tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73093382009-08-04T14:21:21.437+01:00As a software developer I have to keep a lot of stuff in my head all at the same time. In the process of juggling all that stuff I often forget interesting things. Not any more. Now I'll just post them here. This way we all win: I don't forget stuff; you don't forget or miss stuff. The Marketeers at my work would refer to this as Win-Win.cokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17607749756035381153noreply@blogger.comBlogger47125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-22848836985186029912009-08-04T14:21:00.001+01:002009-08-04T14:21:21.445+01:00

Got to Bristol Cribbs at 0540, to take my place as #04 at the end of the o2 queue.By the time I left around 0830 I had secured a 16GB 3G iPhone, but was waiting for it to be activated due to the o2 servers going down. I'm not complaining - the queue was long and I reckon there were bound to be disappointed customers.

We still have apps that rely on Access 97 format MDB files. No school like the old skool :)A buddy asked me to convert a 2003 MDB to 97 and Access kept crashing.There's a happy ending.Deleting the forms and queries from the 2003 MDB then converting worked fine.w00t!

I seem to have chosen the wettest summer for years to rediscover one of my early loves - the great outdoors. I've been biking more with some guys from work and the local bike shop and have been giving some thought to a spot of wild camping in an attempt to really get back to nature for a weekend. I came across this.

Can't recommend them enough: bike-style. Go and see Phil or Oli and mention you found out about them on my blog.

This is great - just double click out your route and it'll tell you how far it is. Today I ran this route in 37 minutes :)

I needed to compare a couple of XML config files and windiff sucked. A quick google later and I found this.

It's my cousin Andrew's birthday. I thought I'd search the infoverse to see what he's been up to for the last 18 years. I think you'll agree that it makes very interesting reading...Andrew's always had a keen interest in films - I knew he'd made some budget features, but do his family know about this? I had no idea about his spiritual side, nor his status as a pin-up for geeks worldwide.You've

As Alan says,If you're stuck using Microsoft Visual C++, these tips may help make the experience more pleasant.I use the build timing tip daily.

The net's awash with reports of overheating and crashes since the 360 launched in the US. I say awash, but it's difficult to get a handle on the percentage of units affected.I think I know why 360 stocks are limited - the console's just entered its beta test phase. Microsoft use us as software beta testers, and now they're using us to beta test their hardware.Please post a comment if you have a

Usable mobile internet at last.Before today, internet access from my mobile has consisted of long periods spent studying a low-res hourglass whilst the phone browser loaded pages. Even going back in the browser took an age.This morning I installed the opera mobile browser. Currently this java application is on trial in Norway, but a .jad file (Java Application Descriptor) is available at
