Commuter train delayed some godawful while, caught the bus instead #publictransportwhine

obsessively re-listening the songs I missed while iTunes was on during lunch

3 bugzilla queues to check is at least one too many

So tired

Tired even though I’ve slept all night

#

playing “Force Unleashed”, stepson making derisive comments

link

#

Amazed at the number of people in the supermarket today, then remember payday was on Thursday

link

#

Waiting for the bus, bored by the TWIP photo podcast

link

#

I can’t believe I haven’t known about irssi’s Alt-a “switch to latest channel with activity” key combo. Lifesaver!

link

#

public transport foul-up – apparently my bus broke down and blocked the road. Now on bus 4, rocking along to Latin Quarter. Sun is shining!

link

#

middle aged woman on the tube reading Steven Erikson, wow

I need to get something to eat but I’m stressed and I have no appetite

#

Be seen dead in them outside though - mutton dressed as lamb

link

#

boring billboards galore

link

#

I love it how Americans say "pick up" when they mean "buy a $3,000 DSRL". So casual!

link

#

Rolling into Centralen

link

#

Resolved: DECLINED

link

#

damn forgot the stupid tech meeting @ 10

link

#

Nikkor 45mm P is still my fav lens. It’s a bit too long on crop and not really fast enough but i love it anyway

link

#

“Updating Inbox: (136 MB)” WTF

link

#

yay treasure trove of old Lloyd Cole videos on Youtube, including http://tinyurl.com/4wqafz

link

#

not for nothing was my 1994 motto ÃLloyd Cole Overdose”

link

link

#

link

#

no keepers today from the trek to the store, but felt good to be out shooting

link

careless crontab editing yesterday earned me a call :P

link

#

cool, textareas in Chrome are resizable

link

#

Read in Metro that the transport authority’s SMS tickets have been hacked… I had that thought as soon as I saw one. Simple checksum algo

link

#

time for bed

link

#

on call and alone at the support desk - not conductive for long term projects

Feck it’s getting dark early

link

#

here’s hoping the new Canon 5D2 will lead to a flood of used Nikon gear as the switchers switch back!

link

sweet, tab tearoff in Chrome

link

#

For the longest time this morning, the kid tried to fool us it was Mon, not Sun, and we’d overslept madly

link

#

Browsing thru today’s shots. No keepers, but I might return to a location and try again some other day
