@glennf disappointing news about the UK VAT number. I mentioned it in passing to my (accountant) wife and she exclaimed “I KNOW! I’ve had clients waiting for ages for their VAT number. It used to take 2 weeks and now can be 6 months”. Will be worth the wait though!

@nivrig I have this book

Transferring an eSIM during migration between two iPhones was a remarkably straightforward experience today. This was my first migration post eSIM adoption and I had visions of lengthy support conversations with my carrier to make it work.

I was convinced that nothing was more straightforward than SIM eject and manual transfer. The reality was so smooth that I’m probably going to convert my kids’ phones over to eSIMs ASAP now.

@stuart @caseyliss ta-ta if we’re feeling childish.

@bazscott if they’d release on Tues-Thurs, I’d collect at the store, but too much hassle driving to Belfast on a Friday 🙂

It’s out for delivery. Despite DHL still saying it will be delivered on the 25th, I got a text with approximate time today.

@shezza_t shouldn’t be. Apple are pretty good at delivering on release day. I have 3 delivery estimates from different companies. Apple say tomorrow, Syncreon, say tomorrow, and DHL say Monday. I suspect DHL’s estimate system is inaccurate. They probably think a regular delivery would be Monday, but I imagine the potential loss in letting Apple down would trump that!

It’s at the very least a declaration of war!

DHL can feck right off with their delivery date of 25th of September. Failing to deliver a day of release iPhone on iPhone release day is like a war crime, right?

@shezza_t @intheseheels @OpinionatedGeek Emma Ballet Flats sounds like Nelson Mandela House. 🙂

@joesteel a dessert wine planet?

@jamesthomson you’re probably right, though. I could instead have taken it to Ballycastle and taken the ferry to Campbelltown. When I’m up in Ballycastle I can see Scotland on good days.

@jamesthomson I would need to load up Dice by PCalc to determine what the status is today. 🙂

@jamesthomson i could have picked it up for you and handed it to a mule at the ferry to Stranraer.🫏

@intrepidhero what is your favourite dinosaur?

Got this email today; can’t believe the iCloud team didn’t wait and offer me the new tiers. It’s like one part of the company doesn’t talk to the other. Doomed.
