I’ve been using my Android phone for a lot of my interactions with the interwebs lately, which admittedly left me with some, shall we say interesting spell corrections from the Hero’s tiny little on-screen keyboard (I’m using it now and have only just thought to turn it on it’s side to make the keyboard more usable), but one of the apps that I really should use now is WordPress for Android (WP4A), especially as they released an update pretty much just for me.

So I’m sat trying to get an old HP printer working on an operating system it clearly wasn’t designed for, for no actual reason other than to see if I can. I’m sure there are more elegant ways of doing this, and simpler, if I could get the virtual pc to see the rest of the network, but installing DotNetFX on a virtual XP install does seem a little over the top.
Well it’s either that or watch Big Brother with Toni.

It’s all the rage you know.
Well, having had the email from the nice chap at @BTCare we received a letter stating our Weekend and Evening Plan would expire in May 2011. We also received another letter saying the same again, except it said not to worry, out BT Total Broadband was still in place.
We have never had BT broadband, so as you can imagine I was slightly concerned by this.
Anyway, I just had a call from them basically saying something had fucked up, and our contract would in fact be up in December, not next May like the letters say.

It’s amazing what damage a bad piece of customer service can do for a company. Up until now I’d say I was a happy customer of BT’s, but that one phone call yesterday turned me against them completely. Then out of the blue a tweet from their online help account.

Well, I never expected this.
After my previous little rant on here and twitter, a BT representative has gotten in contact and asked to look into our problem. After about 3 hours crafting a reply, removing all expletives and personal attacks, rewriting it from scratch and trying to sound like the reasonable person I really am, I think I’ve put together a well argued case. OK, so maybe not particularly well argued, but we’ll see if BT can come up with the goods (well take the goods away without putting a family into debt in order to cancel a service we really don’t want).

BT are a bunch of thieves. Their company policy is designed to confuse consumers. Having decided that a half meg is simply not enough and BT are unable to do anything to the line to correct this (we’re a fair old way from the exchange, I accept this) we have decided to cancel our BT line and get VirginMedia.

After visiting friends for the weekend the lady in my life persuaded me to buy Singstar for her. We ordered it Saturday evening and all week she’s been like a giddy schoolgirl waiting for it to arrive. That happened today.

Well, we’ve had a lovely meal at pizza express, opposite the cathedral, where I proposed. We were starving beforehand but we’re both nicely filled now (not like that you dirty bastards) and heading home for a nice cuddle in front of a film or something.
We really should do this more often.
And we’re in. The move went surprisingly well, all considered, hopefully we’ll get our deposit on the old place back soon and all will be well.
