My Sony Ericsson P990 is still going strong, and despite hankerings for a P1, I just can’t justify the cost when there’s no GPS inside.  I’m going to sit tight for Paris.

Last night I needed to use my P990 as a Bluetooth modem for my laptop, something I’ve done many times before.  Unfortunately, something had changed somewhere and whilst the connection was made, no data was received: problems!  After some googling and not finding anything referring to Orange UK, I stumbled on a Vodafone item that suggested trying *99***5# instead of the normal *99# calling string (’5′ is called the CID).  After replacing the number with 1, 2, 3 & 4, 5 finally worked for me and the GPRS modem ran perfectly.  Today I’m so much happier with the phone than I was yesterday.  Small things, eh.

Well, I’ve made it this far in the preparation with only a slightly injured foot (yep, always the foot). If you’d like to sponsor me for this Sunday’s race, head over to my sponsorship page.

Here’s something to track my sponsorship progress, apparently:

Depending if Hazel lets me borrow her phone, I may broadcast my location to the web as I run…

We had a good covering of snow on Sunday, to coincide with my last run before the London Marathon. Running along the Water of Leith paths was magical.
