What password?

Why did my phone's alarm either not go off or wake me up on time this morning?

And more importantly, when I turned it on, why was it asking me for a password? (I have a PIN on my SIM card, but this wasn't prompting me for that)

After trying every password it could possibly be, I did a reset, and fortunately, the password prompt went away.

So either there's a weird bug in Windows Mobile 6, I set a password on it in my sleep (unlikely), or someone else did this (also unlikely).

The last thing I did before I turned out the light was to confirm that the alarm was set (so there wasn't a password set then), so this is very odd.

If your 'Show Desktop' icon is missing from the Quick Launch toolbar

then this is how you put it back.

Tracking what I'm doing

I've traditionally used a paper diary to record my daily work activities. At our team meetings, I then use this to report what I've been doing in the last week.

I leave the diary on my desk at work, so one problem is when I work at home, I need to try and remember the next day what I did.

I considered another blog for this purpose, but all I need is somewhere private that I can record short notes. Even better if they get timestamped.

The two possible candidates that I'm trialling are Google Notebook and Twitter.

Twitter kind of makes sense, except that I generally don't want these notes to be public, so if it isn't possible to keep them private then Notebook will probably win out.

We'll see if I prefer online to offline, but at least my typing is easier to read (and faster to enter) than my handwriting :-)
