@theagilmore Follow who you find interesting. Twitter’s for you as well as your followers.
“NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen used his Twitter account to warn Russia…” Um. Somehow, that seems like the wrong medium.
sunny_hundal If Russia invades Ukraine, the USA and UK are bound by legal agreement to help. Here’s why bit.ly/NDfsjj
@hayles You found the source of the Bristol Hum!
@RellyAB See also: treble-checking every word, then sending the email from your weird personal email address rather than your company one.
@TheLikelyLad Don’t let anyone wobble your RAMpack.
Arse. Just walked into town to use the handy Post Office in the Co-Op on Baldwin Street. #bristol pic.twitter.com/NYw7Blibqz
My head hurts from learning. Lunchtime walk and a change of scene, I think.
@warriorgrrl …and I love the sound of these things. They’re quite well-separated: roughly equilateral triangle between them and my head.
@warriorgrrl Mostly as day-to-day computer speakers, but I do do a bit of recording and mixing of my own stuff. Enjoy fooling with audio…
@warriorgrrl I have a little pair of M-Audio studio monitors on my desk now and I’m *so* much happier :)
So, it makes a difference to have speakers in front of you as stereo pair, rather than having them both off to one side. Who’d’ve guessed?
@AthanSpod Cool, thanks.
@Phooto The last time I tried to get arbitrary podcasts syncing with Apple’s way, I nearly ended up in tears. “Easy” it was not.
@Phooto I could just spend £500 upgrading the Mini stereo to something that worked well with the phone. But not for < 4,000 miles a year!
@Phooto Ooop. I meant @marcoarment. (Sorry @marco! You must get that a lot…)
@Phooto I’m hoping that Overcast, the new podcast app @marco’s developing, might have some nice differentiating features to play with :)
@Phooto …which is great, but lacks the “play these ten things in my arbitrary order for this journey” I sometimes want.
@Phooto …but now I’ve not used iTunes syncing for ages, so I don’t know what the current best idea would be. I mostly just use Downcast…
@Phooto I swapped away from that when I realised the Podcasts app was here to stay, and it stopped you syncing non-smart Podcast playlists.
@Phooto Playlists in the Music app, or in a different podcast app?
@Phooto Yeah, but I’m very particular about the order I listen to stuff in on long journeys — no smart playlist solution for that.
@Phooto …simple functionality. Which was very handy with no stereo controls — I’d just queue up the podcasts I wanted in order.
@Phooto Since they broke it and moved to that fecking Podcasts app, I’ve tried lots of different alternatives and none of them have that…
@Phooto Back in the day, iTunes actually let you set up manually-ordered podcast playlists properly that synced with the phone. Sigh.
@Phooto …but I’d hope the technology had improved somewhat since those early days.
@Phooto Last time I tried “Navigate to Nicki’s house” using Siri I ended up (a) swearing and (b) using a paper map.
@Phooto But for the amount I drive it’s not worth upgrading the stereo to something from this decade with Bluetooth (or even an aux in.)
@Phooto Yeah, I’d go with a phone cradle thingy that stuck to the windscreen; works well enough for the satnav, and swaps between cars.
@AthanSpod Is it just me, or is fysh down? Ta.
@Phooto I’m clinging on to mine because the iPod stereo connection in the Mini still needs my phone to be in the glovebox! :)
