@talkie_tim I haven’t played games much since I was very, very young. Now considering an Oculus Rift…

@talkie_tim No, no I hadn’t. But I have now. Not jealous. Not jealous at all. pic.twitter.com/Eb7nE0TiMl

(So few car drivers seem to know that one…)

HighwayCodeGB Watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way.

@talkie_tim Damn it. Are you playing Elite?

@xabl Wendy James had a very formative effect on my teenage years. I still retain some 12-inchers.

via Echofon in reply to xabl

Well, that was very fucking intuitive.

via Echofon

AHA! In iTunes Store home page, click “Purchased”, then find it under “Recent”, then click cloud icon. @bananza @AlasdairStuart @xabl

via Echofon in reply to bananza

@bananza Thanks, I’ll give it a go.

via Echofon in reply to bananza

@AlasdairStuart Trying to figure it out. I don’t have a “free” button, I have a greyed-out “purchased” button, but it’s not in my Library.

via Echofon in reply to AlasdairStuart

@bananza I’m trying, but it’s telling me I’ve already downloaded all purchases. But no new album under “U2”.

via Echofon in reply to bananza

@mikedunn It’s like being stalked by… a person who is not, as it turns out, particularly adept at writing terse prose, which surprised me.

via Echofon in reply to mikedunn

@mikedunn A Jeffrey Archer novel *and* the transformers movie. And they show up on every new device I buy.

via Echofon in reply to mikedunn

@tomasmcguinness “All purchases have been downloaded”

via Echofon in reply to tomasmcguinness

@xabl I have a “purchased” button, not a free button. But it doesn’t show up in my purchases.

via Echofon in reply to xabl

@bananza Yes, it does. But doesn’t that mean it should be in my library?

via Echofon in reply to bananza

@tomasmcguinness Well, me too. But if it’s purchased, shouldn’t it therefore be in my library somewhere?

via Echofon in reply to tomasmcguinness

(People complaining they don’t want a U2 album silently added to their library: I hear you. The Nexus 7 came with a Jeffrey Archer novel(!))

via Echofon

Erm. Having just been told the free U2 album is jangly—I’m a big fan of jangly—I now can’t work out how to get it. Sigh. Any iTunes clues?

via Echofon

@AlasdairStuart Oooh, I’m a big fan of jangly. But either I’ve had too many mojitos or I just can’t drive iTunes. No idea how to get it.

via Echofon in reply to AlasdairStuart

@corylus But was it “silent but deadly”? Letter of the law…

via Echofon in reply to corylus

@MarkSkinner_ …now is the time to stick labels with a phone number on all portable valuable stuff. Makes returning a lot easier.

via Echofon in reply to MarkSkinner_

@MarkSkinner_ Based on previous experience of that kind of thing, actually pretty good. Check with the local police. Also…

via Echofon in reply to MarkSkinner_

@benjohnbarnes Such as a run clock while you’re running? :D

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@MarkSkinner_ I’d have said so. Found it very pleasant so far.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to MarkSkinner_

@liveindetail Oh, poor old thing. Have seen both a pretty minty Scimitar and a Jensen Interceptor round here recently.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to liveindetail

@rob1cox @martingoode On the other hand, when I bought my Nexus 7 it came with the Transformers movie and a Jeffrey Archer novel.

via Echofon in reply to rob1cox

Ugh. Woke up with a headache. On my second coffee, taken with painkillers. It’s days like this where working from home is hard.

@ashfurrow Pretty sure that’s *exactly* the constant I’m using.

via Echofon in reply to ashfurrow

@shezza_t Ah! Yes, tzatziki! Hadn’t thought of that. And I’ve even got a cucumber in the fridge…

via Echofon in reply to shezza_t

@tomasmcguinness Cool. But, yeah, beware of background-download software updates draining your allowance while you’re not looking.

via Echofon in reply to tomasmcguinness

@tomasmcguinness Yup, but only for the dongle, so it’s mostly just used in cafes. But I mostly get faster speeds on it than on my home ADSL!

via Echofon in reply to tomasmcguinness

@shezza_t I already have the ingredients on my shopping list. My friends seem pretty quick to prescribe me alcohol :D

via Echofon in reply to shezza_t

@tomasmcguinness I love mine. But bear in mind that this is likely to be a week for heavy downloads in the Appleverse :D Mind the bandwidth!
