Phone and EDCL cont

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-17 - 15:22:44

Wow, finally I have uploaded a pic! Twas of the morning sky yesterday as I waited for someone to let me into the office (8am ish)!
The Nokia PC aplication is really easy to use, and as I've never sonnected any phone to a computer before, and had it up and running in a bout 5 mins (install times), it really is very easy!

This morning I was EDCLing again, and found I had passed the last module. I did some more of the Word Processing module, and got as far as the preassement test, did that, and afterwards was told that I'd completely skipped 2 questions lol! Must have been the practice papers, I did 2 and they both took ages! That and the knowledge that my replacement PS2 was sitting at my feet obviously didn't help my concentration! I would have passed though, which is a relief, wouldn't want to do that on the actual test and get failed for it!

So I got to learn all about mailmiser, which I found easier than fecking about with tab markers etc. Hooray, I can now mail loads of people at once. Sniff, this is actually really helpful for my job, and will definitely come in handy on Monday, as I've got a mailshot to do!

So the new PS2 is tiny! smaller than a wii! Is so dinky, I love it to bits! And now I can finally play Ratchet and Clank size matters! lol, if my PC actually had more than one ethernet port I could prob have just plugged in my PS3 and got the backwards compatibilty patch thing, as it is I've got am ethernet to USB thingy arriving next week, so I could have waited... but backwards compability isn't perfect, so I may have ended up getting very annoyed! I like this way much better :)

Squirrel Fishing

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-16 - 14:27:39

Ok squirrel fishing is where you get some monkeynuts, a piece of string, and lure a squirrel. The goal being ending up with a squirrel in your hand, so you can very gently pet it.

The thing is I don't know any good fishing sites around Lincoln, though I have seen a squirrel in a very small wooded area on the bus route to/from work, it's not really an area you can spend alot of time in! and I'm not in the slightest bit snobby! I just have absolutely no desire to be annoyed my demon children when I'm trying to play with nature!

Sigh, I used to live on the Isle of Wight, and you couldn't get away from squirrels! not that I'd want to, I love fluffys!
Haven't been fishing since I moved up here, lame!

Anyone know someplace good? remember I'm a pedestrian!

Nokia 6300 cont

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-16 - 13:44:41

Ooo I've worked out the vibrate function! seems to be controlled by the ring volume, there is an option to turn off ringing, but another for ring volume. I can now actually feel a text when the phone's in my pocket, wow!

The camera is actually way better than the Motorola's, and has a slightly crappier version of a camcorder, but it's still decent. took a nice pic this am, will try to upload it this eve if I remember!

The calendar feature is just as good as the Motorola's, though the dates are less visible, it does show today's markers on the home screen so it evens out.

I never play games on phones so can't comment, but I imagine they's be quite hard to play on these tiny buttons! Sure large screen in nice, but buttons for game play would need to be bigger/more spaced out, even for my tiny hands!

I also never use the internet on phones, as I've got perfectly good broadband at home, and at work, so no point! In an emergency I'm sure the phone function will be sufficient!

OCD

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-15 - 15:54:11

There's a new bloke that started today, he keeps staring at me, my partner in crime, and a young lad that works here. It's very disturbing!
He also mutters very quietly whenever he changes position, or puts on his glasses. He only drinks redbull (other drinks are available!) and seems to think that farting in a group environment is fine!
Bloody go to the lavs like everyone else! (not us girls obviously, lol!)

I think he's OCD : obsessive compulsive disorder, which is ok, but am not liking being stared at :(

Friends!

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-15 - 11:04:25

Wow! Friends, plural, lol!
I really am a complete novice at this blogging malarky, as I had no idea when it was ok to invite!
missmay has filled me in so all is good!
I must admit I'm only going to be friends with people who's blogs I like, I'm not after as many as possible! So my friend list is also my 'blogs i like' list.

Hmm, I may even venture into actual pictures soon! Tho I am quite shy so it'll be readers wives rules!

Nokia 6300

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-15 - 10:52:26

Hmm, new phone is ok to use, but I prefered the Motorola's predictive text, as it shows the predicted word and you don't have to spell so much! Lazy I know!
Also the keys are a tad smaller on the Nokia, but thankfully I have tiny, delicate girly hands so I'm fine, I just need to readjust.
The menus are easy to navigate, however the vibrate mode is weak as hell, and I can't seem to find a place to adjust it. I may have to look at the manual!
My lovely earphones don't fit in the port on the Nokia, so the radio I was looking forward to is defunct. Unless I can find an adapter... Sigh, that's the problem with being petite, normal earphones don't fit in your ears, I laughed so hard when I saw the Ipod earphones that came with it, I damn near wet myself! Course there are benefits to being so delicate... ;)

On the Motorola I tended to leave it on vibrate only, so the crappy vibrate function on the Nokia is a bit annoying, however there is a 'flash' feature on the Nokia which is almost as handy: there are 2 blue flashy bits on the sides, which are quite discreet and I notice them just as much as I would vibration.

All in all it's a great phone, I just need to get used to it!

Oooo, get me!

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-14 - 14:53:27

LOL, spend money to save money, got a pro account! Then was able to activate adsense, so theoretically making money in the long run. I am very sceptical!

At least i actually mangaged to work all this out, and am not a complete idiot :)

Phone!

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-14 - 14:11:48

Oooooo! Shiny!! And it's got a micro sd card, dinky! Frickin wicked! I am being incredible impatient about charging the bugger, my mate at work says I shouldn't touch it for 24hrs! ha, maybe, will leave on charge when I get home, but there will be a hour while i'm on/waiting for the bus, so I think I'll take a chance and see if it works!
Hmm, I've got to transfer my pictures from my old phone at some point, which may involve my computer, ooo get me!
I did my 3rd module's test yesterday, and was pretty easy, though there were a couple of questions which were very jargony, so I may have cocked them up, I hate Jargonese!
The word processing module is actually quite interesting, as word seems to have a huge amount of features that I've never used! Though it too contains lots of Jargonese :(

Parcel Force Automatic Voice Thingy

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-14 - 09:31:42

I had to have a parcel sent to a local post office yesterday, and i reall, really hate Parcel Force's auto system, so i told it to f off, and it put me through to an operator, and apologised for my not liking it! pmsl!
I seem to remember getting fed up on a previous phone call and saying 'operator' clearly, and it did the same thing.

My new phone is arriving at my work address, since they only deliver between 9am and 5pm. Saves a hell of a lot of hassle!

Hey!

by kendersrule @ 2008-05-13 - 16:07:58

There are already ads on my blog, how cheeky is that?! I have no idea if it's the same as adsense, lol, ecdl doesn't seem to be helping much!

Oh well, at least I've now switched my sim deal to a better deal. Same provider, but have locked myself in for 2 years, but 100 mins and unlimited texts cost me £20 a month, which is a very good deal, as i use up LOADS of texts! I also get a spanky new phone, which is being sent to my work address as it's delivered only between 9am and 5pm. Is a Nokia 6300, so is free! was the best one i could find that liked on the free list, i personally have very little interest in new phones, my current one is my third in 10 years! It's also my sister's old phone, as she gets a free one every year. She makes a packet selling them on ebay! But i must admit i am quite excited about this one, mainly because it's free!
It's got a radio and some kind of dictaphone, ooooo!
I'm such an old fogey!
