I am in the process of updating my iPhone to the new 3.0 release.  I have blogged about this recently and of course when it became available here in Europe I was excited.  So I downloaded it (nice and quickly).  Then when I went to upgrade it told me that the activation server was unavailable.  The fact that my kids with iPod touches did not have this problme (plus I paid for it ) was annoying.

But I decided there were at least 5 things I could do in the meantime that are of muc more value.

1. Tidy my desk.  My desk is in a mess with all my manuals, Spanish books and print outs.  iPhone server may still be available but my desk will be accessible.
2. Catch up on my e-mail and paperwork and update my todo list on paper – it is a day or two old.
3. My running log and marathon plan is on track currently but I need to print out my calendar so I have my goals for next week.  VIsible goals are important.
4. Have a beer – there is a nice cold one in the fridge MUCH  nicer than any OS.
5. Write this blog for you and prepare a review for tomorrow for the blogosphere.

As the US awakes I guess it could be tomorrow before I am upgraded. Sigh back to the beer.
