Taking a break
I've been having a rest from blogging recently. Apologies for not doing the rounds.
Yesterday, Sunday, I set out on a bike ride which may last anything from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on how my legs and bottom hold out. I don't have a real plan although originally I was going to head for France and mingle with "Le Grand Boucle". We'll see. I'll update this blog with progress
Yesterday I left home and covered 80km or so to westwards to Olten.
I also have a new toy - an iPhone 3GS. One of the fun/useful/distracting things about this is it's GPS capabilities. The other is the amount of slick applications you can install. I've installed something called Airme which uses the phone's camera to take photos and upload them to, for example, Picasa.

It automatically Geo-tags them so they are magically added to the Picasa map view option. Of course, the photos are crap, but it's an interesting, and blindingly simple way of recording what you've been doing.
