@Jodie_kemp (oops) -- here -> http://bit.ly/bpiS2d
@pseudonymuk spot on. This is what bugs me. ship/forget. minimal bug fixes mostly/no effort to keep current
@pseudonymuk not apple fan though they do. android v. fragmented. nokia saying they will for symbian moving forward?
@LauraLeslie23 sounds like you're in for an uncomfortable night
@LauraLeslie23 for some reason the phrase slap and dash came to mind. quick reaction needed to get into pids to cover your position ;-)
@LauraLeslie23 in same situation again you could ask "what would keeley do?" (get rid in no time prob)
I have a few #rockmelt invites if anyone wants one (must be be fb friend though) -
@pseudonymuk yep - i gave up jan, but currently on maemo. meego a way off so next dev prob android. (do run port on n900 too)
@JoaoPOPrtsG hope you understand but want to offer to regular collaborators first for few hours. good luck,
going to watch ep.5 of #theevent before bed now that tea etc done. late night after that school event.
@nnubeh aarrgh. family tech support. can be worst kind...
@anotherproblem bbc worldwide does commercial stuff - think dvds etc. presume it's them?
@nnubeh who worse? Just because you don't have one? but then she'd never need to call. supposedly...
RT @billynewport: Angry Birds spotlights Android fragmentation - CNET News: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20023199-264.html?tag=twitter
@nnubeh indeed they all can be switched off and on...
@nnubeh happy birthday! Have a good un... work or leisure today?
Bother @skyhd box has hung for 4th time in about 2 weeks (since new). Assuming it's bugs in the new anytime+ software. others seeing? #fb
@nnubeh good move to skip work for birthday. Have fun! catch you at the tweetup in dec
@skyhd are there known issues with skyhd not responding to buts/rc amstrad SYSF26.28.06/4F3105/38.2.1.6_1 - think hitting sw bugs?
@skyhd ok can see there's a thread at http://bit.ly/9Yt7EW - hopefully you guys can give us an update
de dem de de "updating system software" ..... #skyhd
Oh *** great. Apply the latest skyhd sw update, now getting slight lip-sync issues on sky news.
1 #rockmelt invite open. (for regular collaborators + must use facebook). Anyone?
Any students fancy entering a mainframe competition - prizes on offer! See http://bit.ly/9t5hIf #zseries #ibm #competition
@sxa555 2.2
@biogoo could be worse I guess, but it is very annoying. All I'd like to see is more transparency in acknowledgement of known issues
RT @Dan_Martin: The UK spends more per person online than anywhere else in the world #GEW #BBB // and EU spends more than North America
RT @BorkowskiPR: Why the new #NissanLEAF will rule the road...BBC given exclusive access - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11791755
retreated from dining table to study - 2.5 hrs not too bad for battery. Sometimes get more, but must have been working :-)
Always slightly embarrassed working through some rather-too-old email..
I liked a YouTube video -- An Introduction to IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management Server http://youtu.be/IC17e0HAQg8?a
I've subscribed to IBMinfosphere's channel on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/IBMinfosphere?feature=autoshare
@mike_griffin_f1 UK=tabloid press, more sophisticated tv (though sky news going downhill) US=sophisticated press, tabloid tv ? true ?
Oh my good friends, thanks for #ff -you got there 1st today! @Sandanista @fradgepick @EmpireSteve @amanjon @nnubeh - more after finish work
don't think my parents are too happy - their landline was faulty on 13th, has been reported and seems to still be down. Oh dear.
@paulbackhouse :-) well they're about to loose broadband too (ukonline) & email address. think there's some recommendations needed
final bit of BS expertise being applied to end of year assessment. Need to get this sent now so i can worry about real work ;-)
@SarahAnnGreen stalker ;-)
@SarahAnnGreen seriously I was wondering if ping was an irrelevance. Since I don't have an iphone (but do have old ipod) most of my music
@SarahAnnGreen activity is on last fm http://www.lastfm.com/user/planetf1 - I tend to scrobble from all devices.
@SarahAnnGreen The thing that worries me about is that ping is so itunes focussed, and I never buy music fom there, rank there or use iphone
@SarahAnnGreen so the value of data is low. Put music on server, often via DNLA - stream to joggler/tv/bluray/phone etc
@SarahAnnGreen even lastfm isn't perfect, but I do scrobble from ipad & when at work including spotify, so best reflection
@SarahAnnGreen I guess you're the one on the right? http://bit.ly/cVG6U2 ;-) at least in concept...
WRONG. using a tool with a spell check. For Uk English it marks "optimize" as incorrect. NO YOU ARE WRONG. either -se or -ze is acceptable
this dictionary is rubbish. "enablement" missing too. again in OED.
@Soggous -ize is from greek -ise from french. neither american? -ize is older also and more regarded as "traditional" ie main form in OED
@Soggous but then I did sciences/maths etc not languages!
@SarahAnnGreen no I'm getting scared
@Soggous I think my reason for using -ize was more because everyone else/teachers used -ise . A mild form of rebellion.
@Soggous I work for an american company, so any formal/external docs target US english anyway.. but there's a lot in US english that dates
@Soggous back to old english - medieval times etc, and retains same spelling/meaning where local british has moved on. interesting.
RT @nico_rosberg: Pirellis-similar to bridge same big understeer. Exit rear more nervous difficult to drive. Also big degradation so exc ...
New touch screen technology http://youtu.be/9IG3LfYqk4A
I liked a YouTube video -- Ice touchscreen http://youtu.be/9IG3LfYqk4A?a
@EmmaGx notice you're using witter still. I do sometimes but suffer from it's reliability.. #khweeteur is looking better but incomplete..
@EmmaGx the one hard people use ;-)
@EmmaGx And there's two packages - a regular khweeteur and experimental one (higher version). Little to loose so am using latter (0.0.50?)
@EmmaGx I still get it hang/fail to update/throw errors fairly regularly. have been on cusp of switching to android, but issues there too
@EmmaGx #tweetdeck on android is very nice. Wish we could have that on #maemo . Also tried #meego. Don't. too early.
I'm going to spread out some detailed #ff over the evening
Firstly special #ff since these guys have their birthdays this week @Walkerooo @nnubeh
Some special #ff for a couple of #f1 addicts excluding @mike_griffin_f1 as he's too good at quizzes and beat myself, @sxa555 @honeybee85 !
Some good local #ff friends in the #southampton area @OzoneVibe @paulbackhouse @EmpireSteve
#ff fun to chat with @etherealtype even if disagree with the team! and @EwanMarshall for random tech exchanges #f1
#ff @EmmaGx @ericube @AndyBold for mobile/tech chats
#ff for going on about healthy eating and running @vixisabel , and having a war of words @Soggous
#ff cleaning advice this week from @sarahgb @shellk1984 @anotherproblem @icicle_halo_ @incapete unhelpful from @lookatbowen @timbo_baggins
And if you have hours to chat especially about british TV @SuzShoes (though special mention again to @sxa555 in this category) #ff
@honeybee85 I was thinking when they announced prize for lowest points .... still amazed by mike's knowledge
@rachelclarkef1 classic! I have this image of a chariot with square wheels! Oh dear... that won't be very fast. <cracks up>
Right another #f1 one @rachelclarkef1 for just making me crack up. #ff
had note back from orange about by coverage enquiry at work. They blame "vegetation". Hope they're not referring to those who work there ;-)
This is why I prefer twitter replies to email -- this email goes on and on with disclaimers, waffle, irrelevant info made from a template
whilst a twitter reply was immediate/concise/helpful/accurate. twitter wins on all counts.
@OzoneVibe hottubs & Margarita time then...
right work done, SN session nearly done. Off for a dog walk then cooking time...
@GreatButton Oh when are JB/LH on? #f1 #childreninneed
Was going to say no #f1 this w/end, but at least there's the season catchup 13:00 Sat bbc1
@SamMillarF1 tah
RT @TheFifthDriver: Don't forget it's Children In Need today & Lewis & Jenson will be on the appeal show tonight at 7.20pm. Dig deep for ...
wish work email didn't have subject lines about things being "hot" esp from female name. nearly discarded as spam!...
shows how quickly we have to process info these days - litterally quick recognition in milliseconds - spam or not -> action.
@OzoneVibe thought for a minute you were going to admit to a proper hottub. In which case it would be party at dave's !
@OzoneVibe some friends have a proper hottub, but it's rarely open (or they don't want us!) - very expensive to run.
@etherealtype probably chicken pad thai. sounds yummy. Planning to make enchilladas here.
not even had time to watch any #childreninneed yet inc. #f1. had to pop to shop. Dinner now in oven at last.
@GreatButton @vixisabel "life related" ok then... that would be random bable then ;-) #FF #F1
@GreatButton oops sorry - added in error. but thanks for timing. Hope it was good. will watch recording later!
@vixisabel it's quite fun going theme related on the #FF - "straight" is too boring ...
@vixisabel actually if anything I found it quicker! guess I'm a whizz at BS s/times but there's usually insight in there s/where . ;-) #FF
so no time for #theevent yet. sitting down and watching TV still on the horizon ...
How is #childreninneed going? interesting segments?
got *really* fed up with mobile coverage when out walking. had to make 2 calls but coverage *stinks*. the new three mast 15/12 better fix it
tempted to experiment with vodafone PAYG for a month so I can make a decision come dec.
@honeybee85 Enjoy getting up for work tomorrow ;-) Hope the job works out even if not f1
feeling out of the loop on #cin - have promised to watch theevent first then catching up...
@honeybee85 how early a start. presumably not 6am (seling so more like 9?)
@honeybee85 not so bad then. enjoy. now.. off to finally watch some tv..
