I don’t often post personal matters here but as the headline says we’ve had a major happening in the Bell/Joynes household this weekend.
My daughter, Claire passed her driving test on Friday. I didn’t realise until I watched Claire go through the process, just how different it is from the test I took about 40 years ago.
She passed both her theory test and her practical test first time; this apparently, is quite unusual. Well done Claire – it’s quite an achievement these days!
Swype
Oh yes . . . Swype rocks!
Swype is a better way of inputting text on a mobile phone with a virtual keyboard. I was a sceptic; now I’m a convert. If you have an Android phone like my new HTC Desire, you really do need to see this. A new beta programme has just been opened (16 June ’10) but you need to be quick.
Seriously – this is genuinely amazing. I’ve just showed it to a colleague (who can’t have it on her iPhone because Apple have locked down all the keyboard APIs) and she is insanely jealous.
