@davidwalshblog If you disable Javascript on your page, it works. Something odd with a script? (Also: you have two <body> elements!?)

RT @JonCraig_Photos: Lorry pic.twitter.com/lzd2XF36z7 Ah, *that’s* where it is. See why I was worried that CREATE Centre might be aflame.

Home. Considering going out for a walk with the camera, but I’m not sure a truck fire is really my kind of subject.

via Echofon

Though they have apparently moved the lorry to somewhere around CREATE, as that’s what I thought was on fire, initially…

via Echofon

Avoid the area, folks. I wouldn’t be tweeting while “driving” without the handbrake on & engine off.

@ahnlak I still have one, though I don’t wear it much. I like idea of the quartz self-winders, but never seem to like the *looks* of them

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak It’s exceptionally over-designered, isn’t it? But the watch looks fucking cool.

@ahnlak Battery life is why the Activité (withings.com/activite/en-US) is the only wearable I might be tempted by…)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

HilaryCarden Can you recommend someone in Bristol who can help me with the design of an info-graphic type thingy please?

@ahnlak (Though you can make that choice with iOS, as the hardware is standard enough for “juice packs” to be worth making.)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Yeah. Problem seems to be that they’ve gone for increasing the other two dimensions, thus sucking proportionally more battery.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Was an Italian team, I think, who had battery that lasted as long as current ones, but fully charged from flat in couple of minutes.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Yeah. Batteries really need to f’ing evolve. Though I saw an interesting take on fixing that recently…

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Yeah. Rince was on his pre-war Nokia at the weekend, on his seventh day without charging… :)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak I had to debug someone’s Android phone recently because they’d installed a “battery saving” app that was killing other things. Sigh.

@ahnlak Let’s work on the internet licence scheme first.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak (In that you’re much more likely to find battery-sucking Android apps in general use, as they’re just much more prevalent/allowed.)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak I’d say this is one of those areas where iOS is better for people who don’t know what they’re doing.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

As a complement to that, here’s a less geeky, but still excellent, article on how to solve iOS battery drain issues: overthought.org/blog/2014/the-…

@G2Bristol I just saw someone doing it, so I figured it bore repeating.

Why “killing” your “running” iOS apps doesn’t actually do what you think: speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/… (by @fraserspeirs)
