Today I have done...

...nothing. Well it seems that way. I spent 5 hours filling in a questionnaire for my nursing application to The University of the West Of England, it was all 'describe a situation where...' questions and the like, 15 of the buggers, but I think I've got some good answers referring to things I did at Surrey, particularly Silly Night and running for President, and my St John activities. Absolute nightmare. Worse than the UCAS/NMAS forms which, although they took me a month to gather all the info, were quite easy to fill out.

Then I went to the doctors to have my ears syringed... and got charged AU$22 for the privilege - reciprocal healthcare? Pah. I did get AU$30.85 off with my Medicare card, but it was still a shock to pay at all.

And that has been the whole day, other than getting a couple of Wodehouses out of the library which I am going to enjoy now and relax.

Personalised iPod Ads

iPodMyPhoto.com take any old photo you might have lying around and turn it into a rather good facsimile of an iPod advert.

It's US$20 well spent in my opinion, see what you think, compare Dancing Fool with Dancing Fool iPod.

iPod Shuffle is here!

Have just picked up my 512MB iPod Shuffle, apparently amongst the first batch in Australia - well you'd think so, it was only released just over a week ago!

First impressions

It's small - a bit shorter, thinner and half the width of a Sony
Ericsson T610

It's a bit heavier than you might expect.

More nice packaging - often overlooked, Apple's packaging dept. have done good once more.

iTunes 4.7.1 is installing, the Shuffle is charging, and then I'll have
a proper play.

More to follow...

iPod Shuffle

Reserved myself a 512Mb iPod Shuffle today at DigiLife, one of Perth's independent Apple shops, just have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive.

Did not go for the 1Gb, nearly AU$100 more, already have a 20Gb iPod, wanted a tiny 'take everywhere' thing that can also double as a flash drive as I lost my 64Mb flash drive a week before Christmas, tiny thing, easily done, how happy am I that I didn't splash out AU$99 on a Sony 256Mb thing, when for an extra AU$50 I now have a shiney new Apple gizmo coming my way?

Architecture in Helsinki

Go visit the website of Architecture in Helsinki, a great Australian band whose song Do the Whirlwind I heard on telly a few weeks ago. The song plays on the website, and I think it's great.
