Read MoreFinland
No post in the last week as have been on holiday in Finland. I greatly enjoyed myself, although I must say that November is probably not the best time to visit, as all the summer activities have finished up, and none of the winter ones started. There is something to be said for doing all […]

Read MoreGoodbye my love, Goodbye….
About five years ago I left corporate life behind, and with it my two mobile devices (one iPhone 4, one Blackberry Bold). After a very brief and very unsuccessful attempt with an early Android phone, I acquired my first Windows Phone (a Lumia 800 on WP7), and I have been on the platform ever since. […]
