forgot a camera. I foresee marvelous photo ops today :P

#

stupid iPhone won’t use the same format as Outlook when replying ot messages so a new thread is started when people reply

link

#

koehntopp: Outlook threading works OK for me, as long as you use “RE:" (yeah I know it’s wrong :) )

link

#

I’ve been using a phone for email since 2004 but it’s only now w/ the iPhone that everyone else is discovering the greatness

link

#

great, one of my cores is pegged at ~98% again, leading to choppy audio playback. Only help is a restart. Why? #winfail

#

Posterous is a bit too minimal. I’d like to be able to attach stuff from the web interface

link

#

crappily edited and badly focused youtube videos seem to be de rigeur for wristwatch reviews

link

#

lunch at local Indian place… feel a bit bloated

link

#

great, turned out I have had the camera in my bag all day without knowing

link

#

I had three recipes to choose from, took the one where I thought we had all the ingredients. Turned out I was wrong. No green pea pesto …

link

#

gah should really fix my LinkedIn profile…

#

I can’t belive Leo would rather do homework than play ODST co-op

link

#

thanks apple for claiming my ipod is “corrupted”

link

#

itunes + quicktime 9.0.1 install is sloooow. how come no-one mentions this bloatware crap in reviews?

link

#

looks like I’ll have to resync my ipod after all. Thanks Apple for a wonderful user experience :P

link

#

I’m in a catch 22, when I connect the iPod iTunes freezes, it’s only when i disconnect it that it says I have to reformat it.. uh, how?

link

#

finally had to put the ’pod in disk mode and then i could restore

link

#

kinda wrongfooted in the lunch department

link

#

At Subways getting a special

link

#

played some Halo ODST this weekend, it’s way too easy on Normal difficulty. Or maybe I’m just too good ;)

link

#

calling Dell about another Latitude D630 motherboard failure

link

#

Delicious chicken is delicious. Try telling that to my son though :P

link

#

Halo 3: ODST finished on Normal. Don’t tell Leo ;)

link

#

looking at Flickr’s Explore section, a lot of middle-of-the-road #photog there… also female self-portraits

link

#

not gonna read tonight’s Twitter backlog, life’s too short…

link

#

started using Google Calendar, pretty useful now that I can sync it to work’s Outlook

link

#

put up the new drapes, a fiddly and frustrating process. Also they don;t quite cover the entire window :P

link

#

Off for sushi with 2 glasses of yesterday’s #bday Pommery in me #win

link

#

I should take this opportunity to play some “Halo: ODST” but I’ve got a couple of units of booze in me and will suck mightily at it

link

#

2009 has 3 Friday 13’s: Feb, Mar and Nov. Tempted to write a script to check if this is unusually many

link

#

stupid Hunters in ODST are making me mad

link

#

one of the advantages of having fixed a new gig is not having to dive into LinkedIn and tend that social garden…

link

#

ok, my little Flickr export/display project is more or less done… now what?

link

#

vem är det som sjunger Bellman i anti-alkoholreklamen på TV just nu? Låter som Olle Ljungström #fb

pretty happy with my new #Freitag bag, pics forthcoming #bday

link

#

my bag http://is.gd/3EYIF

link

#

To all my wellwishers today, thank you all! #fb

link

#

ok now planning on mailing all my flickr pics to Gmail for “backup”. Just need to make sure I don’t get flagged as a spammer

link

#

relaxing with a cuppa

link

#

my attempts at blue-hour photography were stymied by my lack of knowledge on how BULB works on the RB67 #photog #fail

link

#

ironically, #Gmail was more reliable when they were in beta #fail

link

#

home again with Viking, who has strep throat

link

#

gotta say that Chase Jarvis embracing the iPhone is a breath of fresh air in hothouse world of #photog

link

#

finally got some traction in the RDF extraction from the data Net::Flickr::Backup generates

link

#

retroactively re-tagging my pics based on the ones I’ve used in Flickr. Only took me a weekend’s coding to get them out :P #photog

link

#

not a fan of RDF anymore. Stupid format grumble

link

#

I had a lot of fun in summer of 2007 when I first got my Nikon D40. I also took a lot of crap photos #photog

link

#

feels like a good idea to back up my images now…

link

#

RDF/XML is driving me fscking nuts, I need to rethink my entire approach

link

#

oh yes, before I forget, OpenOffice Spreadlegs still sucks rotten donkey balls. It’s an embarrasment

link

#

intressant att dom designers som “drabbas” är sedan länge döda (dessutom kvasifascister, men det hör inte hit ;)) http://is.gd/3weOW #dn #fb

link

#

förstärkt mönsterskydd för möbler skulle bara drabba nya designers som skulle stämmas av dom stora rättsinnehavarna för “intrång”

link

#

det skulle föga hjälpa dom som “drabbas” i nuläget. Vem driver denna kampanj i DN? Immaterialrättslobbyn har öppnat en ny front

link

#

Hmmm time to learn some RDF I think

link

I still can’t believe I bitched about Wordpress one day and I’ve spent the last 2 days upgrading WP blogs

link

#

yes! Finally got my MF scans from Crimson

link

#

feeling less homicidal towards Wordpress after 3 succesful upgrades. It’s quite the package!

link

#

wow, Wordpress in French…

link

#

only €5000 for the Leica M9? My credit card can swing that!

link

#

if you have phpMyAdmin access to your WP install, resetting a password is dead easy

link

#

oh yeah, today wasn’t just Leica day, right? Some other company is having some sort of presentation

link

#

how come the Twitter “Sign in” button is much less prominent than the giant “Join” button?

link

#

always nice to get a comment on my shots. Thanks, @hult! http://gustaf.symbiandiaries.com/weblog/photo/Platform.html

#

classic, Apple presentation and Twitter dies

great, as karmic retribution for slagging Wordpress yesterday I’ve been tasked with upgrading our production blogs, hosted externally…

.@Veidit The Wordpress world is so far a desolate wasteland, filled with the stench of blood and the screams of the tormented!

happy happy joy joy I’m on call this week

I have to get a lunch from a restaurant today because I foolishly stored my box lunch in a #WordPress install and hackers stole it!

nice, Spotify coming for S60: http://bit.ly/3iJK0Q

#

tried using BT to sync the E71 but it was an exercise in futility

link

#

#

gnäll om att Spotify funkar dåligt på iPhone är definitivt dagens i-världsproblem #fb

link

#

chili con carne + coleslaw = yum

link

#

huh trying to access gmail gives a redirect loop (Google Chrome on Linux). Wazzup with that?

link

#

how weird is this, 2 consecutive tweets in 2 different languages mention Def Leppard… is it a meme thang??
