Tim's posterous

And the countdown is on

Before Christmas, an April wedding seemed like such a long time away. Now we've rounded the final corner and are thrust into the finishing straight...

Stag and hen dos are being furiously planned, reception venues are changing (good - we found a corker!), hotels are being booked, outfits selected, the invite list finely whittled and this website being scrubbed for attention from the invited masses.

Are you coming to the wedding of the year?


Yet another metal fatigue on my bike

My handlebar sheared off on Friday on the way home from work. I crashed into the curb, fortunately the car behind me stopped in time.
I spent 4 hours in A&E in Kingston on Friday night having a deep cut to my hand glued back together and have bruises on my arm and thigh from falling into the gutter as the bike crashed.

Should handlebars do that?
Am pursuing the bike manufacturer over this and 2 other failures on the bike over it's 3 year life.

Wallee case for iPad - how to fit

I bought a Wallee case for my iPad 2... Except it's a very tight fit.

The manufacturer says this it's tight (see below) but not impossible.

I watched the video of how to get it to fit but try as I might I could squeeze it on without putting so much pressure on the iPad I thought I might crack the glass.

In the end I put the case in hot water for a few minutes, dried it quickly and then finally did manage to get it on. I think they screwed up the design a bit but nevertheless it does fit. Don't fancy taking it on and off regularly though.

Now got to figure out where to put it!

The Wallee for iPad 2 is a tighter fit than our case for iPad 1.  This is intentional and ensures a secure fit that can be confidently mounted, at the same time allowing us to use a thinner, lighter plastic and keeping any extra thickness to a bare minimum.
