R4i DSi Card | R4i Adapter for the Nintendo DSi

One of the greatest add-ons for the DS or DSi is an R4i card that allows you to run homebrew (i.e. non-commercial) software allowing you to play movies, MP3s and read e-books etc.

As a by-product, it also allows you to run back-ups of your games from a single Memory Card. I have already lost game cards in the past (well, the kids did, not me) and this makes thing a lot less worrying as there is no swapping of cards.

The R4i DSi Adapter is discussed and reviewed further at R4i-DSi-Adapter who also have a further 10% discount code promotion that is ongoing.

Ivan Cameron

I haven't written on my blog for a while, but I feel personally moved today to write here.

Ivan was only 6 years old when he passed away, dying at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London earlier today.

As I share the same name as David Cameron, I often hear 'my' name being called out on the TV news and the kids taking great delight in telling me that Daddy - David Cameron is on the television again. Perhaps that is why I feel tremendous affinity with for David, Samantha and their children today.

No parent should expect that they outlive their child and my deepest thoughts and sympathy reaches out to the Cameron family today and the coming days as they grieve over the loss of Ivan.

Zimbabwe - what it were an oil giant?

Grrrrrrrr.....

The circumstances over the last few weeks have really annoyed me.

Mugabbe is no better than Saddam Hussain in my view. The world condemns, but sits by and observes and Tut Tuts to the despicable regime.

Short and sweet by my standards, but I can't help thinking that if Zimbabwe were an oil rich nation then the US and others would be dropping troops in to the country tomorrow proclaiming regime change is necessary.

Aren't politicians incredibly two-faced?

When phones were for making phone calls.


The latest great Nokia N78 is another new phone with GPS inbuilt, but this phone has yet another new feature that I haven't seen in a phone before - instead of just having a FM receiver to listen to a radio station on the move, this phone also features an FM transmitter in order that you can pick up music from your phone collection.

Does that confuse you ... it certainly confused me. If you have a radio, then what is the point other than the ability to pick exact tracks. If you are like me, then the radio is just some background noise when driving.

Ah well .... for those of you that aren't old fogies like me and like your new all-singing multifunction toys, then here is the blurb on the new phone for you:


Nokia N78 now available
£299.99 SIM free. Contract deals expected this week.
The Nokia N78 is a fully featured multimedia phone. With built-in GPS you can find your location quicker, and automatically tag your photos with your location which you can share with your friends when you upload the pictures online.
Music playback is a main feature of the N78, with up to 24 hours playback, a 3.5 mm audio output jack and the ability to easily synchronise your music collection or rip CDs directly to your Nokia N78.
There’s an FM radio built-in and also an FM transmitter, which allows you to play your music collection from your phone to a nearby stereo (such as your car radio) using a free FM frequency.
The 3.2 megapixel camera has autofocus and a Carl Zeiss lens. it can take photos at a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels and can record video at 15fps. Your can ppload your photos and video to your favourite online community like Flickr or YouTube in a single key press. High speed Wi-Fi and HSDPA allows you to upload media quickly.

The Empowering Internet - getting the right deal


The Internet has come a long way since it first linked a few institutions and provided limited information sets.
Today, we have come to expect the Internet to be a vast library of information and resources at our fingertips and now many of us must wonder what life would be like without access to the Internet.
As consumers, we now have much information to digest allowing us to check others experience of products and services (e.g. honest hotel reviews or real life experiences of using products), enabling us to decide exactly what product is right for us.
So.....

theoretically getting the right product for the right price.

The snag which has recently been pointed out and which may be subject to a regulatory review is that many price comparison services (espec. insurance or utility comparison services) are either promoting deals which are not best for the consumer but earn them the highest commission or more questionably simply choosing to ignore and not to feature cheaper deals.

Comparison engines really only work when they present all available data in an unbiased way and allow the consumer to make the right choice for them.

Mobile phones are a case in point ... the comparison of the phones themselves is relatively straightforward, but the complicated set of tariffs and array of 'gift' offers makes it difficult to compare the deals on offer.

I am personally pleased to be able to promote OneStopCompare - a site dedicated to bring all comparison services to consumers attention such that they get the chance to understand all pricing options available to them rather than seeing a skewed version of the market.

OneStopCompare has to start somewhere and therefore starts dealing with one of the most complex pricing areas with a confusing sets of deals imaginable i.e. Mobile Phone Deals.

My new comparison service is now pulling all known internet available data feeds to give the consumer every chance of picking the right deal across the networks and phone suppliers, providing prices in a comparable way ... do you want a free laptop?... then what is the cheapest contract commitment to enable you to get that deal? OneStopCompare aims to provide you with exactly the unbiased data you need to make that choice.

Whilst I will be trying to bring other deals to the table in the same unbiased way (e.g. utility deals), please let me know if I have missed other available datafeeds for Mobile Phone Deals to enable me to keep my promise of unbiased information. If the feed is available, then I will aim to incorporate it too .... customer is king!!

Earn money online - Tutorial starting

Over the last few months, I have started doing some Affiliate Marketing on a very part-time basis, making several hundred pounds using different techniques that take very little time to manage.

I am a novice to Affiliate Marketing, so I figure that if I can do it then anyone can and I want to share my learnings and to provide tutorials starting from basics that anyone can follow to make some decent money from the internet.

I have a full time job and don't spend a whole lot of time on developing my sites, but am averaging around £200 earnings per month so far. So... whilst not earth-shattering, it is very much commensurate with spending only 2-3 hours per month in working it ..... and with ext to no promotion.

Because David Cameron's Diary is a collection of random thoughts and outpourings, I have set up a seperate blog over at Affiliate Stores which will be dedicated to providing latest news on Affiliate Marketing and a distinct set of messages and tutorials.

Why not sign up to the RSS Feed. As each tutorial completes, I will prepare an e-book available to all subscribers with chapter and verse on each topic in very easy to read and follow structures.

US Petroleum Holdings - is it a scam?

Nearly three months ago I posted concerns about calls I received concerning investment in US Petroleum Holdings. The calls were very theatrical and raised alarm bells with me.

I am amazed that considering the varied nature of the posts that I make here, Google Analytics tells me that 50% of my visitors find their way here searching for more information about US Petroleum Holdings than any other topic featured here, exceeding even my primary hobby of my Food with Passion website by a factor of two.

IF I HAVE HELPED YOU avoid making an investment that you might regret, I would be delighted if you would stop to make a comment - by making a comment, you will help to raise search engine profile for my articles and help prevent someone else from making an ill-informed choice. So..... if I confirmed your unease and you decided not to invest, please don't just walk away from here .... leave details of your experience and help someone else make up their mind based upon your own experience.

Competition results mean NADA?

Would you be excited to sample food from the second best Indian chef in the UK?

We would be too and were very excited when we discovered that the runner-up chef for the last 2 years in the Indian Chef of the Year competition was working in a restaurant just 10 miles away.

Would the restaurant food stand up to competition standards?
