It wasn’t even in my previous post’s list. CRAZY.
But I’ve managed to get a just-released camera with £150 off the RRP, and am very excited about it arriving. I’ll update on where I got it from once it arrives.
Also, I am a cyborg.

Time to upgrade, methinks; my Canon PowerShot S60 has had a great innings (had it 14 months now) but I think it’s time to look for something else. Here’s my thinking… (more…)

I just bought an XDA IIs, and it’s great. However, it’s slowed down and complicated by O2’s rather over-bearing customisation. Solution?
Found this at:

How to remove the o2 active icon
1. Press and holding the O2 icon brings up the slider. You can now move it along bar.
2. Or using File Explorer go to /windows/startup and delete the o2 active shortcut. Soft reset. O2 active is not started and icon is not shown. To restart it go to start, programs, o2 active and program fires up.
3. My prefered option. If you have an xda IIs… delete it. Easiest way is a hard reset. This wipes your xda of all data, so backup. During the hard reset, the xda asked personal or corporate user. Select corporate and enter 0506 as pin. Note you have only 5 seconds or less before xda defaults to personal. O2 active is not installed and xda will work much faster and freeze a lot less. Make sure your xda iis has latest rom from o2. You won’t believe the difference !
I went for option 3, and the XDA is MUCH cleaner and faster now.
Easy peasy!

We (my girlfriend and I) just returned from a brilliant 2 weeks backpacking down the Dalmation Coast in Croatia and 3 days city-break in Ljubljana. I cannot recommend the Dalmation Coast enough – there was barely a place we visited which wasn’t stunning, pretty unspoilt and relatively cheap.
I’ll be posting highlights on this site as soon as possible! It should be noted that the Rough Guide to Croatia is a bit ropey – certainly did well giving us an overview, but was rather unreliable on frequency of ferries, buses etc. which makes planning the trip rather difficult.
Makes me wonder whether a Travel Wiki would be a better way to pull together travel guides.
