Pepsi: please stop redesigning your cans for long enough that I can learn to recognise them when put backwards in our dark vending machine.

@Lillput Mmm. This is one of the things I’m worried about. Windows 7 would probably be an interesting change, but Linux more me-compatible.

@Lillput @rbrwr @rabidbee They look good, but I’m so damn _bored_ of staring at Windows XP. And I want minimum fuss out of the box…

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@Lillput …although I may change my mind about OS choice, depending on the state of hardware and software at the moment.

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@Lillput Looks good, but probably want something more easy to get hold of with a Linux distro of some kind pre-installed.

@bertpalmer A netbook. An iPad would also be nice, but for different reasons, and less pressing ones.

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@megpickard I think you misunderstand my point :)

via Echofon in reply to megpickard

@goswoppit that would be an almost ideal solution, but I don’t think I can justify the extra thousand pounds.

via Echofon in reply to goswoppit

And no, I’m not buying Diet Coke instead, because according to the ad I saw this morning, it’s only for girls.

via Echofon

This bag is way too heavy. I really should get myself a netbook.

via Echofon

@BTCare Nope, I’ve never had BT broadband.

via Echofon in reply to BTCare

@Phooto quite literally, apparently

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@rabidbee Yay! This was mine. You can just about see the handle/cover.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Oh — and try Bing for the image search. The infinite scrolling results interface is nicer than Google’s.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee If it was like mine, “100 film camera” gets much better results than “compact film camera”.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Hmm. I had one of those. 110 film? Can’t remember if mine was maybe a Hanimex…

@majicDave Hear, hear. CSSEdit has saved me hours and hours of working out what tiny mistake I’ve made, over and over again.

via Echofon in reply to majicDave

Oh, _that’s_ why it’s so cold. A clock I forgot: the central heating timer.

@zinziii Hey, temptress, I’ve got to clean the bathroom and do my filing, stop trying to entice me with naughty websites!

via Echofon in reply to ZinziGraham

@Squonk Goodness, did you have one of those things, too? Tiny little silver plastic thing?

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@lilibaloo The bloke I voted for has emerged unscathed from expenses scandal, and also friended me on Facebook. Definitely in the lead!

via Echofon in reply to lilibaloo

@KaveyF I am resisting the temptation to look at what @asic69 said that elicited that reply.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@lilibaloo “Three way marginal”, though quite a bit majority to LibDem last time. http://bit.ly/aesflM

via Echofon in reply to lilibaloo

@xabl it does seem to have been very quiet the last few weeks.

via Echofon in reply to xabl

Hmm. Snow Leopard 10.6.3 is out. Anyway, yes, bathroom, clean, so forth.

via Echofon

@zinziii Yes, but I heard that if I loved it too often I’d go blind ;)

via Echofon in reply to ZinziGraham

Just been phone canvassed by the Labour Party. Too late, I realised I should have pretended indecision and ask them “what’s in it for me?”

via Echofon

@jcroft Yes, probably to stop us all feeling disappointed when we touch the iBooks icon and get told we’re second-class citizens.

via Echofon in reply to jcroft

@Squonk Don’t know if I’ve still got mine around, or if the sellotape holding the battery door finally gave out :)

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@jcroft Is iBooks available in all countries? I thought it was even doubtful for the UK… Maybe they count it as an optional app.

via Echofon in reply to jcroft

@hayles Kin Yip Hon? Need to go there soon to pick up more green tea — can check stock if you want, @talkie_tim!

via Echofon

@goswoppit Yeah, but that feels rather more tongue-in-cheek than the Coke ads!

via Echofon in reply to goswoppit

@talkie_tim I think @hayles has mentioned a local Mountain Dew supplier?

via Echofon in reply to talkie_tim

@Ffion1108 mmmm. Haven’t had a Yorkie for about a decade.

via Echofon in reply to Ffion1108

@tsunimee the whole damn thing looks pretty rubbish to me!

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@chris_j_hughes anyway. Must go, there’s a window-cleaner taking his shirt off outside.

via Echofon in reply to chris_coys

@chris_j_hughes Apart from the way it tastes different and never appears in our building. Clearly we’re all girls.
