Whats in a name?

Also from Paul is this analysis of my names:-

There are 28 letters in your name.
Those 28 letters total to 136
There are 11 vowels and 17 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 1

The characteristics of #1 are: Initiating action, pioneering, leading, independent, attaining, individual.

The expression or destiny for #1:
A number 1 Expression denotes the skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities. You must develop the capacity to be a fine leader, sales executive, or promoter. You have the tools to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action. Someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this expression belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts. You have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint. You are both ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.

Although you fear loneliness, you want to be left alone. You fear routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind.

The negative attributes of the 1 Expression are egotism and a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is over-emphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. The 1 has a natural instinct to dominate and to be the boss; adhering to the concept of being number One. Again, you do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3

A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn’t appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:
You dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut yourself off from worldly distractions. You can see yourself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending your life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

Searching your desktop with your mobile phone..


Thanks to Silicon Valley Watcher I came across this really cool application by Soonr It enables you to a) Get Skype to call you back on your mobile phone thus giving you access to very low cost international phone calls.
b) Access to your desktop PC enabling you to search your desktop files etc
c) Use your desktop Outlook to check emails on your desktop computer from your mobile phone.

It all installed pretty smoothly and seems to work fine with my Treo650 see thescreenshot.

A toast to the Apple of discord

Tonight I excelled myself by winning the Apple of Discord award at Cambridge Cogers. The Cogers are one, if not the oldest, debating society in the world. Founded in Fleet St. London in 1755
The Cambridge group only started a few months ago.

My talk was on the difference in the morality of a farmer in East Anglia making gallows for executions in Africa and Narus, the company that makes internet equipment that governments use for censorship eg China for blocking VoIP or illegal tapping eg USA
Both folks use the argument that they have no control over what their equipment is used for.

I also mentioned the two canvas’s (A drawing canvas and a boxing ring canvas) used in the prison film I saw some time ago. In response to the speaker who mentioned that something like 60% of the UK prison population is illiterate

David from Toastmaster was the only person I knew there. Toastmaster obviously must have its roots in Cogers, I suspect. Pity Ellee couldnt make it.
