The Dark Furie

People who've been reading this page recently will know that I recently won an N82 loaner phone for my participation in the S60 Ambassadors project. What you don't know, cause I've kept quiet about it til I was sure no-one was in trouble over it, is that the phone arrived yesterday only it wasn't an N82. No, when I opened the package out tumbled two Samsung phones packed with developer applications. Seriously, of all the people they could make that mistake with, they made it with me. The fools!

Ahem, anyway... There's an N82 on it's way to me again along with a prepaid bag to send the Samsung phones back. All's well that ends well, and I've been helping myself to what I can get out of the developer apps.

Long time readers will know that I've been drooling over a video game called Fable 2 for over a year now, and that I've got some pretty unrealistic hopes for it. Well today the Official Xbox Magazine came out with the first playtest of the game, and it appears that my hopes are met and smashed in every way. This is so going to be game of the year when it comes out around Christmas. Keep your eyes open for it guys. When you see it on shelves, don't expect to see me for a while.

Roads were all backed up yesterday. Luckily we were on foot. Unluckily the people in cars were so impatient that they were willing to run a red light by driving on the wrong side of the road. What this meant to me was that I had one foot in the road at a crossing, looking to my right to make sure I wasn't run over, when six cars zoomed past me on the wrong side of the road from my left. If Kim hadn't have pulled me back I probably wouldn't be here now. I was so shocked and angry that I didn't get a single plate number or even drag anyone out of their cars.

This morning my headset arrived from Nokia for my participation in the Widsets beta test. It also included a Widsets neckstrap and two album vouchers for Nokia Music Store.

There's more that's happened but I can't really put it all together in my head yet so I'm gonna stop here.
