ONE BIG BRIGHT FLUFFY & HAPPY DAY

What a fantastic day.....

I big wet passionate kiss goes out to the lady at Orange who worked so hard and dealt with my problem so fast.
I would be so lost without my PDA phone as I live with it side by side for mail, web, study, detailed journal..you name it. Heck, even
my little one would have been none too pleased either if I would have had to go down the ladder and buy some default normal camera phone. You see She loves playing a specific game called Mr.Boo which is a re-hash of the old arcade classic "MR.DOO"

Anyway...I phoned Orange, explained what had happened (dropped the phone whilst getting out of the car) and as promiced I recieved a call this morning telling me a replacement is on its way.

THANKS YOU ORANGE YOU HAVE ONCE AGAIN BEEN WONDERFUL.

Changing the subject for a mo....I have to admit that I am starting to miss those ugly faces (mine included of course tee hee LOL) from my class of 2006.

So hello to one and all....even the ones who think I am from another planet...

Bought a wisked t-shirt yesterday online which I have been after for eons and eons. It's a black dyed cotton with a wonderful and bright pacman logo on it running across the front. My daughter loves it and thought it was for her so I now have to track down a company who'll print up one in her size.....(what a lovely parent I AM.. :-)



She may only be 3 and a little bit, but every day she astounds me with her interlectual abilities. It's not just me either, so many of my friends and family are amazed at how much she can pick up and at the speed in which she learns. She knows most of the garden birds by breed. She can follow a pattern on the piano up to about 6 notes a time which is pretty damn good considering her age.
Oh, and she can type her name on her pre school laptop too. Wonderful. It's only when you have a child or children of your own that you really begin to understand what life is really about..."THEM!!!"

Oh, well. That's my lot for today. Got to be up early as lots happening tomorrow.

BLISS STATION (america is blind to real talent)


7:04am Tuesday 6th June 2006

(just putting a specific album on that I have gotto into recently)



Got an email back yesterday from Gary at Bliss Station. Tells me he's moved from the usa to Israel. I hope Isreal appreciates his fantastic talent.



IMO the Bliss Station should have been signed up whilst in America. All tracks from their album are completely and in full available to hear at http://www.bliss-station.com/mp3s.htm
Just make sure you select and listen to "FLOWERS" a couple of times as the middle 8th is brilliant and very VERY Depeche Mode oriented.

Changing the subject somewhat....I went to bed last night really bugged about one or two aspects of the website. Something tells me I need some flash involvement or interaction in my menu on the right hand side. The sketch and quick designs I did before I redit the site the other week look only 50% the same. Point is that I didnt manage to accomplish all the updates and extras that were on the images. I guess I will have to look at my flash again and work something out. If I can get right what I intend to then the site will rock.

Subject change again...

Woke up and at 6am..And got right too it. I was rebuilding my xda (PDA-PHONE updated) with a new PCB and keypad layout which I bought from ebay some time ago. I accidently broke the internal sprung volume switch last night as I was in too much of a hurry.
I'd been talking on the phone to a "friend" :-) about how hooking up the pc interface box I lent her so she could make music with Sony AP directly.Anyway..I broke the phones volume whilst not giving 100% to the project so it was my own fault. Lucky for me that when patience and a moderate amount or solder are needed...I can usually get myself out of an electronics tight spot/jam.
So now I have once again a rebuilt and pwo XDA once again but better as I have at last got the phone to except the new rom upgrade I was sent last week which boasts a much better audio pickup when recording either video or audio direct to SD card.
I tested it out a few days ago. I managed to enhance via PC software (obviously) a 2mb wav file of a conversation I had with some friends. It is crystal clear even though we were at least 4 or more feet away from the unit. Incidently, my pals on the whole swear by their nasty yucky 02 or TMob phones which happened to be Sony audio mp3 versions. And I hate them as they look like something that was designed way back when....you get the point.

Well I'm off as I have a three items waiting to be shipped out today and its important they go otherwhise no ones going to hear the music i've finished are they.

bye bye for now
