1. Lost mobile on Saturday. Boo. Will be sorting a new one, but am not contactable via anything but email for a few days. (And will have to re-request and re-enter lots of numbers. Double boo.).

2. Had good night out (also coincidentally on Saturday) in celebration of [livejournal.com profile] swisstone's birthday. Good to see people. (Told you I was feeling better.)

3. Took a day away from the Wordcount of Nano yesterday and edited the story so far. For eleven hours. Eeek! And, *applause*. I clearly have little short-term memory, so the continuity stinks: on the other hand there are some surprisingly good bits, especially considering that much of it's been written in extreme haste and before the sun's up. Anyway! 3K to go for Nano: probably about 5-10K to go for story.

4. CAMBRIDGE PEOPLE: a friend is suffering badly from noisy neighbours, and has complained to council without 100% success. Advice? Offers of visits with big sticks?

Where does your friend live in Cambridge? Some areas have more problems that others. If it's a rental house next door, for instance, she could complain to the letting agency, and, if it's students, to their relevant college/institution.

The last couple of times I've seen you, you've definitely looked like Tanya again. And it's extremely good to see!

Geek answer syndrome ...

... many modern phones have something called "SyncML" in them ... it's a standard synchronising standard for things like phone numbers.

And then there are companies like Mobical (https://www.mobical.net/mobical/main/) which allow you to synchronise (for free) your phone to their server ... this means that you can store all your numbers there and if you phone gets lost/broken, you just sync back from the server and you have all your contacts back again.

No phone cables, no configuring Outlook Express, no worries about incompatible formats (well, few worries)

Hope that helps in the future
