I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.

Just into a multiday trip and my BlackBerry died. No email, no phone, blank screen.
I haven’t not been continuously connected for 5 years. This is very weird.
To avoid throwing up I’ll try to treat it as an experience. No mobile for 2 days. Don’t like it.

Is Rowan’s offline for a week experience spreading??
Oh dear….sounds like you might be afflicted with a serious dependency disorder….:-)
I regularly (and happily) switch my phone off or leave it in the office when I arrive home in the afternoon, and sometimes don’t even switch it on over the weekend. I find that this “grounds me” back to my family, my passions, my values. This might sound funny to high-speed business people (in fact, I prob fit this category), but I find it soooo refreshing!

What, Xero carry no spares?
That’s weird. Mine just died as well. Maybe some mobile virus going around.
Mines working, however I have heard that there is a GPRS issue with the BBs at the mo, Voda working on it I assume
Caved and got a cheap mobile. Partially connected. Feeling better.
back up now.
Same problem travelling South Island last month for 3 weeks. Coverage goes in and out. Weird feeling not being connected for several days at a time. Kind of unnerving yet nice at the same time!
