@m1ke_ellis Good one. And I have exactly the right socks already. That’s going on The List.
Okay, so that’s votes for Wild Beasts, The Saturdays, and Bieber. And I don’t know enough about Bieber to know if that’s a joke or not.
Ping is recommending I follow 50 Cent and Cher. I’m not entirely convinced by this, so far.
@Cartblanch I just double-checked, and there is no Cher in my library. Wonder where it got that from.
Also, of the 53 artists it’s recommending I follow, I’ve not heard of 37 of them. And I don’t want to follow the others. #stalled
@hayles Yup. Think I will stick to last.fm. It requires a lot less work on my part, and produces really good results now.
@hayles Couldn’t actually see an easy way of listening to Ping’s recommendations’ actual _music_, which doesn’t help.
@benjohnbarnes Not if it doesn’t give me an easy way to find out what their music is like!
@benjohnbarnes Have you tried it? Maybe I’m missing something.
@fdr106 last.fm is very good for me. But I can’t remember how long it took to get good, watching my iTunes playback.
mrchrisaddison Koran-burning church is called the Dove World Outreach Centre? Wow. That’s like Save The Children declaring Kill A Kid Day.
@fdr106 You can exclude certain directories from being “scrobbled” - I exclude my “Buddha-trance programming background music” dirs!
@fdr106 You’ll also have to clear existing things out from the last.fm website, but it made a real difference for me - might be worth it!
@Chookooloonks Wear boots, and stay indoors.
@doctorow Did she drop down silently from the overhead locker to serve the drinks?
Who has some tips about how to survive international travel? #airports #hatehatehate
Writing up the Twitter travel advice I got earlier (thanks!) If you replied to me, would you mind if I quoted you on my blog?
@talkie_tim While true for many destinations, I’m not convinced that’s the case for Crete…
I should have probably mentioned that I don’t drink before asking for travel tips. I sense a theme emerging! #glug
@KellyJanner sadly, I have never managed to sleep on a flight. :(
Good tips on avoiding caffeine. I normally drink way too much coffee when I travel; probably doesn’t help!
@KellyJanner Hmm. Tried for six months doing that with “I sleep on my back.” Still can’t even get that to work :(
@Dru_Marland Bearing in mind my sketching skills, I should probably take a colouring book :)
@talkie_tim Hmm. 48 hours and I’m still not on the right island…
@hayles No. No, I do not.
@tsunimee A party? The end of the universe?
Tip: several levels deep into pages of the Twitter iPhone app, and want to get back home quickly? Swipe left-to-right along the top bar.
Well, that’s three votes for excellent fluffy clean socks. Maybe I should pack nothing but socks…
@tweeny4 No, different thing — *swipe* if you’ve clicked through five different screens, and want to get back to the home screen.
@ironicsans Bang!
@tweeny4 But also hard to explain clearly in 140 characters!
