@sermoa search for "david lloyd" in southampton A/B are same site (A is main entrance, B is tennis courts) [C is port solent so genuine]
@sermoa I think something lacking in gowalla is relationships between places -ie a shopping centre contains lots of shops, or a office ->
@sermoa campus (search IBM, Husley) contains many areas, yet is also part of overall site.
@laura_marieee which of course is totally unfair - not her fault.
@AndyCDoyle Which fibre network. If you mean FTTC (fibre to the cab) thats exchange->green box only, not last few 100m, though some ->
@AndyCDoyle areas are getting fttp (p=premises ie home) in which case yes another connection. though bt have more ducting already
RT @adityasinghvi: In case you all missed it, Symbian's future after Samsung & Sony Ericsson: http://worldofphones.net/?p=3008
@AndyCDoyle With FTTC the "access part" of the network is run by BT Openreach. That covers house-exchange , so bit Cu + DSLAMs in cabs VDSL
@AndyCDoyle contention is supposed to be minimal. I think *assured* rate is only 12 Mbps though down. Up to 40Mbps todat could be 100 future
@AndyCDoyle depends on copper. think 500m decent copper is probably 30-40 Mbps tops downstream.
@etherealtype :-( not fun. don't know a magic spell though.
@v4ibhav @joshuatopolsky nice to see sarcasm and jest still alive (yes, seriously). Now must read the articles myself
RT @jadejavu: Nokia N8 gets lots of stick in early reviews, we wonder why - GSMArena.com news http://t.co/9s7jgnI via @AddThis
@AndyCDoyle from exch some ISPs (ie BT retail) use BTw (wholesale)s network, others (in future) use their own - Be,sky (not launched yet)
@AndyCDoyle Also FTTC is already offering 10 Mbps upload (2,10 options for ££) - Virgin was only 1 Mbps I think until recent announce
@AndyCDoyle Virgin isn't fibre to premises, but could be closer to house, then co-ax
@AndyCDoyle Only big ISP offering FTTC/P so far is @BTCare with "infinity". Am hoping @bebroadband @skyhd launch soon for good competition
@AndyCDoyle further thoughts on fttc (for me at least) http://bit.ly/9c0GNG
@khertan gps signal could be poor in train, + getting a lock on any GPS whilst moving is a problem? #n900 #sfr
anyone else use http://m.check.in - am finding it's no longer working for #foursquare ?
ANy good docs around for focus stealing inc. config/registry for focus stealing on Windows 7 - just got bitten by it again. AAARRRGGHH
hint to sw dev. If your error messages are unhelpful/cryptic it can make a simple user errror seem like a broken service...
interesting for occasional use -> RT @ThreeUKLatest: We've launched pay per day mobile broadband. 500MB for £2! http://bit.ly/cLJ5Se
@khertan ah I see. If not quick then agps blocked as you say. does using supl.google.com help ?
@khertan N900 could really do with wifi location (skyhook etc) being integrated. Can make a massive black/white diff for indoor
I liked a YouTube video -- Climate Change Propaganda 10-10 mini-movie - No Pressure http://youtu.be/xx4yr0FFhMQ?a
@littlelawyer84 A guy I worked with many years ago struggled to keep it past around 10am!
RT @kpcom: Sharing: Branson backs call to remove blue flags: Richard Branson has backed the call from Lotus boss Tony Fernand... http:// ...
#meego 1.1 is looking a little lacking for handset UX this month http://www.mwkn.net/ #n900 via via @mwkn
Why I prefer use of 24 hour clock http://post.ly/11kap
@sxa555 as a standalone video it stood out as a over the top quirky viral vid. Like in that context. For proper campaign, maybe not
@andysc very -> #worrying US domestic?
@andysc I guess I'm not aware of the rules, bit surprised if that's legit, but then anyone can grab train/bus domestic
this is a service announcement. Do not send me (g)email - landfill site. Lost cause? even with priority inbox
@sxa555 Too many mailing lists, adverts and other stuff. Mostly of my own making over many years....
@sxa555 I'm not talking spam, more non-critical mail..
@pete_v something to be said for a vegetarian option. Cheese & onion pie/pasty anyone?
The woman on the @ThreeUKLatest PAYG balance line sounds agitated. At times talking LOUD like DONALD TRUMP. clear but misbalanced IMO ...
@RobBrydon have you tried http://gethuman.com/ - I haven't much (usually do #####) but it has some shortcuts to speak to a PERSON
Is twitter playing up at the moment... def getting some probs. either that or t'internet is dodgy here
@Jodie_kemp Not sure what your cats like eating but for our dog we crunch up the tabs/power in some cheese. Goes down no prob!
@Jodie_kemp Not sure what your cats like eating but for our dog we crunch up the tabs/power in some cheese. Goes down no prob!
@Jodie_kemp it wasn't jelly was it. Bad times ... !
@Hands0n @ThreeUKLatest Maybe you should get sophisticated and come to #southampton but it would need to be by cruise ship...
@peregr1n do you get much use from it. I have my own, but main issue is range is low - small devices, so of limited value (in my experience)
@SarahAnnGreen what on earth are 1/2 fat burgers? compared to what? I like the high % (or 100%) meat ones. homemade better.
@Jodie_kemp We have pups and did first worming last week. The facial expressions were so funny when the pink medicine went down
@Jodie_kemp but yes cheese is a winner with the dog. worming, antibiotics etc, no problem!
@Jodie_kemp getting fair few API errors here. bit better in last 5 mins
was really surprised/disappointed to hear that HTC hero running 2.1 (son got one) can't wake up for clock alarm! What a #fail
@SarahAnnGreen I was going to return a sceptical response, but since it was from waitrose. YUM!
@chris_dudley not sure, not my phone. Seems a PITA. http://bit.ly/9Xumcn (N900 is fine)
@peregr1n same here -- except for visitors to house, or me when I've had WPA/driver issues!
@peregr1n I have 4 of them. Only 1 in use currently - original FON though played with ddwrt. Use it to add coverage by placing in loft
@shellk1984 @buff_s @petermainey Haven't use it much but gethuman.com has some sequences for access to real person
@chris_dudley It's a feature I've used for years. Nokias tend to manage it. Wonder if desire/galaxy s running 2.2 can do it. Hope so
@lesanto be interested to hear your thoughts/comparisons after trying out. I have my own perceptions but not played long enough
really should get cleared up/sorted so I can watch #spooks in 30 mins :-)
@peregr1n yep... honestly has been little use to me :-(
@frontieruk no i mean 'switched off'. How most nokias have worked for years
@skyhd #caprica starts again in US on ScyFy tomorrow night. Is there any news on when it's back in UK on Sky1 ?
@amandagolding more likely to power 15" screens, music, lighting, aircon ... #genius ?
@michaelrowe01 not figured it out... spotify->lastfm scrobbling seems far more relevant and multidevice/cloud not applie tied
@amandagolding And energy to get too/from gym maybe enclosed, cooled u/.gnd "tubes" to cycle in between places with stop for rowing/weights
funny reading daughter's fb posts with friends about whether to go nokia/iphone/android/bbery - and someone mentioned palm??
#Apprentice UK 9pm Wednesday BBC1 :-)
@noelrooney Really! Wow I'd never have even questioned it... #fail
@mike_griffin_f1 have no idea, but can't see anyone getting one know except as a quirky gadget (despite respected OS) #palm
@zcott @ThreeUKLatest +1 for shared allowances - wish I could jointly manage family accounts. tho' kids getting older so time running out!
@ThreeUKLatest When is the Tmob (MBNL) network merge likely to be done by - is Hampshire/soton done yet? Is it end/year?
FYI any UK #caprica fans - Looks like 2month+ wait in UK ... RT @skyhd: @planetf1 Hi, Caprica will be showing on Sky1 in January.
@michaelrowe01 and on a humorous note I guess it means apple has ping-pong (sorry)
@michaelrowe01 at the same time anyone figured out how lastfm appears to have gone nowhere in years? - spotify/facebook on up. Scrobble=win
Watching #tgs - on 3F tv now, reminding me I am #sooutofdate still watching a SD CRT ! Maybe I should before too long ...
