I got new toys!

For those who may or may not remember I was getting hugely tired of having to play dancing games with my Bell cell phone in front of my window to try and get some workable form of reception and sending SMS messages was a complete hit and miss. So, me being jealous of the 4 bars of reception that Andrew’s phone seemed to provide I did the only thing that made sense and tried to switch. Of course I wouldn’t be writing about it if that part wasn’t fun either, since I wanted to get a Motorolla L7, but that was coming soon, turns out that was basically coming like almost never. So after some more reading, the internet is not only for porn, I decided to just get the Sony-Ericson W810i, which was in stock, was smaller, had a better camera and was cheaper too.

The combination of above and the release of Final Fantasy 12 pretty much meant that the geeky side had to be satisfied and with good company in tag we made it to the mall. It was seriously cold yesterday, and today it’s warm and sunny — although with remnants of snow from last night, but back into the proper timeframe! The sales lady at Rogers seemed to be completely insane, then tried to tell me some lifelong story of her switching jobs or something like that, this was of course mostly prompted by the fact that their computers weren’t working right and at least for one point I seriously though she was going to break the phone trying to get the battery cover back on — but at least she was enthusiastic

Did I mention the phone has a 2MP camera, which is awesome considering all the uses I can find for it and at the same time when you think about it not that long 2MP was huge even in proper cameras. I’m still playing around with all the ‘oh cool’ features as I didn’t get to do a lot of that last night, the only bad thing I’ve found so far is you seem to have to put mp3 songs through this DRM encoder before you can use them as ringtones, oh well.

In other things, the UWDC Facebook group is well on it’s way to growing, it was feeling lonely so I decided to spam some suggestions that people should join it! I banned some people last night, but that was promptly reversed by Sharon, and it being her first ever hub admin command I couldn’t say no ^^

It’s Friday, sunny, and I can’t wait for the day at work to be over and go home, clean up a bit, get groceries, hopefully play my new game with a controller which I should be getting for copying the game for someone — yeah huge warning: FF12 won’t work with non Dualshock 2 controllers as I found out the hard way — and then catch up on some Heroes amongst other things later tonight.
