After the course yesterday, I headed across London to my hotel and booked myself in, before heading straight back out again, but not before I managed to break my Palm E2. It just sat there with a "Fatal Error - MemoryMgr.c - No Free Handler" error with an unusable reset button. But I didn't have to fix it, so just left it on and ran off to get the Tube back into the city.
Met up with JFW in Southwark. We had a few shandys, told a few jokes, laughed about nothing and swapped technical crap, in the way only Jon and I can.
I got back to the hotel around 10, made some phone calls and then started on trying to find answer to my Palm crash. Pressing the "reset" button on the back just sent me back to the same error - and the only other thing I could think of doing was a Cold Reset, but that deletes everything and puts the machine back to factory defaults - which wasnt what I needed at all. So after a little searching, I found another possible reset - a "warm reset". You hold down the "Up" button, press the reset button and then let go of the "Up" button when the boot screen appears. Magically, this worked and within a few minutes, I was back up and running and putting on some useful software - Tube from Visual IT. No more getting lost in London or trying to find a route around the tube network.
This morning, I woke up at 7am, had a cup of tea and ciggy, then fell asleep - not waking up til 8.38! So I washed, dressed, packed my backpack and ran down to breakfast, panicing that I might miss the start of my course. Following a glass of juice and a croissant, I managed to walk to Stratford station, get a train and get to the training place by 9.20...
Anyway, enough of me, here are some England (as in our national football team) jokes:
Saddam Hussein has been found guilty and has been sentenced to be shot. His last request is to name his own firing squad. He's chosen Lampard, Gerrard and Carragher from 12 yards.
Q: Why aren't the England football team allowed to own a dog?

Q: What's the difference between the England team and a tea-bag?
A: The tea-bag stays in the cup longer.
Q: Why do the English make better lovers than the Portuguese/Germans?
A: Because they are the only one's who can stay on top for 45 minutes and still come second!
Q: What is common between a 3-pin plug and the England football team?
A: They are both useless in Europe!
Q: What's the difference between O J Simpson and the England football team?
