Alexander's

If someone was to ask me:”How was you last month?” I think I’d answer:”I can now understand the allure of living like an eremite.”

How come? Well out of the three consumer electronics devices I own two died within that timeframe. First was my iPhone that decided this world was too crule and consequently threw itself into a constant reboot nirvana. From this I learned that leaving one’s phone lying on the table for too long is not a good idea. They need the excitement of constant usage.

I managed to revive the iPhone, to a state where I can still use WiFi, but the phone part is gone for good. Not having mobile internet access hurts a lot! Well at least it still was a good music player — at least until a week later, when the headphone jack died too!

So now I basically have a sixhundred Euro alarmclock.

But loosing a phone is really no big deal. I just told my (shockingly few) friends to contact me per mail and everything was good. Right up until the day I booted my computer and could not enter the password.

After the first keypress it started to choose random key combinations for me — favourites seemed to be screen brightness and shutdown. Apparently the controller chip for the keyboard died over night while the computer was switched off!

So now I hope my friend will bend over again and learn to contact me with smoke signals. On clear and sunny days they might be more reliable that what I used up until now.

PS: This post has no picture and probably funny spelling, since I had to write it on my iPhone’s tiny screen — half of which is used but the keyboard.
