the application market android developers phone force close failed

When trying to sort out issues on the android developer phone it seems a hard task. When there is a issue on the phone there are so many other networks, tmobile, phones that could be the issue so trying to identify the fault is difficult. as i tried to open the application market. i found the following error.
the application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again force close
after a search on the net i could only find to uninstall some programs. although i am not sure why the phone has failed. if i had taken a list of the apps i had installed or could follow the date when it stopped i could pinpoint the issue. after checking through and removing some programs by:
menu / settings / applications / manage applications /
then you can high light any apps, choose  clear data, clear cache, force stop. if it is a program that is installed, an extra app then it can be unistalled by choosing the Uninstall button.
after i uninstalled all apps that i did not want including
twitter
i could now access the apps market and install apps.
I hope you do not have the same problems as me.

a few days later and the error has reappeared. the market application keeps crashing.
i tried settings, manage applications, market, then choose the option to clear cache. power off the phone and restart. no change
so settings, manage applications, market, the shoose the option to uninstall, this reverts back to version 1620 of the app. when reloading the app. you have to now accept the terms of service, confirm accept. a reload and market is back up and working.....

Twitter and twidroid

I am amazed at how many times twidroid is updated. Each time it has been successful and I have not seen any issues. Now when i take pictures i cannot add any comments or post to twitter. It shows how much apps are useful and frustrating when they do not work...

Scottoiler the right way to stop loosing oil when its not working

Ihave just moved the scottoiler to a new place. The picture is of the new position. I had noticed the rear wheel was covered in oil and the bottom of the plastic pipe had come away from the body. With no vacuum the oil just poured onto the rear chain. I heated up the plastic pipe which made it soft and pliable. Then pushed back fully on the brass spigot on the reservoir. Now the Reservoir canister is positioned in a new place independent of the frame. The vacuum pipe is fully on and should not come off again for a while.

Before it was cable tied to the frame where the frame sticker with numbers is. Now I have the bracket supplied with the scottoiler kit. I cable tied the breather and vacuum pipe to the injectors. You can see the silver bracket under the scottoiler reservoir and to the carbon rear mudguard tidy.

Easyjet and a Moto Guzzi

Below is a picture of a Moto Guzzi. Taking a quick holiday break from the UK to Trapani with easyjet. It is surprising how cheap the flights are. The weather in Scilia is excellent biking weather and the Guzzi looks great in its surroundings. Thanks to Gaetano Migliore for letting me take his pride and joy for a spin.

Sky Map for Android - A Mobile Planetarium

I have downloaded sky map for android and am impressed with the app. It has froze on a couple of occasions but if you leave the app it will load eventually. The only disappointing bit is the weather has been very cloudy here in London so it is difficult to see the stars. I also test reaction on friends and family and this app definitely got the thumbs up for ingenuity.

Using the camera on my Mx5 eunos roadster

The phone camera was handy today as I could not find the fuel filter and needed to send a picture to the parts dealer.
