Boo Hoo Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown is in the huff about the SNP winning the Scottish Election.
He seems to have a reign of terror over the other whitehall departments due to his control of budgets - What Gordon giveth (health), Gordon can take away (Everything else from everyone!).
I think there will be a huge financial squeeze on the Scottish Executive as Gordon the unelectable shows his displeasure.
New(ish) Phone
I got the Nokia N95 to replace my old SonyEricsson and I am well chuffed with it.
*5 mega pixel camera
* Takes "DVD" quality video (big drawback of the last phone)
* good storage (2Gb memory card)
* GPS built in
* Outputs the screen to TV
* Makes and receives phone calls ;-)
Basically it is a complete mobile entertainment center in a tiny box.
The killer app though is the connectivity.
I have 3gb of data a month to play with thanks to my new t-mobile contract.
I am never going to use that amount of data in a month but I try.
Basically, I can use the phone to access the web any time I want, for as long as I want.
Not just for webpages but, MSN or Yahoo messenger, Internet Radio etc etc
I even have my own Apache webserver running on the phone!
Check it out @ http://tf77.at.openlaboratory.net:8080/
If the server is switched on you should be able to:
1) ask me to take a picture with my phone (I'll do it if I see the message)
2) send me an instant message or text from your browser
3) Leave a message on the primitive mobile blog
I'm able to track IP addresses but if you do access the server - leave a message on the mobile blog.
Only drawback of the phone is that it eats it's battery if you have lots of stuff switched on. ¶ 1:57 PM 0 comments

10k Update
My post back in Jan mentioned that I'd signed up for the Edinburgh 10k run but I was unable to do it as I picked up a nasty strain.
I tried to stretch my own credability but my motivation was fatally strained by the realisation that I F'ing hate jogging.
Seriously, I did some training runs and thought "Why am I doing something that I dislike so much". It was something to be endured rather than enjoyed.
Lets face it you never see a jogger smiling and the USP seems to be that "You feel great afterwards" - yeah, something to do with the fact you've stopped running like a loon.
How many people would drink if you got the hangover first and steamin' the next day? not many I think.
I'd already done the 10k previously so the motivation to prove I could do it had gone and left nothing as a replacement.
So I didn't do it but, in true American sit-com style, I did learn something.
Your own motivation has to be genuine as it is impossible to lie to yourself.
And Jogging sucks ass.
Oh, I did get an offer through the post a few weeks later that said I could get a picture of me crossing the finish line though. Almost took them up on the offer. ¶ 1:41 PM 1 comments

Breaking the seal
The longer you don't blog, the more you think that it better be a good one.
This one isn't.
Instead, here's a picture of a Pizza that looks like Gordon the Gopher.
A bit
