@MandinaM I don’t know, but when you catch up with them, please get mine back, too.

@Phooto Yes, and you can rent TV shows on it in the US, too. This is a media industry legal problem, not a tech problem :)

@Phooto Anything confirmed? “Sometime in 2012” has been a vague speculation since the ATV2 launched…

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Bearing in mind I’m pretty sure you can’t even rent TV shows on the UK Apple TV, I doubt Netflix is an option.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto That would require me buying an iPad. I have an Apple TV, and I’ve never seen a Netflix option.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto The Apple TV streams Netflix? What, in the UK?

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@KaveyF Well-formed. As opposed to valid. It’s a long story, and not very interesting.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Actually, it doesn’t need a DOCTYPE if it’s not HTML. <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”><pedantic>This is well-formed.</pedantic>

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Just count yourself lucky Twitter doesn’t have enough characters for a DOCTYPE declaration.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF <very-sad-observation>It wouldn’t have been well-formed XML if I hadn’t.</very-sad-observation>

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@Phooto Yes, but then you’d need another shed for the tandoor :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto I’m not saying I’d pay ten grand for it. But if someone offered me one for Christmas and I had somewhere to put it… :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Jorence Me too. Sadly, though, I’d need (a) a garden, and (b) at £10,890, to wait for the cheap IKEA version to come out. (SHĖDD?)

@KaveyF <evil-genius>ANYWHERE! ANYWHERE I WANTED! BWAHAHA!</evil-genius>

I think I’ve found the answer to my distraction problems. patrickrhone.com/2011/12/19/mic…

@Thehappyfatgirl Well, buy one for me while you’re there :D

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@Thehappyfatgirl From the metadata, that would be the Canon EF 24-105 “L”. And I would like one, too :)

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

Oooh, it’s the coffee I buy from those nice @extractcoffee people, photographed by my friend Simon. Lovely shot! flic.kr/p/aXPrE2

@BristolBites Erm — did you know something’s tweeting on your behalf with random trending hashtags attached?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BristolBites

@siracusa I hate that. The signature of bad design, in this case, being the invisible dividing line between “can drag” and “can’t drag.”

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to siracusa

I started my Christmas shopping today. By way of celebration I’m now readying popcorn and _The King’s Speech_.

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays I have just randomly bumped into Mandy in the Guild cafe!

via Tweetbot for iOS

@matt_fwyalchen Having now calmed down a bit from my jinglemusic-inspired stabby anger, I find myself unsurprised by that.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to matt_fwyalchen

@redlegoman And also rather a long way round compared to the old way of doing things, which I’d be happy to continue for podcasts. Bah.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to redlegoman

Oh, Guild, what an oasis you are, free from terrible Christmas music. *heads for cafe*.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@redlegoman Yur. It all gets quite fiddly and complicated, I’m afraid.

via Echofon in reply to redlegoman

@redlegoman It’s because my iPod connector is in my glove compartment and my stereo just plays playlists that led me to do it my way.

via Echofon in reply to redlegoman

@redlegoman (Full rant about how it doesn’t work any more here: gothick.org.uk/2011/12/16/itu… for your delectation :) )

via Echofon in reply to redlegoman

@redlegoman As in, just make a new playlist and drag podcast episodes into it, yeah.

via Echofon in reply to redlegoman

@redlegoman On the downside, the fact I can’t now sync manual playlists of podcasts is very annoying.

via Echofon in reply to redlegoman

@redlegoman Yur. Quite enjoying it. And not feeling like I’m bumping hard up against my 16GB of memory, too.
