Day out at the Tank Museum

We went to the Tank Museum at Bovington Army Camp today. Here are some pictures.

I haz iPhone 3GS

I haz iPhone 3GS and I love it so far. That is all.

My iPhone thoughts

In this post, I’ll argue that the iPhone isn’t a device for everyone. I’m not going to claim that the iPhone is better than anything else on the market with no exceptions, as that would be incorrect. It certainly isn’t the ‘ultimate gadget’ as is often claimed in the media. I’ll also argue that Apple are a downright stupid company most of the time.

An iPhone.

Debt Collection Agency picks wrong guy.

There really is no level to which a Debt Collection Agency will stoop?
This is the second scam that I haven’t fallen victim to in as many weeks. I recently got an email from ‘Facebook’ asking me to confirm a change of password that I supposedly requested. I have not ever requested to change my password, I did not click on the link. Scammer fail.

This morning, a letter arrived at my parents house, addressed to me. It was from a Debt Collection Agency called 1st Credit Ltd. A quick Google search revealed the company to be less than popular on the Money Saving Expert forums.

Those who know me know of my black hearted vitriolic hate for companies of dubious moral standards (sometimes, even Apple Inc. deserve a bashing). So as it happens, I was not best pleased to receive this letter. It’s the arrogant, impertinent audacity and downright supercilious pomposity with which they try it on, as well as the lack of details. So I decided to email the bastards responsible and tell them where to go.

Drinks with mate

The Captain out for a drink

Went out for a few drinks with my best mate tonight. That’s it really!

My science journals

Back in the day, when I was at The Western Gazette the first time round, my workload would dry up around Christmas time. Indeed, as did the workload of almost everybody else in the building. This was normal at Christmas time and nothing to worry about. So, with extra time on my hands, I had some fun. Myself and Dave the IT Guy would have nonsense email conversations, which were something of a success given that we both have a similar sense of humour. I then came up with the idea of ‘Ian’s Science Journal’. These were a collection of emails describing how various ‘things’ work. They were written in a ridiculous style with lots of made up words. Scientific accuracy was not the aim. I took influence from ‘Engrish‘ and John Lennon’s writings, such as ‘A Spaniard in the Works’
Here are the results for you to enjoy, and for me to get slightly embarassed about.

The posh wine

The bottle of posh wine, on a fridgy background

For Valentine’s Day this year, as well as the classic smellies and candle option, I decided to buy some ‘posh wine’.
Me and my fiancee are both red wine lovers, so it wold be something we would both enjoy.

Custom header

As you can see, I have made a lovely new custom header for my blog. For the background, I used a picture of what appears to be a derelict steel-works, ‘cos I like that sort of imagery.

The font is a typeface called Base 02, to which I added a 1pt black outline, a black drop shadow, and a little perspective effect.

The other images are of an album cover that I like because of the artist’s wacky stance, and a photograph of me in a box. On the album cover, I Photoshopped out the name of the artist (Leo Parker) and put in my name, being careful to replicate the original colour, font, angle and lighting. On both images I added a masked gradient to blend the edges.

This is a post from iPhone

As the title says, this is the first post from my WordPress app on the iPhone.
