My latest toy!


It's a second hand Palm Tungsten T3, purchased from Ebay to replace the Psion 5x that recently died a horrible screen death. Needless to say, it's tempting me to play with it a lot, but I'm hoping to just explore it in little nibbles than spending days gorging on exploring its functions.

I blame Charlene Teglia who recommended this particular PDA to me on Twitter.

new toys, new procrastinations

I am so naughty. I will do anything rather than buckle down to my writing. I'm always looking for new techno doohickeys and whotnots to play with rather than apply myself to the serious business of writing.

Yesterday, I signed up for Facebook again, because a good buddy of mine has just joined. I was in Facebook a while back, but as 'Wendy', but I've now joined as 'Portia' instead. Bit schizo of me, I know, but there you are... If you're a Facebook nut, look for me as Portia Da Costa.

I've also just installed the spiffy new Firefox v.3! Very swish and nifty. Bit of a panic now and again, of course, when things don't work quite the way they used to, but you soon get used to the new versions of things... and I think I'm going to like the new Fox.

I've also installed Twitterfox, to further feed my Twitter addiction. Which means all I have to do is click a little 'T' in my status bar in order to 'tweet'!

My new toy!


It's my new mobile phone. Chosen, after exhaustive research, for these key reasons:
  1. It's on the O2 network and that's advertised on the telly by the delicious Sean Bean
  2. Apparently this special edition stainless steel handset is used for several seconds in the Casino Royale movie by James Bond himself!
How's that for logical and rational technology shopping! LOL
