Please describe to us how does your typical day look like, with particular attention to the way you're using and interacting with your mobile phone and the internet

I usually sleep at odd hours. I'm up to catch the mornings in the UK. I check the time on Boingo (my cell) and check both my gmail and yahoo accounts from there. At this point it's the middle of the night, NYC time

[city_of_dis]

It's so awesome (albeit not entirely surprising) that your cell is named Boingo. Love you!

[bronxelf_ag001]

Love you too, but I thought you knew it was named Boingo.

[city_of_dis]

Not that I can recall - but then again, my memory is awfully weird and works in mysterious ways. It's possible that I DID know, but just didn't know right this second. Stranger things have happened.

I normally wake up to my alarm, which is always is set at least and hour or more before I actually NEED to get up, and hit the snooze button on it at least 3 times often rendering the whole thing pointless, waking up with 15 mintues to be where I need to be and a 30 minute walk between me and there

[spaceshuttle012]

Thanks for this detailed sharing. With your "tube" and "flat" as well as "carrier branded cellphone" I assume you live in London...

[slipmesomething]

Heh, n'ah, I live in Glasgow, Scotland. Although I was born in north east London.

[spaceshuttle012]

Got ya. I guess it's my ignorance about how far "tube" and "flat" extend beyond the British borders...

Until I get to work in the morning, I am technologically barren. As I mentioned elsewhere, I only use my phone for calling for a ride or a change of plans; rarely will I use it privately to vent about something to a friend or yell at the family

I set both my phone alarm and my computer alarm and use those to wake up. I do have regular clocks, but my computer alarm at least forces me out of bed and to be coordinated enough to use my touchpad

[spaceshuttle012]

So you prefer to keep track of notes on paper rather than digitizing them, right? Then I guess you want to have Palm Pilot mainly to avoid carrying your laptop around?

[evilsimon]

It would be a nice bonus, but I don't particularly need a Palm Pilot at this point in my life. Sometime when my life is a little more hectic, perhaps.

[spaceshuttle012]

Makes sense. I don't really see why one would use Palm at this point, when you have almost everything in a cellphone + a laptop, Palm is not really essential. I would find it redundant personally.
How often do you use your notepad (myndology notebook?) and how is it for your to retrieve and manage information you've stored in it?

My phone is my alarm clock at the moment. I've downloaded some ringtones in the past, but I don't have internets on this phone (although I'm trying to convince my sister, with whom I share a plan, to get it added to the plan), so there's no emaily for me. I need to get around to using TxtLJ, because that's something that I think I can use, and there's lots of times when I want to post something and just can't get to a computer

[spaceshuttle012]

In what ways did you upload photos from your cellphone to MoBlogUK; Email or MMS?

[chowyunsmut]

Email, back when I had that on my plan. And I will again! With god as my witness, I'll have email on my cellular plan again!!!

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

[spaceshuttle012]

ahahaa! :-) being a crackberry I can sympathize...
Just out of curiosity: what were you using MoBlogUK for which you can't find on LJ?
