Nostalgic pang of the geek kind

  „This reminded me of my very first PDAs, all of which were from the Psion stable. If you think that Palm were ahead of the game and out on their own in the mid-nineties, then you need to think again - Psion released their first organiser over ten years before the Palm Pilot 1000 and went on to produce some of the best PDA hardware and software bar none. There are more than a few Psion users who attend the face to face UKPUG (UK Palm User Group) meetings and stalwarts such as Steve Litchfield and David MacKay who maintain excellent resources on their websites. Upon arriving home, I dug out my faithful 3a only to find the left hinge was bust and the button bar askew.“

The hwimsical Adventures of my Tutor N Me

  „Sweet sentimentality is what I aim for- Of new bonds of friendships formed, of old ones renewed and strengthened, of nostalgic pangs from days gone by, of mistakes made, of childhood memories, both good and bad, of regrets, of the pains, aches and wonders from a silly joyous bubble called love, of responsibilities and finding limits within a given inhuman power ,and, of course, of what-ifs. Please don’t get too sick for my benefit.   I don’t particularly like reading about characters made by the fanfic writer that pop out in a fanfic.“

Metaphorically speaking

  „I had a note on my Palm to write a post about how certain words and phrases seep from work cultures into our everyday personal lives but Ian sort of beat me to it. In a post, Ian points to a Plain English Campaign press release concerning their recent vote on the most irritating phrase in the language. Simple language folk around the globe voted "At the end of the day" as the most irritating phrase in the English language, followed by "At this moment in time", the use of "like" a form of punctuation and "With all due respect".“
