Mobile Blogging

Thought it was time to blog prone rather than sat up. I went to my iPod touch apps store and carefully read the reviews, downloaded blogwriter, set it up and watched it bomb :(

Not to be deterred, although sulking that I bought the full version of the above, I then bought another software blogpress and so far so good. I don't like the tiny times roman font so shall have to try to improve that, but now to see if it posts....

A cute laptop trolley bag

It may not look it from the photo, but this is actually a very nice looking laptop bag. After giving up taking even my UMPC into work as it weighed too much I started to look for a trolley bag, but the UK offerings were either hideous, manly or way too expensive! I waited until l I got to the airport and found the cutest one I have seen, for about £100. Admittedly this isn't cheap, but no back pain and style at the same time aren't easy to find, so I thought I would show it to you anyway. I have linked the pic to the only place I could find it, their site being down, lets hope this sort of thing starts to reach our own shores very soon.

Windows 7 - my god it works!

After trying every system going on my Samsung Q1, I have now got the beta of windows 7 on there, and by jove I can finally use it for what was intended. My handwriting to text is in time with my strokes, the videos play without juddering, and even start up is relatively quick and painless.

I just wonder what lies under the lid of my current feeling of glee, and fear if the OS is fine, the price wont be!

Ho Hum....

Airports!

Just back from a trip to Amsterdam, leaving from Bristol so thought would do a quick comparison on the two airports.

Wi-fi - Quick and easy to log into a pay per minute system at Amsterdam, but at Bristol you had to go to a corner with PC's where there seemed to be a seat in front of every one. A1, B0

Wheelchair availability - Both you have to go in a way, but despite a couple of hitches both got a chair in good time, but at Amsterdam you couldn't get it till you had checked in, so don't try if you haven't got electronic booking from your provider or you wont get any shopping time. A0 B1

Lift to planes - Bristol won hands down for taking my husband and my friend, Amsterdam expects you to go it alone. A0 B1

Food - a bit unfair as Bristol is so much smaller, but still a goof offering, so one all this time.

Toilets - both were clean and easy to find, so again a draw on this one.

Passport Control - Bristol have managed to put a barrier in the way of the disabled access so you get pushed into the queue a get tutted loads, amsterdam fast tracks you via the crew lines - A1, B0

All in all therefore its a draw on the main points for me, but you have been warned!
