Two weeks ago I bought a second hand Nokia N81 8GB mobile phone on eBay, and I just wanted to say: Screw you, Nokia.

Nokia’s latest model phone, the N96, also has 8GB flash memory. It runs the same Symbian operating system. It looks IDENTICAL. Yet, it is £500. Mine cost £150, and the only thing it doesn’t do that the N96 does seems to be watching terrestial TV, which I wouldnt want to do anyway. My phone has internet radio, MSN and other messengers and it can run a server rendered client for Second Life. Simultaneously.

If you want a good phone, buy an old Nokia.

Seeing as my last two posts were completely irrelevant, I should probably take this moment to say: Why the fuck? No one actually reads these things, right? Why would people want to read about my also seemingly irrelevant life? Don’t you people have anything better to be doing?

No? Didn’t think so.

So far 22 people have asked me why my name in second life is alpha. This is apparantly because furries automatically assume it refers to my sexuality, which I find quite funny, because not one yet has thought of any other possible meaning. Alpha is the firt letter in the Greek alphabet (α) and means ‘new beginning’.

tl;dr - It doesn’t mean I’m dominant.
