Paranoid Android

 So Google have finally come clean about what they want to do in the phone space.  It's been widely leaked inside the industry for a few months now, but it's nice to have it out in the open.  The noise the more astute of you may have heard yesterday was Microsoft, Symbian and Nokia letting out their breath in a relaxed fashion.  Why?

Hypochondria Lurks

 I've been fighting off a cold for about 2 weeks and it's bugging me, just after my trip to Europe I had a slightly sore throat which cleared up to be replaced by a runny nose, and as that clears up, I've got a slightly sore throat again, only in a slightly different way.  Nothing debilitating just I noticed it.  

I'm only really thinking about it because I have a huge number of Doctor related things to do as part of the Green Card application which we have to do on the 23rd.  They need to check my vacination records - which we're ordering from the NHS and then I'll have to have the usual blood tests (STDs and HIV and TB), then I'll have to make up any vacinations I'm short on.  *sigh*, not all that keen myself.

Then with all that coming up, you start thinking is there something really wrong, or is it just that having only had one cold in the last 2.5 years I've just forgotten what being ill is like.

I suspect it's the later.
