Oh yes.

Also, I tweet more than blog now, so if you care, add me: twitter.com/damianjennings

Just read on a board about someone who sold their iPhone on ebay yesterday for 500 usd.

The new iPhone is going to be announced today at the WWDC show in the states.

So I thought who else is trying desperately to offload their old iphones cos the new one is out today and will be (if the FT is right) at least half the price it is now.

Seems loads of people are!

So if you are in the market for an iphone, just wait until tomorrow.

So, I was at the new GF’s place and her laptop is always plugged in via ethernet. I asked why and the wireless doesn’t work. So I set about fixing it.

Look in Device Manager, says its working fine. I don’t trust it, so get a new driver anyway.

Still, when you go to ‘refresh the available networks’ nothing is showing up.

I check with my phone that I can get on the wireless with that. I can. Gah.

I run windows update. It refuses to install an update to .net framework. I try to fix it. Google the error. Lots of people with same error. Try some fixes. nothing. End up uninstalling (with the help of some cleanup tool) the whole of .net, reinstalling it. Then the service packs, then the updates, then the security stuff. Just for .net.

Still wireless isn’t working. Couple of hours have passed.

I google the laptop model and wireless problems, read through forums and blogs.

Finally, I realise there is a FUCKING PHYSICAL SWITCH on the front of the laptop with a wifi icon by it. I press this, and lo and behold, the BASTARD WORKS.

She was, at least, thankful.

Well, I think I am getting Twitter. Finally.

I never really understood it, then I tried using it recently. Here are the two things I think.

a) It is about the number of people *you* follow, not who is following you. I am getting lots of really interesting news, thoughts, etc from the people I follow. It’s about getting smart by reading mini op-ed pieces from interesting people.

b) It is now a broadcast medium. John C Dvorak got 20k followers in a week.

So, why I am I posting about it?

Great way to let members know what’s going on a pay site, updates etc. Great for sologirl/celeb types to market. Great for B2B comms. I am following some interesting porn people.

So, try it out if you want. I am twitter.com/damianjennings

I kinda got bored with Grand Theft Auto, but IGN give the new one a perfect 10. Which is rare. How much cash will it make Rockstar? A lot.

Thanks to ben for this

I have been alerted by the body-building sex god Jim that there is a fake Mr Goat out there. This is bad, clearly. So make lots of mrgoat/ Mr Goat text links all pointing back here. Fuck the imposter.

He even has a stretched fucked up pic on his profile. Twat.

My friend Favus over at www.mentski.co.uk made this pic. I asked his permission and he said I could post it here.

It’s rather amusing. Story about the nutter Diana fan here
