ciphergothI am sitting on a train from Waterloo to Wimbledon, to meet Jess from work. Update for anyone not living in the UK: it is fucking hot. And humid, too. We are all starting to dread what August will be like.

cipher_photo today. I'm having fun. I'm now constantly scanning for things to photograph, and I've practised how fast I can get my phone out and take a photograph. I'm sure ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spikeylady's mick-taking is right, and I'll soon be evaluating phones on how good the camera is and whether it has a flash - except of course that the Treo 600 is the only Palm-based cameraphone, and they are apparently in short supply, so I won't be letting go of this one any time soon.
I still think the cameraphone is essentially a crazy idea, driven by a solution looking for a problem rather than any natural technological convergence. I have only once tried to send a "picture message" - a weird idea. But frankly, put any old gimmick in something I have with me all the time and I'm likely to see what use I can put it to.
I had an idea today and I thought I should describe it here in case it's original - general patent-warding practice. But that will have to wait until tomorrow morning...
