This entry is a test, it may not look very special but it is. This is the first entry I have posted from my HTC Desire. I’m using the WordPress application from the Android Marketplace.

It’s pretty nifty as I am able to carry out all the usual functions I use for this site such as: posting new entries, editing existing ones and validating comments. All in all very satisfactory and handy for blogging during breaks at work or when on lengthly train trips.

I would also like to point out that I have installed a new plugin that will enable you to comment to my blog entries using your Twitter account (if you have one). Just simply click on the ‘sign in with Twitter’ button at the bottom of the entry. This will take you directly to Twitter for account authentication before returning you back to the entry you wish to comment on. You can then comment as usual, simples!

I could introduce the same thing for Facebook accounts, but I really don’t want to.

PS: Bulmers Summer Blend cider is pretty nice!

For the last month or so I have been considering getting hold of a DSi XL when it launches on the 5th March. Like with any purchase I have to consider whether I actually need one, I’m looking for some opinions on this!

Yup, my replacement camera arrived today and I’m not quite sure what the Royal Mail were on because it was delivered at 7:30am this morning! It’s a miracle that it arrived before 11am, let alone that early!

Anyway the reason for the replacement is because the lens mechanism stopped working properly last weekend. Basically the motor keeps revving long after the lens has expanded and there’s a lot of hesitation when it comes to retracting it when switching off.

Now to get the old camera back to Amazon before I get billed for both, whoo!

Ok, I’m a few days late in posting this but who cares! I ordered myself a Fujifilm Finepix S2000 HD camera a week ago on Thursday from Amazon. I selected first class as my delivery option and got an estimated delivery date of the 16th January. The following day I got an email saying it was dispatched, but on the 16th it didn’t arrive. The same went for the 18th, 19th and well you know how it goes.

After the mega-fail attempt to buy a TV on Boxing Day and the Electronics Store not having the choice of TVs I thought they would I finally picked it up from Tesco. I’ve been looking at the display models over there since the end of October.
