Fuck me it's quiet in here.
Just playing with my new toy that's finally arrived. In truth, the Galaxy Tab is not a bad little piece of kit. I'm just in the midst of having to teach the bloody thing to cocking well swear which makes for a fun morning. What are you lot up to?

I had to teach my Galaxy to swear too. Swype has a bit of a problem with words it's never heard before. I had to tap in a lot of words first. My phone probably thinks I'm a navvy.

Just need to root this thing so it will pick up the connection from my phone. Superoneclick so far hasn't done very well. I'm sure there is a way though.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:08, Reply)

Cool, I don't know Android that well, but you want to look for the search terms "Personal Hotspot" / "Mifi".
I don't get why Android needs rooting, I thought anyone can publish anything in their app store?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:11, Reply)

It isn't Android per se.
Barnacle WiFi does the job normally but the Tab won't see the connection, mainly due to Samsung's customisations of Android.

Rooting is the same as jail breaking in any case though. Thanks for the advice I will look into it.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:15, Reply)

Hmm, it should see it as just a standard wifi spot, if that's how it works.
Yeah', but the whole point of jailbreaking is to run unautherized code... there isn't such a thing in the ethos of android.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:17, Reply)

On pure Android, yes, to a point.
Handset manufacturers have markedly different ideas though. Besides most people just accept how their devices work. Not me, I like to tinker.

And as for my phone WiFi, I think it's something to do with the supplicant file on the Tab that only works a certain way.

I don't understand the wine guy on Saturday Kitchen.
The fact that I don't really like wine is irrelivent, it's that he chooses a wine to go with every dish. The veriations of wine aren't much more than red/white/rosie. It's a single ingredient, such as saying 'saussage', like sure you've got beef/pork/other. OK, sure, with wine you've got Burgandy or Kianty or whatever, but same sassuage, you've got chorizo or sage or whatever.

If he expanded it to all drinks, I could understand it a bit better.

(The Luggage is haunted..., Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:10, Reply)

Oh, I can understand the art of picking a bottle of wine to go with any dish
What I don't understand is why he has to act like such a flamboyant twat while he's doing so.
(LongJohnBaldry, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 11:59, Reply)

Wine ends up tasting differently due to many, many factors, Gonz
It's much more complicated than the colour, or the type of grape used. it's not as complicated as wine snobs want you to think, though.
( Kroney, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 12:01, Reply)

Yeah', I totally agree, but it's just wine, sometimes different beers are in order, sometimes cocktail/juices/soft-drinks etc.
It's so limiting, but it shows up in every dish.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 12:28, Reply)

Wines taste radically different depending on what you're eating
It's weird - Syrah tastes like sauerkraut when drunk on its own but of berries when drunk with a casserole, for example.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 13:01, Reply)

not just for food, there are particular wines that are good
for drinking while arsing about online, wines for swigging round a campfire and wines for drinking in shop doorways.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 12:09, Reply)

It's a matter of personal preference.
If you like physical keyboards, get a netbook. If you don't, then a fondle slab is the way to go. Android is a little cheaper on that score, but there is no real difference to be honest.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Sat 9 Jul 2011, 12:16, Reply)

proper lol for fondle-slab
I think I want a keyboard - I like the idea of using it in a cafe and pretending I'm just a bohemian writer
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 9 Jul 2011, 12:17, Reply)

There you go then.
Also, netbooks are cheaper than either and can be Windows based.

Or do I go to the new Dobbies garden centre where they don't have the trellis but they have a fabulous coffee shop, great cakes and blackcurrant wine?
