This pointless blog has been in existence since 2002. Some of the early material has been maturing for quite a while, yet it still remains very immature. Feel free to sample some of the aged wares.

Sandwich Selector

Here are the 5 most recent sandwich reviews:

Turkey Cheddar & Bacon Flatbread (Toasted)
(Dunkin' Donuts)
The Reggae Reggae Sub
(Subway)
Japanese sandwich
(CO OP)
Ham and Cheese
(Starbucks)
Chicken & SunBlush Tomato Relish Wrap
(Yummy Food Co)

Fact-o-tron

Random fact of the moment:
The take-off trim rigged position for the F-15A/B/C/D horizontal stabilators are 4.8 to 5.2 inches trailing edge (F-15C/D references use similar opposing leading edge dimensions) up above the stab reference mark for the right stab and 4.8 to 5.2 (+ 0.0 to + 0.8 and - 0.0) on the left stab. This stabilizes the weight difference off the fuselage centerline of the right-side internally mounted gun and, more importantly, the gyroscopic precession of the turbofan engines.

Bolog number 728 - Page 1 of 1

Technological Marvels of the Future

A while back, the tech-press mumbled a lot about a device that goes between your mobile [cell] and your SIM that effectively unlocks your phone. Yeah right. A device that unlocks any GSM phone, regardless of manufacturer ? Does it come with snake-oil dressing ?

One evening as I was reading news of this miraculous device, I had consumed just enough red wine to lubricate my credit card so that it slid from my wallet and forced me to buy one. Remember kids: don't drink and HTTP.

I forgot about that particular purchase until today, when a little jiffy bag arrived in the post from Hong Kong. It took a while to find the tiny contents, but once I realised what it was, I tried using with an AT&T SIM, in a T-Mobile locked phone. When I powered up the phone...it worked...perfectly.

There's no way you could possibly make a little device that unlocks all phones. But they have. I'm very excited. It means that teleport and time-travel will be with us in a matter of weeks.

Damned clever these Chinese.
