I have been watching too much Game of Thrones! …
Weather
What a beautiful morning, the sun on the frost, and a terrible afternoon & evening; it pissed down, although at least it didn’t snow this far south. It was really unpleasant on the roads this evening, added to by the other idiots driving. …
Inconvenient
I wish my Lumia 2520’s windows button wasn’t in the centre of its lower frame. It’s just where I want to hold it when using one hand. …
hiatus
Aargh! #Gotham is taking a mid season break! Who invented those? Do you think my series record program will last the hiatus? Can I be arsed to see if I can find it on the internet? Since I watch it on catch-up, I don’t watch the ads anyway…call this a business strategy. …
Watching Game of Thrones (again)

Remote Storage costs time and bandwidth, transnational location adds to this; cloud storage isn’t the answer to every storage problem. …
Trademarks
Microsoft had to give up the name Skydrive since it was trade marked by BSkyB; will they beat Metro, the UK’s next bank to the starting line? …
Lumia
Yesterday, I have mainly been playing with my new Lumia 2520 tablet. …
Egret
There’s an egret outside the window in Pompey, is this a sign of global warming?
