iPhone 2.2

The latest update to the iPhone came out today. I’m not going to go into all of the new features implemented in the latest version, you can find out about them all here. I do have a comment on one change though. In Safari, why have changed the address & search box from having a line each to now being crammed into a single line? While this does free up more space on the page, I’m not especially interested in the content of the page while putting a new address or search terms. That’s annoying.

Other than that, I’m hoping that 2.2 will cure the crashes of Safari and Facebook that I’ve been encountering. Safari will sometimes crash when scrolling through a big page and Facebook just crashes randomly sometimes. I haven’t noticed either crash since I updated, but I haven’t used it that much today. I’ll comment back on how I get on.

It’s been a quiet year on this here blog. To be honest, I just haven’t had the time or inclination to write anything of particular note on here. There are reasons for that and I’m hoping that by dealing with them now I’ll free up time and head space for this place again. I know that I’ve said similar before and a lot of other people have gone for a long break, said they’ll post more often and then disappear again, but I do not plan on actually delivering on my plan this time.

Anyway, this evening Katie & I watched “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”. It was a very long film, but I enjoyed the breathing space this gave to the story. It was a great film to watch on Blu-ray too, which helps. It reminded me a little of “The Talented Mr Ripley”, only much better because I actually enjoyed it…
