Another number that kept ringing me. 08000524264 belongs to EUI Ltd., a part of Admiral Group, who trade as Admiral, Bell and elephant.co.uk.

It reports to be a Courtesy Call number and says that there is no need for me to call them back. STOP BLOODY RINGING ME THEN!. Argh – why do these companies insist on trying to contact me!

Well, they’ve been added to my phone’s block list now. I use an excellent application on my Treo 680 called Call Block from Wish Solutions. It will block calls from specified numbers, private numbers and numbers not in your contact list. It will also log the calls that it has blocked. You can even configure it to pick up and then drop the call, so the caller doesn’t even get through to voicemail.

£7.23 well spent.

Well, it took me a while to work it out, but the phone number that kept ringing me for ages, 08453307139 is o2 Business’ Courtesy Call number. They just wanted to check if my phone was working OK.

Okay So theoretically you should see my new film “108″ below….

I just got a great correction to the PalmSource Developer Newsletter;

In Issue # 26 of the PalmSource Developer Newsletter, we inadvertently misquoted the industry analyst firm In-Stat as forecasting smartphone shipments at 266 billion units by the year 2010, compared to an estimated 54 billion units shipped in 2005. In-Stat actually forecasted 266 million units by the year 2010, and an estimated 54 million units shipped in 2005. That’s still a lot of units, and the slope of the curve represents a healthy growth in the smartphone business.

What’s a factor of 1000 between friends anyway?

After a rest of nearly two weeks, the grass suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of me and my mower.

There are rumours of a rematch later in the summer.

Grass wins a reprieve thanks to storms.

Beezly 1 – Grass 1
