• 12:40 @helenroper @vla23 @tug thanks for the info. #
• 12:48 @BrianHeys while i take yr point, i never quite mastered the BB's many features, and Vodafone service was debatable. I always get by. #
• 12:49 @nakedboy and you've woken up too? ;-) #
• 13:04 @BrianHeys yes, it is fiddly. however, except for m/n i've been hitting keys accurately. will get better with time, i'm sure. #
• 13:05 just got a call from HWMBO. Vodafone is still pestering him about not changing telcos, even tho i told them we had made the move...faugh! #
• 13:17 Off to Brick Lane for rye bread. Walk will do me good. #
• 14:36 On the 35 bus back from Brick Lane with two uncut rye loaves in tow. #
• 15:52 @BrianHeys i tried with a pencil and that doesn't work...however, i'm getting better at it. #
• 15:54 @gelodelacruz well, what's stopping you from interviewing? will they sponsor you for a work permit? you can stay here if you want to try... #
• 16:05 First tweet from Twitteriffic. Let's see how it works. #
• 16:19 @gelodelacruz great! Hope it works out. Good luck! #
• 16:20 @MrPandaBehr got a newspaper? :-) #

• 17:21 @gelodelacruz well, if they decide they want to see u please don't hesitate to stay here. u can get to Cambridge relatively easily from here #
• 17:21 @MrPandaBehr yes, but when you're out of TP there's no substitute. And newsprint is great for washing windows. #
• 18:01 @MrPandaBehr no, it doesn't leave streaks. #
• 19:40 @MrPandaBehr this is something that my sainted mother and g'mother taught me (washing windows with white vinegar and wiping with newspapers) #
• 19:41 @chrys where are u going in US? that might colour the replies in re airlines. #

iPhone update

I have successfully synched my iPhone contacts list and some of my calendar entries from Google. This is a great relief, although it looks like lots of my calendar entries (for various Google reasons beyond my ken) have not made it over. So I shall be transferring them tomorrow from the BlackBerry manually.

I am getting the hang of the keyboard. I have most trouble with m/n and i/o/p, it seems. More practice is necessary. Otherwise, I like the onscreen keyboard and it seems to work well (and pretty fast) for me.

Not so happy with predictive texting. I was trying to write "St Mary's" in a calendar entry and all I was getting was "As Mary's". Figured out how to get rid of particular predictive text entries on screen so that's not now a problem.

I have deliberately not used the manual. While as a support person I was always saying "RTFM" (Read that fine manual) and thinking "RTFM" (read the f**king manual) I decided that, if the iPhone interface was as intuitive as has been noised around, I should be able to figure it out for myself after seeing dangtri do it. I got the enlarging web pages by drawing two fingers apart intuitively, it seems. Just came naturally. Quite odd, really.

So, more work tomorrow. Still no PAC numbers. HWMBO and I keep getting phone calls from Vodafone. He refers them to me, and when they call me, they don't say anything or I can't hear what they're saying (got one tonight like that). I'd better get those numbers soon.
