thanks, community
Two, Five, Zero.
Three little numbers. In two days time I've been here for two years. Five - the total amount of visitors I thought I'd get when I first came here. I didn't really understand how blogging worked, and I guess we all reckon we'll only get five visitors eh? Zero is the amount of subjects I thought I'd have to talk about after making that first tentative post. Two, five, zero. Three little numbers.
Today, as mentioned earlier, I'm just two days away from celebrating two years on this site. I'm also celebrating The Dark Furie entering the top 250 most visited blogs here out of 2,126,258 current members. As thanks to everyone that has visited and gotten me this far, all drinks are on me (cyber-drinks only, this piece of text has no monetary value - this is not a cheque, this is not a cheque, no monetary value, no monetary value) tonight and the music will go on until someone plays MC Hammer and gets thrown out the window. Hope you all enjoy the party.

cool, mobile technology, thanks
This goes out to all my Widsets readers - all three thousand, four hundred and eighty nine of you, which is still a big wow for me. I know it's expensive for most people to view anything over the internet using a mobile phone so I want to thank each and every one of you for using my widget and reading my page this past year. I really should have posted this earlier (October 23rd was the year anniversary of my widget after all), but I haven't been around much for the past month. Been quiet hasn't it? Nevermind, more egocentric humour and examinations of the dark side of humanity are to come. And there'll always be new mobile technology posts.
Also, I thought I should let you mobile tech savvy guys know that the absolutely brilliant Opera Mini (the way I do most things on the web including this page) has just been upgraded to version 4.2 and can be downloaded to most phones from http://mini.opera.com for free. If you can run Widsets, you can run this. Give it a try if you haven't already got it.

mobile technology, thanks
A while back I joined the S60 Ambassador's incentive and have been showered with gifts from Nokia ever since. The latest one is this gorgeous bluetooth keyboard which I won for being one of the top ten most active participents in the Widsets Pets campaign. Other prizes included the
DT-22 tripod for camera phones, the
MD 5W bluetooth speakers and the
Nokia Audio Wireless Gateway (which lets you play your phone music through your music system's speakers).
Obviously I elected to get the keyboard as it will allow me to more easily use my phone to make posts here and generally type things up. I'm hoping that the next campaign will have similar prizes and that I'll win one again as I'd love those speakers. Until then, thanks Nokia.

This one goes out to
Henry who for some reason decided I was worthy to be named Member of the Week on his
Opera World Community group.
He wrote some very kind and mostly untrue things about this page and I thank him for it. The cheque's in the mail dude.

This thank you post goes out to Nokia.
Somewhere around a month ago I took my phone into Carphone Warehouse for a firmware update, expecting to get it back the next day. Unfortunately they messed up somewhere and the phone had to be sent back to Nokia. Two weeks passed by and I had no idea what was happening until I finally received the e-mail informing me that it was back.
In the scorching heat of summer I took the long walk down to the shop and picked up my phone. It turned out that the phone had been sent back because it wouldn't turn on after the update and that's why it was sent back to Nokia. I tested the phone before I left the shop and found that it wouldn't keep the time and date anymore so I left it there for repairs again, and it was sent back to the manufacturer again.
Yesterday I got an e-mail saying my phone was fixed (again) so I braved the heat and went to pick it up. Apparently Carphone Warehouse had messed the phone up so badly that it had to be replaced, so Nokia had sent me a shiny new phone to keep.

Quite a while back I decided to join a site called Jaiku and started the registration process. I was halfway through when a notice came up that registration to the site was now closed. It turned out that Google had bought the community and was closing it down to new users until they decided what they were going to do with it.
The thing is, the site kept going with the current users and they were given the ability to invite a limited amount of new people in. I've been fishing for an invite ever since then.
Thanks go to Darla & Matt for the invite. I'll try to make the most of it once I've got my phone properly set up again.

mobile technology, community, thanks
It's been an odd day today. No, not odd. More... surprising I suppose.
My loaner from Nokia arrived sporting enough RAM and phone memory to blow me away. I'll go into detail about it later, but anyone that knows Symbian phones should check out the screenshot. That's after adding all my applications on to the phone. Still got plenty of memory to add new stuff too, instead of having to pick and choose. That alone will make me sad to send it back.
In other news it looks like I've made it into the top 500 most visited blogs here. Thanks to "Do you want more gravy" Moe for letting me know. I wasn't there last week when I was checking them out and preparing a post on them (currently being rewritten) so sometime in the last few days I've made it to number 398. Give me enough time and I'll be in the top ten and wont have to update my page at all to bring new visitors in.
In all seriousness though, thanks to everyone that's visited. Hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed your mildly insane comments.
