North of the Stupid Line

Yep, this extremely old topic resurfaces once more.

You will have undoubtedly noticed that I am actually blogging! Cripes!

The simple reason for this revelation is the iPhone. I was particularly delighted to see that WordPress had developed an app, and that the app allowed access and postings to a multitude of blogs.

That means moblogging has taken on a whole new meaning, and as I’m more likely to post while commuting or bored, it has become so easy to do.

So here I am. Let’s see if I can keep this up …

I have finally succumbed to the might that is Apple and signed up for an iPhone 3G from Vodafone!

Some of you will be aware that I have deliberated long and hard over the last month or so as to whether I should get a Blackberry or iPhone.

What finally “clinched the deal” as they say, was the following three facts:

- I already have a Blackberry at work;
- the majority were urging me to get the iPhone So there was considerable peer pressure *cough*; and
- why not?! I have always made decisions about new mobile phones based on the £, so this time, I decided to push the boat out, yay me!

So there you have it, a proud new owner of the Apple iPhone. Three cheers: hip hip … oh alright then, it really isn’t that much of a big deal!

I’ve finally settled on a new theme for NOTSL. I like this one because I see the man-in-suit cartoons above as myself. Why not, eh?

If you don’t like it, don’t worry; I’ll probably change it again soon anyway.

If you’re interested, it’s the corporateid theme from TopWPThemes.

You will have noticed that North of the Stupid Line was hacked by Russians while I was away. I’m pleased to announce that North of the Stupid Line is back up as normal, and that I’ve managed not to lose any posts (not that there have been many recently!).

I’ve also upgraded the WordPress installation to version 2.5, which is a marked improvement on previous versions. It’s also more secure. So hopefully, hackers will be kept at bay from now on.

I’ll try and post a bit more regularly from now on. Bear with me while I re-insert all the features that were available previously.

I’m very pleased to announce that I have a new laptop, the Toshiba A100 Celeron M 1.86GHz 1GB 80GB DVD±RW XPPro.

Here’s a pic:

It’s SO nice to be back to normal!
