@SarahAnnGreen then it's nearly (720p) as good as sky etc (I have iplayer integrated into tv & bluray.. and we now have bt infinity)
freshly cooked bread, freshly ground coffee & made into espresso. Still feel tired and first day back at work...
I have *lots* of spam on my work email - a little post-holiday clearout over coffee whilst drying the tears ;-)
@unkn0wnvariable quite a lot of spam -- I like doing a first pass filter of spam/auto/easy emails before heading in ;-)
@unkn0wnvariable We have spam filtering too -- generally things are fairly clean, but every now/then a batch comes through ...
@unkn0wnvariable So of course it's server side -- but I also have a 2nd layer client-side, though it's on my laptop (in for repair..)
Sensible a questionairre I'd seen mooted as requiring 60 mins is now targetting more like 15. More likely to get returns!
@thomsonholidays Just had enjoyable pkg hold to tenerife. Plea - please allow surbeys to be done online on ret. paper tedius/known info
@thomsonholidays so much of info is already KNOWN by you.. I did add comment to form, I know info is important
Why does an email to an international audience use US date format without clarifying. Ambiguous.
@SarahAnnGreen :-( If you get 5Mbps+ currently iplayer HD should be ok (single user). It's about 3.2 Mbps I think.
@SarahAnnGreen I had 4 Mbps before and with overheads etc it was "marginal" (ie not really working)
@btcare are there known issues with speedtester.bt.com (for infinity FTTC test). Failing yesterday/today (not sure week b4 that)
@OzoneVibe Personally I prefer YYYYMMDD format in international emails -- I think it's clearer/less ambiguous
@OzoneVibe In words works, but is english of course...
@jtonline Sometimes it's difficult to detect whether sarcasm is present. Maybe it's just my nature to assume?
@OzoneVibe Try @vodafoneuk or the vodafone forums faults board?
@racheeroo01 hopefully in the "expected" kind of way...
@Alexandra_1608 10! lucky you... I wish.
just signed up to education call I thought was at 2pm. Oops it's 2am. I think not. Declining the offer ;-)
@OzoneVibe Just seeing a suggested report that vodafone is down for some ppl? - seems ok for me here now (but just gone online as at home)
RT @lauramohess: Nightmare for vodafone users this morning. The future is defo orange!!!
So are there big @vodafoneuk issues - nothing on faults board but suggests could be more than localized
@OzoneVibe Always UTC YYYYMMDDHHMMSS ..... etc or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
indeed. they need a flu vaccine .. RT @OzoneVibe: @planetf1 Perhaps Twitter have taken over the running of Voda? ;-) @VodafoneUK
Had a great (honest) 1 3/4 hours on post-vacation work catchup. Time for some breakfast now I think...
@OzoneVibe maybe they're catching up with all my holiday tweets?
HLR issue? RT @TinaLMartin: RT @maffff: @JordanNorr1s Vodafone for those in Surrey, Hants and Berkshire. Server in Basingstoke is fucked.
RT @PapercraftsTV: Please note #Vodafoneuk issue with #Vodafone network is not area specific affecting 3.2 million UK numbers, not an area.
Big #fail from @vodafoneuk if there's a widespread fault and no statement on website/eforum etc. Need to communicate.
@maffff the thing where your customer info is stored in the network ("home") which is why only some voda customers affected. yours is bust?
@vodafoneuk 2 handsets on data traveller. ONe had "nearly used up" SMSs (we kept under), other didnt (but went over). Unhappy. @xplane0202
@VodafoneUK So not unreasonable as both on same contract/same DT /same location to carry on using 2nd - should not be charged 20 @xplane0202
@vodafoneuk Can you share any info about current outages. Looks more than localized/a few/mast -- HLR outage? (I am ok, some friends arent)
RT @Hedgewytch: RT @tomwarren: Major Vodafone outage at their Basingstoke Data Centre - down for a large majority of people. Ouch.
RT @ruskin147: Vodafone tell me there is a "situation" with their network, promising a statement soon
@vodafoneuk usability concern - are there mobile (lite) versions of a) ac management/billing b) eforum. if not should be
Lack of info facebook/twitter from @vodafoneuk on current outages v.poor. Orgs should be connected up support/mkting for SM. @mjserres
with @threeuk 2003-2010 I never noticed a widespread outage/HLR. yet voda/orange/tmob/o2 have had wide issues. thoughts?
of course I left @threeuk to go to @vodafoneuk due to signal (for my circumstances was, and still is, right choice/no regrets)
@OzoneVibe good to hear. ok then so my main criticism isn't the outage, it's lack of communication on twitter/facebook/web . Outage 8.5hrs?
@motorracinghosp nope, they used to. now do use orange a little, though 3g nets tmob/3 merged now http://bit.ly/hiWrxo
@ThreeUK more general I guess. I think lesson from voda isn't so much outages but expectation that Communication is crucial inc social media
@ThreeUK and that support/sales/marketing are all represented. maybe tweet/sentiment analysis too to detect/respond to concerns
RT @TinaLMartin: @maffff @planetf1 @JordanNorr1s my friend just said the Basingstoke Office was broken into and equipment stolen which s ...
@TinaLMartin makes sense. A test of their disaster recovery process. @maffff @JordanNorr1s
RT @scotiasystems: @Moloney92 Update on #Vodafone UK Network Outage : http://goo.gl/XMeuS
@TomWright1991 no 3 of us here (2 ported nums, 3rd recent) all ok but know quite a few ppl affected
Lovely day back. Expired passwords. Heating broken.. Just hoping laptop is fixed from its repair...
@mjserres generally v is good. But am dissapointed at their slow pickup of the issue and lack of use of SM to communicate
Yay. Laptop now seems to manage 130 lux up from 60 before repair.new lcd panel. Not led 300+ but should be good enough #win #w500
@ruskin147 May also be worth asking why it took them 8.5 (?) hours for a lightweight post on forum. Nothing on twitter/facebook/website
@ruskin147 IMO the #vodafone fail here isn't just the outage, but also the lack of social media use
@jtonline the word "over-engineered" comes to mind
Just as well @vodafoneuk *is* working fine *for me* since work wifi isn't...
kicking myself for putting up with my original laptop display for so long. this replacement (panel) is a lot better whiter/brigher
@xplane0202 mobile data working here/for my account. Just as well (wifi down). Not chased up roaming. figured voda could be busy...
@xplane0202 try forcing 2g? (that helped @ozonevibe with no signal issue)
@riveerrrrssss Currently in Hursley. Number was ported-in from three in December. Also a orange-ported 1.5 yr & 3rd a new contract.
@OzoneVibe interesting if just the reset did it/or just started working. Could switch to 2+3 to retry. But may prefer to just leave now!
@OzoneVibe good thought!
@OzoneVibe sent a DM instead!
Just listened (as many times before) to "lost without your love" by @missamypearson - rather like it - those notes shouldn't be allowed.
@etherealtype Sun a nice thought. Bit :-( though. Prescription of water+SS ?
@sxa555 it's not unique to iphone, just seems more so (user intelligence). Oops. shouldn't have said that
@rachelclarkef1 Surprisingly beds at our hotel in temerife appeared to be height adjustable (like hospital).Didn't try but seemed a surprise
RT @MorganF1: One day I really am going to have to ask a young man how jeans stay up when the belt is lower than the buttocks #againstth ...
RT @Jamesallenonf1: #f1 New blog started up by wife of someone who works in F1 on what it's like - http://bit.ly/hb1TKO #fb
@sxa555 I've been tempted by nexus-s, but not jumped yet. Like idea of android, but By end year will see. WM7+Nokia could be strong
@vodafoneuk He is my data traveller issue I mentioned earlier http://bit.ly/hHajvp Not heard a twitter reply but figured U might be busy ;-)
@sebmatthews and the headline just says "thousands loose service"....
oh laptop or net issue. google, bbc all v.slow loading . oops
I am terrible. firmware update available for samsung tv, so it had to be done...
So is vodafone working for everyone now?
Yummy fresh (well supermarket!) tuna steak+veg for dinner tonight. Simple but yummy!
@paulbackhouse And how is infinity?
@hunni_h :-( not good. at least ok otherwise.. still very annoying/frustrating/scary though
@paulbackhouse I was unclear whether it was regional or subscriber based - sounds like you had some issues. could have been a mix
@paulbackhouse May be worth checking on speedtester.bt.com -- though that hasn't been working for me. Not noticed slowdowns tho away last wk
@SarahAnnGreen @SRT40 http://bit.ly/hiWrxo might be useful ?
@ananyah why do ppl keep getting virus's - need their heads banging together?
@vickiblatchley red as in hair dye?
@SRT40 To clarify too, 3 had their own 3G network, now own 50% of MBNL. Other 50% partner was Tmob, now tmob/orange merged @SarahAnnGreen
@SRT40 @jayegan @SarahAnnGreen had mifi on loan from 3 for few wk Brilliant if coverage ok. http://bit.ly/a3wgJM http://bit.ly/9CtLbR
@ananyah do the users you support have AV installed?
@kayels are they maintained correctly. At our david lloyd many don't work properly esp the ipod dock connectors @SarahAnnGreen
@FreshPlastic If they had talked about their problems more then perhaps. back very little use of SM until post-midday. not good enough
@ananyah what! sounds very messy ... why so? you need to get them in straitjackets
@SRT40 I do use that too - have done for quite a few years symbian/android/maemo, though I did think the mifi was a very easy to use device
@paulbackhouse when the engineer did my install he said demand was v.high to a point there was possible capacity concern (in the fttc cabs)
@mjserres you saw @_pocketdynamo was tweeting about going to the same event? ....
@kayels ah i see. Dl is pretty good/clean/nice kit. But they're not really up on tech side. No twitter, no sms/email notification of
@kayels cancelations, have wifi but always broken etc
@kayels any email usually takes 1-2 weeks to get response. Ok not huge issue but poor show/sloppy these days
@OzoneVibe ah yes i responded to maria's tweet too. Looks like she is there too @_pocketdynamo
@kayels would be good too if they had spotify or lastfm and iplayer... ! Ok enuf.

@macahan2000 tah
I just unlocked the "Crunked" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/hZ7hEI
On the bright side m25 m3 should be clear...

House very cold and no hot water....(yet)
Smoke alarm beeping. Aarrgh
smoke alarm fixed - only issue now, awake after journey home. need to wind down before sleep
@McLaren_Fan thanks. usually takes me an hour...
finally time for sleep. only 0530 :-(
last asleep, first up after long travel.. but nice to have my own gaggia. Best coffee BY FAR #fb
@sarahloumillie i have to pay for hols today - chores, shopping I think...
very impresed with android 2.3.3/nexus s some annoyances with n900 but gr8 in many ways. Think should wait and see nokia/wm7 vs android #fb
@NeilBaileyF1 have been pleasantly surprised with BT, but did choose top-whack infinity option 2 for max speed
@NeilBaileyF1 was on O2 before. 4/1 -- now about 34/8
Is there any news on a "fix" for the scrolling issue in @chromedeck ?
@emmastonier +1 - I ended up on UE46c6620. Go bigger than you think. look in shops, cheaper online to buy tho. @rachelclarkef1
@emmastonier loads of models. I liked colour/clarity of samsung LEDs. integrated iplayer useful. sony internet good too @rachelclarkef1
@suziedre it's frustrating but should be worth it. gr8 season coming up :-)
@franzseabrook started hear a few miles north of soton
@NeilBaileyF1 :-(
@iainduncani LIKE!
@noelrooney so do many ppl it seems...
I really need to b) convert current FOLLOWS to a NEW LIST b) convert a LIST to my FOLLOWS - Ideas? (write some code...?) #fb
Ok - twitter account now unprotected again. Feel free also to send friend request to http://on.fb.me/cutZAH THO they will be vetted!
ANy lastfm friends add me on http://bit.ly/bSK5ii - at least if your musical tastes are reasonable ;-)
They are good! RT @geraintwjones: @noelrooney You've obviously never experienced real welsh cakes. :-)
And in other news the @btcare speedtest speedtester.bt.com appears down again (unable to run fttc test) - happening lots in last 2 weeks?
@Dr_Black That's the thing with being back from holiday. No restaurant/bar to satisfy. Will have to be asda etc instead :-(
The joys of that first post-holiday-emptied-cupboards-and-fridge-before-going supermarket shop. Boo hoo
Phew. Shopping/restock done. Eek.
still dealing with post-holiday fallout (tidying, cleaning). impossible and going to give up ....!
thought I'd check work email after holiday. Do you think I can remember my password [hoorah ;-) ]
@vixisabel just reading about this (tg recording). Um. not sure what to expect. Don't think it's good...
@Chl0w am really looking forward to it too. so much teasing!
@SarahBolwell now that looks rather scrummy! Quite fancy a virtual spoon of it!
@jtonline go for reliable brand, not too big, (I use 8's for 12MP raws) format every time...
@perrins @oldmanuk also fresh popcorn (with no toppings) is *healthy* unlike supermarket toffee/salted popcorn...
@LauraLeslie23 oh have been there....!
@gci_ls "jug"? Do you like espresso based drinks - for me I much prefer the flavour to brewed coffee..
I really need to b) convert current FOLLOWS to a NEW LIST b) convert a LIST to my FOLLOWS - Ideas? (write some code...?)

@oldmanuk tee hee --I quite enjoy listening to some of her music from time to time -- varied tastes. Though lissie one of my favs for now..
@EmpireSteve eh? I did repost a couple of entries from earlier, is that what you were referring to?
@EmpireSteve do you think it was spammy? I was just looking for any advice on good management tools. My "follow"s are too numerous - 1100+
@EmpireSteve and unmanageable. So treating that as a list and only really following the core (currently my "top-tweeps" list) may be better
@EmpireSteve I can follow lists on mobile client - indeed that is what I did on holiday, just conscious I've gone OTT it follows IMO
Posted an email to @hantslibraries - seems my account isn't authorized to renew my loans online? strange...
@EmpireSteve ah I see - in terms of any bulk ops
@noelrooney am enjoying it (though not seen last weeks yet as away. hopefully tonight). you?
@icicle_halo_ just some non-linear thinking #quickexcuse
still can't remember work email pw (version 1) and web access down (password B)., oh better watch some TV and hope it comes to me tonight
yay, work email password remembered...
So my laptop is back from repair. wonder if the screeen is now usable.... so will go into office. Can I face gym first....
Should try to force myself to go to sleep b4 midnight. Could be tricky after 0530 last night #iblameholiday

@OzoneVibe @_pocketdynamo Interesting! Obviously @tuesdaytweetup is becoming legendary
@_pocketdynamo Oh dear watch out..
@OzoneVibe A perfect welcome home then for tomorrow no doubt
@etherealtype what kind of ingredients? Right beans? Flour? (my favs are limes and chilli...)
@OzoneVibe true tho a palm tree for the garden is apparently on the wish list
@anotherproblem oops..
Must try playing with #nexuss more. Some things about #n900 annoying me (tho love keyboard, multitasking,audio,build quality,flexibility)
Must try playing with #nexuss more. Some things about #n900 annoying me (tho love keyboard, multitasking,audio,build quality,flexibility)
Main issue is decent apps esp fb/twitter. #twimgo not bad but not a patch on tweetdeck. Wonder what price diff is. Tho may wait end 2011
Last day in sun. Done some reading. Off to check local market shortly. Coach pickup for airport not until 1740 ...
@etherealtype is a lot of the authentic food v. Dry compared to what we see in uk. Beef sounds nice. Less sure about eggs.
@etherealtype only been to mexico once and it was a large hotel/holiday island (cozumel). Should do again tho enjoy cruise.
@LukaSambuca certainly 10 yrs ago i was surprised how little vegetarian options there were (i am not a v) a little better now?
@LukaSambuca not overweight?
Indeed @xplane0202
@xspyda no but son does.
@noelrooney i think i will have to pay for it soon. Normal whinging will return shortly...
@OzoneVibe @_pocketdynamo am game too for a briefer visit if dates/times work but dont hold out for me!
@OzoneVibe oh yes just opposite holyrood. Has red canopy on rear. Fancy doorbells on front. @_pocketdynamo @icicle_halo_
my fault? !! RT @etherealtype Oh dear, I now have a major craving for machaca con huevos. Want. Right now.
One #n900 phone battery lasts 10mins browsing (dud). Another is at 73% after 20 mins use
@xspyda Looks v. Impressive generally. Os/screen/perf/raw android+updates.But some deficiencies. Mem slot/build mostly. Logical step is wait
@whizkidd its just a dudd. Think it may have been a dodgy purchase (copy or faulty). Failed after 3 months but didnt chase up.
@_pocketdynamo and we can act as your digital tv consultants over a beer! @OzoneVibe @icicle_halo_
@etherealtype we did have nice salsas last night. Have to do some more reading..!
@_pocketdynamo Eek. Bit late for moonpig?
Girls+shopping=long long time....
@etherealtype by remains u mean there always is some.... Or that its untouched (not in our case)
@etherealtype english too. All love sauces...
Last day on tenerife... http://pi.pe/-dvgo0d
@Queen_of_Snarks oh u nasty thing !
@Bazz747 true tho in this case market stalls so cash
@debs_70 thanks! Most packing done. Time for last sunny hour..
@MorganF1 so looking forward to that.. Not!
@anotherproblem many yrs ago was in sports bar, san jose ca. Friend left wallet on games machine. Cash. Got back 45 mins l8r. Still there!
@LukaSambuca From that tweet only sounds like crash protection material
@debs_70 not seen any rain this week. Miss it.. Err not really...
Right time for some quick sun.. L8r.
En route to airport. Boo hoo. #goinghome
Am guessing costa or other coffee outlet in gatwick north arrivals isn't open at 1am #willneedacoffee
@sxa555 have u seen autoaid. Its pay/claim back but cheap. Recommended on mse
55 mins hotel-gate not bad in a ushered modicum of madness. Still over an hour until boarding
@gci_ls oh thanks. Goodie. Usually grab a cuppa before driving home even though it could be worse than 1am or further than 1.5 hrs
@OzoneVibe Am out of date with the libyan news.
Departure screen at airport gate is happily informing me lgw is 8 C cloudy/sunshine
@honeybee85 hang on surely you shouldnt be allowed choc digestives at the gym...
@honeybee85 i can count #times i've had a beer at our gym on one hand in as many years. Doesnt seem right! And they may be watching
hope maemo performance better. B4 unusable imo RT @bvlad Final Firefox 4 beta released, add-ons still languishing http://b.vlad.im/eEUL7D.
So americanos i've had here (airport,hotel) have just been made long. Ie not stopped at espresso and topped up with hot. (uk,better) #coffee
Definition of 'taking the piss'. 75cl water in tenerife s airport (captive). €2.95
@OzoneVibe at least in gatwick its a reasonable £1. I know can get free water on plane but always take bottle to have anytime.
@OzoneVibe given u cant take liq thru security its a captive market
Bad news. Late boarding. Good news. The plane is here
@OzoneVibe Should have prob tried beer. Most of the time here its half the price of soft drinks!
@xplane0202 Fortunately are not using them..
@jonchoo back home from the sun in tenerife -->lgw
@OzoneVibe water v. Cheap in supermarket. Like 6l for 1€
#shoping #fail just seen vending mc has 50cl water for €1.40 grr
@jonchoo yes a week thx. Very nice
Not that i'm obsessed about always getting the best deal ;-)
@mchunt74 Must make mental note for next time.
On plane. Uk in 4-5 hrs . Ttfn

@sxa555 Oh err. Same version that was manual a few weeks ago or new? Any sign of 4od/itv i wonder... Taking ages!
@hunni_h Annoying isn't. Check for anything in system tray? Command line windows/explorer accessing that directory
@jon_read are the ladies admiring you kit? Seriously tho am sure its intriguing
@hunni_h In english its a pain and sometimes easier to reboot....
Gre looks like an #n900 update (community ssu?) has got #opera #mini crashing all the time. Bother
@hunni_h i used to use desktop td all the time. Chromedeck scrolling a pain, but for last few months been using seesmic desktop 2. Like lots
@mjserres i really like the idea of giffgaff. Unfortunately signal precluded my participation but good idea @chrisgreen
Pretty sure i cannot make the @tuesdaytweetup 1st sat march. Forgot have friends dinner party.... Have to catch up with u guys in april...
@neicey boo hoo. Annoying.
@OzoneVibe suspect it wont work sadly. Will confirm next week @xplane0202

Off to mount teide this morning
Free internet at 3514m up nt heide...
@SarahAnnGreen Sadly paths all closed due to snow/ice... At summit at least
Teide http://pi.pe/-aqfp9j
So much for needing warm clothes. Feels baking now!
@macie_sherwood good to know theres honourable people about!
@SarahAnnGreen so today our visit was brief. Did u do lots of walking in the national park. Would like to return some day.
Teide http://pi.pe/-98s847
@sxa555 at work? @ThreeUK
RT @mjserres: "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted" Einstein
Oh dear. Opera mini keeps crashing on facebook.
@sxa555 dont mean to disparage three but my switch to voda was a v.good move for my circumstances. Not perfect but i should have done b4
@Kateroon hope the job hunting is going well. Sounds like you are finding it enjoyable regardless. @noelrooney
@_pocketdynamo check moneysavingexpert guide. Try comparison sites. Check annual mileage/excesses. Quidco for cashback @TGIC_Grimple
@jon_read not really other than ticking boxes/not share number. Could use fancy asterisk setup for filtering and make whitelist if # present
@jon_read i usually just dont answer unless known number.. Or block calls with no number (for any reason)
Lovely day in tenerife. Visited mount teide then relax by pool. Dinner next. A nice break #fb
@Sulman do u work at soton uni then?
Starting to suffer from too much hotel food. Think its time to become a rabbit.
@icicle_halo_ :-( best to get it checked. Hope u can relax rest of day. Happy birthday (again!)
@Alexandra_1608 i do too. Its the addition of the other stuff thats a fail!

@pj_kent indeed thanks
@Inacurate think it will be full steam ahead and some decent things comung up. Really long term.. Not so sure.
@etherealtype :-( better now? I go for salmon when unwell. Hotel here has s/s for breakfast and dinner :-)
@pj_kent Anoyingly in the panic earlier we couldnt find the water valves. Know where they are now for next time (no!)
@Autogpcouk random? Cold/wet? Guess can be variable but been consistent last few days. Cloud/18 1st thing. Over 20 mis am. Peaking at 24
@Walkerooo you really have a tough job there... Bet you're gutted...
Looks as if allowing auto gsm time update in tenerife is a bad idea. Getting time wrong on android and maemo. Bad cell config?
@neicey you're on top form today.. @Walkerooo
Silly sw updates deciding to use 3/5 of my daily allowance.. Grr. Disabled now.
@Autogpcouk That rain sounds serious. We had v. Heavy rain in mexico a few years ago but right at end of hols in evening. Torrential.
@angryjedi i quite often block those with blocked numbers....
@honeybee85 oh sounds exciting. Glad to hear it went well (whatever it was!)
@jtonline generally been fairly good. At&t prior to 8.2 and sep without latest fixes were huge bsod'ers
@jtonline u could install debugger from ddk and symbols to identify cause. Nirsoft bluesvreen view is useful for summary level info
Headache/sun = more fluids. So (burp) bang goes a litre of lemon fanta
Finding the #kindle to be a great holiday companion. Screen so easy to read and brillant in bright tenerife sunshine.
Rather enjoying 'girl with the dragon tatoo'. More guesome than expected,cant see film capturing half of it. Eager to read sequels. 67% thru
Should probably get up from sunlounger to change/head for tinner. Starting to get chilly now (19-20 perhaps...)
@sxa555 woohay. Win there
@EmpireSteve @opensourcerer similar feelings all around then. I have books 2/3 already on kindle !
@honeybee85 am sure you'll get there. Very determined. Have fun!
@mjserres Never heard of it. Most non-native english speakers i've come across have such great english anyway. (tho written more so i guess)
@mjserres can't be long before the biggest english speaking population in the world is china...
@shellk1984 and was the onhold music also distorted/poor quality. That annoys me too.
@noelrooney as long as not in the context of cost savings should be good news!
@ratlet Whilst i am only 2/3 thru #1 i cant se the story being as real without the orrible bits...
@shellk1984 doesnt give a good impression. Have same issues with audio conferencing services
Rest of family gone to change. Going to give up on sun now... Its going to bed. Brrr.
@racheeroo01 first time we have done a winter hol tho
@Autogpcouk nope not sure about any races this year. Family money spent on hols...
@macahan2000 agreeing with the universal praise
@Nickyhants ? Were you referring to lady gaga's pot3ntial protoge? @DanielleMay1 @lauradownton @galactic @mikulaja
All very bright in here. Relaxing after dinner... http://pi.pe/-u9zn9g
@incapete Its my first book on kindle too. Finding it very easy to read/use even in glaring sunshine. And very light/easy to hold.
@macahan2000 yes its the intrigue.. Tho i have further to go.
Nearly at 20Mb. Time to take care. Especially bad when 3g seems so fast here. Great coverage even inside large building
@nnubeh :-(
@little_jodieF1 :-) goes best with a curry..
@OzoneVibe Indeed..! Interesting earthquake tweets btw. Saw the destruction on news @mjserres
Hotel resident entertainers doing a rendition of bep 'I've got a feeling'. No #xfactor wins but they gave it a decent crack..
@Nickyhants @DanielleMay1 thanks.. Will have to listen when home (roaming data £££) but always like listening to new music/artists
@OzoneVibe Eek. It sounds tough there. A friend i used to work with was up twin towers 1 or 2 days (wedding anniv) before they were no more
@pj_kent i do usually, but having even limited mobile data (google/twitter/email) is v. Useful as can be done with no effort
@Nickyhants yes good hol thanks.. And extra attention for being local! @DanielleMay1
@OzoneVibe scary correleation?
Sticking with twitter lists is so much more manageable than my full following list...
Off to mt teide tomorrow. 2 deg.C up there. No permission for last 200m/summit (restricted numbers). Another time. Cable car close tho hope.
@macie_sherwood oh brill a. They were liked b. You were asked #win
@Soggous Forcast is 2C so could be tshirt+fleece+jacket! Or 3 layers anyway. Did you do cable car? P.ath to summit?
Embarrasing. Just got my certificate for winning pistol shooting today so watch out!
@mjserres I wont say how many people did it but wasnt many.. And just air pistol. Fun tho.

@_pocketdynamo so freesat or freeview means no subs tho you will want to get a pvr box... Or just get a tuner and use catchup
@_pocketdynamo services over broadband (but get a service with decent limt)
@Inacurate yep n8 is a league ahead for that no q. In one way thats why wm7 become an option ... Nokia cameras.
@paulbackhouse Yay! Storming. Dont use up all cf's b/width!
@mike_griffin_f1 tenerife
@icicle_halo_ @_pocketdynamo yep everyone i know with humax sat or terrestial likes them. Best brand it seems. Parent still have old one
@honeybee85 Well of course everyone is special in their own way.. (well some are orrile lets skip that)
Oh the jobs of sunbed allocation....
A tough problem to have.
@caronmlindsay will be back. half term. Missing aus gp live (late sun eve). Could be first. And monaco (not until wed). Aarghh @Petronella
@Inacurate nokia strength. Iphone benefits from lots of sw. Latest samsungs android better but still lacking. Nokia+wm7+photos interesting
@Petronella yep nice. First time i have ever taken a winter holiday. Usually enjoy more sights/activities. This week is a lazy holiday tho
@caronmlindsay silly me misread your tweet. @Petronella yes u may not miss a race. Cannot see it happening
@timskipper Lists. Notifications. Offline/async/queuing. Link shorteners. Power/net efficiency
@hapit ice cream cocktails? Never tried... Sounds sickly!
@caronmlindsay indeed i am. Rest of family in bed. Bit chilly at mo (about 19) @petronella
@caronmlindsay @petronella if in europe and on @vodafoneuk the new 'data traveller' is wicked. Allows affordable sunbed tweeting. 25mb/day
@caronmlindsay only add 2 to get the temp yesterday here. Oh. I mean in front @petronella
@melissa_RBRx Oops def a #holidayfail . The second one was still being awake to tweet about it
Ok. Best get some reading done and save data for later.? Ttfn
@VodafoneUK np. First time i have ever used data abroad. value cf other nets. Great idea. Will miss if visint us/asia though (not this year)
@Petronella will miss aus as will be on a short cruise and wont get away with watching tv for most of ours ship in port.. @caronmlindsay
@Petronella free wifi good. Hotel here has limited coverage (lobby) and think 10/day @O2 @caronmlindsay
@Brownie1871 pricey for just occasional use. Free good. Some free wifi along beach but unreliable here. @Petronella @o2 @caronmlindsay
@paulbackhouse @xplane0202 yay! Should be good. And let the streaming commence. We've been very pleased. Did you get hh3 (little one) ?
@vixisabel i seem to remember at silverstone last year that whenever i went the queues seemed similar - so i guess they'd 'sized' better
@OzoneVibe possibly a good sign that nothing worse in the news..? Tho seems more like an echo job
@jtonline oh i do sympathise james (and thinking.. Lucky escape...)
@Walkerooo @neicey coke is the worst. Actually pepsi max is probably.
Was going to post a status but best not as it might wind ppl up. It would have involved beer, sunshine and water but i'll give it a miss
@paulbackhouse sounds like a dodgy speed tester as max should be 40/10 ! (even the fibre to home is only 110) but its fast.. @xplane0202
@jtonline well escaped the girls at the pool to nip out for a quiet sit in shade! Blame voda for making the tweeting affordable.
@paulbackhouse Really good news its hh3. Older hh2 was cr*p for wifi, new one works nicely @xplane0202
@paulbackhouse we are about 480m and ended up on around 34/8 sync(profile). Not sure vdsl modem has resynced. Was going to @xplane0202
@paulbackhouse reset to see if it made a diff. But still about 8-10 times faster than before @xplane0202
@jtonline yeah maybe a tad insensitive
@OzoneVibe nope. Just paid 10 (per month but just doing for one) each for 25Mb/day on voda @xplane0202
@OzoneVibe limited countries. They also do £2/day @xplane0202
Lovely walk along the coast to la caleta. Really is v. Nice around here!
@OzoneVibe i think voda do it on pricey contract 40+. Still better than 3 who have no package.
@Chl0w Ohheerr just catching up (on hols). So decided then. Makes total sense and was expected.. Shame but right roll on aus
@EmmaGx yikes serious. Seems to be rather too much instability in the region..
@Soggous did u see that girl that gaga mentioned. She was actually rather good.
@Soggous will be in my youtube favourites/music playlist user planetf1a i think!
Little stop off from walk for an ice cold beer http://pi.pe/-ng1yuk
@Soggous prob best. Dare not visit youtube (roaming data limit) !
So does anyone else think this double summertime is silly. Personally the whole summertime thing is a pita.
@Soggous Maria aragon
@Soggous ah that happens with us too rarely. Do try....
@jtonline lol
@_pocketdynamo i'd be more worried about those that use her...
Bathroom flooded. Had to run to reception.. Aarrghh http://pi.pe/-fm0msj
Well that was fun. Leak managed to stay in bathroom thanks to towels. Some flexi piping being replaced. Maid cleaned up. #excitement
Well that was fun. Leak managed to stay in bathroom thanks to towels. Some flexi piping being replaced. Maid cleaned up. #excitement
@etherealtype somewhat amusing It happens actally got here quick once we got thru. They're replacing some pipes now. Want shower/dinner now!
@F1Ellen no idea tho it was fresh cold water fortunately. Broken inlet pipe it seems
And all sorted cleaned/repaired. Now where were we.
@pj_kent it was after maintanance had switched the water off! Not during!

Pretty quiet here http://pi.pe/-d478fi
Seems lovely round here. So sleepy now tho
@OzoneVibe Embarrasingly kate booked it and i have done no research at all!
@pj_kent eek. Sorry...!
@noelrooney why line dancing?
@OzoneVibe nope just about midnight now
@OzoneVibe hah. Quiet now and girls have crashed out. Been a long day..
@anotherproblem @mike_griffin_f1 it came about from rotary dial times as the 9 could be located easily in dark.
@anotherproblem @mike_griffin_f1 also safer than 112 as clicks could cause accidental wiring in old analogue/strowger mech exchange days
@noelrooney ha ha ha @ozonvibe...
@_pocketdynamo U certainly do seem to find some odd programs!
RT @angryjedi: played Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 (XBLA) in the last 24 hours. http://raptr.com/angryjedi
My view (yawn) http://pi.pe/-wlw5b1
@OzoneVibe yeah very tough
@evoGage not measured it but official temp is 21 i think. Feels positively hot in sun tho so plenty enough for me
@Sandanista just a small freebie glass (yummy). Typical hotel drinks prices. By price/volume beer is clearly the cheapest
Not hugs amount of photo taking this hol but trying to take some shots this am reminded me i def need a longer travel lens. Maybe a 18-270
@iMismii so @walkerooo can no doubt tell u all about the juke as she loves it (and has one)
@iMismii what? Surely u just need to get a data bundle. Bad not to... (loving vodas data traveler for europe too) @O2
@MorganF1 ah cute.. And annoying! Could be useful for shredding crispy duck. Nope. Would eat!
@Inacurate although a little plasticky my sons nexus s is rather nice tho ££ screen pretty good in sun too (my n900 isnt)
Not my idea but something for everyone http://pi.pe/-5wv0mj
That will do for 1630 ! http://pi.pe/-otntdw
Lovely walk along the coast. Georgous sunshine. Stopped for a cold beer..
The nexus-s is a LOT better than my barely visible #n900 in the son @xplane0202
@littlecough well the pooches are with a friend so possible! But they are getting more popular. Missing them tho :-(
@OzoneVibe indeed. Deserve it after a walk. Missed hotel happy hour but any bar outside is pr9bb half the price anyway!
One screen that does work really well in the sun - kindle of course. So no probs book reading earlier
@OzoneVibe now i do like that thought process!
@littlecough Nope. Dont think so...
@Walkerooo now why does it not surprise me that you have to be in control (runs away) @iMismii
@iMismii @Walkerooo i'm seriously intrigued by the 2012 focus electric.... Something different.
@iMismii @walkerooo we have 2 cars. One could easily be ev/save money. Company car tax is also 0 so could be interest option
@iMismii of course given the choice a tesla would be appealing! @walkerooo
@Sandanista ? Dare not click on too many links (data limits..) @doclorraine
@iMismii appeal of tesla isnt predicated on being an ev. Looks fun anyway but too much £££ @walkerooo
@Inacurate e7/e8 out due to os. Not for me. N900 still good. See how wm7 comes on but android likely. Think nexus s best so far
@_pocketdynamo Freeview pvr? Freesat? Specific content u r after not on reg channels?
@_pocketdynamo bt visions (tho quite limited currently imo)
@sxa555 some of their articles wind me up too. Whole attitude to es for example is just unhelpful (fine to stimulate discussion) @SubaruUK
@anotherproblem What did i miss!
Skipping rest of abba tribute band...

@OzoneVibe woohay. One up from the naga. Now have donna summer in my head 'hot stuff' ...
Sleep is probably a good idea before having to get a plane....
Watching a surprisingly interesting bio of taylor swift.
Think i will switch to my top tweeps list ... Maintimeline too busy these days. But are the most important ppl on it. Probably not.. Yet..
@etherealtype sounds rather intellectual. I would usually but tonight it was american idol (liking steve tyler/jlo/randy) then a bio on e! !
Starting to think. Select all following. Add to list. Unfollow. Select all top tweeps. Follow. Getting too out of control?
Any good tools to move ppl follows- list based on criteria. 1100 so lots to sort
@etherealtype i was so expecting it to be lacking without simon too but great chemistry. Really liking stev tylers music appreciation too
@etherealtype i think its my fav series so far. Wonder what us xfactor will be like..
@Hedgewytch will be on mobile roaming data so need to be selective too even aside from info overload. Will use special list for now
@etherealtype print media more sophisticated? tv more trashy? Opposite way around to our@papers vs tv
Right sleep beckons . Night all...
@etherealtype And of course in tv they have fox for trasg ... (idol excepted) inc. news.
@jonchoo Yep, and personal organization!
updated my top tweeps list. May start trying to use that more intensively and follows less 24x7 could be way to go...
first time I shall be using data abroad (dare to) thanks to voda.. nothing intensive but at least can use when wanted/needed

@unkn0wnvariable been v. happy. "only" a focus but reliable, cheap to service, good to drive -- pleased at my choice
@icicle_halo_ 1 of 9 off. Woohay. Lady of leisure now!
with nokia messaging can I do partial email sync?
the joys of case weighing..
The joys of queues
@little_jodieF1 i always carry a spare battery.. (or use a pack if non replaceable)
@Jayskiclimb exactly. Too much. The voda package is 10/month or 2/day for 25Mb. Not bad.
@OzoneVibe actually works well/reliable on n900 and no real need for ovi suite
@unkn0wnvariable @McLaren_Fan it was easy to replace tho
Prefer to wander around than queue... Oh well nearly there..
'precious' has come up with some excuse again #comeflywithme http://pi.pe/-mr4k6a
@parboo nope not road. Only a checkin q. Boarding soon.
Pretty much time to board..
@etherealtype Thanks. Should be a relaxing week. Trip 7p volcano i expect otherwise just chilling.
@OzoneVibe yep. And no end of movies.
@OzoneVibe phone currently has 32gb internal 8 on card
A nice welcome! Will have some of that later thanks... http://pi.pe/-ygtgts
Slight delay on deplaning. Only 5 mins. Medican priority. Dr call on flight etc but seemingly not too serious. At lest no mad rush off.
@etherealtype I want to do a cruise through fjords some time. Amazing scenery. And alaska
@OzoneVibe Not great. Wasted one batt so far. Half of that was 'pelham 123' on flight. Quite enjoyed it.
@geraintwjones ha ha. No sun yet... About 18 deg now.
@etherealtype oh definately. Alaska is supposed to be good. Like to do panama canal. Oh and fly to nyc back on queen mary.. Sometime.
Wondering how far 25mb will go. Still have only 3.5 hrs left
#n900 #fail its decided its 2135 nope. 1hr out. Silly phone?
Not happy at our fancy carlton 4 wheel case. Used once before and wheel broken (before we even got on plane). Not happy. Under warranty tho.
Def fancy a beer when we get to hotel!
Wohay. Short trip to hotel
Here http://pi.pe/-d92la0
Had to walk miles in hotel to room but as a #win is overlooking beach/promenade/bars
@OzoneVibe tee hee. Not far. Not heard planes yet but can hear a) country music b) waves . Like b best...
@pj_kent my first visit to canaries. Time to freshen up and find another beer. I would vote on beach. Love sound of waves

Actually my favourite idol hollywood week show tonight (uk). #americanidol
@WebBasedWorking yes true, though s/one has to develop the sw in first place, but still would make sense for app srv/db even for dev

@little_jodieF1 13 days back to back sounds v.tough....
@racheeroo01 thanks for the #ff - even if it is from the other side of the solent!
Oops. think I've exceeded my work mail quota again. So if you don't get any email from me you know why....
@pj_kent not big enough (I have 1Gb). Mostly due to ppl sending attachments rather than using other forms of file sharing - easy to detach,
@pj_kent or worse documents with heavy embedded context (in-situ slides/images) that can't easily be "detached"/seperated.
@karatechop74 thanks for the #southampton #ff
@TheAlanJWright thanks for the #ff alan
Last minute work clear out before hols. Realised am trying to do 5 things at once. And it's kinda-working so far (since most are pc working)
@icicle_halo_ @cdncx @fivetv thanks - hopefully it can be a cuddly little puppy rather than a large rottweiler ;-)
Needed to copy some data from home back to work system. So nice to have 1 MBps upload (8 Mbps)

@mjserres have you come across any good list management tools, esp that allow moving follows<->lists and back and handle 1000+
@mjserres I follow too many people - really need to cut down. Most tools seen help with seeing various metrics but mostly follow/unfollow
@noelrooney thanks noel. I should really go pack...
I liked a YouTube video -- Lissie - "In Sleep" Fan Mashup http://youtu.be/G5q3po8v9vQ?a
@etherealtype not exactly :-( on way though. will finish this eve. dogs being dropped off tonight though :-(
@etherealtype not complicated. rest of family on way. just doing a teeny bit or ironing (not like)
@etherealtype I guess you catch planes a fair bit - but lots of shorter trips. guess you have to being out there...
So it looks like #f1 has decided not to make a decision yet about Bahrain GP... see what the w/end brings.
@fakeWebber yes just read it.. not bang up to date sadly - so much going on ...
@TashaDragonfly Agree it should be soon. Monday I can deal with, but if it ends up the end of next week it is dragging it out somewhat
@etherealtype tickets/passport/wallet/phone/charger is basics. underwear/clothes helps ;-)
@fakeWebber you do know I have nothing to do with the website of the same name -- just a fan :-)
@fakeWebber I can see why you might have been confused!

@sxa555 am with rbs. been ok, but a/c being taken over by santander at some point. may then be time to check out alternatives
@icicle_halo_ depends how veggie I guess (ie no "meat"). ..
@icicle_halo_ technical accuracy vs mass usage of the term?
@sxa555 interesting. My grief with them was in part about getting through their security hoops. Umm. double edged...
off to watch a tv prog b4 bed. maybe the one about china...
@sxa555 Most open. Yep best? Hw? Mostly package? Nope. Ecosystem especially. Def niche now. Android/ios/wm7 left @Inacurate
@Inacurate def too hard and no non geeky community (course i have ohe tho)@@sxa555 @katebevan
So any brits watched jeopordy@man vs machine? Cultural divide? Wonder when wins at QI or xfactor
@sxa555 @Inacurate but a lot of innovation is in sw space.. And social. Those areas n900 lacks. Not technical but ecosystem.
@sxa555 and yep nokia+wm7 could... Many peers are dismissing it. I think they are wrong...@Inacurate
@sxa555 @Inacurate its one form factor but think kbd is minority. Some want. Add compass,better camera,thinner,bat life.bigger screen

here we go - another audio conference with distorted & glitchy music -- very poor. Just sounds so tacky and unprofessional
no show. can't take more than 5 mins of that noise.. means I can get something started then grab some lunch...

starting customer presentation. fingers crossed.
always prefer face to face more than telephone but seems to go well enough. questions always more interesting than presentation material

Grr. @vodafoneuk reception in central chandlers ford is very poor . Keep loosing. Outside too. (yes, reported before). Hope see improvement.
@deviljelly @stevecheney Realy. Source?
@paulbackhouse @vodafoneuk Station is fine. but centre Up nr fryern/waitrose poor. 0-2 outside 0-1 1 inside. Patch
Did i just see a tv advert that said unlimited internet fup 2mb/day orange. Surely not. Must have been unlim txts??
@paulbackhouse actually not in waitrose. Even walking across road
@paulbackhouse nice. @OzoneVibe
@stevecheney @deviljelly Interesting. Assume samsung should be ok if they keep some for themselves
taxi duties done, gym done & a super quick dinner...
@mbdrake I thought that odd too. I stayed in as it happened
@mbdrake I initially had the HH2, the HH3 though has been pretty solid. Latest sw should be .48, mine's .45 but no matter. reliable/good n
@mbdrake I don't think I see dhcp6 addr from my HH3 apart from linklocal generated ones. Been too many years (5-10) since I looked at dhcpv6
@iMismii hopefully tweaking your coverage/improving capacity - or could be consolidating sites with tmob/orange
@TeeBeeMee you'll need a "beware of the rabbit" sign. House rabbit?
@TeeBeeMee ah, nice to have animals around the house
@mbdrake i think win 7 will use ipv6 by default for it's home network shareing stuff (homegroup)?
copying a few movies (dvds) to #n900 for hols. Using nero recode. trying "ipod" format first. anyone checked out the options?
Buying a few books before holiday on the kindle is so ridiculously and scarily easy. Just wish all publishes had "fair" prices for ebooks
@Sulman it's variable. much is bad, some are more reasonable ie girl/dragon tattoo £3.89 pb, 2.74 ebook. That's "top dollar" in my book
@Sulman anything more than that is taking the **** for ebooks @lord_sugar 5.99 paperback/amazon 8.63 kindle. BAD! (Excellent book though)
@oldmanuk np, source is dvd image directory, dest is n900. Need to experiment but not really much time to do so!
@anotherproblem Absolutely your last point is spot on. The (bad) publishers are encouraging piracy through punitive pricing
@anotherproblem still glad I got it. some books reasonable, some new writers v.cheap, and freebies. neat device
@Sulman or where ebook is *more*. There is vat issue (applicable on ebooks) but cheap dist and licensed/no resale. min -30% imo of pb retail

Well time to face inevitable close book on 2nite and check.in to place called bed as eyes are 4square. Night @honeybee85 @sxa555 and others
@angryjedi @nnubeh coffee pots? Yuck. Has to be espresso. Us was awful yrs ago now better. Hate breed. Italy then.
@honeybee85 @sxa555 not sure. Off to gym tomorrow. Prob up about 6. Eeekkk.
@nnubeh So out with the cappucino, but still option for decent coffee ( always black here!)
morning. A slight layin (by 30 mins) this morning #treatyourself
Not surprise, and less relevant these days, all about the phone OS now? -> RT @iA: Microsoft kills Zune http://j.mp/ht3Q7i
Increasingly thinking Bahrain GP could be canceled....especially as it's a potential target for protestors? Tho is huge too. um.. #f1
@amandapalmer @hrwildberlin 7,8,10(french),12 in UK too ..
@whizkidd @jainrounak most/all fixed in next rel tho it seems (me? using maemo -> android, but wm7 getting stronger)
RT @arsenio: lookit what I made! Scan your @lastfm @pandora_music @sonicliving or @itunes to find your favorite bands on Twitter. http:/ ...
@honeybee85 wishing it was earlier last night.. bad me this am. 2 hots weren't enough -> 4 (espresso). not good...
@dougedey One reason son went for nexus s - avoid carrier/manufacturer delay. Sounds like WM7 goes for the central push to all devs
@whizkidd I have no personal experience, just watching -- is it any diff in that way to iOS/android etc?
@jamesurquhart intrigued to keep watching your comments, tho sw update multitask coming. Becomes much more signif since Nokia deal
@AdamManning are you watching "outcasts" - makes me think of their whiteouts
@Alexandra_1608 now that's a great idea... if only it could work...
Grr facebook places not working in microb on #n900. Anyone successful checking in? @Sxa555
It finds local place ok. Just checkin that fails to handle coords. Facebook issue? @Sxa555 #Fb
whats the point of opening a helpdesk ticket on web when a) u have to chase b) you have to go thru things again/open new prob #helpdeskfail
Wasted 15 mins on a call that shouldn't even have been needed.
@EmpireSteve Also a moving target.. but agree with @sulman that response will prob be firm.
@VodafoneUK tenerife. warmish I hope.. Keen to not use mob.data too much and read a book instead ;-)
@AdamManning yes.. liking the series.
@OzoneVibe exactly my concern
need to cleanup laptop before repair. Painfully no gigabit network. 100 Mbps is too slow!
all my twitter sms notifications sincebreakfast have just started storming in. some took 3 hrs to arrive vodafone or twitter issue I wonder
@TommyB89 by then no doubt it will be 4 mins, 5 mins, 6 mins away. You're still getting the same # buses/hour, right!
@TweetDeck Hi - how do I change my password for the tweetdeck web site?
@TweetDeck to add... I can login fine, just want to change it (regularly)
@Soggous what bugs me too is ppl speeding through estates etc - they live there, possibly with kids etc.
Now laptop-less. In for screen replacement. Took no time at all to convince support tech there was an issue - black and white
@conradoldcorn Ok, saw that, had assumed there'd be a regular change password and was just missing it.. ok will do that
@welp Hursley? I did a tool about a year ago.. visited the big voids/heating/control systems etc. Fairly industrial. lots down there!
@jtonline eh?
@jtonline and no, I have no laptop any more... well not temporarily
@melissa_RBRx ouch. I'd not be happy either. three used to have a policy of replacement after 3 faults. I'd be expecting a discount. Though
@melissa_RBRx I've had refurbs on a variety of things and generally they've been just as good - sometimes better as tested.
@melissa_RBRx I would chase them and escalate, but cancelling contract is harder - would get legal advice first...
@sxa555 sorry long day. yes tour
@melissa_RBRx what phone was it? what were the problems if you don't mind me asking..
@welp am worried now by @sxa555
@welp it's something you need to arrange with Johnson controls - they'll do it for a group (about 10 I think)
@sxa555 the one - there's loads of stuff down there. somewhat boring mostly heating/ventilation. Some of the spaces are pretty large @welp
@welp @sxa555 no secret tunnel to the kings head it seems -- well maybe only available to the lab director ;-)
@melissa_RBRx ah.. not familiar with it (know of it, and used to use symbian ,not used this one tho)
@melissa_RBRx if you're already on third I think your complaint is very fair. I once had a h/set replaced with diff model by 3 after
@melissa_RBRx there was an unfixable bug... though I think I ended up contacting the "executive" office to escalate the problem
@melissa_RBRx they offered me a slightly newer, equiv handset free, or a more upmarket one for reasonable price (like £50).I went for latter
@melissa_RBRx sounds common http://bit.ly/hdKH2W http://bit.ly/hMSpq3 I would be def pushing @vodafoneuk for a alternative equiv handset
@welp how did IRC come into it (haven't used it in a while)
@sxa555 BTW which "one" "tunnel" did you see?
@melissa_RBRx have you followed up on the vodafone forums too at forum.vodafone.co.uk - may help (or may not!). Good luck...
@welp sounds too nerdy. sticking with lightweight twitter chat ;-) #linux
My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Sarah Connor (33), Michelle Branch (24) & Faith Hill (13) #music http://bit.ly/aC2d2Q
@sxa555 not slating the tech at all ...@welp
@welp would suggest going in a tunnel with @sxa555 is not a good idea
Annoying when u park at kerb on edge of car park then someone goes over their line right close to your car. Grrer
Annoying when u park at edge of car park right close to kerb then someone parks next right over line. Grrr. Its my space!
@GR33NIE exactly what i did - my point was then someone coming on the side with a space...
@GR33NIE funny thing is my car is more than 10yrs old and plenty of pw scratches some from kids cleaning with scouring pads. (no dents tho)
@GR33NIE habits and principles
@ChelleC79 do those parked on kerbs whilst youre at it
@imogenheap love spotify. Have you tried last.fm too. It records played tracks and can listen to others (not just static playlists)
#twimgo seems to have a low limit on how far back in timeline can look. For me its around 4 mins. Aarrgh
@grace_eb if u werent up all last night, yes...
@ChelleC79 i guess we have less space this side of the world...
@_MissAnnie_ @shellk1984 not just kids...
@MissLundgaard and confident and assertive then.
Packing to do. Other jobs. Work. Tired. Ummmm...
@sxa555 i've said that so many times but no time... Well not high enough priority.
@_MissAnnie_ @shellk1984 relationship then between parents and kids. Of course ours are v. Considerate.. Well mostly (honest)
Breadmaker set to finish for 7am (working at home tomorrow). Scrummy
@kkir They do some good deals. one warning. If you're thinking switching broadband providers (like to infinity etc) don't switch line rental
@sarahloumillie is the list useful? Must admit I don't take a lot of care of it. Am thinking of cutting followers -- and using lists *more*
@kkir yep o2/be network good. ok fair enough. just thought I'd mention it. fortunately we had fttc deployed around xmas :-)
@kkir llu in dec. Wow. I had adsl 2001 I think (exchange was 2000), LLU (C&W) in 2005, then -> O2. Now infinity
@kkir super. I had 4/1 before. HD streaming or multiple streaming problematic. Now 34/8 ish. throughput usually 30+ min 27 so far
@kkir Have iplayer integrated in TV. Can play HD stream. no breakups. Plays instantly. HH2 was cr*p but they replaced with HH3, good.
@sarahloumillie yep I need to weed out the people whos timelines I just dip into vs "regulars"/top tweeps..
@sarahloumillie could do with some good list management tools (follow 1100) to aid in categorization en-masse, tweet analysis, drag/drop etc
RT @Alheri: Boeing 787: 787 Dreamliner teaches Boeing costly lesson on outsourcing - http://lat.ms/fM5dCW as opposed to @dtapscott view
@nessie111 Have to say can't stand his current song. totally turned me anti... well not wanting to listen.
@icicle_halo_ Keep at it Keely. as you know they bug me, though not watched anything on 5 lately...
@Inacurate are you using stock kernel (which for me works) or power (which often doesn't)
Seeing a few "twitter over capacity" errors.....

@WebBasedWorking I know what you mean, a think a combination will be most practical. esp when busy working/short of time.
Enjoyed outcasts tonight!
@sxa555 what happened?
RT @gemzina69: I don't think it's flemming park. #Eastleigh. Someone just said a house is on fire in chandlersford.
RT @hudo: @scott_mills reports of gunfire, helicopters and possible bomb in Eastleigh/Chandlers ford! Heard anything?
obviously just me - didn't hear a think... though are a few miles away
RT @Real_Dave_Watts: http://www.eastleighnews.org.uk/news/2011/02/15/explosion-rocks-eastleigh/ #eastleigh
so no news yet
@lookingspiffy @sxa555 at this time I guess a discussion on whether that's a benefit or not can be put on hold
@RachEdwardsF1 Not sure, but it's stopping me from getting some sleep (not noise/fire/explosion -- twitter...)
@RachEdwardsF1 i saw some mention of gas cylinder on a bonfire not sure really.
@VoiceOfLulu decided it was best for the greater good?
So what did happn in eastleigh? When I went to sleep late last night the tweets were dying out?
@RachelBromhead There was a storm on twitter, but I never figured out what happened...
@parboo I didn't feel/hear anything, thought it might have been when I was watching #outcasts +surround sound on tv..!
@_whatthefudge though at least the Chandlers Ford Heist made national TV... (my office mate was in the shop virt next door too..)
@sxa555 yes I was guilty of that too. Tut tut.
So the mention last night of gas cylinders exploding seems to be the most likely cause of the bang? #Eastleigh
Having to use msoffice, openoffice & symphony alongside to tread the dont-screw-my-slide-formats-but-work-reliably path carefully...
@dr_black DMd you about possible revised dates :-)
@OzoneVibe @sxa555 I wish I'd just gone to sleep.
finally raised a hw call for my laptop. Screen is starting to feel unusable.. (65 cd/m^2 max. 120 comfortable, 200 is spec!)
yay. #win - 1 hour converence call actually took 16 minutes (I expected more like 30).
conference...
thinkbroadband :: Funders for H2O Networks face Serious Fraud Office investigation http://t.co/pTp20Py via @Digg
@katybairstow Ha. I did that across all 4 nets just before xmas before deciding to switch from 3. easy. only voda had full cov work+home
@katybairstow though I walked all around area noting dbM values, even drove places. In some cases alongside gps logging.
@katybairstow I think in US AT&T have an app to easily report sig issues (guess it needs to work offline) - captures desc+gps ?? useful.
@rodet sounds like an expense claim ...
that garlic for lunch was rather potent (and I love garlic). thinking I maybe unpopular later.
@katybairstow My old S60 6630 did the best with a few "engineering" style apps - but most accurate figures only when data open/on call
@OzoneVibe It's obvious. remove the "." Given most pay by CC/debit anyway so what. It's an interesting marketting bonus!
need to finish presentation soon to a) send then be able to b) take dogs for walk c) good dinner d) pack/wash e) relax .. arrghh.
started up some youtube vids for a bit. may help ?? !
I liked a YouTube video -- Delta Goodrem - Together We Are One @ The Commonwealth Games http://youtu.be/XNsrzw8T4U4?a
Yay. Presentation remix done. Happy with some good improvements. Still a few format glitches (arrows/lines). grrr. formats/tools...
Right. could be (wet?) dog walk time.
@ozonevibe have seen it. If it doesnt open up to other platforms its not worthy of using anyway imo..
Waitrose dog food looks rather nice. Yum! http://pi.pe/-gyf53i
Another episode of #outcasts tonight... If i get around to it. Sky box getting full (usual state)
Want to watch 'the chinese are coming' pt 1 and 2 but little time..
Tempted to not get up so early tomorrow. Goto gym and work lateish.. An idea
@JW_Ten14 i really like some of the tracks, but put off by others. I guess at least it makes you think so better than bland
Unlike most of timeline am not watching brits. Things to do then outcasts i think...
@jayegan a suitably angled mirror.... May get ppl to change habits as if they do, they stop getting blinded?
@etherealtype i certainly dont feel my life is lacking due to 'missing' it!
Oh remembered my new headphones (sennheiser pmx80) arrived. Ready for gym tomorrow. Have had them b4 but any set only lasts me 2 yrs tops
@andypiper no time in that style!
@emmadouglas91 i'd have to go monaco i think... Glitz and glamour would be tempting. Tho spa historic/gritty
@sarahgb i need to spend a short while sorting washing for holiday. Oh eciting. Important stuff (slr,cc,kindle,mobile data plan) done..
I should probably order 2 sequels of girl/dragon tattoo for hols... Will take all of (scarily few) seconds thanks to amazon
@Booooothman can be in house wiring. If not physical line next bet. I reckon isp least likely (tho they do your support)
@Booooothman any noise/crackles on voice calls?
@Booooothman its worth just dialling 1 and listening for crackles. If u get them u can easily report as a voice fault
@Booooothman def need to eliminate extension wiring if you are getting line drops. But could be router crash
@Booooothman its not a bt homehub2 is it with wifi failing after not long. They are useless
RT @PhotoInsomniac: RT @Cranialstrain: Dear TweetDeck users, do try and keep it to 140chars yeah? Seriously annoying deck.ly stuff going on
Twitter sms very delayed this eve. 40 mins or so. Am using client but had left sms enabled
Or maybe just vodafone
@Booooothman best test (tho awkward) is to remove faceplate behind which is the bt test socket. And plug router straight in there.
@Booooothman but can u check router stats. Best to find out if a) router is crashing or b) line is dropping. Very different causes usually
