Conservatories

October 28th, 2007 by Turn On

I have a relatively spacious flat with a nice garden, my two children have ample room to run around and play, indeed they could be said to have taken over the better part of our living area with their various toys, games and activities.

That is why I started looking into the option of adding a Conservatory to my abode. We decided that loosing a few square meters from the garden would be little sacrifice compared to the benefits of an extra room, and one which would be dedicated to adult tastes.

So, I started investing Conservatories online and found a wonderful array of possible solutions. With prices from as little at under a grand I was immediately interested, and soon found myself in the process of ordering a superb looking “lean to”.

The unit was delivered within a week and the construction was a painless process, it looks good and there is more space in the house, now I am out of it….

This was several months ago, and now I sit in my leather armchair, glass of whisky in hand, the rain makes a wonderful sound as it patters lightly on the conservatory roof and the double glazing ensures that the racket from inside the house doesn’t spoil my moment.

TV Sets for the North

October 22nd, 2007 by Turn On

I have a great business idea and am looking for a partner in the North of England.

Here, in the affluent south, everyone is buying flat screen/LCD Tv’s and plasmas, we are so rich down here that we are practically giving away the old traditional TV Sets.

What I need is a contact up north ( where old tellies must be worth gold dust) so I can ship them up there and sell them for top dollar.

Any mp3 music you want free mp3 singles, you can find it here.
Every day you can download music from legal mp3 music shop. (Music from around the world).
Digital temple of music is here. You can download any kind of mp3 music from a rock to techno.

I reckon that I could drive through the wealthy streets of Hove in a truck saying: “we collect your Tv’s” and fill it up in no time.

I could then drive around the better off areas of the north and sell these very same television sets as luxury items to the north people.

In Car with Nokia N95, which Navigation Software?

October 12th, 2007 by Turn On

You see I still haven’t got it cracked, I use the GPS Sat Nav on my Nokia N95 all the time in the car. I set the route using the landmarks feature and calculate route. Then I show on map and start tracking. Generally, if I have decent satellite signals the GPS functions fine.

It is only a pity that you can’t use it in widescreen mode as the GPS receiver is located in the base of the N95’s handset. I have been thinking of trying to find a small LCD screen with video in ports so that I can use the TV Out of the Nokia to have larger screened in car navigation available.

Driving along I either glance down at the mobile on my dashboard ( I still have not got a decent in car cradle for my N95 but am looking ) or I hand the handset to my daughter who confirms yes, we are still on the blue line.

I am nearing the stage when these steps must be overcome; I need a cradle, a new screen, and above all, I need a screen with a better size, for glancing and I will need some Navigational Software so that I have voice prompts to tell me where I am wand when I need to turn and all of that stuff.


Looking online for Navigational Software ( I am loathe to click accept on the Nokia’s internal menu as this must be the most expensive option ) I find some interesting alternatives;

  • CoPilot Live 6 : - from www.alk.com/copilot/pocketpc.asp at around £50 looks ok and is fully featured, but it appears not to use the same maps ( from smart2go ) as I am used to. I also worry about hidden data charges.
  • Wayfinder :- from www.wayfinder.com has be recommended many times on the Symbian forums
  • Route 66 from 66.com is also a frontrunner and the fully featured product Mobile 7 S60 looks by far the best I have found online

I will be trying to find online trials of demos of each of these different S60 Navigation Software for my Nokia N95 and will report once whey have been assessed.
