@da wanqsta: Brilliant performance by the Hammers.
Francois is still around, I occassionally see him on facebook, dunno about Falcon though. The only reason I've not been posting as much because of work and other personal committments- like a girlfriend.

@ Hobbster,
Nah, why Tahoma, or Century Gothic or Helvitica? All BORING fonts, splitting hairs between their form and shape.
Go on, be a brave soldier and try something that's more individualistic and up my street, like Adept, Algerian or Old English Text? LOL, could be a bugger to read the last one though... 
Then email one of these to try too, and I'll happily take some screenshots of it as well. 
Yeah, I'm a fussy wanqa .

Believe me the splitting of hairs isnt an issue when it comes to putting fonts on your phone.For instance Heltivica zoomed on large is about the size of your small with your default font.I have tried a shitload of so called Braveheart fonts and believe me most of them are unreadible on your phone.Its a truly hit and miss affair.Testing a font on your pc doesnt help much either cause it might look amazing on your pc but totally different on your phone.Ok Tahoma is a pretty boring font but balanced wise,spot on.Still, give it a try.I think its the neat and tidy part of me that likes it.And with zoom small medium and large works whereas most fonts you will try it pretty much works only one of those setting or maybe two.

OK, I kinda appreciate now that it involves far more than what just literally meets the eye. Pardon my brute ignorance re the Dark Art Of Installing Workable Fonts.

Also with those fancy fonts you most of the time find most of the symbols are missing and some are added that you've never seen before.Also a good font can sometimes revive your passion for your phone if it was somewhat waning.

@ Branimir,
LOL, I ask myself that question a good few times when it's Winter here... fortunately the Summers are usually fantastic; just wish they'd last longer.
@ Kryptik,
Excellent news, boet. 
We get one half-day off at school a week for 'PPA' (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) and I still find it nigh on impossible to keep up with all the admin here..

@ Hobbs
Im SO confused, im loving my N81, multitasking is amazing, im able to run OperaMini, MXit, Web, Music Player, Opera8.65 and X-Plore and still have enough ram to play a game or two and this makes me wonder who needs 90mb ram? Lol anyway what im trying to say is that im enjoing it and although my friend's N95-8gb is packed with features im realy not lusting for it anymore,im actualy not that interested in it and like JC08 said can't wait 3GSM is coming up so we may see the N96 being announced hopefully i can get that in July when i upgrade. YAY can't wait til you get the E90, realy is an attractive and powerful phone.
Im unable to find a screenshot app that shows Landscape screen shots,i recently signed and installed an app named Landscape Pro which by a press of the 'C' button makes the UI of the phone go in to Landscape or Portrait (normal) this was going to be my next blog entry but ive had to put that on hold til i find a good screenshot app. Im going to do the Web Browser and Search app tonite and post it tomorrow

Cool Gucci.Really pleased you loving your phone.That N81's multitasking abilities sounds very impressive.Some 'big boys' there all running together and still being able to throw in a game or two.Wow.Nice one.Yeah,E90,thats the one I want.Going to try beg Vodacom to give it to me 4 months before my upgrade is due as apposed to 2 months.That chops my 124 day in half to about 64 days which is so much more bearable.The E90 will become the master and the P990i the slave.Its a shame but technologies progression leaves me no choice.I need HSDPA.I need a bigger screen with more colours.I need more RAM,video rec at 30fps,3.2mp cam ect ect Basically,Im a 6month/1year kind a guy when it comes to phones.And the thought of having a UIQ3 phone and a S60 phone is quite a nice thing.You can wonder between the two communities.Kewl.

Hey Brix.Don't you find it strange that these festive colour lights on the poles down Main Road Sea Point are still on considering the power problems we experiencing.They were switched on about an hour and a half before it was even dark.Bizarre.

This damn Senegalese goalie has made some match winning saves.Jesus the amount of chances we've had and just cant finish.Bugger McCarthey for been such a prima dona.We need his sharp shooting boots.And what happened to Quintin Fortuin.Where'd he disappear to? The days of Fish,Tovey and Radebe.Thats when I used to watch Bafana.Now,Id rather take a Rohypnol and go sleep.Someone needs to put these little boys in the gym to beef up.They like 2nd rate athletes.
