- You get it? Cause it’s March?

Anyway…

I have a small story about Treo
Yesterday the screen went a crappo
I tapped all I could
And register it should
But still the phone was a no go

So I’ve fiddled all of this morning
including on and off -a- turning
Cooled battery does work
So, I’ll replace it young turk
If that doesn’t work I’ll be mourning.

And so that’s my horrible tale
about a phone and a battery sale
now do not a worry
just make me a coffee
and If you don’t you can bail.

So, it’s a wonderful (sarcasm) start to march. My phone is fraking up, but I think I’m onto a solution… hopefully. And talking about speaking too soon – You remember yesterday when I was going on about my quitting smoking going good? Well, in an effort to fix my treo’s problem I did a hard reset which wiped all my programs. Including my quitting program, losing all the records. So I have to begin my quitting smoking all over again. Oh gosh darn it to heck!! (sarcasm)

It seems like everything electrical has it out for me at the moment.

Anyway, It’s the beginning of a new month, which means a new ToDo list and as far as plans for March go (apart from fixing or replacing my phone) it’s pretty much down to four things.

1- As always – Write. So far I haven’t kept up my 1000 word a day thing that was part of my NYR, But I might start that today… or tomorrow…

2 – Quit Smoking – As mentioned earlier

3 – Find a job. Still considering looking for a grown-up job. Maybe one of those ones with an office and an assistant that does all my work for me.

4 – Drink coffee.

And I don’t have to tell you how important number four is. It’s very important.

Last but not least, here’s a random picture for no reason whatsoever –

Neener neener neeenaaah!

Meet my new phone.

I’d been considering buying a new phone for a while now. My old Treo 650 (As pictured here) was starting to wind down, the battery was losing it’s charge and the select button was getting a bit stiff and there were a lot of grazes where I’d dropped it numerous times in the last couple of years. But still, it was working and an upgrade seemed unnecessary.

The other thing stopping my from upgrading was that I’d be dealing with a new operating system. I’ve been using Palm OS for years, from my very first PDA, A Clie SJ22 and then my Clie UX50 and onto my Treo. I had collected all the programs I liked over the years and now I’d have to find all new ones for WM6 if I were to upgrade.

Anyway – I did upgrade, and I’ve found a few replacement programs. Still a couple to find though.

But all in all – I loves me new phone.

And it’s reel purty too.

It’s been a week since new years already. Can you believe it?

So much has happened already. So, here’s a bit of an update -

First up, I decided to take a weeks holiday down in Melbourne at the end of January. I’ll be there for my sisters birthday party. I got a great deal on the flight and it ended up costing me about half I thought it would. It’ll be good to get away from my hermit-like existence for a while too.

Then there’s my new phone. Well, it will be new when I get it. I’ve been thinking about upgrading my Treo for a while now and so I was looking at it again. I always feel uncomfortable replacing something that still works well enough and I almost passed, to leave it for another month, when I realized my present phone is almost two years old now, which i decided makes it alright.

I also got my copy of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Which is awesome with a capital awe. Still hilarious as when I first saw it, the songs still rock and it still makes my cry like inspector gadget when he found out he had cancer.

Also, (did you hear?), the new Doctor was announced a day or so ago. It’s some dude with no eyebrows and the name Matt Smith. (Would’ve been better had his name been John…)

And last but not least… (But pretty close enough). I came across this site xtranormal, where you make little movies. I wanted to try it out so I used a conversation between me and a friend over the net. My side of the conversation is from the… piggy? thing? on the left.
