On Wednesday my cable box stopped working. At the time I was rather annoyed.
Thursday night I was at my Radio Club (even won 2 trophies - visit 2E0TZO link) so didn’t want to watch any television.
Still my cable box was not working (tried unplugging for longer periods) and missed the launch of Big Brother. This annoyed me a bit, especially starting on a Thursday, but on Saturday I found a repeat on E4.
Well I think now it was a blessing that my box is broken because of the Shabhaz housemate.
So for now, I am fine reading the C4 website and DS:BB sites for updates.
In regards to the actual box, I phoned my cable company on Friday and was told Tuesday would be earliest to send engineer. I asked about possibly phoning on Saturday to find a cancellation, but was told there probably won’t be any. 1pm on Saturday I phoned them again and low and behold I got an engineer early Monday. Sometimes it pays to be persistant.

Gadget17 is Back.
There were some problems on the old site at gadget17.symbiandiaries.com, but I salvaged some of the info I had.
The main thing was the Links to Series 60 Stuff. Don’t worry it’s not gone. I have now made tastier. Yes it’s Del.icio.us. The links will be maintained at Del.icio.us/Series60 for your perusal. Enjoy.
My own list of links is at Del.icio.us/Gadget17.
I left the office I was at for 7 1/2 years on Friday and will be starting later this morning.
As a leaving present I was giving a £40.00 HMV gift card, but am lost as to what to spend it on.
Some ideas include:-
- Coldpay - X&Y
- Jeff Wayne - War of the World
- Faithless - Greatest Hits
- Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
- Pink Floyd - Division Bell (&/or Pulse but costs £30+)
- Vanessa Mae - The Ultimate Vanessa Mae
I know this is a rather eclectic mix, but I have always had odd tastes in music. I may just go in and buy compilation box-sets instead. I would also enjoy some sort of Driving music/ballads. Who Knows?
Anyone got any ideas?
UPDATE:- I Ended up getting an I-SCREAM 1GB MP3 Player.
