Glentrek are my new favourite company, Visit East Perthshire are not
A couple of weeks ago we got a card through the door saying I had got a letter with insufficient postage, and needed to pay 30p plus a £1 handling fee. Not knowing who it was from I paid the money in case it was important. The next day the letter was delivered, and I […]

Is GDI (and GDI Goldrush) a scam?
This will be my last post on the GDI (Global Domains International) scheme (probably)and is a bit of a summary. The story so far (in brief): I decided that while the many “Get Rich Quick” schemes advertised on the internet sounded too good to be true, I decided to try them out. The first one […]

BT Freestyle 3200 – “Not Possible” – How to fix
I keep having a problem with our BT Freestyle where one of the handsets reports “Not Possible” when you try to do anything. It’s an easy problem to fix (the first time I rang the helpline, subsequent times I’ve searched the internet), but I need to look it up each time so I thought I’d […]

How to disable TouchFlo (HTC Sense) Homescreen on the HTC Hero
One of the biggest criticisms I’ve read (and have) of the lovely new HTC Hero is the slow speed at times. This seems to be largely caused by the lovely TouchFlo home screen interface, which has lots of lovely features and effects, but can slow things down a bit. This home screen is just part […]

HTC Hero Post
I was going to write a post about my new HTC Hero, but instead I thought I’d wrote a post with my Hero! I’m pleasantly surpised how well the WordPress admin page works in the browser, and I’m starting to get used to the onscreen keyboard and have got a reasonable typing speed. I have […]
