Got some storage from Muji so clearing up my desk at home. Found a CD-Rom with Iomega 100mb Parallel port zip drive manual on.
Alice was quite extraordinary. Underland beautifully drawn. But to be honest, give me talking animals and I’m all set.
Two beautiful Jays in Finsbury Park. Now at IMAX for Alice in Wonderland.
Tea Earl Grey Pot with a huge tin of ANNA’s biscuits. And my Mozilla @Firefox swag arrived today. Stickers, poster.
Ended the day on an up beat. Got a perfect Ubuntu VM together for collections importing. Sadly none of the usual suspects at Hour Glass.
Chilly breeze in Finsbury Park but a posse of charming long-tails flit by.
Underground Advert Screen #fail: http://flic.kr/p/7FCJRR
Worked hard this afternoon but got little return on effort. Need to rinse brain with lager.
Finding that writing a Sphinx pagination class in Python isn’t as boring as feared.
Here’s a thought… Lee Child book club. I love to share a good Reacher round.
Replaced the Hackint0sh with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on eee PC 901. Much faster experience. Will leave OS X for Mac Pro 8 corez :-)
Result! Now @waarg and I share an office we were able to motor through a couple of Mac OS CSS bugs and deploy.
I should really use Mozilla Firefox instead of Safari and Chrome. Do we want Microsoft, Apple and Google to own the browser space?
Spam isn’t all bad: My name is Rodney Pierce. I would like to inquire if you carry Snakes and Ladders in stock
Back from Così fan tutte at the Royal Opera. Stop sniggering at the back. Jonathan Miller’s modern setting with ace conductor Julia Jones.
And so to bed.
Can confirm that Redwood Vegideli Sage & Marjoram sausages make a pretty useful meat-free stylus for iPhone.
Wondering if @givp saw the meat stylus for iPhone http://bit.ly/cdzfvR
Ah, that’s better. Two grateful respondents to webmaster enquiries. Makes it all worthwhile!
Spring is in the air! There, said it. #touchwood
Spammers, if you’re going to spam a competition form with 24,000 entries & pretty convincing addresses… GET THE ANSWER RIGHT.
Somebody set up us the bomb.
So there’s coffee and time to review the task list. Trying out a bastardised GTD method.
They’re checking oyster cards at Finsbury Park.
Couple of James Cameron classics for the diary http://bit.ly/aSfVhO (UK viewers only)
Today’s challenge! Get a Rhythmyx page to publish, with a banner image but without overlaid text! Brain the size of a planet…
Does anybody proof-read TechCrunch articles before posting? I know it’s the National Enquirer for techies but a bit of pride/care?
At Rough Trade East. Is this where all @paulbridgewater’s money goes? Now, where’s the chamber music section?
Mother of God. Half term at South Ken station.
RT @maxrushden @richbs i’m disappointed i spent some time googling what an ubuntu vm was.
Well that Ubuntu VM is totalled. As you were.
100+ webmaster emails, including the obligatory punctuation pedant.
Too many wasabi peas. Lips numb.
Why is this £22 http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB706?mco=MTM3NTAyNDI ?
Ligeti and Dutilleux - a continuum of leaning chords. The latter has a lovely, crunchy cimbalon. Gergiev/ @londonsymphony fab.
Foot-tapping Stravinsky Petrushka; great timps, searing mute trumpet. Gergiev called back out many times at end @londonsymphony
The @londonsymphony Kicked off tonight with Viennese shrapnel in Ravel’s La Valse. Swooning strings and savage snares.
Looking forward to hearing Ligeti’s Atmosphères live with the @londonsymphony tonight at the Barbican.
Darren’s right here. RT @mothersele probably the best thing on twitter is @big_ben_clock
Argh. Trying to resist the urge to have a moan into my Twitter client. F..f..fingers..s..s..slipping. C..can’t h-hold on…
Back after a couple of beers with my nextdoor neighbour. Who says London is impersonal and unfriendly?
I’m sure there’s a comedy phonebot making up new names on our system. Makes call screening even more fun.
Refreshing cup of Yorkshire tea.
Soaking up some Arnold Bax tone poems. English and Celtic themes palpable, as with Delius, Elgar and Vaughan Williams.
Robin Hood Tax. Fine but there are other social pariahs than bankers: ambulance-chasing lawyers, 30% APR purchase schemes aimed at the poor.
Poor old @vicchi is having a bad day. He should play with the new V&A Place API instead http://bit.ly/bFMATN
Say what you like about Google Buzz but my first reply was from a farrier in Dorset. No joke.
Light snow here being driven by a northerly wind - a kind of diluted blizzard.
Delighted that @LDNHipHop is following me. Must have picked up on all those tweets about Bach and Mahler.
Unreliable internets here in teh country; is Google Buzz more or less rubbish than Google Wave?
