Could I be a nerd?

I got a shiny new iPhone recently, and have rediscovered the joys of twitter and other social networking sites, which has prompted me to restart blogging. I now have three separate blogs on three different sites (but all with a common "grey" theme, which says something about my state of mind, I think - colour has always been an indicator of how I am feeling).  This blog is for general ramblings, and I have another one which relates specifically to my professional development activities. The newest one is for draft reminders of academic writing topics, which I hope will prompt me to actually DO some academic writing. I want to keep them separated as they really are for very different activities.

But back to the iPhone - I wanted to find out how to set up folders in the "photo" application.  The application provides lots of space for albums, but no obvious way of adding a new album, or moving photos between albums. I assumed that this could probably be done in iTunes, where every else seems to happen, but no - there is no obvious way here either.  The online user manual is as good as useless for this. I guess that Apple think everyone must already know how to do this stuff. Finally, after a lot of trial and error I figured it out for myself. You have to go to  "my computer" , then set up a folder called "iPhone", then set up various folders inside that folder. THEN you can ask iTunes to synch folders from the "iPhone" folder to the  phone. Eureka! I now have albums in my photos app.

I love my phone, but it is quite demanding - my emails beep at me and twitter needs to be checked constantly - also facebook. Maybe this is a "new-user" phase that I will grow out of - or maybe not.
