Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Returneth
Oh Easyjet, you give me a choice of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Hello! And TopGear magazine? Christ.
So I’m on my final flight for now back from Berlin. Far too much luggage in the hold and hot and sweaty and it’s only 9:30am. Hectic week too!
Did Blond for the last time on Wednesday – was busy with lots of students eating food for some bizarre reason, didn’t get to say goodbye to Rene and Reinhart, which was a little annoying. Considered popping in last night but was far too sleepy and went to bed at 9 instead.
On Thursday, Bird was the word, my leaving do and drinks. Had a surprisingly “meh” steak, considering it was rare fillet and €45, But you only live once. I figure if you’re not going back to a place for a while, might as well steak it up a bit.
Finished documenting everything on Friday, things started to sink in a bit more, most of Friday was spent being a little bit sadface 
Packed up the flat, Liam’s birthday present, some bits for mum and Andy and realized I had over 20kg in my cheapo rolling bag thing and so hurriedly bought some more luggage allowance. Then headed to bed.
Up at 5 for my customary freakcity spell in the morning. Added some iPhone styles to the new site so it renders better on mobile devices. Did some washing and popped the dishwasher on then headed off to the airport,
Wheels on my cheapo rolling bag thing buckled under the weight of 26kg of contained luggage. Urg. Ended up dragging the thing through the airport. Think it might be a case of cab from London Bridge at this rate.
Well, assuming I don’t die. Someone put me on a Boeing
I start back in the London office on Monday, no rest for the wicked and all that. Bit of prototyping then a new client on Thursday, looks like I may get to start something from scratch, which would be ace. But we’ll see.
So I have an iPhone 4 en route. And typing this on the iPad I can most definitely say I will miss Android a lot. Single suggestions for words? No fathomable easy way to add words to a custom dictionary? No integration with your contacts? Pah! (pah, incidentally, is in the dictionary with a definition, yet still underlined as an error? How does THAT work, Apple? Oh, and caps lock would be nice too...)
It’ll be the little things I notice most I suspect. And I’ll miss Flash.
So going to end up carrying both phones with me.
Speaking of Android, I am testing the alpha of Cyanogen’s build of FroYo, very impressed right now. As Android is open source, it’s possible to roll your own. so he’s been rolling his own versions of Cupcake (2.1) and FroYo (2.2) for the Nexus One and various legacy devices. Want to use Cupcake on a G1? You got it! Very impressed so far, both with the speed of it and the additional extra bits such as an extended launcher and extra wallpapers and the like.
Pride today. Hoping to get back into London in time for the end of the parade and the picnic this afternoon. Then hoping to wave at all my friends as I collapse into a quivering sweaty lump. Yay for lack of sleep!
Tomorrow I may go a cyclin’, I’ve missed my bike...
