Krzysztof D'Aardvark

I'm Nataly. I'm 29 years old.
Maybe we can through letters to know each other's.
A few words about myself:
I consider myself like interesting, womanly, romantic and creative person. I'm faithful and kind woman. I like to spend my free time on the nature, especially at the sea coast. Speaking about my hobbies, I like to draw pictures with oil and coal. At the last time my hobby is also decoration of apartments. Surely, as a social person I like to sped the time in a circle of best friends.
It is ideal for:
I search for the clever, adult man. Which will always love me. Which will want to be with me always. Also will understand me. I will be your small princess, and you will be my prince. And we will love all life each other.

I married my first wife, Karen, in April 1996. She died in May 1996. Since then I have worn both our wedding rings on my right hand, together with a ring that she always wore.

As you can see, I've put on a little timber since then and the rings are now far too small to remove. I getting to the point now where I think my finger may be getting too big to leave the rings on any longer. But that will now mean having them cut off and I don't think I'm ready to do that.

It's either that, or a drastic diet and I'm unlikely to be able to pull that off.

Over a month ago, I blogged about having lived with my HTC Desire for a week. And my overall impression was positive.

Now having lived with it for 6 weeks I can say that I love it as much as it is possible for a man to love a small inanimate object without straying into the realms of perversion.

Since then, one of the main search engine queries that has lead visitors to that page is "HTC Desire close down apps".

This issue is not specific to the HTC Desire but common to all phones and computing devices running Android. Android, unlike Windows or Windows Mobile, does not appear to require or assume that Apps will be closed down when you have finished using them. When you get used to this, it's actually quite liberating. Most apps will simply sit in the background consuming little or no resources ready to pick up where you left off when you come back to them.

With the HTC Desire's 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon it quite happily copes with a high number of most well written apps without slowing down, hanging or crashing.

However, there are people (mostly Windows users) who feel a crippling, OCD like compulsion to close down apps as soon as they're done with them. And then there's the people who download the dodgy, badly written apps that will hogg resources and slow their devices down.

The answer is simple:

This week Sharon bought me a ring made by one of our Twitter friends, Craft Little Mia.

It's a silver ring with the names of our children stamped into it. I absolutely love it.

This photo and video don't really do it justice but it's the best we could do with my phone.

Kelly Brook is all over the place at the moment, in adverts for Reebok Reetone and Ultimo. In my mildly stalkerish mode, here's the Reebok one.

Last week, MicroAardvark (8) came home from Beaver Scouts with a letter to parents about an activity for a food badge. The letter included a tear-off and return slip asking if there was any food he wasn't able to eat or didn't like.

He sat straight down at the table and wrote in a list of 3 food items. They were:

1. Courgette
2. Feta Cheese
3. Olives
   

Today's Monaco GP wasn't a classic, although there were enough incidents and controversy to make an interesting highlights show, I imagine. It did teach us a few things though.

1. By Jesus those Red Bulls are quick! I bet David Coulthard's thinking he may have retired a year or two too early. They seem to be quick on a variety of tracks too, not just a particular type of track like Kubica's Renault.
2. Overtaking hasn't got any easier. The trouble that Alonso had passing cars that he was 2 to 3 seconds quicker than in the early stages demonstrated amply the problems that still beset Formula 1.
3. Michael Schumacher still has a passion and a desire to win. I'll admit it. I'd dismissed Schumacher's return to Formula 1. I thought he'd been out too long and, having won the championship 7 times, wouldn't be able to fire himself up in a mid-tier team requiring at least a year's development to be running at the front. However, that cheeky little move after the Safety Car had gone in showed he still had the desire to grab that extra place and the quick reactions to achieve it.
4. Either F1's rules are badly written or the Stewards don't understand them. Rule 41.3 (or something like that) appears to have deprived Schumacher of that extra place. But it's either written incorrectly or been misunderstood. The rules states: "if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit-lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking". So the Safety Car was always going to leave the track before the finish. The crucial point is whether the finish happened "under the safety car". The teams had been told the safety car was coming in at the end of the of the final lap. Therefore, the finish was not "under the safety car" and Schumacher's pass should be legit. I'm no supporter of Schumacher (although I'm even less a fan of Alonso's) but in my mind the Stewards' decision is incorrect.
5. Either Red Bull driver would make a good champion. I'm unashamed to say my bias is heavily toward Hamilton and Button and, therefore, MacLaren. But it's important for F1 to have a champion that is outgoing, open to the press, interesting to talk about and good fun to watch. Jenson was all of those last year and was for a short while at the start of this season. He's been a little less so when things haven't gone his way. Both Webber and Vettel look like they would enjoy being a champion and share that enjoyment with the world through the media. The Red Bull team celebrations, shown on BBC's Fans' Forum were wild, fun and mad. Excellent TV fodder.

Well, it would appear that TalkTalk have finally seen sense.

What would be REALLY GOOD though, is an app that shows the live timing figures, like what you get on the formula1.com website.

Search as you may, you won't find one. But there is one.

F1Android does just that. It displays the live timing screen on your phone. Fecking superb! It looks bloody beautiful too. Well, it does on my HTC Desire. But with the OMLED screen absolutely everything looks bloody beautiful.

Have you read the letter I wrote to Fredrickson International about the debt they were chasing on behalf of TalkTalk? This is the disappointingly short reply from Fredrickson. At least they appear to have reached the conclusion that the debt is not due. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the end of the story. TalkTalk have decided to continue chasing the debt themselves. Update: It would appear that TalkTalk have finally seen sense.
