Not that I’m a wino, but I do like a glass or two of Beaujolais Nouveau, I’ve just opened a bottle, after finishing half a bottle of a very nice Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon! (hick!)
iPad Gadget of the Year – Huawei E585 – also called MiFi device.
The Huawei E585 MiFi Moble WiFi Wireless 3G Modem is currently exclusively only available on the Three network and it’s SIM-locked to this network, if you insert another SIM from another provider O2, Voda UK, Orange or T-Mobile you’ll receive an “Insert SIM”, “Bad Sim”, “Sim Lock”, “Invalid SIM” or similiar error. If you would like to use this fanastic 3G Wireless Router on another network you’ll need to remove the SIM-LOCK. This is where you need to be very careful, there are various different ways of removing the SIM-LOCK, the correct way and the wrong way, some hacks have re-written the firmware, the result removes the SIM-LOCK, but leaves you with a E585 modem with modified firmware, and you’ll not be able to change the firmware in the future.
This method reveals the true SIMLOCK code, and then you enter this SIMLOCK code into the E585 via the web interface.

The method is very simple

Happy British Summer Time folks, I’ll get back to blogging in a few days, I’ve been busy than normal!
Now your probably thinking that I purchased this lot of chocolate, well I didn’t, as I’ve been on the wagon for at least three weeks now, and I’ve been eating fruit, I decided I’ve definately been eating too much chocolate, crisps and drinking far too much Red Bull and Diet Coke of late.
I received a few emails from a friend yesterday,
“One for now” was the subject of one, followed by another “One for now”, followed by another “One for later”, I thought he’d gone round the bend, followed by another email “for eating” … I was going to call him later that evening.
I hadn’t got a clue what he was referring to, until I got home and saw a parcel here it is:-
I then knew it was Willies Delectable Cacao! Damn you Paul! I don’t think I mentioned I was on the wagon! He’d sent them as a favour for repairing his notebook, and they are only available from Waitrose.
I blogged last year about Willies Delectable Cacao, well it looks like Willie has done it again and produced another three different flavours to add to the original, and one in Limited Edition.
So if you like good chocolate why not try Willies Word-Class Cacao.
Visit Willies Word-Class Cacao whilst I eat mine!
Actually there is a fifth called :-
Paul, I’m I pushing my luck to ask you to send this one as well, when in stock!
Migration is one of the most amazing stories from nature. Every year, hundreds of species of birds make astonishing journeys from one part of the world to another and back again. And some end up in the UK, including swallows.
From the cape of South Africa swallows fly north the length of Africa, averaging 200 miles every day. Most pass over the Namib and Kalahari deserts to the Gulf of Guinea on Africa’s western coast, eating insects on the wing.
Then comes the difficult journey across the Sahara. Buffeted by sandstorms and with few insects to sustain them, they struggle to get to the other side of this vast desert.
Once across, they follow three main ‘flyways’ over the glistening expanse of the Mediterranean sea to southern Europe and eventually, after 7,000 miles, to the place where they were born. Often to the same village. The same barn. The same nest as in previous years.
A truly remarkable feat.
Unfortunately, some swallows never make it that far. Their route takes them to the coastline of a small island – Malta – where they stop, feed, rest…and are shot. Just for the sheer pleasure of it.
Last September, volunteers from BirdLife Malta and another bird conservation group found the remains of over 200 birds hidden in an area of the Mizieb woodland, which is used as hunting grounds.
The bodies, which ranged from freshly killed marsh harriers to bones that appeared to be several months (maybe years) old, were located in stashes under rocks, in crevices and under rubbish. The remains also included honey-buzzards and hoopoes.
