RSS

Somebody on TPN – Probably Richard, maybe Cameron (not about to go trawling though old episodes of G’day World and the Gadget Show to find out) once said that just about every website worth going to has an RSS feed.
I was reminded of this the other day when I got my first RSS doodad and started looking around for feeds. I went to Camerons blog, clicked on feed search and… nothing. Given the aforementioned remark this made me laugh. Fortunately I didn’t mention this before as I had a check today and he seems to have RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom so I was totally wrong. The only question is, where the hell were they when I first checked???

My New Toy

!!!!!I have a Tungsten T5!!!!!

As you might be able to tell I’m rather exited about this! Colin gave it to me the other day and given they’ve been discontinued and sold out across the country he must have gone to a lot of effort to get his hands on one.
Apparently he even got up at 5am to bid on one which closed at 5.20am but some other git beat him to it (Isn’t he the worlds best boyfriend???)
Its an ex-demo model which is fine by me as its in very good condition and I don’t have to settle for a TX (yuk!)

I’ve already found a whole lot of handy-dandy little applications to make my life run smoother. These include

  • Splash shopper – good for shopping lists, and calorie counters and wishlists etc
  • Splash money – so I can keep track of my spending, it shows several accounts and allows you to track deposits, withdrawals, transfers, budgets and a basic what I’m spending on what, where.
  • Several games
  • eReader
  • PalmPDF

and various other goodies.

Unfortunately as I haven’t get gotten around to buying a case for it, it currently lives in a sock so it doesn’t get scratched (I do have the flipcover on but that only protects the face)

The Saga of the Plug

As Colin pointed out a moment ago I do actually have something to talk about: the saga of the plug. Or as he so eloquently put it:

Tell em about how you lost the plug for the kitchen sink and spent half an hour looking for it and you couldn’t find it and you got all frustrated and weirded out and the kettle growled at you and then the plug was stuck to the bottom of a plate which you found when you were washing it!

Basically I went to wash the dishes and I couldn’t find the plug. Except I hate not being able to find something. It freaks me out so I was going a little bit mad.
Eventually I went downstairs and grabbed the plug out of the laundry because I knew that if I kept looking for it I’d probably go crazy. Then whilst I was washing the dishes I was sure the kettle laughed at me in an evil manner which weirded me out even more and I had crazy thoughts about the kitchen appliances conspiring against me and stealing the plug.
Eventually whilst I was washing the plates I found the plug suction-capped to the bottom of a plate.

250 Visitors

Well so says my stat counter anyways.

I havent had much to say for myself this weekend as I’ve been rather busy and strangely tired. I fell asleep in front of the tv at 8pm last night which took away from my learning about stuff and blogging time quite a bit.

Anyways I’ll make an attempt at thinking of something interesting to say tomorrow but at the moment my brain is on holidays somewhere and it didnt invite me so I’m in a bad mood at it.
