iPhone Pictures

Interesting edition of MacBreak Weekly podcast this morning, saying that some pictures had been posted to Flickr this week that were taken on an iPhone. The pictures seem to be taken in a cafe 3 miles from Apple HQ and were quickly withdrawn from the Flickr feed. The EXIF data showed the type to be an iPhone and the resolution of the images ties in with the size quoted (about 3MP). The images were pretty detailed though.

Apparently there have been numerous sighting in the Apple HQ area of folks with iPhones, assuming they are employees on test.

Very quiet in the office today - same old folks out at Gatwick, but Mark & Pete have gone down for some fire training at Stanstead. My cube bay is empty apart from me, checking out some MacBreak and iLifeZone.

The Daily Grind

Really struggling to stay focused on work at the moment. The task that I have isn't very taxing and involves a lot of reading (which I personally can't stomach a great deal of in one sitting), so my mind is naturally wandering to creative pursuits. This situation is not helped by the new mac and setting it up with sweet little tricks.

Had another great life-laundry session last night, this time sorting out all the wardrobes, archiving the winter coats into the new wardrobe in the loft and making up some charity bags.

Completed the latest ubermaclife post using TextMate, another tool that I've got on trial I'm finding it really good to have the ability to blog whilst not on line (just while working for this client, although I'm looking at getting a wireless mobile based modem)

Just taken a look at the video introducing some of the features of OmniFocus which is hopefully due for beta release in the next few weeks. It looks really cool and will be a direct replacement for Kinkless.

A casual line

Just finished watching LOST - gee they know how to throw a line in!! Didn't see that coming at all - WOW! Brrrrr!

Anyway - managed to get my calendar drop down sorted.

first monthly invoice away too - so fingers crossed they'll be no clitches with that on Friday.

Memories

Over the weekend we cleared our loft, which was a liberating experience.

I found my old inter-railing photos and it brought back some memories. I think its good to have a good clear out every now and then, but equally its good to look back at times past and remember.

Managed to catch up with Nigel breifly on Friday night, before the business of the weekend.

Derby f$$ked up their chances of getting a guaranteed top 2 place in the championship today by loosing to Crystal Palace. The play-offs beckon now, and their history in this stage is not good!!

Big Girl

Florence left us for most of the weekend and went to her first proper sleep over with a crowd from school.

We enjoyed a little sun and a glass of wine - before nipping out for a curry (yum)

Had some goods comes with Glynn & Steve about some potential work, anything would be good.

Busy is best

I've been much busier today which has made such a difference to how I feel about the whole thing. There is something to be said for being busy. Had quite a lot of emails to/from the accountant today (especially after hours, I'm sure they never go home). Needless to say they sorted out my worries (again)

Just catching up with LOST and heroes

The mighty Khushboo

Met up with Brett while on site and we went for a drive to find something to eat. Stumbled across the khushboo Indian restaurant, which I used to frequent regularly when I worked down here 12 years ago. Good to see that they are still knocking out fantastic food.
