Hmm. Just got a quote from Western Computer for upgrading the iMac. Then tried to get quote from Apple Store. Who told me to go to Western..

@Twitterrific Would love a way of toggling between all tweet tweets and just @replies…

Listening to the fantastic The Go! Team. Even as a confirmed non-dancer, I can’t help at least bouncing a bit :)

Gah. Just found two folders in Lightroom both pointing to the same folder on disk. Only difference is case of one letter. Wonder how I fix?

Just worked out why Robert Glenister from Hustle reminds me of Philip Glenister from Life on Mars. I didn’t know their last names until now!

Installing the latest X11 on the Mac to see if I can finally get tablet pressure working in the Gimp

Yay! Finally have tablet pressure working in the Gimp under OSX. Thank you, O Lovely XQuartz Developers!

Taking the day off. A little geeking, a little reading, then lunch in Clifton Village. Will wing it after that.

But first, some breakfast, and a Very Long Bath.

@pdathey Why an ISO image? Aren’t you better off just installing it on the thumbdrive normally?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lemonhousephoto

@asic69 Hmm? Oh, nothing now. Just a passing glitch that lasted longer than most of Google’s passing glitches…

via Twitter Web Client in reply to asic69

@pdathey Not sure; it’s normally worked for me so I’ve not looked around. You’re not going through a USB hub, are you? Can cause gyp.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lemonhousephoto

@pdathey If not, then could copy the files out of the ISO onto the stick, alter some bits of the config, then make bootable.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lemonhousephoto

@pdathey But you’d need to know the distro fairly well to know the exact steps in “alter some bits of the config”, I’m afraid.

Off to Clifton Village for lunch.

Do supermarkets always stock buy-one-get-one-free offers with odd numbers of packets just to make sure there’s always just one left?

@jacintuk it was something on my shopping list anyhow, so I’d have bought it regardless. But now I feel like I’m losing out!

via Twitter Web Client

Okay, who typed “Google” into Google?

via Twitter Web Client

@stevevrporter It’s not just wizards. Try searching for “Google” :)

via Twitter Web Client

@davidpatrick Yeah, google.co.uk is fine. I believe they’ve installed the British “stuff upper lip” module :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to davidpatrick

@davidpatrick Yeah, somewhere in Google is a guy at a desk keeping his head down and hoping nobody noticed he pushed the wrong button :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to davidpatrick

Okay, so that’s http://ma.gnolia.com/ and Google. When do the conspiracy theories start?

via Twitter Web Client

@davidpatrick Probably the second most popular social bookmarking site after del.icio.us.

@talkie_tim No, all back now by the looks of it. Was doing very strange things, though: http://twitpic.com/19m7b

@davidpatrick On the other hand, I bet they’ll have a better more-rehearsed fault tolerance system than any competitor if they come back!
