Back off holiday

Yum, a whole week with no laptop, PSP and the iPhone only being used to find nice restaurants and check the footie scores. If silicon Armageddon hits, I'll be quite happy without all this tech-stuff, just give me some fishing line and bait, and we'll survive (mostly on crab and rabbit, but hey-ho).


Now back and running to find Force Unleashed II cancelled on PSP, which is a minor nuisance but would probably be far more Yoda-friendly on Xbox. On the plus side, we are getting a new Ghost Recon, hope its an improvement on the first outing. And its good to see Persona getting the reviews it deserves, must pick that one up, in the fullness of time, after due consideration of all the facts and it drops to less than £15.


On the home front, FibreCity is digging up the nearby streets, causing mayhem and chaos according to the local rag, but offering decent services. However, I think I'll stick with Virgin for now thanks as, when the need arises, they can boot me up to 50Mb and probably beyond quite happily with no fuss.



The latest addition to the family is a Vauxhall Meriva, replacing the creaking Clio that has finally been put out to pasture. Note to Vauxhall's designers, those little groves provided by other makers around the ignition that show the different key positions are a really good idea. You might want to copy, oh, 30+ years of car design on that one.


Everything else is great, just the ignition block looks like a slab of unfinished iron. Perhaps Vauxhall will say its a "security feature" but it is just a featureless slab in my little eyes. Also, for a family car it has more blind spots than American foreign policy.


Anyway, let's time to peruse the wider world of technology and see what I missed and what it has for us this week..
