Bits'n'bobs in my mobile world

Finally managed to uninstall that pesky Ericsson software that was hanging around, uninvited, on my work PC, actually it's not a PC, it's never been a PC...it has always been a laptop. I used an application I found for nowt on the web, MoveonBoot, and it did the job. That enabled me to load up PsiWin, available here, and this has worked like a charm for syncing my Revo.

I have now managed to sync across all my Outlook contacts and meetings and can compose word docs on the Revo and then import them onto the laptop at work. It also lets me do backups. This is adding a whole new wave of usefulness to the Revo Plus which I much prefer to the Ericsson MC218.

I saw a whole heap of Apple adverts on TV over the weekend. I just find them rather irritating.for several reasons  ..it's the combination of the annoying twee folky type wimpy background music (usually "sung" by some nasally female) and the general smugness/hippiness of the sales approach..."ooohhh woooh, aren't we so clever?" that just really really bugs me. I also hate the Guitar Hero game commerical where that drug filled Slash from that awful Guns N' Roses pap sort of appears from within somebody else and stands there, looking about 5 stone overweight and death warmed up, pulling some ludicrous 90's style guitar raawwwk'n'roll poses....one spliff and one shot too many old chap.

Talking of xbox, well in a roundabout sort of way, I had a shot of Viva Pinata or whatever it is called the other night. It came "free" bundled with Forza2 Motorsport with the 360 my son got for his xmas. You know what, I thought I would find this game really annoying.....and I did!! A couple of people had said to me they'd really enjoyed it but I just couldn't see the attraction, it was trying to be too cutesy wootsy for its own good. I'm going to go back and play Doom3 - Resurrection of Evil as I have discovered it is now playable on the 360 following the Nov 2007 updater....hoorah, a decent game to play again.
