End of the C385

Well, that's the end of my Motorola C385. It's been stuck in a drawer for about 5 years now just in case I should need it. I decided to try it out this morning, and found the battery was dead and wouldn't charge anymore.

Unfortunately stores don't carry C385 replacement parts anymore, and it's less expensive to get a new phone than a new battery off the internet.

So I guess it's end of story for my old phone.

Detour

Took a detour off my usual bike route today, to see what was going on at the flag...

I wonder

I wonder if anyone's actually managed to get smacked by one of those things by walking underneath it and thinking it's going to detect them.

Keeps going, and going and going...

Either the gratuitous amounts of caffeine during the holiday break caught up with me, or getting back to the office after 10 days off freaked me out. Because it was 12 AM and I was still going, and going and going...

And that's a wrap

And, with this one, I declare my holidays officially over...

Hill climbing

Took an alternate route home today, had to do quite a bit of hill climbing. The problem wasn't really the hills being steep, but rather them being long. The downhill part was pretty fun, I managed to hit 45 Kph before having to tap the brakes on a blind turn. I figure I could have hit 50, but during rush hour I'd rather skip that trial =)

And this is where 2011 starts

And this is where my year starts off. Downtown, looking for an interesting photograph a little while before sundown. Funny thing, I have yet to find a place that offers a nice panoramic view of the downtown area and doesn't require 50 releases and permits to let you in.

Summer seems to be back, I hope. Not a hint of a drizzle the whole day today. Temps are back around 20C, and I can finally walk around the house without that huge winter coat.. In fact this morning I actually had to get out of bed and open up a window... it was that hot.

Tomorrow's the last day before I have to hit the office again on Monday. Gotta find a way to make the most of it.
