I was woken this morning by a call from British Telecom. It seems I hadn't paid my phone bill (oops) and as part of cost-cutting measures, instead of sending out the red reminder letter it's cheaper for them to call you and remind you. Fair enough. Except the woman calling me was in India. It boggles the mind to think it's cheaper for them to call me from India rather than send out a reminder letter.

There was an amusing story on the morning news (it didn't involve Beckham, really). It seems a new study claims that in 50 years' time the entire population of the United States will be obese. Uh, yeah, a very believable story there. On the other hand, the author of the study did make a pretty good point. Our bodies haven't changed much genetically over the last thousand or so years, but our lifestyle has. Before, calories were expensive, hard to come by and immediately burnt off by all the hard labour we had to do. Now, calories are everywhere and it's the labour (read: gym) that's expensive!

I finally tackled and beat one of the last remaining page bugs, and now the mobile version of the site -- which consists solely of a download area for wallpaper right now -- is split into seperate pages, to make it easier to scroll through the huge list of wallpaper available. Given that I finally figured out how to add seperate pages (it's not the same as HTML), I might add more to the mobile version -- suggestions here please!

D-Day is approaching fast; the move is scheduled for June 30th. 12 days and counting...
