How Do You Do?

Parcel Delivery and Courier Services

I have a smartphone. I have SkypeIn/Out. I don’t have a landline, Not had one for over 6 years now. Had Vonage for a while, but Skype is cheaper. I have Google Voice.

Now let’s see. I have a GV number, a cellphone number, Three SkypeIn numbers. (I use Skype for business – and I have an East Coast, a West Coast, and a UK number, that I give to family and friends there, so they can call from UK to US free).

It is a mess though really. Even with all those numbers, I don’t really spend much time on the phone. Much of the time I have the cellphone on silent, or the buzz, warbling from Tweets, Buzzes, and IM’s is too distracting, and you have to look don’t you?

For business I much prefer email – I have a written trail. I chat to many friends on Twitter. I don’t even use regular text much – here in the US I seem to get too many people complaining that they just got charged 25 cents for the one I just sent them, so I don’t bother.

I use IM to some extent, and at least with Google Talk there’s a log. However, when you’re busy, IM is almost as disruptive and work-stopping as the phone.

If you want to get hold of me, urgently, what’s the best way? To be honest, email or Twitter!

Internet Radio on Android

Audio-Technica - Cool headphones and free delivery over £100

I don’t have an iPod (or an i-anything for that matter), and my only mp3 player is a little Sansa 1GB. I use that on the rare occasions I want to listen to local FM Radio, but I usually either listen to my own mp3s or more often than not I stream one of the many Internet radio stations out there.

With a 16GB card in my Droid, I can keep a decent few hours of music on it, but it’s nice to have something more random too.

After looking around I found DroidLive, which has recently become XiiaLive. It’s a great multi format player.

It plays aac, aac+ mp3 mp4 and mpeg, with other formats under development. Works with 3G and wi-fi. Includes a timer, so you can set it to go to sleep to, if you wish.

I use my Droid with a Moto HT820 Bluetooth headset, and the sound quality is quite acceptable.

Find out more about XiiaLive here

Lucid Lynx

Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. It’s otherwise known as Lucid Lynx. Getting a few issues, like a non terminal kernel error (so far), and Wakoopa doesn’t want to work. Otherwise so far so good.
A few extra apps are installed by default, such as a video editor, and a simple scanning app. I can’t report anymore on these at this time, as I’ve not used them.
The full release is due out on April 29th, and is an LTS edition.
