3650 snapshot: I am really enjoying my new phone. I've just transferred a family video that I shot with my Canon A40 via my PC on to the phone to watch. Easy. I am also using the phone as my main gaming device at the moment. Slightly wondering why I went and got the Gameboy Advance. There are plenty of games around for the 3650 and the great thing is that they're cheap. Download Splinter Cell for the 3650 for 3.99 €. The Gameboy version will set you back around 50 € when it comes out. Of course the quality is different - but for quick mobile gaming - I'd go for the 3650. On the down side - the battery doesn't hold out that long and the cursor button-thingy is sometimes hard to control.

Timed Telnet? Someting completely OT: Does anyone know of a way to set up Telnet so that the user-id / password combination is only valid for a certain length of time? The idea being to give out user-id / passwords for Telnet but making sure that they are only valid for a certain period.

IM'ing: Quick IM chat with Russell to see what the plan is :-). Hopefully it will include Cocoon - which is of course close to my heart and well suited as a mobile platform.

Sunny Saturday: The weather has taken a turn for the better and it looks as though the coming week will be warm and sunny. As I have a couple of days holiday - this is good news. I've noticed quite a few other webloggers writing about the interesting things they've been doing today (like Steven and Russell). Well, so far today I've been shopping, made a marinade (honey,mustard,chile,lemon juice) for chicken and made a (simple) cake. Unfortunately it seems that we've also been struck with a new round of sniffles and cold-like symptoms. Bad news - seeing as how the Easter run is now only a week off. Tomorrow I had planned on a 10k run to see what my time is like and then I wanted to do some faster paced stuff on Tuesday. And after that it's relax until Saturday. Sounds as though I plan on winning - doesn't it? Well, I'll have to see how bad the cold gets.
