Are Nokia Confused?
Tuesday 31st August 2004
I enquired on the Nokia website, via a web-based form, about information regarding the use of my Nokia 6600 and bluetooth incompatibilities. When filling in any form whether it be online or via good ‘ole fashion paper, most people uncheck the “send me crap promotions” boxes. I did this with the Nokia help form and receiving the following…Good Deeds

Well, I have done my good deed for the day/week/month… I had four spare Gmail invites, but now it’s down to only two! The two lucky people were Lenix Powers and Jake Rogers who were around at the right time and the right place — namely #html on IRC, at 2am GMT So, I still have two spare… what to do with them is the question. I might set…Gmail Invite Scheme
Wednesday 25th August 2004
Yesterday, while in a email “conversation” I suddenly noticed I had six gmail invites to give away! This was a complete surprise to me, because, since receiving my account I’ve only ever had one lonely invite before this. Even more to my suprise was because for a while now no one had been receiving invites, but recently they have been…Doom, Doom, Doom

I have managed to get a version of the mid-nineties cult classic game Doom on my Nokia 6600 series 60 phone! It looks exactly like the original and I’m really quite impressed. I have been playing with some other applications and things for my phone. Nothing else really stands out, that I have managed to get to work. I am trying an Instant…Quote Me Dave

I noticed, while bored and browsing Dave Shea’s Mezzoblue.com, that he has quoted an email I sent him about his latest design in his post “Design Matters”. The quote actually refers to his previous design, code-named “Proton” When you redesigned to “Proton” I was initially disappointed with it to be honest. …Keep Hitting Me

I’m quite surprised with the amount of unique impressions my two identical sites on different servers have received since I started counting the hits a month ago today — a total of 4314 unique impressions My dotcom received 1573 compared to my local server which received 2741 hits. I had no indication before how many impressions any of…Accessibility Interview

People wonder why a lot of new web designers are boasting about and hyping up Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) so much. Well, there are plenty of reasons why, but over at CSS Zen Garden they are visually showing you why. CSS Zen Garden was developed by Dave Shea, the man behin…More Holiday Snaps

Wednesday 4th August 2004
What is wrong with British summer time. I go on holiday, granted I get two or three days of sun, enough to venture into the cold Atlantic sea once, but now I’m working full time during the day, the weather has decided to brighten up. Since Sunday the weather has been warm, but unbearably humid. This means hot sticky nights with no air, which…Holiday Snaps
