Comments on: Technolimbo http://andrewdubber.com/2008/06/technolimbo/ This is my blog. It's about the things I do and stuff I find interesting.

I've watched your blog(s) evolve, and noticed how you integrate puzzling words like "Twitter" into sentences, forcing me to Google it to understand what on earth you're on about. Be it a cellphone, or managing an online Muxtape, or anything else that clutters up your palette in order to fully express yourself. If you can happily work with it, then truth is, we may all be getting to know the full Andrew Dubber. But is it the real Andrew Dubber? A paradoxical situation?

Do you get higher up search lists if you have links in your blog? I have a windows mobile PDA and find it annoying too. I have to reboot regularly (by pulling out the battery) - and when I reboot I find that I have 3 messages and I didn't get the calls - my phone had 'hung'. My reminders don't pop up any more - ever since I visited Singapore. And it gets much worse reception so I lose the call regularly. I'm tempted to get another Nokia phone because I was really impressed with the interface when I last had one.

It takes an age to switch on, needs rebooting from time to time to make it reconnect to the email server and the slide-out keyboard is largely useless. However, I like having devices that I don't care about, that I can let get scratched and not worry that somehow I'm ruining it given that it was so deeply flawed in the first place. And it does generally do the email snyching well enough and it tells the time - that's enough for me. Sorry to hear that you lost your stuff. Liked the post about the night out in Stourbridge, a town dear to my heart as I covered the 1997 Labour election victory there for BRMB radio. And of course it has the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stourbridge_Town_Branch_Line" rel="nofollow">shortest branch line in Europe</a>.
