ipaq 4150, Sony T610 to browse on Orange over GPRS via bluetooth
Once you have partnered the two bluetooth devices you need to set up a bluetooth dialup connection.
The dialup number should *99***1# where the 1 represents the CID of your GPRS Internet connection (go into the phone, Connectivity -> Data Comm -> Data Accounts -> Orange GPRS Net and you should see CID=1 or similar).
That should be it!
Remember the band Space?
No, not really. Anyway looks like the band and their manager are arseholes.

SpamGourmet
SpamGourmet - another site in the SpamHole mould of self-destructing email addresses.
How spamgourmet works: Set up a forwarding address like someword.x.user@spamgourmet.com where someword is a word you have never used before, x is the number of email messages you want to receive at this address (up to 20), and user is your username.
This disposable email address will be created here the first time BigCorp uses it (you don't have to do anything to create it), and you'll receive at most 3 messages, forwarded to your forwarding address. The rest will be indelicately consumed.
9down - Nice freeware / shareware site
9down - similar to lockergnome

Important note to all Pingu fans
DON'T buy the DVD or Video of "Pingu - Forever". They've changed the sublime music into some horrible cat-being-tortured dirge!

Newcastle Earthquake Appeal
An earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale hit Newcastle last
Wednesday morning. The epicentre was Byker. casualties were seen wandering
aimlessly saying "bang out of order", "mental" and "that did my head in".
The earthquake decimated the area causing in excess of £17.55 worth of
damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza and Corfu were
damaged beyond repair. Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars
were destroyed. Many locals were woken before their Giro's arrived.
One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother of four said "It was
such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running into my bedroom crying,
and my hands were shaking that much that I could hardly skin-up whilst I was
watching Trisha".
The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of Sunny
Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are still
searching through the rubble and have found numerous 'Elizabeth Duke'
sovereigns, benefit books, bone china from Poundstretcher and Argos
catalogues. However they have not managed to save any furniture from Crazy
George's as yet.
How can you help?
This appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. Clothing is most sought
after. Urgently needed are LaCoste tracksuits (his & hers preferably) white
socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny hats, and Reebok trainers. Food parcels
are also needed. They include McCain's Micro-Chips, Aldi Beans, Monster
Munch, and Iceland pizzas. Alcohol is also in short supply, especially White
Lightning Cider and Carlsberg Special Brew.
Cash donations are also needed. 22p buys a Bic biro for signing on, £2.50
buys a jumbo sausage dinner, £3.00 buys a blag CD (not an original copy),
£20 buys a fake M.O.T., (or 10 gallons of red diesel to burn the vehicle
out), and £26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just got back from Kavos.

Category Test
Just seeing if setting the category works in mt.el...
...cool, yes it does. In the buffer window p sets a category as primary and s as secondary. Then C-c C-c sends the post off.
mt.el - emacs interface to movable type
mt.el allows you to edit your Movable Type weblog from inside emacs. It requires elib and xml-rpc.el.
