Nokia 97 or a cheap PS3 please.

2009-03-21T10:05:15-06:00

For me, the iPhone is still not on my list, even v3. It will be the Nokia N97 but I'm on a contract for another year so I doubt I'll make the fuss of swapping. My N96 is a very good phone. Other than that, I'll like to have a high-end compact camera from Canon, the G10 wasn't up to scratch for me so maybe a G11?? Lastly, a much cheaper PS3.

Seat me next to the quiet starer, please

Well the answer is in the question, who would want to be stuck with anyone irritating?

I wish I could afford to move nearer London

2009-03-02T10:45:32-06:00

Move to SW London from Kent

I've had to move back into my Mum's place due to lack of money. It's not ideally location to London. So when I (one day) get some decent money I'd like to move up to SW London, somewhere like Teddington which is in the centre of the big parks. There I'll be able to cycle around and go off on load photo-walks.

'Cos I always have one there. I don't carry anything else in my pockets while I'm in the house.

Chocolate always soothes me when I'm stressed

I don't really get stressed but when I do I don't think I grab anything in particular to eat. Maybe the obvious like chocolate?

Cycling keeps me in shape

2009-02-15T12:58:54-06:00

I *love* cycling. Unfortunately where I currently live there isn't many places to cycle, so would love to move (SW London where all the parks are) but I spent a few years cycling to work every day. I previously lived near a canal and the track along the canal took me straight into work. It was great! I couldn't do it all year round (as in the Winter it was too dark to cycle down) but really enjoyed the ride back and forth. As I don't drive it was also my mode of transport so cycled everywhere that was not in walking distance. It's very limiting but I'm sticking with it as owning a car is too expensive for me!

A day without a mobile phone

Probably but probably by accident. :-) It's been a long time so can't remember how I survived! ;-)

When I started using the Internet

2009-02-05T09:36:56-06:00

Depends how you define the Internet. I used to use it when it was in BBS format, though perhaps not regularly. I started using the Internet as it is today when I started my games tester job and got online with an MSN dial-up back in '96-97. It was very slow and expensive as you paid per use but found it very useful even then.

My fear of public speaking & wasps

2009-02-04T08:42:03-06:00

Being incredible shy, public speaking if a big no-no. There is no way I'd stand in front of people and speak. I hate any attention put on me so I wouldn't do this. But things like wasps scare the living peanut butter out of me too! I run like a girl when I see one, can't stand them! :-(

If I could tame a wild animal

2009-01-25T14:57:23-06:00

I'd keep a wolf

Wolf. I love dogs in general but owning a wolf would be very cool. I've always held a fascination with them. Of course they'd have to be pretty domesticated to do this. :-)

When I realized I was a grown-up

I think it was when I started college, lots of things changed, no more screaming kids in the playground, people getting their own cars, etc.

My first job: computer games industry

My first job was a games tester for a computer games publisher in London. I spent 8 years in the industry, do all sorts, from mastering, to web site design to office management and network administration.
