From Twitter 01-28-2011



@WatsonTom91 @LukaSambuca At least you can sell the idea as saving 1 character off your tweets/SMSs :-)
@timhawes @Hands0n I love the idea of it - community involvement, sadly net coverage rules it out for me
@PoliticsPenguin Yes I did, and just clicked the "express interest" option
@PoliticsPenguin Have mortgage and home insurance with coop. Like to use them :-)
@PoliticsPenguin how long ago did you sign up? You're not involved with midcounties?
@Liz_Locke a free one? or a 2-for-1 ? [does that count ;-) ]
@PoliticsPenguin switched to them when I moved 6 years ago for mortgage
@PoliticsPenguin the price diff you mentioned was huge. I'll have to run through figures but may even be worth going onto std eon tariff
@PoliticsPenguin if co-op around soon. first I'd heard of it so thanks for mentioning.
@PoliticsPenguin No just the 2 tier tariff. when I price up b4 last switch total cost was nigh on identical as you'd expect anyway
So @AngryBritain @f1ellen Just do something like this but with TV and you might have 3D http://bit.ly/eYVNaY
Just saw the sky BB advert slagging off BT. It's accurate (llu only), but uncomfortable at slagging off competitors approach.
@nnubeh they're copying apple's success in claiming "new" innovative features that have been around for years
@timhawes @Hands0n or get a free giffgiff sam - which I did (all nets) to try. Poor cov at home despite claimed top coverage and not much 3G
@timhawes @Hands0n but all down to individual prefered locations - all nets have gaps...
@hunni_h dell mini 10 (1012, 1018) may be worth a look http://bit.ly/h3siBH or keep an eye on http://bit.ly/dJlmse ?
@aimee_maree I have android 2.3 (tho don't really use it) - mego 1.1 with handset UX (no video accel, so useless). @andypiper
@little_jodieF1 thanks, first #ff of the day. #f1
@sxa555 I've not noticed any outage, though the router has hung once. But then I'm not monitoring closely.
@sxa555 I have both a) pulled wlan ethernet b) recycled vdsl modem once each -- to resync intentionally and see if profile changes
@little_jodieF1 actually maybe you were tired since you did me 2 #ffs ... !
@sxa555 am back to my 22ms bbc btw (few ms less on wired). vdsl hop seems to be about 9ms, 14ms to recognizable core net
@aimee_maree android on n900 still missing camera, gps, voice calls - and hw button mapping is more awkward
@aimee_maree meego very meh for now, expect 1st commercial dev from nokia will be more hybrid meego/maemo than pure. n900 meego is raw
@aimee_maree son just got a Nexus S (to track android rel). Very nice. N900 still better at some things but nexus gr8 all rounder
@aimee_maree well assuming you're targetting the handset ux then n900 is obvious choice for now (of course for dev nokia are pushing Qt)
RT @ruskin147: Amazon says sold more Kindle editions than paperbacks in US last quarter
@ruskin147 They did also report the same at least once last year (in July) too
@andypiper And of course wireshark runs on the N900 (yes I have it installed) ... ;-) #nerdyphone
@racheeroo01 thanks again for the #ff and chat/dialogue.
moderate BB usage this month - on track for 110Gb, so should be safe of 300Gb in general - plenty of reserve for streaming/dloads
Nice thing about #fttc - just got itunes update notification - took around 13s or less to download. cool
wierd. laptop misbehaving. cpu virtually 0 but all screen redraw is running very slowly. gfx driver issue perhaps
Benefit of WFH - I can start early and then head to gym over lunch :-)
@RachEdwardsF1 Many thanks for your #southampton #ff
@isleofwightbob thanks for the local #ff
I just unlocked the "Gym Rat" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/gwRvWa
This is the kind of "dream job" I'd aspire to many years ago -Fusion at NIF. Brilliant stuff http://bit.ly/e3vkTo #physics #fusion #nif #fb
@mjserres No, Just gym machines etc tho I know a few ppl trying to persuade me. Love long walks be it 5k or 15k but higher energy-gym 4 now.
@evoGage thanks for the #FF
@neicey slow off the mark on that reply though. Had to look up the original...
@eric_andersen I seem to remember I'd just got home from school and was watching it live. Was prob the first space accident I saw that way.
@btcare hi am waiting for a callback on infinity BB VOL011-44929666953 opened Sunday. voicemail left, but am avail now at home/email/mobile
council replied to my request yesterday for 2010/2011 mobile Operators Association rollout plan -planned new 2g/3g sites in local area. #fb
Nice to get helpful, accurate, very quick reply from @testvalleybc (well email to planning) on my request for planning info
Hey excited, just had a call from Las Vegas, I won the jackpot. Oh wait... it may not be serious ;-) GO AWAY LOW LIFES
@Tuesdaytweetup yes
@OzoneVibe well there's definately some people from North of Winch, tho more from southampton
RT @ThreeUK: One hour left to enter our competition to #WinThreeSmartphone Retweet & good luck. Winner will be announced at 5. Excited!
just realised the LED light on my laptop screen only properly illuminates the keyboard when screen is at a totally unusable angle #fail
looks like sony tv/blurays are getting a full opera web browser http://bit.ly/fuHC73 - need way to use phone kbd like samsung has
had call "difficult person to track down". What! twitter/email/sms/mobile + many more *which you had* don't assume only PHONE works ;-)
decent support from BT. forum,twitter,onlinechat,techsupport all professional,helpful,knowledgeable,local,unscripted (even if not immediate)
@RichardMLamb yep
@RichardMLamb it's approach chocolate teapot standards not quite, tho that could appy to the poor output screen in presence of ambient light
reading a note I'm supposed to comment on that is jam packed full of internal acronyms that am not aware of. run through plain english tool?
I have the window open in study. Annoyingly I can smell some nice food odours in the air #hungrynow
@RichardMLamb The Dell backlit keyboard looks good (daughter has it) and led screen (1920x????) is superb. But kbd did break, and opening up
@RichardMLamb -> the build quality of things like the keyboard connector is.. err.. verging on non-existant. Obv cheaper than W lenovo
Love it! (in ref 2reading doc with TLA) RT @IBMInitiate: @planetf1 Make up your own TLAs (three letter acronyms) to use in your comments ;-)
how did it get to 1840! Did I fall through a gap in the space/time continuum
Mmm.. too much of today has been spent talking about and planning what needs to be done, not doing it :-(
enjoyed watching last of trevor macdonalds secrets/meditteranean - but with that should really get to sleep. have to be up around 6 :-(
@parboo thanks for the soton #ff recommendation
@icicle_halo_ thanks for the #FF
Some superquick #ffs before sleep *very early for me* coming up...
@fradgepick thanks for the local #FF
@mike_griffin_f1 thanks for the #f1 #ff recommendation
@hunni_h glad to be of assistance! #FF
@KyleBoyd a slip of the tongue so to speak. perhaps a freudian slip in some cases?
@hunni_h so many choices btw phones/smaller/larger tablets/netbooks/laptops, but their def. very useful and great value
@mememolly or waiting for a) a phone call b) DHL/other courier to deliver a parcel ;-)
#ff @ozonevibe @mjserres @walkerooo @neicey @nnubeh @paulbackhouse some cool #southampton ppl (that I haven't already ffd!)
#ff more #f1 ppl @little_jodief1 (there's the 2nd) @etherealtype @vixisabel @honeybee85 @Shelley__Lee @Alexandra_1608
#ff and some more #f1 @BellaCombs @SlyRenard
#ff some cool new ppl I met this week @eileenb @neilcockerham and more tech ppl @handson and #southampton @riveerrrrssss
@xspyda thanks for the #ff - always good to hear the phone critique:-)
@EmpireSteve thanks for the #ff steve << great local tweep and #f1 fan
#ff And of course yet more local tweeps @_pocketdynamo @dellacunio
@xspyda 18 in 24 months. Seriously? Wow. Do you know what OCD stands for? ;-)
@xspyda I'm sure, as soon as you can see around the corner -- but you're on a very bendy road ..
@xspyda @xplane0202 's new nexus-s looks great (though I like a hw kbd, and camera not up to nokia stds). super slick though
