peacefulNothing much has changed, working and commuting. Went to Spain, Almuñecár on conference with the job in the end of may, actually on my birthday. Really nice area, a subtropical spot of Europe with possibility to see across the Mediterranean over to Morocco, North Africa on a clear day.
Got an iPhone 3GS a few days before we left for Spain, brought it with me to Spain. The economy-lady told us that roaming costs would be deducted from salary as roaming was not covered in the phone deal. At the plane before take off I put the iPhone into Airplane-mode, arrived in Spain, to discover that what I thought was SIM-unlock code wasn't. I still used it to "steal" WIFI at the hotel at night, when sleepless.
I used my private phone as well, checking in on Foursquare and Gowalla ... thinking that the roaming and data transfer rates would not be that heavy.
I was wrong. A few days ago I got the bill, with a rather large amount on the Roaming Abroad row, about $60 for just under 5Mb data, 10 minute phone call and 3 SMS. I'm quite happy that I used the WIFI a lot in the hotel lobby, it was during the ShipToGaza-incident and I was following it on twitter.
Btw, I'm cisene on all the services above, if you'd like to friend me there as well.
