Wow, I’m pooped, i’ve just come back from a 3.5 mile run… well apparently it was 3.5 miles…

Hey look what arrived today! The toast of the town, it’s a red iPod Nano. Gosh, the box is even smaller than I realised, no photo can do justice to just how small this box is. Me loves the red, it’s a nice red, as nice as a red can be. The nike thing is a dandy contraption, and super easy to use. To calibrate it you just go to the calibration menu, choose either walk or run and that run for say 400metres, and it says to you sumting like “start running now” in a darling female voice. Unfortunately, i think I must have got the distance a bit off when I calibrated it though because I’ve just come back from a run and the Nike+ website reckons I’ve just run 3.56 miles and looking at an A-Z I cannot make the route out to be 3.56 by anyones reckoning. Guess I’d better give the calibration another good going over.

Hey, tell you what, the new headphones are a real improvement. I didn’t have all that much against the old ones except that run running I’d have re-adjust them a tad now and then. Well, these new ones sit so snug in and cosy in my ears that they didn’t budge an inch the whole jaunt.

I founsies a nice little Wordpress plugin for flickr. It adds a “photos” tab to the the upload/file broswer panel on the write post page. You scroll through your flickr photo’s right on the write post page and just click on one, a menu pop’s up and you choose the size you want to be inserted into the text! How easy is that!

Not at all sure what to write about so I think i’ll write about how allay cats love to play hop-scotch.

The nights are drawing in terribly now, i was staring out my window at 5pm at a moonlit night and it was way depressing. It’s deadly silent too. Scary.

Ordered a (Product) Red* iPod nano, nike+ sensor doodar and nike+ armband yesterday, hazaaaar. My joy was quickly soured however when the order gave me an estimated despatch date of the 23rd of october. That’s like 3 weeks away! So hopped around in a strop, cursing Apple for releasing these things when they can’t even fulfil a days worth of orders so they really ought to call it a pre-order. But I just, like 5 minutes ago received a despatch confirmation off them! Wooohoo! Now that’s what you call a pessimistic despatch date.

The Nike+ Armband is freeking ugly by the looks of the picture but as far as I can work out, when you’re using the nike sensor it’s either the ugly faux leather armband where you can’t even see the screen, or you run with it in your hand, getting in a tangle no doubt. Because the sensor stops it from fitting into the slinky little apple made armband and it’s using the same socket as the lanyard thing so that’s out of the question too. Bit of a nuisanse that.

Google Documents and Spreedsheet, meet Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time and other garbage.

Waaa Waaa!  Google have gone nuts, or has my browser?  One of the two have, maybe both.  You can’t get any closer to having Safari 2.0.4 than having Safari 2.0.4 can you?  Ah well, I loaded Firefox and tried it in there instead.  It is all stylish and pleasent on the eyes like most of Google’s services but I don’t think I’ll personally use any of it.  I was interested in using the spreadsheet because I still haven’t got a good spreadsheet app on my mac, they’re either bloated and take an age to load, like Openoffice/Neooffice or they are some unusabliy limited freeware effort.  I can’t seem to be able to figure out how to do certain things with Google’s spreadsheet though, things that are must have features for a spreadsheet.  For instance how do you complete a sequence of numbers?  Usually you can just type say “1″, then “2″ and “3″ and then drag select them and then expand a box in the direction you want it to complete the sequence.  I just can’t seem to do it in Google’s.

I’ve gotten my mitts on Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time for my DS Lite.  It’s spot on fun from Nintendo and surprisingly eventful, constantly surprising things happen.  I love it!  I’d describe it as a light-hearted cartoony final fantasy, you walk around colourful maps occasionally being pulled into step-based fights.  It’s got quite a sense of humour too, in my last playing session I came across 2 Kooper Trooper’s who had been fitted against their will by alien probes and the probes were making them speek in l33t.  Seriously, they called my characters n00bs and said things like w00t and pwned. lol nintendo aren’t trying to be hip with this, they’re taking the piss out of the culture. lol

Lastly, Arrgh I want me’s a Nano Product Red!  Actually, I want a pink nano but i’d risk being beaten up for having one.  But the Red one is defo’s the next best thing and you’d be doing your bit for charideee.  But arrgh, for some reason it isn’t appearing on the UK apple store site, it’s on the UK Apple site but not the store.  Grrr.
