Woke up today to a nice e-mail from someone called Stef. I’m guessing Stef works for Bliin (either that or she just bloody loves it) because she was asking me to give it another try, because there’s been a couple of changes. Seen as I’ve got a face that looks like I did a few rounds with Ricky Hatton it’s not like I could much to do today, so I thought why not.

First things first. It works if you put the time into it and your patient. The other day when I tried it, I was in a bad mood I guess, and had no patience. The software for your phone is still a bit dodgy, but I’ll come to that later. After getting a lock on, my missus looked at the computer and found me easily. She tracked me while I went round the corner to the chippy.

Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll see when you’re looking at Bliin on your PC. And that’s me, bang in the middle. Sorry about the poor photo, but it was my test image.

One massive plus point is that today I actually managed to upload the photo, unlike the other day where it just did nothing. Stef confirmed what I thought, the servers were a bit busy, so everything was backing up.

I’ve still got one little problem with it. The software. It’s really hard to type anything, it sometimes won’t go past a screen saying Press 0 for menu. Press what you want, it won’t move!

When it works, this is a pretty awesome little thing though. The missus was genuinely amazed watching me drive around on this little map. I’ll be looking forward to the next version to come out, because this could turn into something seriously good.

Thanks to Stef for taking the time to e-mail me.
