@mikeotaylor There was nothing wrong with the service, technically, but if ever anything went administratively awry, they were nightmarish.

How come iPhoto shows me the pictures on my iPhone every single time I use it _except_ when I want to download a photo from my iPhone?

@ahnlak Ta. They’re on my list for if I need to chuck this Belkin (it’s started interpreting browsing Flickr as attack & blocking farms!)

@philmonger @Jorence Although today, I wouldn’t absolutely rule out caffeine withdrawal!

via Echofon in reply to philmonger

@philmonger @Jorence mine’s mostly narrowed down to post-accident whiplash, and scoliosis. Gradually getting less frequent with physio.

via Echofon in reply to philmonger

Did @echofon always start itself up on unlock after a push notification, thus killing @Runkeeper and interrupting my running?

We’re going to clean up these mean streets. http://twitpic.com/1bj07e

Great sky today, Bristol. Well done! http://twitpic.com/1bik8y

Okay. Off for a jog. To the pulsing, energetic beat of… erm… _The Now Show_.

via Echofon

@lahlootea Oooh. Erm. I’ll have to get out for a jog first, then see how much time I’ve got left…

@jbrownridge It was an annoyingly bad Netgear I replaced the time before last. Sigh. Think I need to get an ADSL modem and separate router.

via Echofon in reply to jbrownridge

@thomasvenables Oh, dear. That sounds like the voice of bitter experience.

via Echofon in reply to thomasvenables

@Jorence Yeah. Watershed is short ferry journey for me, Tobacco Factory is car ride. Or bike, soon, once I dust it off for the spring!

via Echofon

@xabl Yes. Yes, it is. Which is why I uninstalled it, the non-standard, depressing, badly-fonted, US-spellchecking piece of heavyware.

via Echofon in reply to xabl

@Jorence Biggest problem is that all the cafes that are quiet enough for writing round the clock go out of business in the end!

via Echofon

@Jorence Does depend on the time of day. But yeah, odd, I find Watershed better for programming. Actual writing needs more quiet.

via Echofon

@mikeotaylor And I’m on ADSL because Telewest were _truly_ shit!

via Echofon in reply to mikeotaylor

@mikeotaylor It’s the higher-level networking stuff in the routers that seems to be the bane of my life. The ADSL side is fine…

via Echofon in reply to mikeotaylor

Does anyone actually make an ADSL router that works? Or are they all completely rubbish in one way or another?

via Echofon

@Dan_Christensen Well, be careful out there. And watch out for the little one: he bites.

via Echofon in reply to Dan_Christensen

RT @bertpalmer: If you’re in the uk, put all your camera clocks forward now whilst you remember! (via @plinkk) <— Good shout!

via Echofon

@paulahillier Yeah. I’ve got a headache, I’m tired, I’ve only just had my coffee, and half my clocks are still wrong. This morning is _hard_

via Echofon in reply to paulahillier

@Jorence You have a false-hangover too? Horrible, isn’t it, when you’ve done nothing to deserve it.

via Echofon

@paulahillier Well, I didn’t see anyone who looked like a donut :) Talked to a few people, but I got there late and mostly watched bands…

via Echofon in reply to paulahillier

@bananza Glad your big baby isn’t obviously broken, hon.

via Echofon in reply to bananza

Bearing in mind viruses can’t multiply by themselves, wouldn’t it be better to aim for a bacterial marketing campaign?

via Echofon

Hey, where did @thomasvenables go? *blink*

via Echofon

@treblechamp Gig photography is one of those few areas where the camera really can make a big difference.

via Echofon in reply to treblechamp

@Whatleydude It is quite shameful that Twitter is so rubbish at searching itself.

via Echofon in reply to Whatleydude

@treblechamp Partly that’s because the history of dark gig photography is one of grainy high ISO shots, so that’s the “look” they had to be!

via Echofon in reply to treblechamp

@Whatleydude I’m guessing it’s not the use Friendfeed intend, though…

via Echofon in reply to Whatleydude

@Jorence Nice! Yeah, can see why you would; the light is really important in that one.

via Echofon

@treblechamp Not much. I’ve only done one proper paid shoot for a band. http://bit.ly/dqQ2QM

via Echofon in reply to treblechamp

On balance, think this is my favourite shot from Thursday night. Feeling a desire to brush out the exit sign, though. http://bit.ly/aUGY8W

via Echofon

Alternatively, a one-night stand every eight days would work. Just so long as they don’t go to waste and I don’t have to eat them.

via Echofon

I need to enter a deep and meaningful relationship with someone who actually likes Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes.

via Echofon

@thomasvenables Never mind! Had to dash off anyway. Give me shout next time you see anything interesting on!

via Echofon in reply to thomasvenables

Chris Addison was very funny. Go see him if you have the chance.

via Echofon

@Jorence on way out of Tobacco Factory theatre, just spotted sign for indoor bike rack. Don’t know how secure but maybe worth knowing about!

via Echofon

Today I will be taking the morning off. A very long bath and .net magazine shall be combined for educational relaxation.

via Echofon

@caffeinebomb ahh. I had similar arrangement between Warwick and Bristol for a bit. But they at least did phone renewals.

via Echofon in reply to jennifermjones

Off to see Chris Addison in a bit. Which may explain why I’ve had _Walking Down Madison_ in my head all day. A bit.

via Echofon

@mattgemmell if it helps you search, nearest equivalent I found for Firefox was Site Launcher. Not exactly the same, but close enough for me

via Echofon in reply to mattgemmell

@DrHairbear it depends. Are you hot or cross yet?

via Echofon in reply to DrHairbear

@caffeinebomb Can you not renew on the web? Even my local council have caught up with technology to that extent…

via Echofon in reply to jennifermjones

@Gina_luh okay, that wins prize for oddest tweet I saw while searching for “Moles”.

via Echofon

GMT or BST, I think I’m rather overdue for lunch.

via Echofon

@xabl Dunno; my preferred client doesn’t auto-complete. What platform?
