Even after just reading http://bit.ly/14PtR4, I have to agree with http://bit.ly/KEsTt . Manned spaceflight always was a bit of a gimmick.

@NarcissusBleak I did the same a couple of years ago, and it’s terrible but true. I just don’t have the patience for gnome etc anymore.

• Phone got covered in beer at weekend due to bicycle accident #
• On the plus side, since my phone did not appreciate the beer much, I can upgrade to an Android powered HTC Magic #
• @aimaz yeah, mainly the basket got wrenched off, breaking the beer inside my bag. Also in bag: book (soggy), SLR (luckily in seperate case) in reply to aimaz #
• @aimaz the book was my recently bought copy of “Designing the obvious” - http://rhjr.net/dto/ which is actually rather good. #

This week I took out a contract with Vodafone with a new HTC Magic. The difference between this and my experience 18 months ago with Three couldn’t have been greater.

With Three, I picked up my phone in the shop with unlimited internet access, etc. During the next three weeks, I endured pure hell trying to get my 3G internet connection working.  Each time I called India, I had to start from the beginning, with the same script-reading robots. I eventually tricked someone into fixing my problem by pretending to let them follow their script.

With Vodafone, I signed up online on the Wednesday, the phone was delivered on Thursday morning, and they transferred my number on the date they said they would, Friday. All services I signed up for worked perfectly from the beginning. So far, so good.

Oh and the HTC Magic and Android are absolutely great.
