Just wanted to say I'm off to Barcelona so that the last entry on my blog isn't about "The Friend Zone".
Enjoy the British weather :-)

Something I came up with in a conversation earlier this evening...
I have a penthouse in the capital city of Friend-land, where everyone gets along. It's got a fantastic view of the world outside the friend zone, where people are making out with each other and having relationships right in your face. sometimes they broadcast it on TV.
I think about selling the penthouse sometimes, but then I look around and think about what I could be losing, cause on the far side of relationship valley (full of roses and wonderfully starlit evening), I can see the trash-heap of failed romances.
And the only reason I still think abot it, it because I can also see, in the far, far distance on top of a hill in the sunny, happy countryside, the house with the nice garden and the kids playing in itm with an old couple sat outside on rocking chairs. And that signifes a relationship gone right.
...It might have been more poetic if I had spell checked it.

Sometimes the BBC posts things that seem to be there to fill space. My latest example of this is a short video of Rory Cellan-Jones meeting Malcolm Barclay, an iPhone developer. And literally all he does is meet him. There are no serious questions, no hard-hitting journalism, and to those of us that check the Technology section on the BBC fairly regularly (although I admit it's usually the very last place I bother going) common sense. As an added bonus, replace the word "iPhone" with Windows Mobile OS, Linux os, Nokia phones, Xbox 360 or any other application platform you can think of and the same sentence applies. No matter what you're talking it about...
"It can be reasonably easy to build an application for the iPhone, but getting it noticed is a different business altogether."
