			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take an Airport Express connected by the headphone jack to some decent speakers downstairs, and leave your computer on upstairs.</p>
<p>Use the <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/">Remote</a> application on the iPhone or iPod touch from downstairs &ndash; it can browse and play the iTunes library on the computer, but it can also change the output speakers so that you&#8217;re streaming the music to your nice audio setup. It&#8217;s a Sonos, but comparatively cheap (and yes, lacking features).</p>
<p>Whatever&#8230; made me smile quite a bit <tt>;)</tt>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All credit for this goes to Rodéric (and I wish there was somewhere I could link to him). I figured it might help to learn how to make a little food, just two months before university starts&#8230;</p>
<p>No idea what this is called, and you&#8217;ll have to trust me when I say it tastes goooood. Oil in saucepan, cut up vegetables (we had onion, tomato and mushroom) and &quot;shove in&quot; (technical terminology). Cook vegetables until, well, &quot;cooked&quot; (again, very technical). Tear up little chunks of bread and throw in saucepan. Leave a few minutes, and devour like you haven&#8217;t eaten in a few weeks.</p>
<p>This is cheap, easy, kinda healthy and hasn&#8217;t killed me yet. Love.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, say hello to Isabella (serious disclaimer: I&#8217;m not crazy for giving my phone a name, promise&#8230;)</p>
<p>A couple of very, very quick thoughts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Battery life is horrible on this – I guess I&#8217;m a heavy user, but I&#8217;ve found myself charging just running out of charge as I get home in the evening.</li>
<li>GPS is the coolest thing ever.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s so much easier having phone and music in the same place. I always used to miss calls because I couldn&#8217;t feel my K800i vibrating.</li>
<li>The camera&#8217;s not great. Meh, so what?</li>
<li>I have conversations in SMS, <strong>finally</strong>.</li>
<li>I still need to find a good IM application.</li>
<li>Twitterific works well, as does TubeStatus, Facebook, Last.fm and Shazam. Tris is a great game. Remote is kinda cool.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s nice having a hardware switch for silent/ringer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now time to pack and run to the airport&#8230; data roaming is off.</p>
<p>Oh, and I obviously need to style <code>li</code> here&#8230; :(</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just switched over to a new template. For the most part it&#8217;ll look the same as the old one, but should be a little wider (wooo, more space for content). The good news for me is that it&#8217;s no longer based on a version of Kubrick that shipped with something like Wordpress 2.x, it&#8217;s based on some <a href="http://www.refueled.net/blank-wordpress-themes/">blank Wordpress themes</a>.</p>
<p>It may look a little funky for a while. I&#8217;ll be changing some things live, so leave a comment if something screws up majorly (and you can be bothered)&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve gone for supporting a minimum screen resolution of 1024&#215;768 and not testing in IE6, which seem fair given how Google Analytics looks.</p>
<p>Cheers ;)</p>
