gigglephone

I broke the screen on my old phone, and decided that was as good an excuse as any to get myself an android phone.
So here I am, blogging on my G1.
So far on the whole I’m really loving it, I can ssh in to my server from anywhere, so I’ve been playing around getting irssi working just how I like it, but more importantly (or is it really just extremely geeky?) I can get a shell and fix it if something goes wrong and I’m not near my PC.
My favourite apps at the moment are ConnectBot, Shazam, ShopSavvy and Banshee Remote (which isn’t finished yet, but still very cool).
Perhaps I’ll start keeping a list of all the apps I’m using on here.

My major gripes with android at the moment are the lack of decent bluetooth support (handsfree/headset only support I think, am I missing any?), and top-posting only in the google mail app. I hear bluetooth will be extended in cupcake (the next major release), with any luck google mail will be improved as well, so I’ll have to find something else to complain about :-) .

Domain Renewal Group – the new Domain Registry of America

I got a letter in the post today from the “Domain Renewal Group”
It looked suspiciously similar to the “Domain Registry of America” scammer’s letters I’ve received in the past. And without too much effort I discovered they are indeed one and the same.

If you do receive a letter from one of those two groups, your best bet is to just throw it in the bin (assuming you haven’t already been scammed into switching to them as your domain name registrar).
