iphone uk – amusement in the wrong places

Apple – iPhone UK on O2 – Macworld UK: http://macworld.co.uk/ipod-itunes/news/index.cfm?newsid=19123

Alluding to the decision to make market moves with O2, Jobs said: “We wanted to know a few partners and find the one most compatible with us, so we dated lots of other carriers, but decided to marry O2. There’s a few upset girlfriends out there.”

LOL – is it just me, or does that conjour up a very carefully rehearsed analogy straight out of the Scott Adams/Derren Brown school of public
speaking ? I doubt I’d have heard his answer to the next question as I’d already have visions of the next JoT, with a scene in a prison cell with O2 as the, erm, ‘lower bunkmate’ and Jobs saying:

“Who’s your Daddy ?”

Or anything with Beeaatch in it.

Ahem.

I wonder if O2 are starting to wonder about who they’ve done business with ?

i is in yr pool, sinking yr servr3s

After meaning to get around to it for a year or so, I’ve finally got my Qube 2 providing time public services to the NTP UK Pool. Check the current status:

pool.ntp.org: minimal’s pool servers: http://www.pool.ntp.org/user/minimal

So if you use uk.pool.ntp.org then there a 1 in 738 chance (currently) that you’ll get data from it, or just use ntp.minimal.org.uk for a direct feed.
