From Twitter 01-12-2011



emails sent, explanations given, laptop shut. Right going to watch something on Tv!
@boostbyslinky cost is, though some relief from differences in tax regime potentially (like company tax, congestion charges,road tax etc)
@boostbyslinky that's one thing that never changes...
watching the first ep. of 'Artic' with Bruce Parry...
watching bruce parry prog - is in verkoyansk - typical -60C winter up to +30 summer. Has been to -70 and +37 C Woah!
Wikipedia entry -- http://bit.ly/i5z7AQ
Artic prog - "the reason you face te tent this way is to do with the spirit world"? "No, it's because the wind blows from over there"
@lookingspiffy write it, ave as draft then re-read in morning over coffee before sending?
@xspyda It seems very wrong this change is applied within contract. Surely change should be for new contracts only. @tmobile
@xspyda indeed - surely have to release from contract.I'm not on tmob fortunately. I had to go to small voda allowance. but I agreed to that
@Booooothman indeed, I guess in part the infrastructure is simple, but clearly just a different world
sleeeeeeeeeep
RT @oldmanuk: Google Chrome removing native h.264 is a huge mistake.
@Soggous "last" bottle of wine? does not compute ;-)
oh dear. powers that be have decided I have too much email so can no longer send/receive. that's nice :-(
@etherealtype Not too bad tho be loads more cheerful if this damn lurgi would totally go. Mild nose issue but lingering/annoying ...
dropped car at garage for repair. Expect a rather large bill later, or more likely tomorrow #car #fail
@f1rogues :-( true.... I do worry modern turbo diesels are not the most reliable/cheap to repair vehicles around.
@WebBasedWorking no.. some of the causes are a) large graphical sigs b) other large non-detachable mime parts - presentations etc
@WebBasedWorking c) regular attachments. c) easiest to fix, but real fix is getting ppl to think/not send/share in other ways
@noelrooney thanks though I'm going to WFH so I can pop along and pickup car when(if?) ready
@xplane0202 yep
@Soggous good goal. I should try same
@etherealtype wierdly it was a nasty 2 day bout just before NYE, clearing up by afternoon of 31st. Yay. Just returned in milder form -
@etherealtype not a huge deal really so shouldn't complain too much. Not stopping anything. Not as bad as bruises? recovered?
script currently running on my email to remove all attachments. Shame it cant remove gfx sigs/other blobs
grrr. still fighting my email. this is such a fun effective morning
@geraintwjones nope, not today -- wfh
feeling rather stressed about silly issues getting in the way of getting real work done.
Time for lunch - not a fun morning, but last job was helping/explaining something to someone which went well & always feels good.. :-)
@epredator I take it your xbox->tv->amp issue was only getting 2.1 not 5.1? (same issue here - samsung tv. common problem)
@geraintwjones yep
@shellk1984 I find about the only 2 things that stop me being so are a) eye contact/face2face disucssions b) music ??
@epredator interesting. Not using anything interactive (xbox/ps3) on this set, just sky/br etc, so sync on tv better as delayed same as pic!
@epredator but if you're physically interacting with the music I can see where ms's count for audio?
RT @SirajSoft: S60V3 Users are blessed Today YOU can download any ovi app for free thru store.ovi.mobi delete your ovistore app and down ...
Ohh. Had dispatch note for my BT Home Hub -- so one step closer to BT Infinity install on 18th :-)
@etherealtype deep breath?
@miketbh will certainly let ppl know. fingers crossed - esp hoping I don't end up without any BB..
Why does it suddenly feel like 1am... need something to keep me awake...
@Joyouscomms congrats for something ....
RT @Formula1_com: BBC confirm it it will broadcast Formula 1 in HD for next season #F1 #TeanF1 #bbc
ref #f1 in HD on bbc -- made the right choice upgrading to HD a few months ago. Just don't now say it will be 3D - then v. annoyed!
All io & cpu needs to be instant/infinite. Always dislike the classic "waiting for...."
don't you just hate windows when you click browse in file dialog, but can't interrupt as busy on slow network I/O. Grrr. how long b4 kill..
@MUZUTV Playlists - is it poss to easily move items between playlists? shuffle play? can samsung internet@tv shuffle play playlist?
@etherealtype Sounds pretty horrible - I'd certainly consider reporting. Hope you're ok.
starting to worry about my call from the garage. I think we could be talking very expensive. Eeek.
My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Jewel (7), Christine Blachford (6) & Mariah Carey (5) #music http://bit.ly/aC2d2Q
Eek. Garage report fault could b one of a number of different things (which I knew). going with fuel pressure reg. valve (P0089 xtrail)
@unkn0wnvariable that's fine. nor will my living room, though talk of #f1 HD was once reason I caved in and upgraded CRT->HD recently
@Sulman yes, basically anything that isn't in the background or is interruptible. Simple user interaction principle.
@paulbackhouse actually all OSs wind me up at some points, tho yes Win more than others
@Stewzer Ah. No freeviewHD here yet until 2012. No virgin in my street, so decided to go sky+->hd to get the HD content
feeling stressed (financially) at thought of whether first "attempt" will actually fix car. no guarantees... (anyone want to buy an xtrail?)
@lookatbowen Yep should be another great one
@NeilBaileyF1 I wish, they're unable to determine. (same story everywhere it seems)
@NeilBaileyF1 it may be a pain, but I don't agree it's fraudulent as long as it's agreed what/why/howmuch. Still don't like it but dont
@NeilBaileyF1 see an alternative in this situation
#tmobile has capitulated on the data FUP change down to 500Mb for existing customers. Reason rules -> http://bit.ly/gDWzUV #fb
Mind you that #tmobile statement is written as if it was all a matter of wording and confusion. I think NOT- they backed away (sensibly) #fb
@nnubeh not that silly though - could be flash based? or java, or activex etc....
@nnubeh I still see sites though that fail on some browser versions - javascript issues etc. ..
@nnubeh so I don't have one, but yes... point is there's always sites that don't work prop on chrome/safari/firefox/IE6/7/8/9 etc (sadly)
@nnubeh and some sites check browser user-agent and block based on that
@nnubeh good! Just answered generally...
@nnubeh well maybe if you use the wrong app it will break the internet (thinks #itcrowd)
@JayMontano interesting. I've only tried once!
@xplane0202 in what way?
a wet 45min walk with the dogs in the pseudo rain..an enjoyable break
@xplane0202 before/after a) switching 3-voda b) upgrading 2.2 - 2.3
@buff_s @shellk1984 i would hope they worry more about overall quality of driving than speed. ie relative to conditions, too close etc
@buff_s @shellk1984 and easy to measure/prove..
spent 3r3rd evening this week looking at as level exam papers to help son. computing -- def scope for debatable answers there.
@AdamManning I mean a feeble drizzle but very damp
eek the zzzzz key on this keyboard is quite stuck. At least it's not aest etc...
RT @quimgil: Windows 7: "A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting."
<shock news> Thinking of skipping tv/reading/more browsing. Could be time for an early night for me...
@unkn0wnvariable tho that depends on provider. i think 3 dont charge?
@seeyouatthebar i'd prob go black but got purple for daughter. those my two favs
@pj_kent not superb but ok.. lots to do tomorrow and want to have good day at work. lots to do. and v. busy weekend. so need to bank some..
@seeyouatthebar reds pretty vibrant. guess depends on image. i think purple more subtle/sophisticated. black is very utility.
@seeyouatthebar but dont take myadvice. hardly a fashion guru....
@richardbarley well my car isnt fort knox but when i got locked out i called a car locksmith - right tools/technique.
@seeyouatthebar guess that depends on what image you want to project..
@seeyouatthebar a chameleon skin ? or get more than 1? no iphone here but do tend to get phone/ipod skins from ebay cheaply.
@seeyouatthebar getting kindle 3 and am going to try a gel skin rather than silicone..
night all. zzzzzzzzz (am not using dodgy pc kbd!) time.
