We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.–Dr. Seuss

car kit for the new phone

When I had the original Nexus One I was privileged enough to have a proper car kit which was original and therefore worked perfectly with the phone. Now that I have my Galaxy Nexus I have to consider how I will find a car kit that will actually be relevant for me, I came across this video it totally answered my question. Sometimes the extra is definitely worth it.

I want one

PTI headaches literally

At the risk of sounding like a sensitive flower in need of tender loving care and attention, I have come across this evening and issue which compels me to comment. I’m staying in the Premier Travel Inn, one of the city centre ones in the UK. Prior to arriving a request to the top floor room which I always do when I stay in one of these hotels due to the fact that a lot of the floors are usually so creaky that somebody walking around above me at night does keep me awake.

As this one is the city centre I ended up on the ninth floor and the creaky floor is not an issue. I’m quite content with being higher and I’m looking forward to the view of the morning whenever it is a light. Interestingly the windows in my room do not open at all. I’m sure for most travellers this is not an issue in November however from me this is a considerable issue. The staff would say is the air conditioning but as I’m sure some of you could agree air conditioning can make other people feel sick for the same reasons as I feel sick from lack of oxygen. The air conditioning just increases my headache. I did ask about moving to another floor where windows will open but none of the windows of the building do apparently. I do not believe this could be true as the area near the lifts seems fresh and fully oxygenated.

I have asked to move to another travelinn tomorrow and while I have phoned the new travelin and check that they have the availability the current travelinn have said I will have to wait for somebody qualified to be able to achieve the move. 

As I sit here dictating the words on the screen I feel quite queasy, I have a solid headache and now retiring to bed, something I have never been able to do this early on the first night staying in a hotel.

All I ask is that I get a vent or some sort of small port hole to the outside world. I wonder when was the last time this room was aired.

ebay causing me headaches

Ebay seemed easy enough then became a pain -

Every time I listed my phone some bogus person did “buy now” and stopped the auction. Following that ebay said I had listed too much in this month (even though they removed the item each time because of the bogus buyer. Every time they took it down I had to start at the start.

I had to get verified to raise the limit enough to finally list my phone. This is because their policy would not allow me to list the item as the previously removed one’s counted to my monthly limit, even thought this is the first item I am selling. It took 10 days to get to start. 

The frustrations this caused has led me to add a tenner each time to the base price and remove the buy now button.

any other people have similar frustrations?

 ebay listing here

This is probably a similar feeling to the users of technology that are less tech savvy and yes I know users of my stuff experience some frustrations too. But I cannot see why the item cannot be re-listed under a new ID number – why do I have to submit all the info again, and again….
