Repairing broken iPhone Cellular Network
A few days ago I started having issues with my new iPhone 4S, where I could not get ANY data whatsoever over the Cellular network.
I rang eMobile this morning and they told me to just plug it into iTunes to update the settings.
However, a quick google let me to the page below, where I just had to Reset my Network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) then all was back to normal and working. (Although WiFi networks were forgotten so I had to re-type in the passwords)

Weather getting freaky in Ireland !
Heavy winds and rain overnight, so it was no surprise to wake up this morning to see a Servere Weather Warning in effect, including a Tornado Warning! See: TORRO - Severe Weather Forecast
A little unbelievable, were it not for 2 minor tornado’s on Cork last week, See: RTE
What cruel person would leave 2 dogs outside all day in that….. erm, sorry lads.
Oracle software standards come to Java
There’s long been and unwritten rule for Oracle Database users: “Never use R1 of the product, always wait for R2″.This was especially true with Database 10g.
Now it seems this same issue has come to Java, with Java 7 being released with some glaring issues, Oracle early adopters known this path well.
Its a pity, as before now, Java releases tended to be uptaken pretty quickly.

Heineken Cup Final, rip-off prices in Cardiff!
So, I’m off to Cardiff for Saturday’s Heineken Cup Final (via a 6:40am flight from Belfast to Birmingham and a train journey to Cardiff).
I collected my €76 tickets yesterday to see I’m in section U5.
A quick look at the stadium map shows these are not great seats, a little too high up; especially for that price.
Then I had a little look at the Ticketmaster.co.uk prices…. For section U5 the Heineken Cup final Tickets are category B, but for regular home internationals they are category D.
£65 vs a regular price of £30.
What a rip-off!

Judgement day, the rise of the machines starts slowly….
Judgment day (T2 ftw) was yesterday ….. And despite the lack of mushroom clouds on the horizon, we woke today to complete turmoil* … With core parts of the Internet and technology infrastructure in disarray. I for one am imagining a robotic Arnie walking through the aisle’s in Amazon’s data centre destroying it piece by piece.
Amazon EC2 goes down, taking with it Reddit, Foursquare and Quora

Every two days now, we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.
Wow, that’s an insane increase in data volumes!
