  • Good deed for the day done, I reckon. Lovely person, good chat and a thankyou made it all worthwhile =o) #
  • Not slept a wink. Not even five mins. Brain hurts from the thought of getting up. Running a temp. Massive hypochondriac-itis fail… #
  • Yes, manscaping is vital for the more, err, hirsute gent like me, but why have I just agreed with g/f to have my top half waxed b4 hols? :-S #

  • Grr, why is it Word 2010/Win 7 loads in 3 secs, but Word 2011/OS X takes 30 secs? (It's Monday, so I'm exercising my right to be grumpy) #
  • Absolutely devastated to hear about Love Parade deaths. Thoughts with the families of those killed or injured. Very sad days. #
  • Right, that's it. iOS 4 can bugger off: it's jerky, slow, eats battery & gives me precisely zero more than iOS 3 except headaches & crashes! #
  • Bloody hell, not only does the iPhone now crash when I try to sync it, but iTunes has wiped all the music off. And it's crashed again! Aargh #
  • Does anybody else think the #priceisright and #grandtheftauto logos look suspiciously similar…? ;o) http://twitpic.com/2945vb #
  • @anyclean Hi Anyclean, how much to clean a 3 bedroom house in KT1 please? We're moving out soon and need it spotless for the landlord. Thx! #

  • I've just decided I officially _like_ techno; listening to http://technopodcast.com and I. Like. It. =o) #
  • Nggyargh! No Alliance & LeiSantander, I don't want to be brainwashed by the same too-loud 29 seconds of overly-cheery hold music. Pick up! #
  • Wow, this morning's coffee just blew my tastebuds off… I think I need a lie down… Oh no, too jittery now. #
  • @multijoy Sounds like all the essentials are in place. Don't forget to re-set the timing on the fonglesprocket afterwards… in reply to multijoy #

  • Actual food win: Tesco's are flogging off their Spag Bol ready meals for a princely £1. I won't starve today, and I still have 20p. Bonus! #
  • Ah, slight problem: I'm incapable of eating spag bol without ending up wearing most of it. My suit trousers and posh shirt are in trouble… #

  • Ok, when I say "I" played Aircon FItter, what I meant was they let me hold the gaffer tape. Like they'd let me play with electricity…! ;o) #
  • Just registered as an organ donor at http://www.organdonation.nhs.uk. Possibly my one Good Thing this wk. Hope no-one receives my brain though ;o) #

  • Union. http://yfrog.com/0aeufhj #
  • Yes, ok, I admit it: I'm Wikipedia'ing the offside rule. Man fail. ;o) #
  • Aargh, no! I still managed to get longcat in the wrong order! Let's try again…! #
  • Never has so little been owed by so many to so few. What a massive bunch of bloody numpties. #wc2010 #
  • Ahh, that's better: just bought the flimsiest, most-expensive desk fan ever from http://www.ryness.co.uk, but by god it's worth it! #
  • I know this sounds tetchy, but I'm getting rather pissed off with #drush. The install instructions seem to be missing some crucial bits :( #
  • Just installed Jing to take screenshots on the Mac. Lovely idea, but it simply doesn't work on Snow Leopard. What a shame :( #
  • Reading up on piracetam. Amazing substance; used to treat epilepsy, mental decline, brain damage… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracetam #
  • Just blew my face off with half a bag of M&S wasabi peas. Totally worth the pain >-) #
  • Hoooooorayyyy! Finally for #Aegir working on #Drupal. If this means nothing to you, I envy you. I'm now completely grey from the stress ;o) #
  • Hoooooorayyyy! Finally got #Aegir working on #Drupal. If this means nothing to you, I envy you. I'm now completely grey from the stress ;o) #
  • Scratch that: #Hostmaster's managed to empty & lock itself out of settings.php – #Aegir offline again. Massive fail :( What did I do wrong? #
  • Oh my goodness I feel sick :( Shouldn't have eaten yesterday's chicken pizza. Ugh… #
  • Nearly 4 hours of being on the verge of being sick and trying to sleep. For god's sake body, puke or get off the pot! :-( #
  • Ugh, clearly my stomach heard me. I **HATE** being… y'know… "ill". Ugh. Mouthwash… #
  • Ok stomach, how much longer until you stop feeling like you've just been punched? No more day-old @dominos pizza, I *promise*! #
  • Eurgh, here we go again… :( #
  • Oooooooh look at meeeeeee and my burst eyeball blood vessels! I look like Sean's Undead. Scared the pants off me in the barfroom! #
  • Ok, I'll stop talking about being ill. Weirdly, I managed to wake up and be out the door perfectly on time this morning despite 3 hrs sleep! #
  • Massive fail: leaky water bottle in bag + grey trousers = I look like I've wet myself (err, again… ;o) #
  • Oh noes, what have I done?! Just put down the deposit on the new broom cupboard/flat, and have signed up for the gym. Bye bye beer gut? ;o) #
  • Oh feck, the RFID chip in my new gym card – so you can swipe, Oyster-style – is interfering with my Oyster card. Massive #davidlloyd fail ;) #
  • Zut alors! Got signal in the JesusPhone in the cutting tithe south of Crapham Junction for the first time. #vodafone win? Shurely not! ;o) #
  • Just been introduced to the American #oldspice ads; totally epic! There won't be any work done today… Watch@ http://bit.ly/a9M2pK #
  • Just sent #davidlloyd gym an e-mail telling them off: their site requires an alphanumeric password, but won't accept a123456 – grr! #fail #
  • The work iPhone 4 arrived earlier. Had a play. Yes, the aeriel/no signal problem is a major fail, but the screen is a major win – v good! #
  • @ncameron Bridging the gap in the aerial band with your finger causes signal to tail off to 1 bar in 30s, every time. Apple recall needed? in reply to ncameron #
  • @_laurapatricia Step away from the 'phone and bloody well engage each other in conversation! Gah! Kids today… ;o) x in reply to _laurapatricia #
  • In an annoyingly good mood today. Popping to #primani after work to pick up a new gym kit; I know, I'm about as classy as they come ;o) #
  • More work non-productivity: the office is having a lol at today's Matt cartoon gallery: #
  • Argh! Forgot the link – d'oh! http://bit.ly/bBIzTE #
  • Hmm, I'm feeling a little belligerent today. Can't say why of course, but I only have to survive until 6pm then off to let it out at the gym #
  • Maybe 'belligerent' is the wrong word. Let's just go for 'grumpy' ;o) #
  • Lesson of the day: you just can't mix a #drupal and an #openatrium install using multisites. No way José. Everything breaks. Very sad :o( #
  • What kind of friend knowingly leaves a sick person on their doorstep to freeze to death? More than meets the eye? BBC: http://bit.ly/cGJDx8 #
  • RT @jamiepotter I can't stress enough how much an awesome resource @TechnoPodcast is http://bit.ly/d1Td5D #
  • RT @segmatt So they've now started using Little Britain characters in Nationwide ads, surely the most appropriate is "Computer says no"? #
  • Much as I love #Sainsburys £2 strawbs, the contents of today's punnet looks like the produce of the Elephant Man's green fingers… #
  • Must stop closing Facebook and Twitter windows half a second after I spot the boss walking through the door. I look like such a slacker! #
  • I would _LOVE_ to be able to take Renaissance: Hernan Cattaneo to the gym with me 2night. To do that, I have to buy #spotify Pro. Should I? #
  • Spent two weeks picking through albums one-by-one on iPod 'cos I forgot I'd set up chillout and tech house playlists. Massive memory fail! #
  • Zut alors! Got signal in the JesusPhone in the cutting tithe south of Crapham Junction for the first time. #vodafone win? Shurely not! ;o) #
  • Just settling down after massive salad and green Thai curry. First gym session awesum; full circuit should take at least 3 hours + sauna! ;) #
  • Watching Reunited on iPlayer. It's prompting a strange spot of introspection… I reckon it's worth a watch :) http://j.mp/df8H7h #
  • Fighting with iTunes: trying to sync a playlist with podcasts to JesusPhone. iTunes says no, but I've a cunning plan ;) http://bit.ly/aKctzE #
  • @Capt_Blackadder It's even more cunning than that; my plan involves camels, fireworks, and two fresh turnips… in reply to Capt_Blackadder #
  • @_laurapatricia Ouch Laura, have you left your Blunt Button on today…? :P @shreypuranik: ignore the nasty Scotswoman, your geekness rox ;) in reply to _laurapatricia #
  • I need to memorise this list, methinks ;o) Top 10: Conversation Etiquette Mistakes – AskMen.com http://bit.ly/cuHKjG #
  • Massive gym fail #1: make sure you pick up YOUR water bottle. Check, then double check, BEFORE you take a sip. Oops! #
  • Ibiza's bloody haunting me: just spied Es Vedra in a random photo in a Top 10 Annoying Brit Mistakes Abroad: http://bit.ly/dwSquo – go look! #
  • Sat in garden on laptop with #Sasha's #GlobalUnderground #Ibiza comp cranked up to 11. Beautiful evening. If this is my lot, I'm content :o) #
  • @_laurapatricia I know, I know! So was my reply, but I obviously need to practice my :Ps and my ;)s. Sorry, lady! in reply to _laurapatricia #
  • I think I'm starting to remember… It's definitely a good thing :) #
  • Next door are off out with a load of friends. I'm entertaining a mug of tea and a couple of moovies. Hmm… #

  • Classic quote from Jen: just walked in to 99p store. Quoth the lady: "ooh, Pepsi. I wonder how much that is?" Amazingly, I knew the answer! #
  • Having a bit of a #thementalist marathon tonight – watching Season 2 at the mo. Kinda like a modern-day #Columbo ;o) #
  • Halp! I'm playing "Which car should I not buy because I can't afford it?" – Audi S3 or Golf R32? #
  • The world of Mactardism welcomes its newest member – me! Shiny new Macbook Pro just arrived. I've scurried up to my desk to unwrap + play :) #
  • Just been reminded the new #iphone is expected to be announced today. No doubt there'll also be a new Macbook Pro to put mine to shame ;o) #
  • Suspect my replacement @kssdeanery isn't keen to talk – me: "I googled your name and <website> came up. Is this you?" "Yes." "Ok." "Yes." #
  • @tdkane Just how special are the favours you're referring to…? :-S Sorry the job's stressing you out hon – maybe it's time to move on? x in reply to tdkane #
  • I suspect it's no accident that the £6 #primani man-bag I just bought is the perfect size for a Mac laptop in a protective sleeve-thing…. #
  • @tdkane Well done you! Where you off to? I've just started a new McJob on Greek Street. Priscilla QOTD is just round the corner…! ;o) in reply to tdkane #
  • What's the stupidest #servingsuggestion you've seen on a food packet? #
  • It all just got a bit too real; grinning gold-toothed chav threw punch which stopped an inch from my face at bus stop while using iPhone :-@ #
  • To add insult to injury, the power adaptor for the new USB hub I just bought bloody exploded! Moulded case cracked in two, soot up the wall! #
  • Hoit, loudmouthed businessman on phone, have you not seen the signs proclaiming this to be a Quiet Zone train carriage? Shh! #
  • Right, so how long have we got to do all our afternoon's work before the second half kicks off again…? ;o) #wc2010 #
  • I thoroughly recommend #marksandspencers salted wasabe peas and edamame beans as a #wc2010 snack. The bowl's already almost empty! ;o) #
  • I think/hope I did some good today: helped someone who I hope will appreciate it. Karmically-speaking of course, redemption is still distant #

  • Time for a mug of bonfire tea (it says #Twinings Lapsang Souchon on the box, but I know its real name). Actually very nice tea – am I mad? #
  • Sunny outside, Facebook e-mails from opening nights, everyone on FB is in IBZ. I've just got comfy in Soho and now I'm pining for Ibiza. Grr #
  • Awaiting arrival of new work Mac – #UPS site says "Your package has experienced an exception". Sounds painful. Slightly worried… :-S #
  • Macbook Pro current location: back in China, according to UPS. Oh bugger. ETA still Monday. 4 more days before I need to look up 'Cab Envy'? #
  • I'm quite liking the look of #secretgardenparty in July – anyone been before? http://uk.secretgardenparty.com/2010 #

  • @Joe That's because Entourage is Microsoft, & is being dropped in Office 2011 for a fully-fledged, Exchange- and PC-compatible Outlook.app in reply to Joe #
  • VERY strong smell of domestic gas in Tescos, Dean St – maybe Crossrail works outside? Have told staff, am now running away like a wuss ;o) #

  • Seems I'm on a #twinings magical mystery tour today – just trying some Chai tea. Hella nice :o) #

  • @multijoy Pint sounds awesum wicked. Rebilling may result in a slap – we'll see. Off to learn Subversion now to try and justify my salary ;) in reply to multijoy #
  • @Joe Best of luck with it. I don't know if you can acquire a beta of Office 2011 now but it would be worth seeing if you can in reply to Joe #
  • @Joe Or just sync Calendar.app, Mail.app and Contacts.app with Exchange which is fine unless you need tasks or rules integration in reply to Joe #
  • Listening to Amnesia Ibiza – Underground 8 at the mo – very minimal & dirty: http://open.spotify.com/track/0Vxr2rBCGGVcxwZtI0UYv3 #

    Key requirements for a blog: 1) write little; 2) write often; 3) write interesting(ly); and 4) engage your audience.

    I’m proud to be able to tell you today that I excel on no less than zero out of the four of the above principles.

    Ah.

    Not only am I too scared to look at the date of my last blog post on here, but I’ve completely forgotten what I wrote about. You could wave a copy of my last entry under my nose and I’d have trouble distinguishing it from a hole in the ground, although that probably says more about my goldfish-capacity memory.

    Here’s a lightning-quick, probably-not-as-interesting-to-you-as-I-think-it-is recap of the last 12-ish months of my life:

    - Stopped smoking;
    - Left job and England behind and moved to Ibiza;
    - Got bored of not using my brain after 1 week and came home;
    - Went back to my former NHS job;
    - Bought ’spensive suit at Marks & Sparks. Felt (and walked) like a pimp. Got funny looks from other commuters;
    - Visited parents for xmas. Ate too much;
    - Took some photos of some things;
    - Wisdom tooth snapped in half. Still managed to avoid seeing dentist for two months;
    - Went to dentist. Dentist pulled tooth out. Asked me – with evil glint in eye – to come back next week. TBC;
    - Took some more photos of some more things (to be posted to Flickr sometime);
    - Visited the Better Half’s parents in Belgium, yet wasn’t kidnapped by MI6 operatives, didn’t experience extraordinary rendition to a far-away corner of Russia to answer “questions”, didn’t enjoy a polonium milkshake in a Belgian Maccy D’s, and wasn’t even punched in the face by BH’s father. Highly disappointing…;
    - Did some coding with this Drupal interwebs thingbob I build websites with. Very fun (for me; highly boring for normal people, I know); will be releasing three Drupal modules – probably to perpetual dev/alpha – just as soon as I figure out how to do so on drupal.org;
    - Noticed slight draft in “downstairs area” and stifled giggling behind/below me as I ascended escalators at London Bridge station one morning. On arriving home, found fist-sized hole worn through crotch of suit trousers. Suspect hot pink-trimmed boxer shorts may have been complicit in giving the game away;
    - Took trousers to M&S today and begged lady to help me fix my suit in time for next week’s job interviews. I was prepared to use begging, pleading, and offers of bribery with freshly baked goods from Greggs, but in the end only had to resort to being polite. Turns out she was a Very Nice Lady indeed, as I got a full refund on trousers and jacket and headed straight downstairs where Frank the Suit Fitter, the BH and I picked out a hella-nice new suit;
    - Tomorrow I’m taking back my shoes which have also fallen apart. What’s the worst that could happen?**
    - Oh, and did I mention I’m looking for a job? Yes? Then I shall shaddap now.

    * Sorry, there’s no talk of proportional representation here really; I only said it to get you to read the rest of this blog entry – I know how politics can be sexy. Ahem… ;o)

    ** Yes, I have seen the Dr Pepper adverts :o)

    Thanks for reading! See you all in 12 months…?
