GRINDR the iPhone app that Gaydar should have created

world — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:52:03 +0000

I’ve been banging on about this for a year since the iPhone 3G came out with GPS. It’s a perfect fit – gay men, gadgets and location finder. A plug from Stephen Fry on Top Gear hasn’t hurt the number of users either in recent days ;-)

Stupid trains and national rail

world — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:39:25 +0000

So iPhone applications come and go but recently my favourite application has been deactivated. Worse national rail have made an inferior product and want a fiver for it! So now not only do trains run late but you have to pay to check if it’s late!

The aim of the test – originally scheduled for 2008 – was to find how out technically and commercially viable a scheme would be. All I can say is thanks god [...]

o2 and ticketmaster

world — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:02:54 +0000

So the o2 page for priority tickets to see Michael Jackson simply has a link to ticketmaster anyway! So that was kind of pointless. Now the ticketmaster website has a lovely message: Your wait time is approximately 15 minutes or more If you refresh this page or hit the back button, you will lose your place in [...]

The o2 is a success

world — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:55:59 +0000

Sadly though the website isn’t. Now don’t judge me about trying to buy Michael Jackson tickets – I’m not a fan but since Andrew isn’t a Take That fan and bought tickets I thought I should reciprocate. The o2 blueroom website or o2priority website designed to allow o2 customers to purchase tickets before they go on [...]
