I’m posting this on the 5th of March 2009. I’m doing it for posterity’s sake so I can look back and remark just how shit the UK’s infrastructure is. Some people in the country are lucky enough to have nice fast connections. It seems that wherever I tend to choose to live, the infrastructure is […]

T-Mobile’s Billing System Is [Still] Rubbish
What the hell is with T-Mobile UK’s billing system? I thought we’d sorted out all the rubbish, I really did. Do you know how I fixed the problems I was having ALL last year? Every single month, no sodding payment mechanism apart from a direct-from-my-bank-transfer would work. Nothing. I tried adding direct debits. I tried […]

Broadband ‘Connected Britain’ Is Rubbish
I am currently uploading a 120mb MIR Show video at the whopping WHOPPING average speed of 18.5k per second. Fluck all use that ‘cloud’ is when I’m whizzing away at 18.5k/sec. In fact thinking back about 15 years ago, if I was lucky, I got similar speeds on my 56k modem. I’m using an 8mb […]

Devin Coldewey at CrunchGear reckons that Microsoft is in, “…Pole position to announce something like a Zune phone.” “Could this coming January hold the surprise announcement […]
Have a read of this comment posted on today’s article about the 400,000 downloads of the MySpace for Blackberry application. If you thought the Blackberry Developer’s Programme was a bit… rubbish, congratulations. You appear to have been correct: When we launched Palringo on the Blackberry in May, we saw an equally impressive increase in downloads. […]
I’ve taken some video footage of my piece-of-shit Motorola Q9 trying to make a call. My mistake was to answer the phone, you see. A chap called me with a story and all was good. I hung up and tried to make a call. Mistake. Stupid, stupid mistake. What the hell was I thinking, trying […]
We continue the shit T-Mobile UK online billing system series with this post today. Last night at 1145pm, the system was offline and not accessible. Tonight at 930pm I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve been trying to setup my direct debit, if you recall. I managed to login fine. Clicked ‘direct debit’. All […]
