Fixed

I've somehow managed to fix my Hero. WOO HOO! All i did was uninstall a few things. The bigger apps, that take up the most space. And it seems to have fixed it. However, i have encountered a new problem.

I have been cut off. Again. i did get cut off before (since i have a £700 phone bill), so i paid £50, then they got paid normally by direct debit (£15), which seemed to have got me back online (i only want it for internet anyway). But lo and behold, a couple of days later, it's gone again.

I should be able to use my Nokia N95 as a wireless access point, but i tried it today and it didn't work. And then i had to restart the phone because the internet wouldn't work, so i'll try it again if i need to.

Anyway i just wanted to make a quick blog saying that. Oh, and i also have an ulcer on my lip. That hurts.

That's all, byeee

Back Stabbed

Someone i love dearly has recently backstabbed me. That is technology. More specifically, my android phone that i love so much, my beautiful Google Nexus S, has recently had trouble charging. I've tried several leads and they all don't seem to work too good. However, the normal wall charger seems to work fine, although that's no use when i'm at work. So i took it back to where i got it, the Carphone Warehouse. The hot foreign blonde girl took it into the back for a few minutes, came back and said they need to send it off to the manufacturer. Which would take about 4 weeks. Yep, 4 WEEKS. What the fuck takes them 4 weeks?!

Anyways, i've had to resort to using my other android phone, my HTC Hero, which i use a bit anyway, and my even older phone, the Nokia N95. Not touch screen. Retro. I've also been having trouble with the Hero. The screen isn't very good anymore. And when it's a touch screen phone, that ins't good. especially when you try to use the touch screen keyboard. The main problem seems to be the L on the keyboard, i can't directly touch it. I have to touch the K and slide over to the L. Also, occasionally it randomly types letters or clicks things or zooms in/out of web pages. However, i have found a solution to the typing problem. A bluetooth keyboard. It never used to work but does now for some reason. Maybe they integrated into android 2.3.5 or they just put it into the custom rom i use. Good old Cyanogenmod.

Naturally my increased usage in my Nokia means i have to take a charger to work. It doesn't charge over USB, luckily i have an old charger that plugs into the USB into a computer and the other end into the normal charging hole. That works fine.

One more thing that has failed me recently, in fact it;s failed a LOT of people, is Dead Island on PS3. I play it, it saves at checkpoints, i stop playing and play the next day or whatever, then when i go back, i'm back many missions earlier. and i played it for several hours one day, going through several missions, hoping there were like more major checkpoints it saves at, but no, i'm still back loads of missions. So i'm not playing it again until there's an update.

And you all know about the PS3 backup that failed to restore properly (or back up properly), assuming you read that post. So yeah, technology hates me. AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR IT! ALL I'VE EVER DONE IS LOVE YOU!

I'm going to eat ice cream and watch The Notebook while i cry

Realisation

OK, so I've thought of something. I have Google adsense. For those of you that don't know what that is, it means I get paid for having ads on websites I have. So far, the last time checked, I hadn't earned any money at all. And what I've realised is I think I need to make more blogs to get some cash. The more I make, the more it'll get linked to from Google, which means I'll get more readers, which means hopefully people well click on ads they see, which means I get my money.
Since I haven't had any yet, I don't know how much I'll get. Probably not even that much. As well as people not actually liking ads, and ignoring then, there's also something else that's going to stop me getting monies. Adblockers. So people might not even see my ads if they have adblockers.
So if you have then enabled, disable them on this page. For me. Every little helps. Even though it'll probably be just a few pence
On a related note, I'll also accept donations via Paypal :D The email for that is micolps3@gmail.com. (except for Andrea)
Anyway I just wanted to get they off my chest. I started this blog at about 4pm and it's now 5.45. Work has been very busy.
So see you all next time

Freaky Friday

So I've just found on the android market the official blogger app. I wish i'd known about it sooner. It would have made mobile blogging easier. Not like I would have anyway.
Anyways, what I wanted to tell you about today is a slight but annoying issue I had yesterday.
So for a while I've been wanting to exchange my fat ps3 for a slim one. So obviously I backed up all my data from the old one onto an external hard drive, got the slim one, restored my data. And it restored the game saves. But not all of them. Actually most. Except the one I wanted. Deus Ex. It didn't even restore the games. None of them. As far as I can tell, it's restored all of my game saves except Deus Ex. That's all it's restored.
Whether it's because it's on a different console I don't know. But I really wanted my Deus Ex save. I got really far on it. I do have a game save on there personal cloud that Sony give to PSN users, but it's several days old. It's really annoying that that's the only game save that didn't back up.
So yeah, that's what I wanted to rant about. It's 7.30 am on Saturday morning, I'm at work and I didn't get much sleep last night, as usual. I never do when I have to be up early for work. That's annoying.
On a side note, I've decided to stop buying Ribena because it has a lot of sugar in it. So I've started buying Oasis instead. That has less sugar. And hopefully gets rid of my thirst better. I find all too many drinks don't make me much less thirsty, they just make my throat wet (that's what she said).
This is actually turning out to be quite a long blog. At least on my mobile. Obviously on a widescreen monitor it'll be shorter. But it's still quite long for one of blogs. I'm just talking crap aren't i. I'll shut up
