Who? Ian currently spends his days in an office affectionately known as the chicken shed where he designs things and spends time on the web imagining being anyhwere else. Out of hours he can be found living in a two-bedroom semi near Coventry decorated in the 'Scandanavian Style' (i.e. mostly empty). At night, if the sky is clear he is often seen peering through a telescope a faint fuzzy things many light years away.

sorry, that number has expired, please try again later

My most hated recorded message of the moment. Recently I have spent large amounts of time trying to phone a certain mobile phone in Beijing. I know the international code (00 86), the city code (10), which I shouldn't need, and the mobile number (135XXXXXXXX).
It worked once though I can't remember exactly what I dialed. There are only a finite number of ways of dialing 00 86 10 13X leaving bits out.
Now every time I get that damned message. Technology that allows you to talk across 5,500km is great. Technology that almost allows you to talk across 5,500km is the creation of the devil.
