Good old life, always there to throw you a curveball/remind you not to take everything too seriously/take things seriously/give you a sharp whack of perspective right between the eyes. Went off to the British Museum earlier, then popped down to Regents Street so Amy could pick up some new in-ear heaphones, stopped for a couple [...]
I thought I’d try doing a blog from my iPod, just to see what it was like. It’s not as easy as typing on a real live hardware keyboard, so this will be a short one. I’ve actually had a pretty offline day, so I won’t say much about any online stories or things I [...]
Apart from the hilarity to be had from the muppets on twitter who think that NASA actually bombed the moon, today I have mostly been amused by the fact that a certain Mr Barack Obama has apparently been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, having being nominated within the first eleven days of his presidency. Call [...]
Wedding anniversary (the fourth). Went to see Zero 7 at Roundhouse in Camden. They were odd. Good, but odd. They’ve obviously decided to head off in a slightly different musical direction, which I think surprised a lot of the audience, who hadn’t heard their new album, Yeah Ghost [spotify link].
I have wave. So I’ve finally got into Google Wave, and I’m not going to comment on it. Yes, really. It’s a very early version. The top left badge says “preview”, although I think it should probably say “beta”. I’m guessing it will say beta for the next five years though, this being a Google [...]
I think I may have doubled up on too much too soon today. It’s less then two weeks since I fell down some stairs and something in my ankle made a crack/snap type noise, and I went and did nearly an hour in the gym. After walking home from work. Yup, that’s going to help [...]
I’ve finally done it, the windows habit is kicked!* *Not strictly true, I still have VirtualBox running XP, so I can sync up my iPod Touch. But ignoring that… XP is no more on my netbook. As I type this, the beta of the next version of Ubuntu is installing, specifically, the netbook remix. It’s [...]
File today under geeky. And lazy. But most definitely geeky. Began the day by watching the Japanese Grand Prix via iPlayer (it was pretty obvious that Button wasn’t going to win the driver’s championship this weekend, so I wasn’t going to get up at 5), and then, as we don’t have a downstairs to the [...]
Well that was an entertaining Japanese Grand Prix qualifying session, plenty of accidents, drama and penalties. I was contemplating getting up at 5AM for the race, but I reckon I might just iPlayer it later. Today’s little snippet of knowledge, is that on some Nokia mobile phones, the *#7780# factory reset code resets some settings [...]
Even quicker one tonight (meh, it’s Friday, I’m tired, and I want to get my sleep in so I can get up early on Sunday morning to watch Jenson Button win the F1 drivers championship, in the car that Honda sold, on the track that Honda own). Couple of things I have learned today – [...]
