Rather spookily the new Kindle arrived pre-setup to know it was mine. Out of the rather natty simple but effective packaging with a solid green feel it powered up calling itself Stephen’s Kindle. This was the 3G version which connected immediately to ‘Whispernet’ as Amazon calls it. It sort of out Appled Apple doing that. Very impressive.

Chord Co Cadenza Interconnect
A classic design revisited: based on the original Chord Chorus, the Cadenza uses heavy-gauge silver-plated oxygen free copper conductors in a twisted pair configuration. The 18 gauge multi-strand conductors deliver a more neutral tonal signature than the slightly larger 16 gauge of its predecessor, while maintaining the big, bold and dynamic presentation that so many…

iPhone 4 first impressions
My iPhone 4 32Gb has arrived and is installed and working. What an amazing hassle. Vodafone managed to make the experience difficult and time consuming.
It’s working and with a Incipio Feather case the antenna problem isn’t that significant even though I hold my phone in my left hand.
The plusses are: a fabulous screen, it’s fast and mail using Exchange Server no longer slows it to a apparent halt.
The negatives are: it doesn’t fit so well or confidently in my hand, I’m struggling to get a screen protector to fit properly and I don’t like the look of it as much as my 3G.
More iOS 4 problems
Since updating my iPhone 3G to iOS 4 it won’t connect to my Pioneer DEH-P4100SD car stereo.
iOS 4 released too early?
I’m now wishing I hadn’t upgraded my iPhone to iOS 4. It is now seriously slow. Even with the new profile from Apple to fix the Exchange bugs it’s seriously slow. Anybody else think that iOS 4 was released before they had finished it?
Linux, beneath its friendy exterior is an inpenetratable heart
I’ve wasted hours trying to get SqueezeServer running well under Ubuntu 10.04 and then Fedora 13. I thought I was doing well as I followed the instructions and installed the Spotify plugin and with the addition of Wine it worked brilliantly under Ubuntu.
WordPress 3.0 and all’s well – just
I lost count of the updates to WordPress, the Theme and the Plugins yesterday. There were certainly quite a few. It’s all working but some of the design elements don’t seem to be working quite as well as before. Drop down menus are ragged as an example. More work to do when there is time.
