November 2007
On my way home having left my laptop at work exporting 8 hours of video from FCP. Now to entertain myself…
Colloquy for iPhone has improved. I look forward to an official API version. Roll on v1.2 or whatever.
Hrm, £14 off the v-moda vibe duo in-ear headphones for iPhone form Apple today.
Grr. 7 working days to get my CarphoneWarehouse O2 phone number ported to O2 (for an iPhone). Stupid.
@dnorman: Jealous is not the right word for my response to that picture.
I’m going to be away from my backups drive for 4 weeks, I’m not sure if the paranoid part of me can cope with that.
10 days until my Christmas holidays (4 weeks… well, 48 hours flying, and 4 days in the Singapore office, but still, holidays!)
@dnorman: damn straight, bears are the answer.
@dnorman: that was hilarious. Thanks for sharing :)
@kitykity: I think somewhere it is b0rked.
I hate servers that I can’t walk down the hall and hit when they decide to start being difficult
@dnorman: I want an octomac. Preferrably with some xserve raid storage attached.
when did the background to plain quicktime objects (like loading a .mp3 url) get darker in safari?
ok, time to play video editor again. Really really need sugar…
@dnorman: Ok, I’ll get my people on that.
Why, in UK format, will the iPhone not let me use non 24-hour time formatting?
Ok, I have a slightly used iPhone for sale, only 2 months old, unlocked, running 1.1.2, works quite nicely…
@meontwitter: I don’t really care about the unlocking for now. O2 is my carrier of choice, and now I don’t have to deal with CPW anymore.
The UK plug is crazily large. It’s as big as the current iPod/iPhone USB adapter. Seriously.
@dnorman: Dear $deity, what happened to you on that bus?!
Considering selling my unlocked iPhone & W880i and buying a UK iPhone. Sure it’d be locked, but then I wouldn’t be paying two phone bills…
Putting my existing O2 sim in to my unlocked iPhone, reverting to unpatched lockdownd makes iTunes show the O2-branded signup.
Time to keep watching Damages. Good show. Also, still haven’t found my ideal headphones. a closed version of the HD595 would be perfect.
@bwana: I did that with my unlocked iPhone when it came out a couple of weeks ago. It works, but Apple certainly aren’t making it easy. :)
@casablanca: I’ve got the same voice, except mine starts on the 9th. Shame I’ve got 9 hours of video edit and prepare for the web before it

Wrapped Christmas presents today: totally my favourite part of the holiday season. That and the food with family part.
Nothing like a cold wait for a bus. Ad here for London overground trains… Where are they?
What shops shall I visit today and try not to spend money at?
darn you ebay, why is there nothing I just have to own?
I never would’ve picked Safari’s Web Inspector as being written in HTML.
@Casablanca: of course it works, if it didn’t it would just be… um… something that didn’t. Ok, not my most convincing argument ever.
Damn you Color, render faster gosh darn it.
I can has home time now?
Tell me why there is a soccer team called “socceroos”. It’s just… Wrong.
@casablanca: oh, you wanted serious answers? several computers, a script that watches for new entries in /Volumes, copies things and ejects?
@Casablanca: 1,000 trained monkeys with some kind of usb duplicator
Patrick’s ways to make your colleagues think you’re crazy #104: Say “I think you should shine on you crazy diamond”. Success guaranteed.
Wishing it was home time. I’m totally done with today, and it’s only 3pm. Done as in falling asleep. Not so good.
Good morning twitterers. Could it be… another day? It is!
@kitykity: another one?! how many do they need? :)
What happened to the 82p that I had before I left the house 5 mo its ago. I wish I knew.
@dnorman: I did better, I got 467 (all correct) on my third go (position 2700 or so), but then decided to give it a rest :)
http://tinyurl.com/2bjo76 only managing 441 characters per minute (position 4550), but I am lying in bed.
c is for cookie, that’s good enough for me, c is for cookie, that’s good enough for me, oh cookie cookie cookie starts with c!
@nadyne: insert suitable groan here :)
