Heard the baby's heartbeat yesterday on Clare's mobile phone, how cool is that?

Wife had a midwife appointment yesterday while I was at work, everything is good, wife and the baby are healthy. I have mentioned we have been trying to hear the baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope I bought, no joy. By some modern technological MAGIC though, the midwife helped Clare record the heartbeat on her mobile phone, for me to hear. How clever is that?

UPDATE: Yeah I will try and upload it so you can hear it too! Good idea Vickster!

UPDATE UPDATE: Here it is.

This is what she says anyway, it could have been just some high pitched human beatboxing they were doing, I really am not sure what goes on at these midwife appointments.

Still struggling with this XBMC 1 lark, following this guide 2 on http://lifehacker.com, which may be out of date. Seems there is a legal issue with distributing the software I need, so though it's free it's not freely available on the web. I have to jump through the hoop of messaging a bot on an irc channel and being granted temporary access to an ftp server. All feels a bit '80s, and I seem to get kicked out every time I get in. Getting hold of this is like some complex old school adventure game. So, still seeking the Splinter Cell exploit. I'll get there!

  1. XBox Media Centre, some software that would run on an old xbox or other computer hardware to play movies and music etc. I used to talk about this a lot...
