Unfortunately, that post got lost when I migrated between blogging platforms. I probably still have trace information elements in hard copy invoices and emails that would let me reconstruct most of that list – something I might get to if I get a substantial block of free time to work with. In the mean time, and also before my recollection and email invoices and receipts get further buried in digital storage, here’s an account of what I can easily reconstruct first: my mobile phone list from 2008, alongside my blog post links to them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
