Getting dirty
Had a fairly productive weekend. Replaced cam belt and water pump, welch plug in front of the engine and a coolant reroute from around the back. Car is running and nothing horrible like getting a tooth wrong on the belt. I have a slight leak on the rear housing but it should be easy to fix, just remove and refit and check the gasket is sitting properly. Of note I discovered the Mazda B6 engine from the Japanese NB uses the same water pump as a BP engine and not that of the earlier NA B6’s.

Oh Microsoft…
The more things change the more things stay the same. 20 years in and I still have to restart my computer for an update to some blogging software?

iPhone 4 crash
My iPhone 4 crashed today. It became completely unresponsive to the power button and hard reset. I plugged it into a power source (I knew it should have at least 70% power left) but it was still unresponsive. Several hours later I performed a hard reset and the phone was working again. Why did it crash? Who knows. I’m running official software (no jailbreak here) no updates are available and the only hard-core thing I had done with the phone all day was make a phone call! I hope this doesn’t become a common occurrence with the new device. That said, I do really like the phone, the screen and it’s revised camera. But if the phone becomes completely unresponsive it really fails at it’s primary purpose.

Apple Battery Charger
Whilst I have heard of the Apple battery charger, it has recently come to my attention due to a staff request for one at work. I have heard on the TWIT podcasts that the batteries included with the Apple battery charger are actually the same chemical make-up as the Sanyo Eneloop batteries. These batteries can retain 80 percent of their charged capacity and potentially last for up to 10 years of service life. Whilst people could just go out and buy any rechargeable batteries I think it is good there is now an option for those who will only buy products branded with a fruity label.
