Well, Apple plan to charge £15 a month for the liberty of using their Tethering service. I’ve just used another method and configured it over bluetooth between my iPhone 3G and MacBook. I was quite impressed with the speeds I got (for a cellular network). The iPhone O2 contracts have unlimited internet so we’ll see if they pick up on the Tethering as I haven’t signed any O2 things to set it up.

On a less geeky and more housey note… Me and Sarah have a house. We move in next weekend. The Broadband is sorted to come first thing, on our first morning there (very important). The washer, cooker and freezer are also coming. We both have the day off work to sort everything out (a long weekend)

I’ve still got all my gadgets to take. There is all my AV equipment to take, for the living room and all my studio stuff for my studio. It’s a small room but it’s not going to disturb any neighbors and it will be big enough to fit everything in. It’s going to have a wrap around worktop going round 3 of the walls. And I’ll just leave enough space to open the door/ move my chair.

We are really looking forward ot the move. We’ve got a nice garden and patio and the house is excellent. The garage is big and we have a nice block paved drive.

New Blog, New Life

I haven’t blogged for a while, I need to look at copying over all my old posts from my last blog system.

If you can remember my last post about a month ago, I had done around 1,500 miles in my new Civic Type-R GT.

I’ve now done about 3,500 miles. But what else has changed?

Well, back then I’d just finished ‘The Pimp Room’… Now I’m moving out, I’m renting a place with Dave Hartshorne. Initially we wanted a new place in Berry Hill, we’ve since seen bigger places with loads of room and stuff. There was a 3 bedroom Detatched in Forest town but the land lord hasn’t even bought it yet so it could be a few weeks before that is ready… or longer.

The latest place is in Pleasley but up a lane so isn’t too bad. Dave used to rent the same place a while back, I can remember going round and getting rather merry and watching James being sick in a pot hole outside :)

It’s an old house with thick walls but modern central heating, windows, etc. It’s a 3 bedroom semi-detatched. We want a 3 bedroom so the 3rd room can have the decks, etc in. (Front room means music isn’t an issue – woohoo!)

It has a new kitchen and bathroom with a jew-coozi! Woohoo. Oh and a garage is being built which should be big enough for about 1.5 cars so the Type-R will fit in nicely (or Dave’s skyline to be) Or our random joint project car which needs to happen. A Stripped out, slammed, drift weapon – Or something!

What else? I go on holiday to Turkey a week on Thursday, with Mark, to his parent’s house. Should be a good laugh, I’m just going for a week – looking to time in the moving in for the weekend I get back – OUCHSUM!
