Where are we, iPhones?

Josh managed to get hold of one of the last 3G iPhones in Massachusetts last night … we compared the location seeking ability of my 2G (using a single hopeless AT&T cell tower with next-to-no signal), and his 3G which clearly used GPS – indoors – to get a very precise (and correct) fix!

Also note the display differences – both iPhones are set to the same brightness …

Ancient History

I was checking my (many!) registered domain names earlier today (including grabbing another one for $6/year to prevent it being poached), and I noticed that 1and1 still maintains the customer data I had when gbmini was hosted by them!

Of course, most of the links will go to (this) current website, but if you manually go to the old weblog you see the last post about the first MCSa at MINI of Peabody – this was back when I was driving Indi Blue GBMINI#2, before GBMINI#3 was ordered and of course way before my current MINIs were built!

It’s funny to see this data still sitting in 1and1’s servers, when I now only use them for domain registration … I wonder if I could use the storage there?!

The garden in green

Following on from the Blossom pictures, here’s a few more I took over the last couple of months, and finally get around to posting – pictures of our Gloucester garden, all beautifully green and growing with the regular rain and sun we’ve had so far this year 🙂

Our rose bush is quite unhappy this year, almost dead so we cut it back drastically in hopes of rejuvenating it – meanwhile, just one flower).

Bridgette, getting older, thinner, stiffer, but still seems happy:
