A digital misfit

ooo, the fun to be had – my thought: passports containing rfid giving out address information would make airports a burglars paradise. Do American passports currently contain address information? Ours don’t, do they? The UK passport office need an address to send the passport back to, or you can go to the office to pick it up (do they take an address then?). But it never goes into the passport itself.

Must go visit the US before they close their borders completely.

Directions:

From London – Take M11 until the end (this is junction 12 or something), where it meets the A14. Follow A14 Eastbound.

From Midlands – Take A14 toward Cambridge

From Norwich – Take A11, then A14 toward Cambridge

Then, from A14 take the Milton/A10 exit. Theres a roundabout with part time lights, take the turning near Tesco signed Milton. Straight over the first roundabout (Tesco on your left), take the third left into The Rowans, then the first right, my house is a little way down on the right, no 345.

From Kings Lynn (you just have to be different, don’t you?) – Take A10, then just as you are nearing Cambridge follow the sign for Milton (just after Landbeach and Waterbeach), straight on while the A10 veers right. Go through the village, past the little green down the high street, over the zebra crossing. Take the second on your right (the first is a kinda weird private road thing), The Rowans, then first right again, then house on right.


Arrived at my new house, and in the process of unpacking. Many thanks to , and for their help…good to see Bob again after such a long time…

Of course, I’m still surrounded by chaos. But that is being eaten away as I find ledges on which to balance things and ways of hiding the empty boxes inside each other. Theres still a way to go.

So now I can start filling my social calendar again. Anything going on in Cambridge or the south-east quarter of the country over the next few weeks/months?

Needless to say, if you’re a non-local passing Cambridge(ish) give me a shout and we’ll see if we can meet up…

Housewarming party in due course – mail me for more info and/or directions.


Proper update coming rsn, in the meantime, heres another linkblast:

Bunch of tossers – sadly no comment on the manufacturer of the phone in question, but I’d lay money it was an Ericsson.

TV more distressing than previously thought – “…your TV that could have the Feds knocking at your door”, and salvation – Altman’s key-chain fob was…a new universal remote that turns off almost any television.

Nokia supporting the Finnish economy – what else do they make in Finland? Paper. Stone. Scissors?
