Feb 1st so already 1/12 into year

Pretty obvious that title comment really - 12 months in year, on down etc.. But there you go, wanted to state the obvious because sometimes need to as some people keep asking silly questions?

I'm at a point now where I have been putting down the pro's and con's about being one of the current few to jump into the iPad. Not even sure if available to buy yet in UK? But loving my iPhone and so seriously thinking of getting one. However, there is a limit on what I am willing to pay. I see that entry level in US is $499 so I am not willing to pay £499 if that is price they introduce here?

I believe no more that £300 is acceptable as to be honest its only really got functionality of my iPhone. Just means I would not have to carry my MacBook upstairs or go on my desktop PC? Not sure on ibooks though as can't see me reading lots. I like the tactile feel of pages myself, the smell of a book - both new and old.

Moving on from that. Started with it being February. Now this is good because we are moving through the year towards months like April/May. I like these months as these are the first months I think of when thinking "I can go down to the coast". No there is nothing stopping me from going to the coast during winter months; and through my single years I used to. But these days its more about young daughter on the beach that going into bars.

This would not be an issue back in the days when I used to live down near the sea; but work ruled that one. What would be nice is to write a killer iPhone or similar app :-) Maybe I should blog about these things - getting into iPhone development - if could prize MacBook out of wife's hands...

Twitter, Wiki, Facebook. I use these on on mostly a daily basis. Are these a change in the revolution of the internet? I started using the internet back in 1994, creating my first webpage back then. This was while at University. Now I remember editing that HTML in my text editor, getting a picture on the page. All good fun stuff. Now, moving on from there - these days we can have social network sites where we can share photo's, thoughts, and never have to worry about trying to code these.

I miss my personal created website. I miss all the images I had on there (there are missing, presumed dead on the internet somewhere). Maybe some day they will come to light on some backup server somewhere.

And the internet, sorry another random thought. I was watching Survivors the other day (its a UK series where most of world - or least UK wiped out by virus). Now with automated servers, etc, you would think that the web would still be alive but none ever look for this info while roaming around. A part of it should always survive as is there any way to turn this off??

Random thoughts over. Time to get back to the reality of life and work.
