So last year I had a couple of appearances on The Morning Show and Sunrise on Channel 7, but then I couldn’t do a session and I suggested my good friend (and now my new boss) Seamus Byrne to fill in for me. Since then, I haven’t been back… until this morning. Shay did such a great job they kept calling him back, but this morning he couldn’t do the segment, so passed the buck back to me.

It was a lot of fun, although the app I was speaking about was kind of crap… But I can happily say Larry Emdur is a champ.

• My plan to upgrade to iOS4 before heading into work was a mistake. 25 minutes later and I'm still waiting… #
• Decided to abort ios4 update until I get to work. Too much to do today… #
• Grrr. Why can't I ever spell "multiplier" right first time around. I know how to spell it, but every time I type my fingers insert a 'y'. #
• So iOS4 update is slower than expected. Been going since about 9:00, and the phone backup doesn't seem to have moved at all. Sigh. #
• Officially giving up on the iOS4 update until I get home again. Stupid iPhone. #

• Think I'm about to majorly regret the fact I forgot my umbrella today. #
• Yep. I'm now wet. And puffed, from running up William street. That's right nerds – said I ran. #
• Debating whether or not I should start helping the two guys playing with their new 3GS opposite me on the train… #
• OH: "Can you download Bluetooth onto it? Not much point if you can't download Bluetooth on it." #
