Alpari was hosting a breakfast event these past 2 weeks with city am and Bloomberg. I had the opportunity to attend it today, some interesting speech by George from Alpari, the overall message was forex right now is a good opportunity for short term investors due to it’s current volatility.

Over the past weekend , I purchased a new gadget for the home.

After many months of trying to purchase this range of NAS from Buffalo, I was able to buy one for the bargain price of £49.95 + £10 del, a bargain specially how this NAS is so open to hacking as it is running Linux kernell.

I’ve already been able to run custom firmware, which gave me a UPnP media server for my Xbox 360, also been able to add a bittorrent client with web GUI thanks to the “Stevie Wonder” firmware, I have however removed the Twonky media server from this build as I prefer the uShare media server being that it is freeware.
Right now I’ve got a few things waiting to be installed, like a usenet client with web GUI, and want to add Lighthttp so that I can serve a website from the little linkstation live, considering it only uses about 11w.
I’ll post some updates on how I get along with.

Well after a few months with my omnia I decided it was time for a upgrade to a new phone.
After much deliberation I went with the new Iphone 3GS, the decision was simple, the Palm Pre comes to UK in October, and the iPhone is already here.
So which one did I get? I went with the 3GS 32GB, I have to say I’m really impressed with it, it’s fast and I have way to many apps to run on it.
Without further a do here is a pic of the new phone.( Which I nicked earlier on, as I’m typing this post from the iPhone )
