Random Tidbits

1) I need to thank Sebastian profusely for his comment on T-Com. Telling me how to switch Voicemail into English, as well as the helpful “36” command that will immediately stop 75% of the calls—voicemail calls that told me somebody called but did not leave a message.

The telephone in my flat is as far away from my bed as possible, whilst still being in the same apartment.

At first glance, one might think that this is a bad thing—I am, after all, usually the only person living in my flat, so one would think it would be an awfully convenient thing […]

I leave in the morning for Rotterdam.

I’ve had a fairly busy day today, commencing with a […]

SIMulating Discussion

I noticed that CQ asked in my blog if my German SIM card would work in the UK, essentially asking, “Why the hell did you get yet another phone number you dork?”
