doris day

Way haaay. The Globe has Doris Day:

Here at The Globe we like to give something back to the unappreciated masses, so Monday 17th May is officially Doris Day.

Anyone called Doris will get a free lunch or dinner.

They do great pies.

Shrimp. In a burger. Not keen.

netvigator problems

Problems.

Sounds like rubbish to me:

Due to the recent severe weather conditions in the Asia region, there have been multiple submarine cable faults which are affecting different forms of international traffic throughout Asia and the US. Some customers may experience traffic congestions when trying to connect to these areas. Our systems are in normal operation and we are working closely with partners to divert traffic, we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Some sites worked (BBC, StackOverflow, Google, Demonoid, EZTV) some didn’t (Apple, Yahoo, Hotmail, Mininova, Twitter, this site). Some of those that worked, loaded very slowly. The sites that didn’t load, just wouldn’t load and timed out.

So, maybe a mix of DNS problems and broken cables?

Seems to be almost back to normal today.

This was the first time I’ve found a use for Twitter. Real-time web and all that.

[Smartone-Vodafone connectivity/DNS was fine via my phone, so I could use Tweetie]

apple support

Great:

appleservice

Also the support number they give on their contact page doesn’t work!

UPDATE: this number did work in the end. Thanks Smog for the reminder!

My new iPhone 3GS has issues. I think. The screen goes very dark every now and then (auto-brightness is not on BTW), the screen is very yellow and the camera just sucks – grainy, dark, out of focus. It simply cannot be this bad so it has to be an issue!

See!?

We spent an hour here being interviewed to see if they would let FMPMSPD back in to HK. They let her in for 7 days. No egg!

I took, er, 86 other shots with my proper camera. I’ll have a sort out tomorrow.
