happy. Make the most of it … - Some good news at last 2
Posted February 22 2006
I got a ‘phone call this morning (which N answered) and was reliably informed that my new bed will be delivered at around 10 o’clock on Monday morning. - What to buy, what to buy … 16

Whilst I was laid up in hospital, being waited on hand and foot by many lovely nurses (it’s a hard life …), I realised how much I missed being able to tinker with my computer. This came as no shock to me as someone who, given the chance, would spend far more time than is healthy on my iMac every day I could. - I’m smiling again 10

Very soon after getting my iPod it became painfully obvious that, whilst the Apple-supplied earphones sounded good, they were bloody uncomfortable and had a habit of falling out of my ear now and then. I put up with it for a couple of months but in the end it became far too annoying to continue with. - “You might feel a bit of a prick … “ 6

After loads of rumours and speculation about a video iPod, Apple have released a new version of their ubiquitous MP3 player: the iPod nano. - Scroll, scroll, scroll, STOP! 10

There I am, minding my own business viewing the sights around the world as listed on Google Sightseeing and I begin to get annoyed as my shiny new Mighty Mouse seems to be malfunctioning. - I want a new mobile phone 1

I’ve had a SonyEricsson Z600 for nearly a year now and I’m bored with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice enough ‘phone, it’s just that my needs have changed since I got it. It’s got most of the usual features of a modern phone - camera, colour screen, polyphonic ringtones etc. - but I yearn for something simpler. - Hi-fi 2
Posted February 6 2005
I like to think of myself as a hi-fi enthusiast - don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of nerd who’ll waffle on for hours about tweeters, woofers and valve amps, I just like a good sound. - “We must destroy the doctor!” 2

I was thinking the other day about the different equipment I own and use to make my life easier. It was prompted by me having the four batteries in my two tracking hoists replaced, batteries which can usually be bought for around 8GBP each but which cost the company who replaced them 90GBP and cost the housing company 500GBP to have them fitted! - Me and my iPod 0

I got a 20GB iPod for Christmas and it’s super.
