disabling emails on O2 blackberry

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:46:41 +0000

yes, i have a new shiny toy :D my new blackberry curve 8900 is fantastic, it’s cute and sleek, just small enough, the screen is very clear, and it works like a treat. i was supposed to wait 48 hours for the email services but they started working after half a day.

the only issue i found was that if i’m in front of my computer at home or at work, i get the same emails on the BB and on the computer, so i wanted to be able to temporarily disable the emails, rather that delete the email accounts. after playing with email settings and searching the forums for a solution, which seemed not to exist, i finally managed to disable the emails temporarily. you need to log into your o2email.co.uk account, and there, under email settings, go to filters, and check the little option that says ‘When no filters apply do not forward messages to device’. as i have no filters set up, it has disabled the emails being pushed to the device. and i can enable them back at any time.

Bruce Springsteen – Parc des Princes – Paris 27th June

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:50:01 +0000

As everybody probably knows I went to Paris to see the love of my life :)
For those of you who don’t know, i went to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Yes – BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!!
I must say, the gig was simply AWESOME. 30 000 people singing Boss’ songs with a French accent ;) only kidding.
But seriously, the concert was absolutely fantastic, and well worth all that queuing to get to the front. The Boss was in top form, played for just over 3 hours and managed to squeeze in quite a few stunners. He opened with ‘Adam Raised a Cain’ which surprised a few, then followed with ‘Radio Nowhere’, ‘Spirit in the night’, ‘Living in the future’, ‘Girls in the summer clothes’ and so on. He collected quite few requests which resulted in ‘Janey don’t you loose heart’ and the superb ‘No surrender’ – when he showed the sign for ‘Fire’ the band started playing ‘I’m on fire’ but he yelled “Not ‘I’m on Fire’ — ‘Fire’!”. He also performed the beautiful ‘For you’ solo at the piano. And finally he played my personal favourite RANDEZVOUS – YAY :D
Oh Rock and Roll doesn’t get any better than this :D

harvest

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:58:16 +0000

Recently came accross a very neat online time tracking application – Harvest.
I must say it’s very good and easy to use, the best feature is the
stopwatch – you can start/stop it and forget about it rather than
looking at the clock all the time. I’m impressed.
However there’s a
glitch. A tiny one, but very annoying. It calculates the time in
decimals, so if the stopwatch goes up to 0.70, and then you want to add
another ten minutes to it, you get confused. BUT there’s an easy way
around it, you can put :10 in, rather than .10, and it will
automatically convert it to the decimal format.
