each year i say I'll skip the #americanidol <auditions> yet am watching again. some dire examples...
finally got around to restarting my online cloud backup - at least upload is now 8 Mbps :-) Must have 10s of Gb backlog since end Dec
had not fixed up after re-installer server at christmas. tut tut.
@hunni_h Have never been big msn user, intially used more gtalk, now facebook chat is increasingly useful... anyone still use msn?
@ananyah that looks vey good! Didn't skimp on the topping ..
@xspyda they lost it for a while (after razr) but some decent h/sets now -- and radio sensitivity should be top notch
@EmLah Definately bad "barbers", "fleet street","dodgy pie" in one sentance=<runs away quick>
@Jodie_kemp haven't seen it, but that sounds so so awful.
@TheLongTallAlly just slightly better than underwear...
@Rachaelwith2As There's been talk of various councils doing that. is it a work carpark, or council? not a good sign. Whats pub. trans like?
@etherealtype The whole situation is a concern, including destroying cultural treasures
@xspyda it's novel.. in terms of docs very ££ tho so don't expect high sales. Sync may be better done in cloud?
@Hedgewytch are you used to a trackpoint? I always have and find trackpads hard to use...
@xspyda for the desktop - would prefer to just use multiple devices but with synchronized desktop state perhaps
not sure how much more #americanidol (half watching) I can stick. Ears getting sore
@EmLah maybe go vegetarian for a bit ;-) And stick to long hair.
@Amy_Wass As a sw engineer it's surprisingly one thing I've never mastered(spent time on). Everyone else seems to be able to!
@Rachaelwith2As ah.. I thought it was a tax on work provided parking spaces
@MissLundgaard yummy, though fresh (from seed) plain (no oil/ butter etc) popcorn I actually find quite nice too.. and healthy (I think!)
@Racing_Reporter will be interesting to see american #xfactor this year..
@TheLongTallAlly I would have asked for a wet plate then!
@Rachaelwith2As 50 miles round trip/day. ouch. efficiency big factor on car choice. (fort I am about 4m & wfh some days)
@OzoneVibe I've only seen the first one - rest are queued up on sky+ but hearing lots of good things on the series
@Racing_Reporter just to see how the different format works out
Bedtime... Both trying to squash into one bed! http://pi.pe/-iifbec
unlike yesterday today I did not wake before alarm #tired #sleeppatternfail
just done the first part (ie what I remember) of the 90 day password change cycle for work. Good start to a monday...
oh joys of 'popping in' to post office to send parcel. thinking have work to go to and shall we say it smells of smoke here.
yay theres 3 desks open now
looks like this phone batt dud. looses first 1/3 power instantly.
@Sk4zZi0uS should be up to 10. i think the bus pkg may even be 15 or maybe thats not launched yet. cool for backup!
post office queue very quick. #win
@Sk4zZi0uS yep mostly get 30 Mbps+. once 26 in 2 weeks. 300gb fup
@saltyF1 yep. surprising how not that many years ago was allowed in buildings. brilliant to have that change. s
@Sk4zZi0uS they do throttle p2p. no issue 4 me
new plantronics 995 wireless headset has arrived. yay!
@Shelley__Lee well the usb charge port failed after 20 months. under warranty but bus. purchase couldnt get receipt so reorder
@Shelley__Lee so have used for well over year. quality is excellent for calls and music. very occasional glitch. range variable ok 4me
Yummy salad lunch :-)
@Shelley__Lee It's a USB (computer) headset. Tho with windows 7 when I get a VoIP call in, Win automatically fades the music, and then when
@Shelley__Lee call finished fades it back in. (works much nicer than linux ever did for this scenario)
@saltyF1 older ppl grown up in env where more common/popular - fair enough. What makes me sad is younger ppl..
@Inacurate agree there - they need to get sorted & be clear. Our family's totally left nokia now, even tho good HW.
RT @cmckinleyF1: Todays car launches: Lotus - http://twitpic.com/3v5ko9 Sauber - http://twitpic.com/3v5l74 Renault - http://twitpi ...
missed the launches -- work. Good?
RT @HantsTopDaysOut: Come to "Kids Adventure Day" 21 February at 09:00 until <br />25 February at 16:00. Great fun on Beaulieu Est ...
@saltyF1 Need to get myself a nuclear fusion powered car ;-)
Tho only 15 mins. barely usable? RT @MickyFin: London gets free Wi-Fi: Sky opens The Cloud in the Square Mile http://bit.ly/fJVs24
So annoying. feel sorry for this guy .SQL injection a real concern tho. RT @AirlineIndustry: IMPORTANT NOTICE http://bit.ly/eygFzW
@draml does anyone use them, at least for music?
RT @wilshipley: Best part about Fox News not being able to find Egypt on a map is the apologist comments from idiots after:

http://m.pl ...
@wilshipley Wow. That's a tad poor....
@MickyFin Well with the acquisition by sky anythings possible. not short of £££ and getting ready for olympics perhaps.
@sxa555 tho if I wanted to sit down for 15 mins to look on a map etc I'd probably just grab a starbucks...
@OzoneVibe Ah yes sorry I did - hard at work this morning :-) thx. will probably take a raincheck tho
@sxa555 http://bit.ly/hHynSp ....
Looks like the disk light on my laptop has one mode - ON. #sinkingintreacle
documents, formats & office software driving me *bonkers*. Should go back to java/sql - easier ....
I wonder if I should order a punchbag on expenses
<screams on twitter and flops face on keyboard>
<taking deep breaths>
@sxa555 "The selected file does not appear to be a valid Microsoft PowerPoint file. It might be a file created by a different program."
Maybe I should order some transparent sheets and some permanent ink pens....
Good! "...received ..recent.. We will respond to your query within 4 hours or we will re-direct your enquiry to the appropriate department."
Does anyone know who the "travel trust association" is. I can see on google but am receiving bank related info from them. ideas?
@KerryCherries @stevemartinross thanks - looks like an error related to someone else with same name. think it will get sorted now
@KerryCherries @stevemartinross was worried initially - identify theft etc, not a bank issue nor tta -- another travel co's error.
Grr. I cringe everytime I hear the term "town hall" meeting. grrr/gut wrenching. It's not. It's a conference call. Just me? British cynicism
It's perhaps an irrational response, but some of these terms just grind really badly on me @OzoneVibe
@AndyBold I refuse to acknowledge the term. Is this an american term ? is it in common british parlance?
@thecheekycritic homemadepizza=good. Fairly good TG this week. won't say more.
home now, time to cook dinner. wierd, not-overly-productive day :-(
decided to delay some email responses until tomorrow to get other work done. won't be able to push back further. there goes tomorrow am...
lovely sausage/veg dinner.
@LauraLeslie23 I think you're right. It's a very different environment, more liberating, but also hopefully confidence building too...
@LauraLeslie23 btw if it helps you don't come across like that here :-)
@rodet have always had them installed too... then there's the whole freetype/algorithm/patent discussion
so how did the #f1 launches go today #toobusy
@LauraLeslie23 though it's not really private (personally aren't a fan of it), but if it makes you feel better or reduces spam ...
@LauraLeslie23 I think you should do whatever makes you more comfortable, but have to assume anything you write could be public here...
@LauraLeslie23 the only "safe" way really.
RT @ewilko: "I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see." Duane Michals #photography
@ewilko very cool quote :-)
very slow browsing on this pc tonight. net issue or just pc. best do a test........
@Jodie_kemp New month in a few hours though... longer days, brighter/more sun .... @SRT40
