Holidays \o/
by Steve on Mar.30, 2009, under Real Life™, Travel
Just booked my first holiday in a couple of years – going to Chicago for a few days in May! I hope to give my D90 a proper workout while I’m there too.
Twitter spam
by Steve on Mar.28, 2009, under Internet, Nerdism, Technology, Twitter
You may have noticed a sudden burst of short and poorly formatted posts here. This is because I’ve linked Wordpress with my Twitter account using this Wordpress plugin. Any old shite that I tweet to Twitter is getting crossposted to here for posterity. New posts here also get spammed out to my (very few) Twitter followers also.
I wasn’t particularly bothered with Twitter in the past since they shut down free SMS to Irish numbers, but now that I have the iPhone I’m using Twitterific on it, which is just as good.

John Waters bitching about the internet’s reaction to #picturegate in today’s Irish times. What a muppet.

RTE News fiasco

I have decided that RTE news cannot be trusted following the whole #picturegate fiasco. Their instant deference to the govt says a lot.

iPhone
by Steve on Mar.14, 2009, under Technology
I finally cracked and bought myself an iPhone 3G. So far, I love it. Its not the best phone ever, considering its missing some features common to pretty much every other modern mobile phone, but as a mobile internet device and ipod all in one, it wins.
That said, Apple went and changed the charging voltage of the iPod range from 12V in the old ones to 5V in the current ones, meaning my car’s iPod kit will not charge the iPhone. Apparently there’s some kind of adapter out there that will sort it out.
