Found out yesterday, quite by accident, that Indy IV is apparantly scheduled for June 2006! Apparantly Titled Indiana Jones and the Lost Continent, there’s a teaser trailer available at ifilm.com, together with a brief synopsis that has our Indy lured out of retirement to find Atlantis. The trailer itself is pretty closed; it’s got the […]

Very busy at work at the moment – got a big event coming up in Edinburgh next week where we’re demonstrating our stuff. So I’m going lots and lots of testing and tweaking, but the nature of the beast is that actually I spent a lot of time looking at a piece of code running […]

Just got back from a trip down to London to see my Mum, and to pick up some of my Dad’s old furniture. While I was there, I also collected all my old school reports that my Mum had been hoarding all these years, and they make for very interesting reading. My favourites are the […]

Dreams are funny things – you only remember them if you wake up during them, so almost by definition a dream is never complete. I’ve been having some very exciting murder-mystery type dreams lately, but I never find out what happens in the end! The other sad thing is that almost within minutes of waking […]

It’s very hard to start an entry when you haven’t written anything for ages (but have thought of lots of things to write in the meantime – none of which you can remember now, of course).. A bit like writing a letter or making a phone call to a friend you haven’t seen for ages. […]

Should probably add that I upgraded my K700i firmware again; this time to R2AE033, and took advantage of the opportunity to flash it with an EU firmware (instead of Taiwan, which it came with). Naturally, you can’t do this via SonyEriccson’s online update service, but Davinci team‘s client did the trick nicely; did have to […]

Had a realisation as I shaved this morning – on the 16th July I’m going to be in Cornwall. If the 16th July has no significance for you then you may as well skip reading the rest of this entry. 🙂 This date etched so firmly in my mind (and nearly my face) is of […]

Happy New Year! And so begins 2005 – may it bring much peace and happiness.

As I was making my morning coffee, I was looking at the instant jars, and just thinking about the colours. Caf is usually red (or perhaps black), whereas decaf is usually green. Presumably this is a reflection on society’s attitude to caffeine – red for danger, green is safe! However if you think in terms […]
