New boots (again). This time I’ll try and remember to keep track of when I started wearing them and how long they last as although I buy a few different kinds I don’t know which last longest.

New Phone
A £15 replacement for the £19.95 Motorola I’ve been using for the last six years or so (the battery was beginning to fade). Just transferred the PAYG SIM over and there was my credit and numbers all ready to use. That’s the third handset the SIM has been in. It started around 2002 in a big brick of a Philips that cost £19.95. The Samsung does over two weeks between charges.

WordPress 3.0
WordPress 3.0 was released today so I upgraded this blog to use it. Needless to say I ignored all the instructions and then it didn’t entirely go smoothly. I had to ftp in and manually fiddle with things to get it working. It all seems to be going now 🙂

Large box
Mrs Wife bought a new 30l Brabantia bin from Amazon as they had them half price and the 20l bin was just too small. It arrived next day (Prime) in a large box.

Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency
tcd004 writes “At a conference on digital media at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI attacked the idea of transparency in the Internet age, warning that digital transparency exacerbates tensions between nations and within nations themselves. And increases the ‘dangers of… intellectual and moral relativism,’ which can lead to ‘multiple forms of degradation and humiliation’ of the essence of a person, and to the ‘pollution of the spirit.’ All in all, it seemed a pretty grim view of the wide-open communication environment being demanded by the Internet age.”

And it lets us find out about what the catholic church has been up to that it would rather not have us know about.

Voting
My postal ballot for the parliamentary election arrived this morning. It’s filled in and I’ll post it next time I walk the dogs. Then I can ignore everything until the result 🙂

Ordered Monday 3PM, arrived Tuesday 11AM (free delivery). Yum!
Not enough room on the table for all of them, but every variety in my order is there.
