I’m following Stephen Fry on Twitter (the udpdates on the right of this blog are from Twitter) and it’s very funny reading his daily tribulations! One thing I’ve learnt about him is he is a bit of a techie-geek: he posts updates on twitter several times a day, seems to have about 5 different mobile phones and also uses SMS speak occasionally, which is perhaps surprising given his reputation as a liguistic intellectual! But today’s posts are pretty funny, especially given that they are from Stephen Fry. Just goes to show even he is not above getting angry at the limitations of today’s technologies, and in the heat of the moment makes spelling mistakes…here they are:

‘I hate Vista so much I want to cry. Bought a Vaio. The most useless $4k ever spent. It just will not join a sec-enabled network. HOW???? ‘

‘The network is there. I press to join it doesn’t even ask for a password! It just can’t join. How insultingly dreadful can software be? ‘

In responce to another Twitter user who must have suggested he buy a mac: ‘I have nine macs!!!!!! I don’t need another fucking mac. I just want ONE ARSING PC that isn’t complete SHIT ‘

‘Too late. It’s going out the window. I can’t put up with this sort of arse’

‘Listemn I have parallels, I have fusion, I have 2 distros of Linux. I need jsut one, just 1 of cunting Vista so that I can review things’

And finally: ‘Still taking deep breaths. Thank you all for your concern. The Vista devil spoke thru me and it wasn’t pretty. x’

In case you need proof that these are the words are Stephen Fry just visit his blog. On the right you can the see the title ‘Stephen’s status updates’ – click on ’see all updates’ and you will be able to find the posts I added above – alternatively sign in for Twitter and choose to follow Stephen Fry yourselves!
