26 Feb 11 Sheepish
Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd, ‘If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?’
The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax, enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables. He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer, turns to the shepherd and says, ”You have exactly 1,586 sheep.’
The shepherd cheers, ‘That’s correct, you can have your sheep.’
The young man takes one of the animals from the flock and puts it in the back of his Porsche.
The shepherd looks at him and asks, ‘If I guess your profession, will you return my animal to me?’
The young man answers, ‘Yes, why not?’
The shepherd says, ‘You are an auditor.’
‘How did you know?’ asks the young man.
‘Very simple,’ answers the shepherd. ‘Firstly, you came here without being wanted. Secondly, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Thirdly, you don’t understand anything about my business….. Now can I have my dog back?’

25 Aug 08 New Blackberry Gmail
Google have released an updated Gmail app for the Blackberry – v2.05
This update allows a lot more features that you’re familiar with on your desktop or laptop based Gmail. You can now see your outbox, and mobile draft mails. Also, you can view your contacts, and call them from your address book. If you’ve signed up for Google apps, and use your own domain, there is support for that too. You can also set up multiple accounts, again as you are able to do on your comptuer version.
It also seems to load up a little faster.
Simply go to http://m.google.com/mail on your ‘berry to grab the new beast. It downloads quickly, and usually requires a reboot, and then you’re good to go.
