From Twitter 03-02-2011



@SlyRenard remember one customer executive I worked with. whenever a serious (operational) issue he's simple state the issue, clarify the
@SlyRenard impact and then be silent. no shouting/screaming. just quiet & a periodic delicate reminder of impact (100s k£/hour etc)
@SlyRenard IMO another very effective technique to get buy-in.
why when you search for a group in facebook can't you sort my #members, or #friends etc... #fail #fb
@JoC00per Chilworth arms is rather nice & not expensive... though may be out of your way
@JoC00per another further away - the plough in sparsholt (I know not too ££ either)
and btw the facebook q referred to a work related search... not on hols any more...
Ooops. Grr. Did a "reply all" (email) in error. No worries just unnecessary
@JoC00per was with a customer few yrs ago. sales rep with us. Nice ££-ish meal. Cust offered list of brandys. priced $80-$250. Scared?
@JoC00per customer (a brit, tho this was in US) said "that;'s a rip off. No way am I spending that much even if you're paying". !
@OzoneVibe even better if sensitive to # recipients (including group resolution)
So a #win - 1hr meeting canceled after 5 mins, to which I arrived 5 minutes late. Yay!
lovely smoked salmon, olives,salad, and a slice of home-baked bread for lunch :-)
@LukaSambuca please post a warning before you get driving, so that everyone else can take cover...
@EmLah :-( -- I have a family (brother's) christening -
@OzoneVibe yes. heard about that -- unfortunate
@etherealtype yummy. +grapes/yogs. fairly good apart from the (rather too chunky) bread
@LukaSambuca good to see public safety announcements are alive and kicking though a gallardo - dreaming?
@lacanta is that really happening? in UK? is it a trading standards issue?
RT @mjserres: RT @adrian_johnson: "more 40 yr-olds than 18yr olds on FB" "Fastest growing FB demographic is over 35s" Steve Haines, uk c ...
@igerry apple are supposedly first at many things. Not really, but accept first mass-market perhaps...
@etherealtype I feel bad about using the machine, but sheesh it's so easy. literally a few minutes to load that's it...
@etherealtype should try adding some seeds etc soon. had been making sure am happy with basics first.
Getting a windows 7 issue (2 systems) b4/after sp1 whereby a USB audio dev "stalls". No audio/frozen until removed/replugged. Win bug/hotfix
eek. usb audio hang twice in < 5 minutes.
@aimee_maree generic. actually plantronics 995 audio headset. Windows drivers. Event log nothing. Disabled selective suspend to see..
Oh dear looks like usb audio problem much worse in Win 7 SP1 than before. cut out for third time in ~20 minytes. try moving usb dock->direct
@aimee_maree nope, no vendor drivers, it's just seen as a regular usb audio device using MS drivers...
@craigmcgill hah. Been there. it works. Useful for reviews/sharing (though offline/async post really needed) but display not geared for BAU
My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Delta Goodrem (2), Jennifer Lopez (1) & Lene Marlin (1) #music http://bit.ly/aC2d2Q
no point adding "please join 10 mins before" to meeting invite if you sched say 10-11, schedule 0950-11 or start at 1010 otherwise not free!
@EmLah yeah and my case we're in same hotel room for night so I won't get away with getting up unless watch on mobile in bathroom or similar
@EmLah it will have to be twitter/facebook/phone silence from time of race until 9pm ish that eve then sky+/iplayer...
@craigmcgill I'm very happy with it as a book though, which is really what it's superb as. Brilliant reading in holiday sunshine....
@craigmcgill I like the twitter/fb sharing of "quotes"/highlights... but needs to support offline
@jtonline last time I checked opera didnt sync feeds across browser instances? I use feeddemon+google reader for internet, no soln for intra
Like RT @TommyB89: 3-4 STOPS! Wow RT @f1fanatic_co_uk:Vettel says three-or four-stop strategy races are likely in 2011: http://bit.ly/e2Qyl2
RT @mjserres: RT @NataliaMeersohn: #tfm&a love the IBM modelling business program. < Like spss but more visual & easy to get insight!
@mjserres which program was it -- was it part of unica?

@xplane0202 Android malware -- http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/over_50_droiddream_malware_apps_removed_from_android_market.php
@craigmcgill I would take care -- don't treat it as a tablet. it just isn't. It's a book with some online capability.
@craigmcgill you will be disappointed if you think it's more than this IMO
Pronounciation "niche" American=nitch British=neesh ? elsewhere? correct?
@craigmcgill smartphone? (vodafone data traveller useful in europe)
I forget I only have 100 Mbps at work. Thinking a large file copy was slow and realise 100Mbps ethernet was running at 99.9% utilization!
@MorganF1 black and purple I hope. Maybe green. Not yellow though.
@EmLah I know. I used to watch more recorded in past, but now has to be live if at all possible.
@EmLah Have to set a specific time for online twitter "replay" (ok it won't work!)
@LukaSambuca insert "admit to" before "be" ;-)
Woohay leaving work and it isnt totally dark
Hint to land rover driver. Just because u are big dont be stupid enough to overtake cyclist fast on totally blind hill. Mad pratt
And probably blind corner too.
@_pocketdynamo incenerate them then
Lovely quick pasta dinner :-)
@mjserres virtually everywhere on holiday with free wifi wasn't work. At least twitter uses little data so fine for mobile :-)
RT @robfryphoto: Our dog seems to have tried to watch TV while we were at work... http://yfrog.com/h3ohvuaj
@robfryphoto Oh no! We have 1 4 month old pup and keep thinking the same could happen.
@OzoneVibe Just supermarket fresh pasta/sauce for us..
@Walkerooo @OzoneVibe :-( Sorry I won't be there to listen - but in spirit (literally... clash in dates with meal out with friends)
@melissa_RBRx werent' you close to throwing the vivaz off a tall building? Did it get better?
@Walkerooo that would be cool. can grab a coffee/beer sometime am sure a few takers. I know @ozonevibe and @_pocketdynamo were talking
@Walkerooo about testing out that place "NV" near holyrood for future t/up so could be an excuse one eve
@Walkerooo @_pocketdynamo @OzoneVibe Ha! just beat you to it but yes.
@melissa_RBRx frustrating. If sw playing up you should keep hassling voda :-(
@Walkerooo may be best you suggest a few dates when you feel like it. am busy mon 14h sat/sun 19/20 and 26/27 @OzoneVibe @_pocketdynamo
I'd be pushing for an alternative handset - it's your 4th isn't it? that's ridiculous.
@OzoneVibe @Walkerooo @dellacunio @icicle_halo_ @_pocketdynamo I might get my dates right this time :-(
@hrwildberlin I was with O2 for a while and didn't find them too bad. Now CPW O2 (subtle difference) were AWFUL
@melissa_RBRx Does anyone in your family have access to free legal advice (via work etc)? Worth asking. try moneysavingexpert.co.uk & ask
@melissa_RBRx But otherwise I'd be firm, say it's the third, not acceptable & you want an alternative handset and don't take no. Try twitter
@melissa_RBRx and eforum, and on phone ask to escalate to a supervisor/manager. But keep calm/polite just try to be assertive..
@melissa_RBRx did the handset come from voda online, a dealer or voda store?
@Walkerooo yep my fault. I told dave I was free, but missed a confirmed appt in the calendar so have to admit I screwed up :-(
@melissa_RBRx worth going back to store and asking to speak to manager?
@_pocketdynamo @OzoneVibe @Walkerooo what's annoying is I do want to go to dinner with these friends too (home cooked)! Just same night!
@melissa_RBRx worth keeping a record of all discussions/emails & listening them chronologically too when you complain to voda.
@melissa_RBRx How about writing to the vodafone UK CEO -> http://campaigns.vodafone.co.uk/guylaurence/
@melissa_RBRx and email address is also here http://bit.ly/genMs4
@_pocketdynamo eek s'pose it does
@_pocketdynamo free on fridays and other days though..!
@mgualtieri But they are very different. kindle isn't much good for browsing but excellent for reading books even in sun. light etc
@mgualtieri I see them as two very different devices, good for different things...
@melissa_RBRx I'd be assertive more than mean. explain the issue/disatisfaction and suggest what it would take to fix. it will be different
@melissa_RBRx ppl with probably a lot more power to fix things than regular customer service
@tpphotography dare I say nope. no strong urge...
@mjserres not sure about bus, but trying to use mobile data (3 or voda) on train soton-london is nightmare. limited sig, total battery drain
@rockmelt hate to be -ve and appreciated the chance to try, but one word would be "unused" (sorry). I guess I prefer chrome currency
@andypiper I never learn and usually spend far too long on the journey faffing about rather than reading/working offline/relaxing @mjserres
@melissa_RBRx Good stuff. Hopefully it will help :-)
@melissa_RBRx just one thing -- is it PAYG or contract. if contract who's name is that in (parents?). If so they may need to speak to them..
@oldmanuk didnt like it? Faulty?
@oldmanuk really like mine
