Leopard...feature?

...oh my god, I love it. Way to go apple, I think it's great :D some people seem to think it's rude or ugly. I completely disagree. I burst out laughing the first time I ran a windows box on the same network as my macbook, and I think it's absolutely wonderful.
...keep up the good work ^_^

MSN/.Mac WTF-age?
It seems that Apple have gone and reserved MSN addresses ending in 'mac.com' as I was just forced to change mine to kleacock@messengeruser.com (if you have me on your contact list, it *should* be updated automatically, but I may not be able to see you online until you sign off/on again) ... but what does this mean? Best I can tell, Apple have reserved the domain so they can setup a Windows Live IM server of some sort. But, it's not for internal business because A) they use iChat for that, and B) their internal domain is apple.com. Theory is they're setting up a MSN server for .Mac customers in conjunction with the AIM access? Maybe all-in-one (Jabber/MSN/AIM) messaging with the one .Mac address? That'd be kinda cool...ish...

An obvious answer... ;p
Honestly, who didn't see that one coming?

Back in the UK ^_^
I'm finally on my holiday to the UK. It's about time. I've only been here a few hours and it's already relaxing. Woot. ^^
Flight was nice, slept on it. Not too bad, other than the fact that the airline didn't serve any food I wasn't allergic to. Jerks. I was rather hoping the flight would be pretty empty due to the supersitition behind the date; sadly, it wasn't. In fact, it was a pretty packed flight. Oh well. Still wasn't *too* bad.
Here's to a good holiday.
....I turn 21 tomorrow... Jeez. I'm old :P

Sony Ericsson P1i
So, for my birthday, I got my hands on a Sony Ericsson P1i. Summary of things to follow: It's dead sexy.
Symbian UIQ3 is quite nice, the wifi works well albeit it's range is rather limited, however it's not as much a drain on the battery as you'd imagine. The whole unit seems to work well. 3.2 MP camera's not bad either ^^ The half-QWERTY keyboard takes getting used to, and I'm still doing that although I'm getting better. I'm quite quick with T9/predictive text in general, so we'll see how much quicker I can be with this keyboard. The handwriting recognistion is absolutely wonderful though (and anyone who's seen my handwriting can attest -- my handwriting is *terrible*).
So then the reason I got the P1i -- applications! The first thing I install on it? Duh, an IRC client. It's quite nice to have a phone that can do IRC *well* now. Followed shortly by PuTTY for UIQ3. SSH on this thing is beautiful, although things like irssi/vi *may* (and they don't always) have trouble with the screen arrangement. Actually, it does quite well despite the screen arrangement. The web on this thing is also wonderful. Proper CSS/XHTML! Not WML! (although it'll do that too!) I can also rotate the screen in a single click and browse in landscape mode (take that iPhone)
But last, my pride and joy. This phone solves a problem (in a rather workaroundish fashion) that I thought I was gonna need a $300 GSM repeater for...
Problem: I get *NO* service in my house. No one does. Doesn't matter what network tech (CDMA/GSM) or provider, it won't work in at least one place in my house. I promise.
Solution: Using Fring (if anyone else has Fring, let me know. I'm 'cmantito'), I can connect to Skype from this phone over the 802.11b connection and then forward my GSM calls to my SkypeIN (or SIP, but my SIP account is on the fritz right now) number. It'll then be delivered over the Wifi to the Fring Skype client where I can pick it up, or further ignore it and it'll get forwarded to a voicemail box (not my GSM provider's, nor Skype's (since I can't check Skype Voicemail from the phone itself, a different one). This voicemail box automatically turns voicemails into a WAVE file and emails them to me. This means the voicemail comes to me on my computer (Thunderbird) as well as directly to the phone via the IMAP PUSH email over 3G/EDGE/GPRS or Wifi (if I'm at home, it'll be Wifi, no 3G/GPRS/EDGE coverage) so I can still get the voicemail easily. If my voicemail provider is on the blink and it can't get through to the voicemail provider, it'll be taken my Skype VoiceMail instead -- not as convenient, but a safety net of sorts (I don't trust my voicemail provider). If I'm not at home and I'm out somewhere and I have GSM (3G/EDGE/GPRS) coverage, then it acts like normal. Phone calls come in over GSM and I can take or ignore it, if I don't take it, it get's diverted to AT&T's voicemail, where I can pick it up like normal.
Works beautifully! This post? Made from the phone, by the way ^_^

Wibble de bibble.
Had a new job interview today, IT dept for Samaritan Hospice (a medium-sized non-profit local hospice organisation). Altogether it went well, I think I impressed them. Now we wait the week out and see if I'm offered a job ^^ (*is hopeful!*)
I also booked my plane tickets for another holiday in the UK to see everyone again -- 11/9 to 21/9 (I picked 11/9 cause it's the cheapest day to fly, the irony doesn't hurt either. Makes me laugh.)
And yes, I realise this is my first post in a while, but it's the first time in a while I feel decent enough (mood-wise) to actualy post. I think that's a good thing ^_^
And now, my ride to work is here, so I must go, since my transmission is bust and I'm going to need either a new transmission, or a new car.
Buhbye!

AT&T
This clip from the Colbert Report about the new AT&T (Cingular) name makes me giggle til I can't breathe anymore. I just can't help but watch it repeatedly. So it goes up here too. ^_^

This is on my site.
I've done some re-design work on my website (Kevinsnet.com) and now my LiveJournal (
kevinsnet) is powering portions of my "blog" page. The comments system (which isn't in yet, but will be soon) is separate from LiveJournal's, meaning that comments posted on LJ will stay on LJ, and comments posted on my site will stay on my site. I'd prefer my site be used, but this works too ^_^
LiveJournal makes a good backend for powering the Blog section because it's designed for it. I trust their code more than mine. They already have a system for managing posts, editing them, and controlling them in place. I'm just utilising it. Ultimately, I think this works well. I did it on the previous revision of my site, albeit not so elegantly (from a code perspective) as this time.
I'm gonna try to keep on top of this. As much as I like the idea of it, I don't have much time. But I'll try. ^^'

XM
Wow. I never thought I'd consider something like XM Radio to be worth the money. I picked up one of the radios at work (yaydiscount) and signed up for a month so I'm not held into any kind of a contract or anything. Already had it two days, I think it's worth the money. The main reason I'd thought about it in the first place is because my car has issues with it's FM radio (it works; barely) and tons of issues with it's CD player (it doesn't work). But at least this gives me something to listen to in the car, and with no commercials either. When I replenish my funds, I may consider getting the home unit, so I can use it in surround sound (whee!), that'd be quite neat to at least try.
