I am cycling 25 Miles from Home Farm in Chilthorne Domer to West Bay on Sunday the 9th October to raise money for the Piers Simon Appeal and SCHOOLinaBAG.

Piers Simon Appeal is a disaster relief charity that delivers aid worldwide.

SCHOOLinaBAG is a charity I am now working very closely with and is a simple solution created to help poor, orphan, vulnerable and disaster affected children throughout the world. Each SchoolBag is filled with stationery equipment and resources that will enable a child to write, draw, colour, calculate, express themselves and above all learn.

If you just gave me £1 yeah you’d be shy a chocolate bar but look on the bright side, its less on the hips and your £1 would contribute to my target which if I reach would buy 10 School Bags!

Please support this amazing cause, even if its just to get me in a pair of silly, tight cycling shorts! Im sure there will be pictures!!

DONATE HERE

Apple has just officially announced their media event is to be held on the 4th October at 10.00am PST (Pacific Time)
That’s 6pm for us Brits over the pond.
The event will be held in a much more intimate location on their campus instead of their regular haunt.
This confirms all the rumours and the graphic they are using to advertise it spins some new rumours of its own!
The graphics confirm the date, time and location but there is a strange number 1 on the phone icon. You’d usually see this if you have a missed call. Then theres the strap line “Let’s talk iPhone”
This implies the release of just one iPhone instead of the high end and entry level people are expecting? I for one only ever thought they’d release the one and use the current iPhone to replace the entry level 3GS.
The interesting part for me is the word “Talk” my thoughts on this are it is about the iPhone talking to its user and the user talking to its iPhone. Full voice control so we can talk operations and text messages and it types for us. Likewise it will read them out-loud too!
Not long until the 4th, a week today in-fact. All will be answered then

Hi guys, Come and have a look and the latest updates and new logos on sM3e.com

The site is much more informative, up-to-date and much easier to navigate!

Let me know what you think

Hi guys,

Just a quick update on all things sM3e.com

I have just created a Business Page on FaceBook to generate a few more clicks. It’d be grand if you came and liked my page.

Ive also hooked it up that my blog updates my Twitter and FB Business Page. I can get any Twitter Entry to hit my FB Business page by adding #FB as the end! – Magic!

Thanks to my latest Web Site Development Client and good friend Lucas at the Piers Simon Appeal Charity I have just got our family wagon / bus / van sM3e.com Branded!

Take a look

I know I said that was me for the evening but I gotta share this one last thing with you guys.

Gamelofts new 9MM game for iOS is a universal app for both iPhone and iPad and it kicks-ass!

Have a look

Go and get it, you wing regret it!

I finally got round to it but now sM3e.com has a swanky new Share Bar at the bottom of each post and page giving you the ability to share to Facebook, Twitter and the all new Google Plus.

I have also at last upgraded my comments system to the fantastic Disqus System meaning you can now add comments using a Disqus, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo or OpenID account and receive notification when you get a reply!

Why not try the new system out to let me know what you think?

Also as a special treat to myself and my 10,000+ fans that regularly visit the site I am thinking of spending some time on the theme and regenerating the blog as sM3e v2.0. What do you think is good, what do you think is bad and what would you like to see? Im hoping to be able to add at least one new blog post per day to this new setup and want it to be kick-ass yet user friendly and most of all stay with the “Keeping Tech Simple” Moto. Anyone out there good with graphic design? Fancy having a play with the sM3e.com logo? Go-ahead, see what you can create, if I like it I may use it on the site and will always give credit where it is due.

Thats all for today. Come back tomorrow for a roundup of all the latest Apple Rumours around this supposedly new budget entry iPhone to replace the iPod range?!? I know I doubt it too.

Cheers Guys

Well, it seems that one lucky jailbreaker’s been following Comex’ Twitter account, coming across a post — since pulled — featuring the image shown up there in the header. Of course, if it’s legitimate, Comex has all but guaranteed he’s cracked the code for an iPad 2 exploit. The nexus404 blog (a.k.a. TFTS) has the following, posted by an iFans user called Fruity:

I was on comex’s Twitter about an hour ago when he posted a single image link. I was surprised to see it was what appears to be a flyer for his new jailbreak? When I reloaded the Twitter page it was gone completely. I still had the image in another tab, though, so I saved it to my computer. Perhaps this wasn’t intended to get out yet or maybe there was a delay? I don’t know, I’m just looking at the image unsure if he’s really intending to release it tomorrow or not. This is certainly weird.

Weird indeed.

And, It could be real. Or it could be fake. For those wondering about the featured QR code, it does link back to Comex’ Twitter feed, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of a forgery or some other manner of hoax.

Still, tomorrow could be a huge day for jailbreak users everywhere.

We’ll just have to wait and see…

For anyone thats wondering why I havent update the blog recently it has been because I have been working on a new clients website

This is my current working project and is by far my favourite site I have made. I even like this site more that my own! :-S The client is a pleasure to do business for and has had some very creative ideas for me to attempt to code (Like the Contact Map) Please have a look at this work in progress and share your thoughts.

sM3e on Gadget Show???…………

Also I have been in contact with the Gadget Show regarding an exciting challenge they are getting involved in, repairing games console at home to save/make money. I could possibly be going to London next week to help Suzi Perry complete her challenge or possibly be helping via Skype! I will keep you all posted and be sure to watch the Gadget Show to see me there if I am!

I am publishing this here for the people that missed it on FaceBook.

This was originally written on Thur 17th Feb 2011 and Id like to add that clearly there is nothing out there. I didn’t win the lottery, I’m still ill and now the wife and son are too. Plus my 4 month old baby now sounds like a 70 year old woman that has just smoked 1000 cigarettes.

ENJOY….

Hello,

Hello child,

“child?” I hear you say, “why are you calling me child?”

Come take my hand child, hold it tight and let me take you on a journey. Come with me down this winding path, a path through the strange garden that is my thoughts, a journey into my mind. All will be explained.

Hear my plea, this plea goes out to the powers that be. Whether that is Evolution, God, Allah, Buddha, the Horse-faced god with 7 arms and 1 eye that regularly visits my dreams, his royal dudeness, the Big Bang, Karma, Fate, the Stars, Zeus, the Giant Green Head, Satan, aliens from another planet that put us here as some strange experiment, the Matrix or however the hell we all happen to be exactly who we are and where we are right this second.

“A plea? A plea for what?”

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t exactly have it hard, each mans pain is each their own. I have no life threatening illness, or hideous disfigurement (although some of you will joke that I have always been hideous anyhoo) nor am I starving or in poverty. In fact I have it pretty cooshty, will a gorgeous wife, 2 lovely kids, a magnificent house, we both have jobs (that we enjoy), just enough money to tide us over month to month and most of the latest mod-cons.

“so what’s your beef?”

Well to be honest, after reading what I’ve just written and now that it’s 16 hours after I started thinking/writing this, (yes I was up at 4am this morning! I will divulge on this some more later) (and yes for the cleverer of you out there, now you now know that I am writing this part at 8pm! It has been a hard hard day!) I am nowhere near as cross or feel as tested as I did earlier. I am however much much more tired and a firm believer that people should finish what they start.

“Okay, okay, just cut to the chase! I gotta be getting myself to bed sometime soon!”

I feel life has handed me a serious of tests, hurdles, minor inconveniences if I may. They are all small things but I could really do without feeling ill and run down (nothing serious, just a bad case of man flu) since last Friday (that’ll be a week tomorrow). Then there’s the guilt that I feel that my 3 month old daughter is just as ill as am (after catching it off me) and had my wife and me were therefore up and out of bed at 4am this morning as there was no sign of rest. Not to mention the insensitive dickwad that scratched my new car from front to back while it was parked outside my house and then not have the balls to fess up to his mistake (you know who you are and a smite you!!!) Add on the massive redundancies and cuts that both my wife and my own employer are having to make because of the ridiculous state of the UKs economy right now and the governments retarded attempt at a resolve by spending less on the community, cutting funding and then raising taxes, making living costs unbearable and uncontrollable! (Imagine the atmosphere that creates in the workplace when you and your closest colleagues jobs are on the line!) Plus the fact that the wife and I don’t have a spare minute in the day to spend any actual time together to do something as simple as have a hug in-front of the telly without falling asleep due to exhaustion, yet alone do anywhere near half of life’s everyday tasks whilst trying to raise a baby, get a 7 year old through the moulding years of primary school and hold down 2 jobs without going completely insane. Then as a gentle slap in the face as if not getting up at 4am with an ill baby, a seriously sleep deprived and slightly crazy (yet still amazing) wife, feeling at the peak of my own illness, on the morning of our 7 year anniversary plus one of the most important days at my current job to date (where I have to be seriously on form) and on fucking big bin day nonetheless (the one where you have to put out the wheely bin and 3 different recycling boxes!!) I then get dealt the “random bought of diarrhoea card”! Well to be blunt I’ve had enough! I’ve passed your tests and would really like a break. I’m not asking for a miracle, nothing greedy like winning the lottery (unless you can help out with that) or a letter from one of my many debts saying they got it wrong and not only do I get back all the money I’ve paid them but they actually owe me the outstanding balance (I can dream!), or an 8th day of the week where children sleep for 24 hours and parents can rest without a care in the world. I’m just asking for a little bit of luck and a positive vibe. Maybe find a 10er on the floor, a promotion at work, an award winning business idea or just something to make life a little more relaxing.

Anyway enough of my whinging, whatever’s out there, give a man a break please?
