So while this may not be the most personal day in the calendar it was still a day to remember. History was made yet again by Apple by creating a device that has been around for YEARS and a tablet computer is now finally seen as a desirable, practical, powerful and cheap product to own. You could argue it’s good timing technology wise but lets face it… No one else has released anything remotely similar!

26th Jan 2010:

Yes, thats right. This is how the morning of my 26th of January started. It CANNOT be all that bad ey!

Damn you Flickr. Why do you annoy me so. Passwords, usernames don’t work. Who uses Yahoo these days anyways! Argh, I think i will give up with my Project 365 however i will still try and post images regularly to keep things on my blog a little more fun :-)

25th Jan 2010:

A bit of ride the train for Georgi’s birthday before going to the works. you should be made aware that this is definitely not the extent of the amount of alcohol consumed on this fine night.

Ahhhh! I’m computer-less for the next few days till my ‘new’ Macbook arrives. What to do with my life! I think I’ll just be spending more time on campus using the university Vista machines. So expect a delay on Project 365 photos. Unless it’s on my iPhone you won’t be seeing them for a few days.

Have a good week y’all. God bless iPhone Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr!

24th Jan 2010:

Today can be easily summed up like this… HELLLLL YEEAAAAHHH!!! Almost 2 years old and i sold it for £10 MORE than i originally paid for it!

I got carried away last week and sorta bought a Unibody MacBook from eBay unnecessarily for £650 so i thought i would sell this one and thank the heavens i broke even. Means i’ll be without a computer for a few days though :-(

23rd Jan 2010:

You see these foul looking bad boys. They have lasted me 4 good years and show no sign of giving up. Originally bought for £17.50 they are most probably the physical item that I have and have lasted the longest.

22nd Jan 2010:

There is nothing worse than being Facebook raped therefore i thought a change of password was in order… Excellent. No more fraping by my mates… Wait, uh-oh… What was my new password again?! Yes, i forgot only an hour later and it took me ages to finally get the correct phrase!

21st Jan 2010:

Icant say that helping (which means standing there, holding the bottle and ringing down morale with innapproproate insults) was the most masculine way to spend my time but it was amusing none-the-less :-)

20th Jan 2010:

Brand new and in a tesco’s near you! Little bites of delicious chocolatey caramely heaven… Yummmmmm.

19th Jan 2010:

My lecture notes may not have been appropriate when it comes to my Databases module, however it did provide some much needed entertainment between the listening process!

I recently saw Rachel Callaghan was doing a little thing on Facebook where she would take a new photo every day and put it up. I thought it was pretty ingenious and have been keeping track of that. I then got a twitter message from @im_cyrina where she suggested that i do a Project 365 where i responded in some confusion. Turns out the idea of taking a picture every day for a year is not so new!

So this is what i attempt to do. Everything is in a picture and everything is done myself but it wont be limited to photo’s that i have taken. Some may be interesting stories in a picture. The description will be just as important as the image itself. I’ll be posting them all to Flickr each day and i hope to have some sort of feed available on my blog too at some point. I hope you enjoy it, I hope i continue to enjoy it and i hope i can consistently have an interesting image and story to show you all!

Emily and I on the train home from an evening out in Camden town. It was really nice to see an old friend again especially before the stress of the second term begins.

I’ll be leaving her house at 10am in the mornin to meet up with Gabriella to go to Camden again, then to see wicked to then finally be going back home to Canterbury. Should be a good day!

I have finally found a theme for my jailbroken iPhone that i could use permanently (apart from the standard iPhone UI of course) and it’s based on the HTC Hero UI. I love it, and it looks awesome.

This is my main page. I have local weather and an awesome looking clock on the home screen with messages, mail and of course facebook. The little ‘.’ is my clock application as i use that a lot. Then there is the Phone and the ‘+’ is the contacts app. Here’s a link on how to install the theme.

And just so you have an idea of how the other apps are organised here is my next page.

This is basically how the standard theme looks apart from i added the reflective dock customisation which is also available on Cydia.

The whole theme is just a nice change from the standard iPhone user interface plus this particular theme just feels a little happier and more fun whilst still keeping the simplicity and almost sexy design that Apple expect from their devices. So either buy a HTC Hero as your next phone or jailbreak your iPhone!

PS - The ‘backgrounder’ app is a life saver if you text a lot. Loading up messages all the time is annoying slow and if you dont have a 3GS can become incredibly tedious. Backgrounder lets you run any app that you like as a running process so that every time you start it up it loads much quicker. The downside of course is that if you own a iPhone3G or 2G then you can really only run the one background application as the phone will run very slow otherwise. And it will drain the batter life a little quicker.

Final P.S - ‘Cycorder’ is another great app for jailbroken phones so that you can record video! Basic i know but again very nice to have.

So you’ve just made the massive switch to Mac and your shitting yourself. Where is Internet Explorer? Answer: Safari. Can i get Microsoft Word for Mac?! Answer: Yes. Crap where is the hash key? Answer: Errrr.. price shift and then… ummm. huh. Where the hell is it?!

I’ll save you a lot of time. Just hit ‘alt’ then 3. That’s it… I had to use it for the first time since owning a Windows keyboard all those years ago and i was stumped! Learn something new everyday!
