@dsml thanks, don't believe it's flu though. I suspect in many cases it technically isn't, unless #manflu counts ;-) #ff
Set myself a target of today to decide on ordering a) @BT_Infinity b) #kindle. Thinking of pulling trigger on both :-) #procrastinating
MMm.. enjoying some nice coffee. Am claiming illness to avoid family shopping trip & save myself for this evening!
RT @rickmans: 2010: 7 Things We’d Rather Forget http://dlvr.it/CQGln
@amandagolding Did I forget #ff oops. Well there's yours, yes get both probs.
@andypiper :-( This time yesterday I'd prob be skipping too. But looking a bit better today so back on. You have a few hours yet ....?
@KataHyde Quiet-ish eve with friends/kids . Must be so nice to have the long winter break to relax/see friends/relatives etc
@melissa_RBRx Oh poops. That's not great. Hope it gets sorted ...
@etherealtype At least it was nearly 11. Worst is when they arrive at 730, except of course when they make it before work (good!)
@LukaSambuca Ooops.... it's when it comes out of the electrical fittings you really need to worry...
@VodafoneUK One Q about the "faults" board - is there a plan to update the post when issue is resolved? - only have DOWN not UP ?
@mikegriffin_ didn't know anyone still buys tv mags? Can't remember last time I did! (always used to be RT+the other one) every xmas yrs ago
@LukaSambuca Have you got rid of the source of the water upstairs? May need to lify carpet/check behind bath etc? So stopped?
@LukaSambuca Electricity+water don't mix. Can you turn off the downstairs lighting circuit if the water is near there? Do you think small
@LukaSambuca ish amount of water got ceiling damp, or is it a massive load that might break through? Get some heaters to dry up bathroom?
@emmadouglas91 Amazingly I've never used a mac. Is the keyboard layout different then?
@LukaSambuca doesn't sound too bad. should just dry up. Worst damage probably just paint mark on ceiling. Would still be inclined to let
@LukaSambuca things dry a bit before worrying about the lighting.
@LukaSambuca still have a huge (body size?) patch on our lounge ceiling. after water got through dodgy sealent when showing and then dripped
@LukaSambuca all day. All dry now but really should paint it over! Water is a PITA sometimes
@emmadouglas91 (showing mac ignorance) - it's not US layout? # would be shift-3. Just showing my lack of experience!
@VodafoneUK Ah, so that would be the ones with a tick.... ok makes sense, thanks for explanation.
@SuperR0B I have offer of a lift, but an hour drive, not feeling 100% and am not best passenger so still thinking I may drive. If so ->
@SuperR0B drinks will have to be NYD instead!
@emmadouglas91 what! wierd. Why is apple always different.... I mean it gets used a lot??
@emmadouglas91 So #mac #keyboard #fail for #twitter especially
oh poops remembered I should submit my work end-of-year assessment by 31/12 ... :-( at least it's written. cut/paste should do it.
@oldmanuk the actual deadline is in jan, and mgr already read/agreed. it was just a statement about getting loaded into tool (metrics)
yay. 2010 business results submitted as I committed to (and nearly forgot!)
@BTCare have you announced a new price for the 12 month "line rental saver" cost after the vat rise?
@BTCare no worried, found the answer at http://bit.ly/eb6fGJ
@BT_Infinity ordered :-) roll on 18 Jan..
My Top Followers in 2010: @etherealtype @unkn0wnvariable @ozonevibe @paulbackhouse @sxa555. Find yours @ http://mytopfollowersin2010.com
Just posted my "top followers" cloud here - http://bit.ly/hHJoKE . Special kudos to @etherealtype who went off the scale...
Just did an order for BT infinity less than hour ago and already 2 textx from O2 "can we persuade you to stay". @O2 / @bebroadband Any FTTC
@etherealtype funnily enough the #ff tweet didn't correspond entirely with the text size, so thought I'd post the full cloud!
browsing the amazon kindle store ;-)
@evoGage 18th Jan
@skybluemandylou I'm adding them to my wish list (then can decide in next few days)
@skybluemandylou eek, I now have 22 ebooks in my wishlist - about 1/3 free, 1/3 cheap £1 1/3 retail 4-9. Guess I should order the kindle!
walkking dogs. fresh air good
yay. mobile coverage when out walking. wonder if its complete. makes a nice change
@paulbackhouse just leaving sports area so other side!
ok well not complete. just one sma.. deadspot so far
@EmpireSteve thanks for the #ff - have a good one steve #NewYearFollowList
just got back from a nice walk. Quite quiet out.
@nessie111 thanks for the #hny #ff
@paulbackhouse lurgi does seem fair bit better today. Hopefully a quick one.
@timbo_baggins thanks for the #ff
@xLMx1994 @laura_marieee @DCCoulson thanks for the #ff
@paulbackhouse though the flu job is highly selective... only ever had one once (dec 1999 before the Y2K "panic", employer provided)
@riveerrrrssss no just dog walking! Did visit waitrose yesterday & it was fine. #Waitrose
So @riveerrrrssss @paulbackhouse we should have a mini #chandlersford #tweetup in NY at the #clevelandbay. will check diary in few days
@Garykelly1 And I don't follow you. Wierd. I didn't think the recommendation tweet was very good either though the CLOUD was useful....
wonder who'll win the longest-time-to-deliver-text competition tonight
@unkn0wnvariable !&^£"&^£ I've come close to doing that a few times, and thought I would many more, but never have actually done it -(
#win realised I can get staff discount on kindle from John Lewis (son works there). #lose But out of stock until late Jan :-(
@amandagolding though that may be a "total-wind-farm" cost vs "running-coal-cost", surely if compare total over life more in wind favour?
@amandagolding but it's not going to be all at once for a single source... and of course I guess no-one is certain on threshold 1.5/2/2.5/3
@amandagolding anyway isn't agriculture/cows biggest source?
@amandagolding personally I think another strong reason for diversity of energy sources is politics.. (self sustainability etc).
@amandagolding and we have lots of wind, water, less so sun.
@oldmanuk which I'll have to turn out - outside T&Cs !
@Nickyhants you'd be welcome to join. We'll prob have full-blown soton tweetup in Jan too, this is just an extra walk to local, but SURE.
having a lovely quiet evening with friends. happy new year in advance everyone!
@RachaelEdwards actual in waitrose chandlers ford 10 hrs/week -is at college so extra money
not much tweeting tonight.. perhaps in early hours!
@EmpireSteve i thought everyone knew that!

Grr. completely reinstalled #WHS box is seeing same performance issue as before... (works, but seeing QSM.exe inefficiency problem)
Updated my #whs #fail post http://bit.ly/e5aK0K
@racheeroo01 could be worse I guess, "annoying" shall we say especially the timing.
@lookatbowen don't think so, it's the usual/regular symptoms nose/throat and no shivering etc fortunately.
@jonchoo on the med. recs must admit I prefer to get individual components rather than combinations
RT @oldmanuk: @planetf1 your link was broken (went to reply.php), here is a fixed one: http://bit.ly/gk4A7n
@oldmanuk thanks!
so lurgi means no gym today :-(
@sxa555 How are you finding the BDP-S370 ?
@etherealtype gosh you really do live the rock and roll lifestyle ;-)
Quote "For example, if you look at the demographics of who buys the iPhone or iPad, they are usually technically savvy, " - eh wait up
source http://bbc.in/eFvw4p don't agree in that ios appeal is to less tech savy users too (indeed more so cf other platforms) ??
@AndyBold The family want to see it. I guess it's about expectation. Will expect worst then may actually enjoy it!
@AndyBold have you seen "the tourist". Don't think reviews that great but trailed good, daughter enjoyed so think may try that..
@TiggerCub Have you seen any on the IMAX screens? Seen last 2 movies (non 3D) on there and larger screen is superb.
@TiggerCub cardiff bay (actually I was born in cardiff, just visited that area a few times)
@tomiahonen I have nokia, no apple - but apples strength is more than 1-trick, it's entire lifestyle buy-in & broadening ecosystem/loyalty..
@tomiahonen whilst nokia has the mass sales, I don't see that level of passion. no sex/sizzle (except camera geekery)
@TiggerCub you must be up north or far west. i used to live nr swansea on gower too. lovely around there. not been down for a long time
@unkn0wnvariable exactly, and to be fair apple is all bout not requiring that level of tech saviness, which arguably is a good thing
@unkn0wnvariable it's not for me, but respect it helps many
see plenty of people whinging about all their mobile networks -- have to say location,location,location is key. They all have their issues
various potions, brekky & 2 cups of coffee later, finally feeling a little more normal. s'posed to meet friends later. will try..
@unkn0wnvariable "ease of use" is context dependent of course. For some things other devices are far more appropriate. which is fine. right
@unkn0wnvariable tool for job/user.. people do get very polarised though. (Do wish apple interop was better)
@anotherproblem I'm thinking also of the non-dedicated screens in local cinemas (we have one in Southampton). Not as big perhaps but good
@unkn0wnvariable ultimately there's a lot of different factors & "look" is part of it - the sales guys want something "flashy" for example
@unkn0wnvariable and you know what, there is some sense in that (last customer meet I went to I was the only person from my co without
@unkn0wnvariable an ipad !)
@eric_andersen it does sound scary ie facebook==TheInternet . at least google was a node in the path, not holding so much content
2 important christmas questions a) shall I order a kindle b) shall I order infinity #procrastinating
@unkn0wnvariable but then the other aspect is whether the existing infrastructure is too homogenous and platform-dependent/closed
@anotherproblem it's more than converted for 3D, it's the large screens that cover the entire wall
RT @Lord_Sugar: I need 3500 more followers to hit 1/4 Million wont do it by New year . Incredible since my first tweet was in August
@unkn0wnvariable I do think single platform is unworkable these days - mobiles, tablets, multiple os's (linux too for eg) all needed
@unkn0wnvariable tension between users/business/IT
@nnubeh A profound statement.
@JayMontano I've not ventured into town (southampton). Not convinced there are any real sales, are there esp cf. online
@nnubeh gosh you are a cat now
@nnubeh be nice to ppl you like, nasty to people you don't, come/go as you please ...
RT @SouthamptonCC: RT @dailyecho: Parking charges are slashed in fight for custom http://dlvr.it/CM2f1 < Charges in #Southampton were ...
@SouthamptonCC @dailyecho Remember the Toys-R-Us car park is also £1 for 2 hours - best value IMO #Southampton
@jacksri Oh really? Good to know. Can also park in Odeon all day for about that price if arr < midday (less?). Not been in NCP for 5-10yrs!
long long soak in bath to help get rid of lurgi. Help? No not really.
@melissa_RBRx used to be like that but these days try to reuse bags, regardless of which shop, so may load sainsbury shop into asda bags etc
@9600 no idea on figures, but I find it rather useful. not complete music collection tho sure. premium also gives higher bitrate (at £)
@Kateroon thanks kate
@cragnet I wouldn't say it's necessarily pinnacle. It's a certain (valid) style, but not complete or for everyone
@nnubeh sounds intellectully challenging
@pj_kent can't find what you're looking for? Lots of online stores..
@cragnet ah yes catorise on n900 I use (of course it's not default). ios does look too simple to me these days
@cragnet but that's me... ??
@lesanto the name "selective tweets" comes to mind? #FB #Help
@lbenitez yep that's been known to happen here! (both examples). even in same room ;-)
RT @benjimmin: "I've opened a gym called Resolutions. It has exercise equipment for the first two weeks of each year, then becomes a pub ...
going to take OH's car out to drop son at work. wonder how many times it will conk out on way.
@missybct I'm sure it's spreading via twitter... arrived here yesterday :-(
@_LauRawrrr_ also worth looking at mazuma http://bit.ly/ejeWYo - have returned a few & been happy with £
@filos there's def something to be said for hw keyboards. I have a Nokia N900 and similarly find the keyboard great and use all the time.
@tomiahonen I thought (in UK at least) tax/legislative changes were generally excluded but guess it's down to the protection laws
I'm at The Cleveland Bay http://4sq.com/h9UiKG
@riveerrrrssss i didnt realise until i got home! quick meetup with some family friends. will arrange sometime tho!
quick drink at pub ->not so quick drink*s* at pub. forgotten col (temporarily). now home for curry. exta chilli for cold protection?
@missybct lots going around. hope its short lived. hope you're feeling better for new year partying!
anyone ordered a kindle recently and either a) regretted it b)regretted not getting 3g ...
@pj_kent what sort of tv are you after. was very happy with my ue46c6620 from prc direct with 5yr manuf. war. but deals change all the time
@sxa555 and there me worried about a 300Gb quota. 20. you serious. wow. it does make iplayer a whole lot more viable doesn.t it.
@sxa555 glad you like it. not perfect but superb value for money imo
so clearly correct treatment for lurgi is beer. will remember that for tomorrow night :-)
@amanjon well at least it isn.t xfactor or f1 live! stream on phone?
@emmadouglas91 :-( not much fun
@amanjon no! need a battery pack in reserve (no iphone but i have 3 phone batts just in case!)
@mobilespeak no new... must admit tho daughters new ipod touch looks georgous screen wise
oh bother now eating curry. no choice but to get the cider out #xmasdrinking
@incapete 3g slightly appealing when abroad but extra cost means sensible is prob wifi esp as vodafone now have int. europe data deals
@incapete very tempted to order (birthday present jan)...
@amanjon oh come on amanda. you need to get your tech sorted!
@Walkerooo hic. who cares amy.
@interestedb oh its tough isnt it!
@skybluemandylou oh really. kindle? didnt get on with it? reasons?
yay finally. so nice to be able to make a call on my mobile from home now i've switched nets. no idea why i waited so long
@skybluemandylou i know what you mean. water, sand etc i'm just tempted. too gadgety i guess! + definition of a present is something ->
@skybluemandylou i dont need (but of course would use) ...
@thecheekycritic empty is surely an impossibility at this time of year...
@_LauRawrrr_ maybe not real friends?
@Jodie_kemp obviously the reason why men dont wear nail varnish...
lurgi returning. obviously need more chilli/curry/beer....
@thecheekycritic mahybe just needs liquid content

Watching ep1 of #upstairsdownstairs... Well once tinternet wakes up
@davidchow fair comment. easy to forget not everyone has bb .. yes annoying being where current sim has no coverage
@Shelley__Lee enjoyed it though not to that level. have a stash of movies to get thru still on dvd and so many online (lovefilm sub)
@sxa555 nasty out isnt it. Some places 15 mph earlier. Others stupid ppl with fogs unnece
#whs reinstall pit off for tonight due to film watching. Tomorrow.. Heres hoping
congrats - a new toy to play with!
@honeybee85 have you boarded the doors tonight ;-)
@_LauRawrrr_ brits in bed. only nearly... and earliest night of the xmas period so far!
RT @Shelley__Lee: World's top destinations for 2011 - http://bit.ly/i0CbHf #cnn #travel
@Mookii I've never even seen them - well all I remember is giant liquorice ones, not the multi flavour ones?
@Chl0w I've had that a few times, usually benign, though on *one* occasion it was due to a trvel agent ****-up - I had a confirmation
@Chl0w # but no ticket had been issued - so no flying until sorted. Only happened once though.
@linerlovers not so enjoyable driving (earlier - it was pretty tricky and stressful)
@thecheekycritic you are so going to be hitting the block/report-as-spam buttons tonight.
@ljattrill not just you. coughing started here and peeing me off rotten
@thecheekycritic there is in desktop tweetdeck. webui has 2 seperate ops block,report. I guess you need a "more like this" button tho
night. early night relatively speaking
@tlaukkanen is 2.0.15 avail anywhere. worked gr8. getting prob with 2.1 not appearing in app menu? wrt cleaned/reinstalled? great app thx
@tlaukkanen can you follow, then I can DM ;-)
Lurgi definately arrived - tired/throat/nose :-( MUST GO by NYW
@mbdrake In it's own way a paper far trashier than sun/mirror/star etc. waste of space/time
first morning I'm awake before the dogs. Not happy about that. Been awake since a little after 7 :-(
@skybluemandylou please don't tell me the bbc are trying to beat the daily mail at their #fail game?
@plinkk I'd worry more about the signs of incompetance & lack of care that behaviour suggests ... sigh
@missybct filmed in australia? a new years day party (eh? that's for sleeping)? live in a straight with mega christmas lighting?
@McLaren_Fan @unkn0wnvariable cue <<dispair>>
@skybluemandylou could do with 2 views of the stories - "basic" mode and "advanced" mode ;-) #BBCRant
@skybluemandylou while we're at it (relating to a parallel conversation) can we do the same on the roads (foglights, snow)
Just written an email to local garage explaining our diesel car problem (xtrail P0089, fuel pressure). I feel ££ coming on.
I always thought diesels were reliable. In current car experience not true (probably more modern, turbo etc...)
Would actually quite like my next car to be all-electric (or poss like the volt with generator) - most journeys I do are 4-20 miles
Wonder how our company car scheme/tax will work out towards 2012 as more electric options come on the market
@etherealtype :-) Sadly not here. sore throat/blocked. Hitting vit. C and making some fresh juice later! Oh and more smoked salmon
@MAQ_Ecosse Yes could be, though it's only a little over a year old. Sensible first step
running a server restore on my #WHS to reinstall the OS Not sure if it will help, but has to be obvious PD step. Shouldn't loose data
All backed up to a) USB b) online just in case...
WHS server recovery done, OS re-installed (it seems) Lots of disk crunching, presumably recovering data
after getting stuttering on HD playback last night, and long buffering delays, back to thinking about BT Infinity again ...
@paulbackhouse Yes in residential areas can understand noise (lck) being issue, but other aspect is the lack of intelligence of the
@paulbackhouse owner -- see rants over previous day...
@Joyouscomms health kick for few days or including NYE/NYD ? .. Managed 1 gym sess so far since xeve :-( [usual routine is every other day]
@paulbackhouse maybe though purchase cost very £££ - I'll be keeping an eye on company car options over next 12m
@paulbackhouse I've always taken ££ due to tax, but attractive regime for electric may change balance
@paulbackhouse Now if I could have a tesla..... ;-)
Another step to reduce junk mail http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400126&mediaId=500081
@unkn0wnvariable it's a commercial "service" they offer to clients...
shall I order BT Infinity now?
@formulacyan yay! Nice service, though I like muze.tv (for music videos) and last.fm (for recommendations) too. All together would be gr8!
@kazb711 @kkir Yes that tweet you quoted was from my son @xplane0202 , and indeed 3 broken bulbs, one section of light fitting broken
@kazb711 @kkir a (minor) cut, glass everywhere. Kinect needs a lot of space.
@SlyRenard I haven't rung yet but sales online chat couldn't offer better than a 3 month discount on calls+BB package (as on web)
@kazb711 need some superglue. Cut amazingly minor given what I managed to do (and not electrocuted, though the elec. did trip the RCB)
@SlyRenard were you an existing customer or a new one?
@elliegoulding have a good one. I love just walking around london appreciating architecture etc (and lots of photos)
@arjbarker I've not seen it - my wife wants to watch again but not see the end...
@MorganF1 similar ;-) is there any point these days though with downloads. I guess it's value for lots of single tracks
@_LauRawrrr_ omg that's an awful reminder for you. sorry to hear
@LauraLeslie23 how many are there. We watched ep.1 only so far #UpstairsDownstairs
@LauraLeslie23 Ah ok. Good to know. Always hate watching ep1 and realising I'm 9 eps behind..!
@jadejavu it's a nice app, issue I had was with content - nothing uk related :-(
@jadejavu yep, N900. I have it installed.
@geraintwjones I agree!
Nice dog walk - mostly to pick up throat spray, nasal spray, paracetemol. Fun.
@AilishCatherine does "jack wills" and "bargain" work in the same sentence ? some of the prices are scary.
@cyberdoyle So what's the story with VAT on ebooks? #deact #digitalbritain
@cyberdoyle I just now there is VAT levies, whilst physical books there isn't. Should relate to content. backwards? #deact #digitalbritain
#WHS reinstalled, data still intact :-) now to see if it fixes the problem....
all data seems intact, users have access, indexes rebuilding. looking decent (no worse) #whs
@oldmanuk well I did have an issue, the recovery process actually went fairly well (surprisingly)
@oldmanuk no idea if it's "fixed" my underlying issue, but at least it's no worse
My Top Weekly Artist #lastfm artist: Bryan Adams (13) #music http://bit.ly/aC2d2Q
anyone know if red wine fixes sore throats. will have to experiment...
@OzoneVibe hey dave long no hear. have a good xmas? how are things
@interestedb should have plenty of practice over next few days. seriously tho wish it would just bog off.
@oldmanuk actually have never tried raki...
@racheeroo01 if wine is not as effective then hopefully can compensate in quantity
@OzoneVibe sorry bout that:-( have to meet up for drinks in new year.
@OzoneVibe looks like we're off to some friends in berkshire. not certain whos driving but thinking its not me....
@OzoneVibe tho feeling a bit cr*p now... cold...
@Walkerooo broken anything yet in your competitive excitement?

RT @chronic: If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution.
@MissLundgaard what a silly question!
@andysc @kentindell I expect "200" refers to raw data in both directions added - ie 100+100 - same applies to wifi
@andysc @kentindell will be interesting to see how your performance drops with distance/hops. I ended up in-home going with cat5e+drill ...
classic. was listening to bbc news. dog came on barking. Our too stood up. stared at me, stared t each other. then it stopped/back to sleep
last nights attempt to watch iplayer HD reminded me need fttc upgrade. 4Mbps sync too marg. here's hoping @bebroadband /@skyhd offer it soon
@Lipstedo some ppl love flavoured coffee, I don't though.. just prefer decent beans, freshly ground (maks big diff), espresso made..
@Lipstedo just to add to that last comment, given time of year I guess brandy is permissible ;-) maybe not this early though!
@MissLundgaard still reckon it's worth it!
RT @ruskin147: http://bbc.in/ep2eoS Here's my video report on tech in 2010 - but watch out for dodgy dad dancing
@ruskin147 Great poker face ;-) Very brave to be filmed. Wish I'd saved clip of my sports javelin through smashing 3 lights :-(
@melissa_RBRx Sounds like it adds more fun though!
@kentindell @andysc Of course I didn't cable living room, and now have sky+tv+bluray now sitting on wifi. Ok even for HD tho. Time to drill.
@MissLundgaard reminds me of people we saw dancing the streets in new york dressed in PJs ipods in hand (apple related?)
@unkn0wnvariable that's a little early?
@unkn0wnvariable I annoy others in house as insist *flashing* xmas lights have to go off when watching movie. Too distracting!
@Lipstedo it's allowed on xmas day (tho I didn't this year!)
@Lipstedo If my parents were visiting I would have ..... ;-)
@MissLundgaard out "out", or just sat in car...
@andysc Umm... I suppose llama-cam is another option?
@inbedlam true, but it's a long way away from clicking a few buttons on tv remote (iplayer integrated). and watching instantly
@inbedlam other reason for faster connection is reduced "buffering" time when FF/RW, or starting to play
@inbedlam I just feel uncomfortable with T&C of @BT_Infinity fup even tho current use i<200 pcm as with kids etc would require active checks
@inbedlam The iplayer (which I have on a samsung tv, and sony bluray) is great -- have in living room, easy to use, no cpu issues
@inbedlam but my line sync is approx 4.0 Mbps down (4.7km) so marginal for HD stream :-( Too far, hence need fttc [cab now live..]
So my #WHS box is now idling at low CPU, but any write activity (like to a net share) is causing high cpu from qsm. V.poor IMO
@inbedlam Virgin were surveying last autumn. Say they may extend area (covers <1mile away) - deciding 1H11,
@lookingspiffy it is annoying they woke me up earlier (albeit 10am) then as soon as they got attn went to sleep!
@MissLundgaard you can't be bothered to get up for pub, but you do for newsagent... errr. right!
@lookingspiffy yes they were obviously asserting who was in charge.
Anyone have #twimgo 2.10 working ok on N900. Not showing in my app list - 2.0.5 worked fine
@etherealtype no noisy housemates (dogs) to make you get up then!
@kellycairns you could of course buy a payg/sim free phone outright, then for contract renewal go onto a far cheaper sim-only tariff?
@kellycairns as until June you're effectively paying for the previous phone/service
Oh bother. looks like a problem with the washing machine. My gym clothes seem to have shrunk.
So #WHS still misbehaving. Planning to do an OS re-instal (not data trash yet). And of course can I find the recover DVD... Nope!
@grace_eb today, or generally .... #thoughtfortheday
@khertan I had problems with python-qt4 dependency? change from last build? #Khweeteur #extras
yay! Found my #WHS recovery DVD.
@kazb711 it couldn't possibly be that ! ;-)
anyone have #twimgo 2.0.5 -- having trouble with 2.1.0 not appearing on desktop so need to regress to older version
finally going to head to gym. def got sore throat on way tho...
took son to party ~15-20 miles away. SHEESH some places 15 mpg. Thick Thick fog. Now very tired and sore throat has started
So why are some ppl so simple-minded and turn on rear fogs even with cars cimmediately behind/not thick fog. All were 4x4s too. pratts
@khertan super, thanks for info :-)
@kazb711 well kind-of. Managed it but think the lurgi is descending
@tpphotography is there an echo here. we were just talking about that. Think we have it on DVD but saves looking for it!
@McLaren_Fan that's what gets me. >>consideration<< for other users, thinking of impact, ppl in their own incompetant world
@lookingspiffy i headed up north of fareham - somewhere I hadn't been to before, country roads. Quite tiring/slow journey, clearer west
@unkn0wnvariable exactly, I rarely have mine on, and turn it off when cars close. that's intelligent behaviour. Too many morons on roads
@unkn0wnvariable People dont get that a) they dazzle b) make brake lights harder to see -- oh and c) p*ss*s others off
@unkn0wnvariable They should just have a sign "Excluse me, I'm a sad *** and don't know how to drive"
@jessfaith @Jocassels Is it too stereotypical to infer "man shopping" = gadgets "woman shopping"=clothes. Often seems way ;-)
@unkn0wnvariable indeed
@jessfaith I do go clothes shopping sometimes, but am awful - take too long, best bet is prob take daughter with me for feedback! ;-)
@Jodie_kemp Interested to see how you get on, I know so many more ppl that use fb (real world friends etc) though number that are "active"
@Jodie_kemp is far lower... I started keeping to family/close friends, but now it's pretty much anything goes - anyone I see or chat to
@Jodie_kemp regularly, or those I don't, but have in past (a bit sad really)
@jessfaith Can't say I indulge in any of those (music:online, books:amazon, stationary:email, scarves:no, makeup - you guess) ;-)
@Hands0n isn't that always the same?
@jessfaith you write real letters? I almost struggle to hold a pen these days. sad? maybe .
@jessfaith certainly an argument for ppl thinking about what they're saying, and a reason for longform but it has to be about a mix
@jessfaith twitter's super short 140 characters (or SMS) has huge consequences for "connectedness" & talking to ppl in a way like never b4?
@rodet what worries more is what it says about the drivers skills as I reckon in most cases it's not intential it's lack of awareness
@rodet and lack of awareness (like those that drive 45 mph in a 60 zone then pass a 30/20 school or wet vs dry) is a real killer imo
@jessfaith yes it's funny how twitter in some ways is also very personal - I guess it's the quick turnaround and continuous engagement
@martinpacker I saw inception then harry potter this year on #IMAX Only issue is have to see all films that way now!
Thinking - is it worth finding my "i am legend" dvd to avoid having to suffer ITV adverts... don't fit with a film!
@RhiannonMLane usually just start watching late (unless live sports/xfactor) to then catchup. tonight an exception. beer not tea tho!
@BellaCombs more important it's still a bank holiday!
@jayegan I only had ~30+ miles earlier but in places it was terrible - worst I can remember in quite a while. Not like...
@sophiiebailey no not hamilton. Now alonso... we could talk about that.. or briatore
@jayegan stressful ...
@davidchow Still patch/network dependent. only a single net, *still* works at home, only 2 at work. Not hot #fail
@davidchow illegal repeater, or femotlcell perhaps? #vorsprungdurchtechnik #fail
@RubberGoat well "sh*t" film I really found last night - "wanted" - Jolie. awful awful awful.
@martinpacker interesting. must read up on that. #Avatar
right . off to watch "i am legend". later...
Enjoyed i am legend. Not seen any upstairs downstairs. Everyone talking about it. Iplayer maybe.
@honeybee85 we caught up with 'real time' during the credits #avoidedtheadvertswin
@thecheekycritic use very rarely but absolutely know what you mean
@stevemartinross our timing was spot on. didnt find it too slow. enjoyable.
@jon_read good then. worth it still after film? may do that

@Amy_Wass came close to severed limb and electrocution here earlier...!
now watching top gear. dont think i'll be following their trailblazing route
@Bendihossan quite enjoyed actually!
@tlaukkanen Love #twimgo. On #n900 removed 2.0.5, installed 2.1.0. No sign of app. reinstalled qtwrt, still no sign. http://bit.ly/fHnR02
@listen_to_dom He fell then guiding the rope tugging car out of dune, and appeared to hit head, be dazed, then to hospital
shows how much times have changed. Old Nokia 6630 smartphone on 3 - been on since Sat 18th Dec. Now giving low batt warning!
@honeybee85 Well no wifi, there were no apps left running - a change from plug-in-every-day behaviour now (also have spare batt AND get
@honeybee85 a juice boost in the car sometimes!). Hope you had a good christmas. As it's bank hol reckon can be lazy for 2 more days!
In case anyone's wondering, that 6630 has just been sat on windowsill at home - not been really using it!
eek going through new follower notifications, think I may have hit my hourly api limit?
maybe not... getting errors from twitter web site...
@lukehmuse does he not park in gear as well? I always do both... doesn't everyone?
Apparently the shops are open today. So for those buying enough food for a month you needn't have bothered. 48 hours+ they were closed!
@Joyouscomms I have no idea, but is it just me that feels it's all a little childish?
trying firefox again and quickly realising why I prefer chrome - it really is SO much more responsive
@peteralevy @Jodie_kemp interesting balance isn't it. Def more "commercial" (like f1) on fb, yet also family. Its much more static, but I
@peteralevy @Jodie_kemp am now using both - some longer-running content works better on fb. I did for a while ignore fb, but no longer
@etherealtype That's sweet ;-) Sometimes I wish it was just a little quieter here, othertimes busier. BTW what area do you work in?
@ruskin147 never even heard of it. Just looked. more structured. interesting, but it's yet another site. fatigue?
@Welshracer what's up at the clifton bridge then?
@Welshracer Ah - I've only read the website not seen the tv reports. Knew it was that area but not how affected bridge.
@sebastiangiraud good reminder -- I used to watch it every week, but now haven't seen it for well over a year.
@Joyouscomms So now you're calling my bluff on whether I'm interested by dropping me a teaser ;-)
@kazb711 oh really. It was a while ago for me... though son just about to start taking lessons
@kazb711 I always go for fault tolerance - whether its sw/backups, parking, 2 phones etc!
@kazb711 And why not anyway. I also always start car with clutch down, as well as checking neutral (again redundancy!)
@kazb711 you'll be telling me no-one parks with wheels pointing into kerb on a hill next (plan C)
@Brownie1871 not quite that far! but also tend to have spare (old) ipod in gym bag, spare mouse batteries etc. obsessed?
no apparent problems using Tweetdeck, but #newtwitter is constantly saying I've used up all API calls.
So any #whs experts around. Still have my QSM.EXE 100% cpu issue. Trying to figure out what else except backup/reinstall/restore :-(
@AndreasMiceli thanks I have. It appears to be scanning every file in any share. Think it wakes up from a notify. not sure on why
@Brownie1871 I was thinking same, not so much around here (well one place perhaps)
@etherealtype you studying again now then?
@SabersKunk I've found a few, but not really anything useful (so far).
@F1_Dan1980 @melissa_RBRx Oh. I'm sub to lovefilm currently (base pkg 1 disc that allows online streaming). DO hope 2010 comes out. no sign?
@AndreasMiceli thx, I had seen that thread but just reread it. He did re-install but not total storage rebuild. (please no). search more..
@AndreasMiceli have you come across "chkde.exe" - I have installed (and reinstalled) toolkit+addin but can't find it?
Anyone have windows home server toolkit v1.0 #whs -- this is OLD version which contains "chkde.exe".
Grrr annoying when important functinoality gets removed from newer program versions #whs
@unkn0wnvariable I love linux, but that is far too simplistic a comment ... In this case backup, search becomes relevant too
@unkn0wnvariable storage/backup appliance is intent . It does this quite well, though I have a problem to debug :-(
@AndreasMiceli brilliant - thanks. will be interesting to see what the tool finds - am getting some timeouts on de migration too
@AndreasMiceli running now. Is throwing huge number of warnings (1 per file?) so could be incompat. tho for now it's whinging about not
@AndreasMiceli finding shadows for a volume that isn't redundant. (my download cache)
@AndreasMiceli http://bit.ly/i6Xmus - probably "normal" now. Still at least I can filter those out and see what other things may be reported
chkde only found 4 tombstone areas in a share I can dump. Ummm.
@pj_kent sorted now thanks #whs
@pj_kent UE46c6620
still trying to debug my WHS problem. should really take a walk outside before it gets too cold/dark
#whs #fail investigations so far -> http://bit.ly/hvO7ye
Yay by disabling services I've got WHS staying at 2% cpu except for once a minute 1-2s of search index update. Cool.
Looks like the cause of high #whs #cpu is "world wide web publishing services". Needed for admin, but errant customization perhaps?
lovely walk out with the dogs, but today has mostly been spent debugging a (personal) IT issue. :-( not watched a film/read yet!
@vixisabel same here, but then did skip lunch today. It's back to the turkey!
@Welshracer it's better than some non alcoholic bear, but not as good as appletise/orangina!
@vixisabel we had a menu/offer from local pizza company drop through door earlier. they're probably thinking the same!
@rachelclarke no-one would believe me when I said I saw them in Southampton on 23rd.. see!
@vixisabel ah! really... enjoyed my 2nd xmas dinner :-) And the dogs rather enjoyed tucking into some left over turkey too.
@vixisabel Amazine how well behaved they are when they know you're sorting out some fresh meat for them :-)
We just lost all power for approx 1s. Router surivived, but pretty much all else died - servers, pc etc
Just as I was writing a long forum response in a web ui. Wish I'd been using the laptop!
Some spammers are very sad - basic keyword triggers. What a waste of space and low lifes you are
@unkn0wnvariable it's still 3 clicks in tweetdeck. One (or none) would be better.

@FreshPlastic Upstairs I can pick up 8-15 wifi networks at home, I've yet to actually suffer demonstratable issues due to this.
@etherealtype sounds quite healthy. Could be breaky tomorrow. for now a quick turkey sandwich! eek
Someone else! I really enjoyed it too - great idea! RT @serafinowicz: Laughed so much at #comeflywithme
@oldmanuk @limi @spotify Twice this week I've used muzo.tv for video music streaming direct on net tv - nowhere near the selection but good
@Chl0w US evening dinner presumably? enjoy it. expect many this side of pond falling asleep for 2nd time today... (tho not me, yet)
rest of household now watching alan carr, I'm not really a fan....
@Chl0w We spread it over the day, starter 12-1, main about 3 (330 this year), pud wasn't until 630 ... #somuchfood
RT @natalimorris: Missing my maternity jeans right about now. #foodcoma
decided to try to debug my #whs high cpu issue. May have made some progress - non migrateable files. fixing??
@Chl0w For a time where it's meant to be about peace and forgivess it can get rather stressful. Still had a nice day hop you did too
@Inacurate That's my next step after recent tv/bluray - asn't died yet. 7 yr old sony dvd/51 system - now just used as amp. should replace
@Inacurate with nice new 7.1 system but lots ££ !
@Inacurate one thing you may need is AV sync delay too -- though in my case my 2 source devices (bluray, pvr) both have it anyway
@Inacurate I was looking at the Sony STRDA2400ES (discontinued, missed it for 200 UKP! ) or STRDH810 (new, missed it for 250 UKP)
@Inacurate Then there's the speakers. Again I *missed* an opportunity to get http://bit.ly/hmS2ti for 250 UKP (QAcoustics 1010i)
@Inacurate they would have been superb packages, but after spe nding on tv/bluray decided to wait.
wondering how I ca npossibly feel a little peckish this morning ...
@sarahloumillie especially home made cocktails - thats' the biggest trouble. too large measures!
@interestedb Me too! (bournemouth) Sorry you didn't enjoy come fly with me.
@Dr_JamesLogan Exactly the same! after a quiet family xmas at home. only for a few hours though
@stevelitchfield absolutely with you on that one - it was such a great app and a real selling point for the platform . Apps like tweetdeck
@stevelitchfield would be a big factor in next platform choice (using maemo now, great os/device but twitter apps aren't great)
@sarahloumillie yep, though lots of eating meant no-one felt up to playing with kinect (we've had it a while [beta], so have played before)
@interestedb wow. a claim to fame! We were pretty near front in Bournemouth. Def in first few rows. Fortunately didn't have to go onstage
@interestedb that would hav ebeen scary!
@interestedb a long way from you?
@cholled I get annoyed when I buy things in the first place with annoying packaging. OR that "cut your hands" moulded plastic stuff
@interestedb that is bad...
@interestedb Not too far, but as you sy ice is problem. Am going to surrey but apart from estate roads we can stick to main roads +
@interestedb motorway if required (esp. if icy) southampton->guildford
@VodafoneUK Hi. Ive just started contract with "free 1Gb wifi". Can login to "my account". Where do I find auth details for BTOPenZone etc?
@VodafoneUK I can see My bills->balances/unbilled usage but can only see unbilled calls/texts and plan details
@VodafoneUK Hoping for a simple "150Mb of 1Gb data used, 37 of unlimited textx, £2.50 in unbilled calls" something similar?
@sarahloumillie It's very cool/clever, but I think dependent on good titles. I'm not a gamer tho. can you try out at a friends/borrow game
@VodafoneUK I now have 2 contracts on "my account". does this mean both are billed on same date (no problem, just wondering)
@sarahloumillie You do need a fair bit of space for kinect also so consider that for room where xbox is etc
@VodafoneUK Hi. I cant seem to get to that url, just get redirected to http://bit.ly/dPeRF0 in chrome, ie,firefox . is that correct wifi url
lovely lookinmg buffet at parents. yum a change from turkey! and smoked salmon still present!
@VodafoneUK perfect thanks
pleasent afternoon visiting parents/brother. still wondering where the other 12 that were meant to eat (obviously) with us were. #somuchfood
@nnubeh I decided to hit the caffeine for a boost before evening tea/eating/drinking!
only got 1 book (alan sugar), so now should make a decision on whether to get kindle+ebooks for others I want to read (dragon tattoo). Ummm.
@FreshPlastic does ethernet hit similar issues or working ok (to eliminate the adsl/isp connection?)
@FreshPlastic maybe borrow a friends router for a test?
@nnubeh ouch that's tough. All 3! well done if it's working for you!
My WHS box is still playing up. High qsm.exe cpu every minute or so. something not right. ideas? #whs
@LauraLeslie23 simple minds, tears for fears, nananana-19,bryan adams,dire straits, kate bush,talking heads,starship - all good?
planning on watching top gear, but not live to fit in with others...
@Joyouscomms Must admit I preferred the dan brown books to films.
@Joyouscomms Well I had Alan Sugar's bio for a prezzie today, should be interesting. Next stop girl/dragon tattoo. considering kindle.
little pup teddy has been naughty. sent to kitchen to cool off. Now making awful screeching sounds...
@vixisabel lucky (and very happy) cat!
time for #kinect sports.
#kinect accident. launched javelin through ceiling light fitting tgaking out all light bulbs. shattered. part broken. cut hand. oops. #fb
think a movie may be safer. or dance central. time to consider room layout . ouch #kinect
yep. xbox going out for now. time for a beer. scratch that. stronger.
@f1_emma I have mine saved still too - also murray walker's #f1 greats sat on a disc to watch :-)
@LauraLeslie23 is she on tv at the moment then? #justsaying
that was a close shave. pretty minor cut, could have been a lot worse. electricity tripped and made everyone else jump/dogs bark.
now wondering if #kinect counts as "extreme sports" ? Do you need extra insurance ;-)
@xplane0202 Let me remind you who got nearly 80m on the first throw! #kinect #fail
@Joyouscomms ever see ashes to ashes? (sequel to life on mars). bbc series? And there was "identity" too
@littlecough #kinext needs lots of space. Am thinking padded cell to. For kinect right!
crazy. dont see why format makes any diff. RT @IBwan eBooks are subject to VAT? wow, are we really living in the dark ages?
@lcuk was thinking timepiece tho maybe that was later?
@kayels didnt enjoy lucas and walliams then. enjoy little britail? thought it was pretty funny!

@oldmanuk Oh you nasty person. I absolutely don't need it, but gadgets... Be good if it worked on all nets!
@oldmanuk do think a) should be free if no sig at hom b) v data tariffs should be cheaper, then use more #suresignal @vodafoneuk £20 cheap
@oldmanuk trying to think if any reason why I need. Get coverage everywhere in house - 60% 3G 40% 2G but have wifi. So y? ! (ans: a gadget!)
Kids are awake... best get the dinner started quickly before we get into present openings!
@anotherproblem how about trying to build a family tree. builds some fun family focus with the olds?
christmas vids now on
@anotherproblem should keep you busy then.
presents done for now. think everyone had fun. background xmas songs from muze.tv xmas playlist streaming to tv
turkey done. have to sort veg shortly....
so the xmas songs were going well.. err but rolf harris and status quo. surreal...
playlist v. cheesy now. after rolf harris we get chris moyles. definately only allowed on xmas day!
RT @jayegan: Snow in York on Christmas day! Makes it the first white Christmas for the first time in a long long time! :)
thinking i really should start on the roast potatoes
finally cooking the veg. quie christmas with kids so we're taking it slowly! 'lunch' (with starters mains pud) usually lasts all day anyway!
@etherealtype oh no! maybe i should stick to bubbly (on first drink of day!). funny enough i never spill red wine well not as i remember
Decided to go for this to accompany lunch http://bit.ly/dHeBKw (beneficio McLaren Vale Shiraz)
@etherealtype running behind schedule on the wine here, but found some nice bottles in my 24 bottles from virgin wines :-) Scrummy tasting
think I'm required to do more cooking. 1 book "jamies 30 min dinners" and another on cooking special breads (yum). :-)
serving dinner now having cooked it all and it is looking georgous
delicious
@hrwildberlin i remember brandy snaps - doubt any real alcohol?
looks like we're all off to see the #xfactor finalists at the o2 in march
looks like #kinect sports is on hold for *hours* tummies too full.
@etherealtype i can guarantee that. maybe more wine will help? thats what i'm going to try...
@racheeroo01 went this year or going next? should be fun. think we might stay up there too.
@grace_eb take stock over a glass?
@sidepodcast good party last night then?
@etherealtype you cant spill nice red wine! no excuses.
@etherealtype drink quick? less opportunity to spill. straight from bottle? #notagoodsign
@littlecough slippery slope. you'll be getting an iphone next?
@hrwildberlin you dont mean matchstick size 'matchmakers' ?
@EmLah could also compare with a decent port brandy etc -improves with age? thats what i like to think!
@GadgetPolly after a typical xmas lunch just making it away from the table to sofa is a major achievement!
girls asleep. watching 'the grid' 2004
@FreshPlastic multiple BB connections? That's showing off!
twitter annoyingly sick. http://on.fb.me/cutZAH if you want to add
Lovely xmas pud. first time in years not home made, but tesco finest pud with waitrose creamy brandy sauce - excellent.

after buying too much and about to eat too much now watching the #panorama prog on food/supermarkets!
@thecheekycritic if it goes well both probably...
ended up watching winners week #xfactor. matt def the best male winner (tho i like the ladies..!)
@davidchow prob will all nets. i only have a single one working at home. do you have any 3g. can u switch?
so 20m people watched #xfactor final. that really is a huge (est) audience -one of few itv progs (and ads-as live) i watch
do really like the blueish glow of the xmas outdoor led string lighting up the house. soothing
@oldmanuk I hadn't seen the detail listed (thanks) but did know Matt was consistently top #xfactor
@sxa555 Past experience asking techie Qs hasn't been overly positive. (to any co).
@sxa555 good lucking penetrating the "level 1" forcefield protecting knowledgeable staff from the outside world ;-)
@sxa555 that's a wicked price. I paid 99.99 and felt it was good value.

Lovely christmas eve hoovering. Still the kids are doing the "Pigs in blankets" so we're getting there!
@eric_andersen Yep - and checking my profile I wrote about 2003 as "the future" ... think it launched 2000 focussed on alumni
@eric_andersen A lot of ppl used it in the UK for a while before facebook took off.
preparing salmon starter mousse for tomorrow. regular+smoked yum (and yes @etheraltype it has cream cheese too)
@chris_dudley not going anywhere tomorrow! Boxing day, more relatives but not tomorrow :-)

@ananyah yep same here, though was somewhat occasional until 2008 think around feb/mar #f1 kicked off in a frenzy on twitter
@MiaF1Design ok so you're making all us brits feel like wooses. esp down south. must be at least down to 0 right now ;-)
@ThreeUK Honestly I really wish I could but lack of coverage in two key areas (for a long time, reported, no plans) mean no option for now
@VodafoneUK Thanks, you have another reply with another suggestion/request.
@ThreeUK As Mariah Carey would say "All I want for Christmas is You" (or at least a some 3 masts, or one that goes to 11 ;-)
@ThreeUK I hope so. Still have an old (or 2?) 3togo plans active & 2 kids on 3 so can monitor the situation easy enough..
Dilemma. Gym then town or town then gym... probably the former I think
Just as I have a day off there's some work things niggling I wish I'd completed, but they'll have to wait :-(
@Dr_Black Nice bit of thinking though not a runner (and need more ex.) , and also have to get stuff to carry. Also gym x-trainer / treadmill
@Dr_Black perfect for watching podcasts!

@G4Shallow I think this is common to all co's. I'm currently having grief with @VodafoneUK about a non tracking purchase for a
@G4Shallow £100 cashback (40% off). Now I may need to cancel & loose number because neither V or CB (quidco) can help w/in cancel period
@G4Shallow I'm probably (hoping?) to get to a half way comprimise to save the hassle, but been burnt here. IMO the c/b tech is flawed
@MichaelxHell :-) Have to say am happy to say my Gaggia has no electronics at all. switches, solenoids, pump, heater http://flic.kr/p/7NiWkB
@G4Shallow I did get a failed three one, but I think it was when I ordered a £10 sim and cb was listed as £12, so wasn't surprised rejected
@G4Shallow but it's this whole lack of clarity over eligibility & no confirmation during order process that is scary/frustrating - the
@G4Shallow co's like Vodafone, Three etc etc are collectively to blame as well. I know simple answer is of course not to use/expect
@G4Shallow which maks the smaller amounts just a "bonus" -- the problem is more the bigger amounts where the cost equation changes so much
@MichaelxHell not even any espresso based drinks (americano etc). I'm a serious fan & it's one of the most critical "gadgets" in the house!
hearing that town is ridiculously busy. Only need a little ad-hoc wander, mostly sorted. Think exercise/relax first & go later...

@MichaelxHell well if you could "flash" an espresso machine to become a wine or whisky maker then perhaps that would be of interest ;-)
@jadejavu looking good, hopefully power/calls/gps/camera will be working b4 too long, then very potent
@jadejavu I still really like maemo as an OS though. Main issue is lack of commercial sw. (some ie angry birds, sygic etc, but ltd)
@jadejavu and still no perfect twitter app (tweetdeck,gravity). What do you use? #twimgo current favourite though no notifications
Nice. Just got a christmas £15 from qriocity (on demand service on bravia internet tv) - an extra movie or two for xmas :-)
whatever we do - heavy or light streaming (not excessive) we end up heading approx 160Gb/month. still considering BT's 300Gb infinity pkg
Still procrastinating about whether to go with BT Infinity (now,18m, 300Gb,£25) or wait for sky/be (?,?,?,?)
@ApprenticeLaura There's been messages going around about police that I'm 99% sure are fakes. THOUGH I do agree with sentiment #snow
@ApprenticeLaura as it can fly off and surprise vehicles behind and more worringly for me implies a lack of care/skill in bad weather #snow
@ApprenticeLaura Just found this -- http://bit.ly/dOLKbL #snow
@evoGage yes it does, remember though that with a 30-40 Mbps connection could eat limit in a day. Also likely use more wish it was 12m cont
@ApprenticeLaura Also anything that could be regarded as without care/attention / dangerous is illegal... #snow
@nikhilpai @nkumar_ @m_krishna @adityasinghvi Spot on - as a N900 owner that remains the single biggest hole. #twimgo closest.
@Sk4zZi0uS apparently good (could be as NDS is local? !) . We have lots of LLU choice. I'm with O2 LLU. Excellent too, but 4 Mbps/4.7km
@evoGage Yeah, talktalk are in feb, but really should avoid -- too many bad stories I read. BT look more Ok, but Be would be idea. When tho?
@evoGage I've not heard anything since their MD blogged back in July, twice. Then silence. That article hinted at a BTw service with limits
@evoGage maybe the delay is to get llu (well VULA/GEA) sorted as talktalk have managed it. I should really wait. Surely can't be > 3 months?
@bebroadband Any chance of any blog updates on fibre - not heard anything since MD's posts in July :-(
@evoGage sky another contender, though nothing from them in 2010.
@Sk4zZi0uS For me 4.5/1 -> 31/8 approx (max, BT "fault" threshold is 12/x, should be 15/x +). No VM here
Realising another task for today - really should give "Dance Central" with kinect a go - before we have any visitors :-)
@Sk4zZi0uS With fibre to the cab the connection between home-exchange is via *BT Openreach* which is nearly uncontended & fixed cost to ISP
@Sk4zZi0uS From exchange can go to any provider. Big one is "BT wholesale" (the big BT network), which "BT retail" sell Infinity on
@Sk4zZi0uS But an ISP can connect to openreach it at exchange via (I think) GBe and then go over own backhaul (ie talktalk,sky,telefonica)
@Sk4zZi0uS BT appear to enforce FUP very strongly. It's not officially documented in FUP, but they do share details on forum/twitter
@Sk4zZi0uS I'm using streaming TV more and more, But BT is clearly best package on table for high use for now.
@_MissAnnie_ sounds like my parents also used to be #TwitPict
@davidchow doesn't sound too bad, I'm hoping to try Vodafone's £2/day £10/month limited package on next europe visit. Better than 0 data.
@evoGage Like idea of sky too to get sky player & anytime+ but it could be early 2011, or late 2011 or later.. who knows (and can say!)
@nkumar_ I have full openJDK on mine and run some "desktop" apps (for work purposes). Maps is a #nokia #fail on #n900 IMO
@nkumar_ mappero isn't bad, there's others too, and can consider sygic (not free) for car navigation #n900
@nkumar_ never tried, was using openjdk to run a desktop app on a pocketable device (Ui worked but barely usable, but server worked)
@G4Shallow it's certainly got me feeling stressed
@G4Shallow not so much the cost - it isn't as if it will bankrupt me (already happened! ?) it's more the plan having failed
@davidchow will post am sure. Not till feb. better than nothing. should be enough for fb/twitter, need to take care to avoid sw updates
tescos surprisingly not overly busy.had to pick up a tecos finest xmas pudding after having at a friends.
@Sk4zZi0uS yes it is. never gone above 200 afaik but streaming is increasing after new hd tv kit so i predict it will increase
@Sk4zZi0uS also speed will enable concurrent streams (4 ppl) . without internal controls teenage kids/friends could eat quota in no time
@vixisabel shopping or relative. about to tackle former....
@rachelclarke grr a real peeve of mine. got stung with music vids last week just cos i browsed from tv not pc
yay no traffic queues into #southampton. no parking problem. looking good!
cold tho...here
town so far is rather quiet
still shopping eek. stuck on one last present for my dad. foodie. going to have to be the jams again..
@racheeroo01 southampton got a lot busier late afternoon. still here...
did get to try the german spicy sausage with 'curry' sauce earlier at german market having been inspired by #apprentice wk.2? not spicy enuf
@racheeroo01 indeed. and aching. finally last pres done. like me
@etherealtype honestly it wasnt that great. more like ketchup with a bit of spice. my chilli stds are far far higher. still tried it now
@etherealtype all the local cider looked tempting but managed to stay away!
@DougieLawson now that is serious. does walking around town shopping count?
@etherealtype it was bottled to bring home. must get some more stuff from http://www.mrpickles.co.uk/ naga is nice.
@etherealtype surprised no sushi there. i would guess plenty of fish. too traditional?
phew. home and worn out..
Best decide what to do about my @vodafoneuk contract now that I have some though not all info/clarity on what can/cant be done
noticed my skype plugin is causing crashes on both chrome and IE... leaving disabled. anyone else?
@nathanchantrell actually I've been having issues with those plugins on win 7 x64 for a while (since before) just mentioned it!
Quick try of #chromedeck now that notifications working, but I can't deal with the constantly scrolling timeline. Back to air version
still not tried dance central... prob not a good idea after dinner which I'm only just having now...
@honeybee85 Hey I'll have you now I finished my shopping today. And it's christmas eve *eve* (is that your excuse for another prezie today?)
wondering how much longer I can put off any wrapping (actually most prezzies pre-wrapperd:-) )
@EmmaGx cool - nice to get complemented ! #chuffed
@honeybee85 certainly when I got to town today it was definately more male dominated than usual, but far! quieter than expected though :-)
@amandagolding rinse, repeat :-)
@LauraLeslie23 they're still v. strong, interested to see how the new on-demand services (youview, btvision,talktalk) impact them
kid taxi service. last thing for today then finally get to sit down and finally have a beer/ watch tv/film
m.check.in is broken? seems to be defaulting to a brite kite site (owner). maybe time to give up. any other multi checkin web apps?
@LauraLeslie23 they are still a massive force. would like to see more content avail through multiple platforms.
@LauraLeslie23 having ondemand direct on main tv with fast broadband is massive
finally sitting down.

watching some muzo.tv vids on samsung tv. not bad selection and decent pq/aq..
thinking muzo.tv could be good for a party. better than youtube playlist fail... only seems to have user favs not user lists tho
thinking this is why i need a near unlimited fttc service... so much streaming content these days
@Shelley__Lee quite liking muze.tv on the samsung internet@tv - decent app, lots of music vids. never tried web site.
do wish all these audio/video streaming services on tvs would pre-stream the next track and cross fade for parties!
spent some time comparing sony bravia internet with samsung internet@tv. samsung is def quicker. things like iplayer gen more responsive
except for a serious #fail with ff/rw. sony has lots of apps but mostly poor content/us oriented/outdated.
muze.tv is good on samsung and can watch bbc hd stream 3.2 Mbps on my 4 Mbps connection.
an evening streaming only, like last sat is confirmung need for high limit/unlimited service. fttc from sky/be or maybe talktalk?
@epredator i can get infinity now but usage is high enough to make the fup a concern. may need to hold out for more providers
@Shelley__Lee yes it is. first serious browse tonight. better than youtube as curated. also lots of yt content wont play on tv/bluray
looks like 14 Gb/2 days, about 9 of that today work/play/stream. looks as if use up a little on 160 avg. 200 at this rate
@hrwildberlin sadly virgin not here. sky/be/o2 no fttc yet. get 4Mbps adsl so borderline for hd streaming
@hrwildberlin infinity has 12 Mbps min (less is fault) and restrictions above 300 Gb. talktalk have ann new service feb 2011 (their net)
@hrwildberlin sounds prob really unlim though dodgy cs. wish sky/be would offer. on o2 dsl. good svc.
@anotherproblem i am on same pkg. great isp. no limits. my issue is distance 4.7km 60dB atten means max 4.5 Mbps with adsl2+ tech
@anotherproblem hence why a fttc service is interesting. should get up to 30 (still 470m). will be 3-6 x faster.
@epredator how much data do you need per month. for more than 50 less than 300 the bt pkg looks sound (limited p2p)
@hrwildberlin happy with infinity? not getting close to limits? its best out there at mo imo. were talktalk issues technical or cs/billing?
@hrwildberlin mentioned bus packages. way to get service and lots/data but prohibitive price for home.
@anotherproblem dont blame you. also dont renegotiate a new o2 contract as new ones have limits. if i was on 10+ would also stay.
@vodafoneuk Hi. Do you have any progress update on the (long?) email I sent yesterday ref order/port/cancel? thanks.
@VodafoneUK No autoreply as sent to webrelations@gb.vodafone.co.uk. Mails at 2129 Mon, 1319, 1327 Tue (more info).
@VodafoneUK receipt indicated by @vodafoneuk at 0920 from HP ?
@VodafoneUK Also 1336 yesterday HS mentioned someone in touch soon (can't be certain email was seen, could have been generic response?)
@VodafoneUK Thanks, I know its non trivial, even if will take longer a quick update would be great.
Can't believe the dogs are being so quiet/lazy this morning. *still* dozing on the sofa in the dining room whilst I work...
@icicle_halo_ I can see them from where I'm sat! Looks safe for now

noticed some rendering issues in chrome. ACID3 test failed. Looks like an issue between chrome beta and flashblock extension. Disabled.
@vodafoneuk So what also #mademesmile is ppl still tweeting about it even after it's ended. A nice appropriate promotion imo.
@vixisabel @redbullf1spy Yeah this is a fake. Though could be deemed unsafe driving. AND it's bad/dangerous not to clear so agree/sentiment

@etherealtype @misslundgaard I am *terrible* but mostly in one area- deciding about tech purchases. months of research usually... ;-)
shockingly unhelpful response from @vodafoneuk to an email. trying to move from @ThreeUK and thinking perhaps wrong decision
@vodafoneuk Just sent a reply to your email. Come on, you can do better than that response surely.
@mobileindustry @edent Just confirms my perception of #debenhams as being behind the times
@Joyouscomms romsey's nice. Enjoy some peace and quiet!
@lostplan @_LauRawrrr_ actually sometimes I find them quite useful (I mean other peoples) ... Needs to be done sensitively though
@riveerrrrssss ah my local. You're obviously closeby.
@VodafoneUK Sent another email with another suggestion trying to figure out process that works to best resolve my issue
@vodafoneukdeals whats best price on 20/month (on web) 12m sim only 600mins/unlim/1Gb.
@amandagolding i plan to watch later, tho with a family cant see a boycott working but will want to understand the point prog is making
@JoC00per event as a tiny thumbnail on my phone you shine as a glowing beacon :-) enjoy the change.
