I recently installed windows 8 beta at home and it look likes its going to be a nice and very different path to current Microsoft OS's. Basically its a tablet / phone OS on a PC, it is usable with a mouse still but at some point I think buying a new touch screen monitor will be a must, I cant see me getting a new PC period, so it will be just a monitor upgrade. I have been looking at getting a windows 7 tablet and doing an upgrade to windows 8 to try it out now, but despite being a long way being android and apple the windows 7 tablets are still too expensive. Note windows 8 beta will not install on ARM chips so you can't put it onto a cheap android tablet - maybe after release, because windows 8 will support ARM. |

Another squash season under way, and I played a full summer league too so started the season a bit fitter than usual. Still playing Oxford div 3 with Didcot first team, results here |

Fed up with contract phones, when contarcts are now typically 18-24, also iphones and windows phone 7 seem to be £400+ to buy so I've bought a cheap android phone (San Francisco from Orange - a badged ZTE blade v2.1 android phone), and just finshed rooting it and flashing it with a new custom rom (v2.2 android). It now works brilliantly, for nearly fifth price of an iphone! Useful resource here to help with the techy stuff. |

Kindle is now up for preorder at amazon in the UK (27th August). I nearly bought one when it was released in US but I wasn’t reading much then (too little sleep to read), but now I on the train most days I am reading a lot more so have preordered a Kindle as an early birthday present. Looking forward to seeing how these work, will also be useful in Brazil to save on carrying a load of book with me, well maybe still one or two for the beach! |

It’s been a quiet year technology wise - I let Flavia take the phone upgrade this year (a Sony camera phone), so I am still using my HTC touchdiamond and no new computer or AV upgrades either – although Flavia has just got a netbook! I have just bought a pair of wireless stereo headphones though for listening to TV / Films late at night when everyone else is in bed, what an improvement this is, sound is really good and I can turn it up enough to hear what’s going on, without waking up any babies! |
