Bummer

• Posted by Rob (#1) on August 31, 2006 22:40 CEST

Sad but true story: last Saturday I spent €40 on earphones for my telephone. And I truly loved them: these were probably the first kind that actually fit my ears and delivered good sound including bass tones. Yesterday I put them away in my trousers or laptop case, or so I thought: I can no longer find them. They're not at the office, not at my hotel room, not in my bag, trousers or even shoes.. they're gone.

As a result I will probably be grumpy until I get an opportunity to replace them, which might be in Johannesburg early next week or else back home later next week. Of course I will still be grumpy having spent €80 in total for a goddamn set of headphones.

(This is not about the money, of course. I'm pissed off because of the inconvenience of not having my headphones around. And I feel like a complete waste of genes for being the loser who loses goods purchased less than five days after purchase. I hate me.)

Update Friday morning: at the office, after all. At someone else's desk.. I guess I should worry about memory loss more than gadget loss.

Search not working on mobile

Note to self: the search method of this journal is not properly working on mobile phones. I assume the problem is caused by the lack of a no-cache header on the page which causes my phone to not post the query because the target URL is the same as the one of the input page itself.

Yes I'm a geek. Deal.

Expect more (drunken) updates

Life is good. I was never able to post updates to my journal from my phone but today I figured out why: I had not enabled cookies. I'm actually writing this on my Sony Ericsson K750 while enjoying bitterballs and a pint of beer at the pub. My GPRS subscription will finally be useful in more ways than checking live football scores and train schedules!

Next step will be to add proper MMS parsing to my journal for live (gig) pictures and maybe a transformation engine to translate SMS talk into proper English.
