• 18:01 I sure @Aleksandr_Orlov been moonlighting doing voice for Tesla table in new PS3 game Zen Pinball! Is you Aleksandr? #
• 18:30 @timanderson Flash an open standard for the web? Gawd, I hope never... anyway, it's the codecs that count, not the player. #
• 19:04 Eurovision plan - We have is.gd/AtDS to hand. Eurovision has to be less fun than that for us to switch. :) #

• 10:38 Notices IronKey icon on Mac has a lot of transparent white space making it hard to click on. Wish people would spot that usability thing... #

• 09:05 @Mark_Antony What was your secret? Did you dope the refreshments? :) :) :) #

• 14:57 @glynmoody No Linux support! www.coolreaders.com/specifications.asp Oh the irony! :) #
• 15:26 @glynmoody Pity they don't mention that. Me, I'm betting on the next gen of OLED devices to do the eBook better. #

• 07:53 Bleh, morning.... and grey.... oh well.... #
• 09:18 Wants to find a patents wonk who's been parsing the EPO submissions... #

• 17:52 @rlancefield Say goodbye to your proprietary bits! #

• 14:01 @dhmorton You realise I will insist you come down and make me a gigapan of the garden :) #
• 14:52 @mike_elgan And that may well come with iPhone OS 3.0 considering it has parental controls. #
• 17:30 Is pondering "Should the label Open Source be treated like the label Organic?" #
• 19:44 @nichtsokleijn So thats er 2 features then... HTML5 support and the rather familiar private browsing :) #
• 20:05 @nichtsokleijn Refreshingly, nothing needs doing. <Phew> #

• 10:27 @dhmorton Captioned "If it was that phallic, could I do this eh?" #

• 21:08 @iain_allan It's a not overly stable Twitter client #
• 21:14 @iain_allan EEE PC 1000HE, currently running patched up Ubuntu 9.04 to get round the Intel graphics problem. Not a bad machine at all... #

• 11:11 @ABridgwater Verily, it seems stuffated.... #
• 12:07 I have decided to dub Novell's Moblin.... Noblin. "Got a netbook, we can nobble it for you" can be the slogan. :) #
• 12:16 @digitaldownfall But when you were in Rome, did you do as the Romans did? #
• 12:18 Stops Nambu again after another crash. Nambu dudes, reliability is like number 1 priority.... sorry #

• 08:44 Restores EEE 1000 (now named Winky after an irritating character in Manhunt in Space) to XP; will reinstall Ubuntu later... #
• 13:10 @MarthadM Not so much an end as an ignominious fall into the car crusher... #

• 14:40 New EEE PC now sports XP and Ubuntu 9.04... #
• 14:43 @glynmoody It's a EEE PC 1000HE and yes, this seems to be working pretty well with everything so far #
• 17:01 @linuxfoundation What kind of line length is that? Do you hate readability? #
• 17:39 @mattgemmell But "Top n [catagory of app] for [platform/OS]" where n>3 is even lazier :) #
• 22:18 @lproven But about that case you sold me.... :) #

• 09:31 @wendyg So instead of a biometric card, everything is on mobile phones.... er... way to go with economic disenfranchisement again :) #
• 09:49 @ju916 Because there may be one way bridges in wider network loops, and missing them misses the weak forces in the network? #
• 09:53 @sv "Girlsname"+"year" in Twitter id == Spammer at the moment :) #
• 10:06 @ABridgwater "People not moving to Linux because people not moving to Linux"... Come in 1997, your Desktop Linux talking point is calling :D #
• 10:09 Looking at this morning news feeds and wondering what to actually write about. #
• 10:11 @ABridgwater That's the point, people are moving to Linux... the problem now is that keeping them moved as some find it disappointing #
• 10:16 Irony.... Windows 7 RC download being managed by Java applet. #
• 10:32 @positennui I'd get the MacBooks fixed. :) #
• 10:37 @positennui You didn't Applecare them then? It's not like PC laptops are any easier to repair.... #
• 11:02 @positennui Macs, Windows and Linux. But Macs do the heavy lifting here... including running VMs of Windows, Linux, BSDs... #
• 14:14 @nichtsokleijn Standard sales FUD... Salesmen are probably doing the "Scary cold call" as we tweet... #
• 15:51 I have been accused of only ordering is.gd/wVDD so I can make jokes like "My knob is now in Barking".... #

• 16:20 @glynmoody Wishful thinking meets raw stats, whackiness ensues with classic "Well, other people use it more" anecdotal evaluation... :) #
• 16:25 @glynmoody Er, the original research was the stats analysis of 160 sites. Hardly anecdotal. The problem is the noise floor much > MoE #
• 16:40 @glynmoody Systemic bias is not "doesn't count sites that cater for Linux users" :) #
• 16:44 @glynmoody (At least when you are sampling the general population... btw, same site gave 20% firefox market share in Nov)... #
• 16:59 @glynmoody That'll be why Jon Lilly called that stat "A signifigant milestone".... #
• 17:00 @glynmoody So how does Firefox show 20% then? Eh Eh? #

• 08:16 @digitaldownfall Just played with. It's not buyable yet. Roll on the Samsung.... #
• 17:02 RT @c64glen: C64 codebase wiki codebase64.org/ - Sweet stuff for old-64ers #

• 14:51 Gig card shoved in Dell 530... thats more like it for a file server... #
• 15:11 Prods DVB-T under Mandriva and KDE... hmm.... #
• 15:52 @giagia Well more a "Oh gosh, aren't I following... bad me" moment.... #
• 16:03 Played with HTC Magic - Nearly nice... felt little plasticy... but no headphone socket is a fail for me. #

• 09:00 @mattgemmell For your fingers? You still have the double/triple issue with third party headphones... #
• 09:05 @mattgemmell You might think that, but all the ons I have seen just have a single button #
• 09:05 @mattgemmell What you need is Da Rhythm! :) #
• 11:31 @girlonetrack Um but isn't 'roasting' a very specific act... hence the term. #
• 14:37 @alanfleming is it rubbish? :) #
• 15:54 @ruskin147 A viral is a thing which people look at, a meme encourages people to make their own thing based on a common idea... #
• 16:16 @rupertg Oh but so nice ... but it's all about the knob - is.gd/vSe0 #

• 15:45 @sbisson "New auth plug in - now full of something authful" #

• 10:49 @glynmoody Well, without prior art, there's no grounds to challenge. It's pretty much all they can do is ask for prior art. #
• 10:53 @glynmoody One would guess the delay was the OIN ringing round its members asking if they had prior art. #
• 11:01 @glynmoody Well, you are probably dealing with lawyers and legal counsel, so it's all on "legal time" #

• 15:40 Just showing graham tweetie twitpic.com/45ot9 #
• 19:30 A security exhibtion.... a room full of people trying to sell you an abstract concept.... #

• 09:23 @glynmoody Better? Sorry, just I'm already used to restoring windows under Safari. I'd prefer features like "chews less memory" for 3.5 :) #
• 09:31 @glynmoody Toys and bling in the Netscape browser are exactly what lead to someone doing Firefox in the first place :D #
• 10:38 @glynmoody Or you could have caught that news last week - www.h-online.com/security/BIND-10-starts-development--/news/113137 #
• 10:55 @glynmoody Of course the browser that rises from the ashes may not even be a browser as we know it #
• 10:56 @glynmoody I'm doing a sweet free deal on our RSS feed www.h-online.com/grand-atom.xml :) #

• 08:38 Yellow shiny burny thing in sky.... what *is* that? #
• 13:42 @mattgemmell As a (now) member of the press, can I assure you we don't all misquote... #
• 13:56 @mattgemmell Of course not, this is off the record isn't it. :) #

• 07:59 @skinnermike Ah, brave new future where your computer has a cold and doesn't want to come out of sleep :) #
• 08:01 @ramtops I think it was a little OTT to install that Wallace and Gromit bed catapult just for possible Anne Atkins broadcasts..... #
• 08:33 @iainfarrell Hmm... no... I'll be glad to hear the News Quiz next week which does the news, not Merton's wimsey + Hislop's hypo-bile #

• 07:59 Hi to the twitterers I met at the Ubuntu Jaunty launch - @opensourcerer, @rlancefield et al... #
• 08:04 @ABridgwater Yes... Mr Shuttleworth, Jono Bacon, @ivanka, and lots of Canonical folks and others were there. #
• 08:17 @sscullion Check down the back of the sofa.... #
• 08:39 @sscullion OMG! It's full of weeks! :) #
• 11:53 Finding Ubuntu 9.04+ATI driver == Spinny CPU and locked up display preferences on his Dell #
• 12:12 @rupertg ATI Proprietary driver that is. At least the display settings app can be killed and turning off the prop driver brings sanity. #
• 12:17 RT @glynmoody: Greater London Open Source Writers meetup on Monday 27th of April at 7pm bit.ly/19i8S7 ... #
• 12:18 @glynmoody Interesting... your tweet was too long to retweet... (thinks... is 120 characters the length of a retweetable tweet) #
• 12:19 @Maxicom See you there then! :) #
• 12:28 @tug @glynmoody thats a simple idea which could work better #
• 12:58 My Twitter personality: popular inquisitive cautious My style: chatty coherent SOCIALITE twanalyst.com/codepope - SOCIALITE???! #

• 14:29 @rupertg Three consonants at the start of the company name says that getting the hang of english will be a long time coming :) #
• 15:13 @Aleksandr_Orlov Make sure Sergei leave mobile phone and pager at office... you want him to enjoy balloon #

• 08:00 Another day, another Linux release, another "Find the bugs" funola, then off to the Ubuntu launch party. Oh and writing news. #
• 09:29 @girlonetrack I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous..... <baboom tish> I'm here all week, try the fish.... #
• 13:49 @glynmoody Copyright is half the game. The other half is the name (and the trademark). That's not GPLd... ask Sun about that. :) #
• 13:59 @webmink Nobody expects the open source inquisition, our three weapons are copyright,trademarks, committers and community... #
• 15:05 @iain_allan OS launched now... Launch Party tonight at 7pm at The Warwick #
• 15:10 @glynmoody People resist changing brands. Doesn't matter how witty the new name is.... #
• 16:34 @glynmoody ndiswrapper won't work! :) #

• 08:45 Is pleased to get tinyurl.com/dghmfg online... open source and gold :) #
• 16:30 Currently very very very unhappy.... May have to break out the cluebat with the nails in it. #
• 19:15 @paul_clarke NTSC disc and a PAL only TV? #

• 14:38 Gah, Firefox has taken to randomly blocking popups on sites that are allowed to block popups. #
• 17:32 @p4ula Gazes at shoes, does a shuffly dance, shuffles into wall... ouchie... #

• 09:33 Remember to GLOW next Monday! - tinyurl.com/d5kq3q #
• 12:05 @atebits What ads? Where? #
• 12:39 @leisa My rule of thumb for usability... ask WWAD (What would Apple do)... Well, it seems to work. #
• 12:42 @leisa (That's tiny test groups and one focussed vision with a human with the power to say "No, not good enough") #
• 13:17 @bensummers Well, not anyone friendly. :) #
• 13:40 @Aleksandr_Orlov You still to master the "Knock Knock" joke or is this anecdote about web designers being let out of cellar? #
• 13:48 On the plus side. Sun not bought by IBM... OpenOffice.org will not be converted into IBM's Cacophony, but what will OracleOffice be like... #
• 14:00 @iainfarrell Nice link... put it straight in my play.com basket! :) You on commission then? #
• 14:02 @pibbotson Forking, but what of the future MySQL ecosystem... #
• 14:05 @charltonbrooker I been meaning to ask... why's the Newswipe desk a cut and shut version of a TV news programmes desk? #
• 14:17 @nomine <Applause> #
• 15:08 I wish Oracle had acquired Debian, not Sun. Then we could write about the software powerhouse that is Debacle.... #
• 15:08 I guess I'll have to stick with writing stories about The Man From Suncle.... #
• 15:25 @wendyg Luminaries can leave corporations though.... it's not like Oracle acquired them. #
• 15:27 @hotdogsladies Which Dexy's though? Come on Eileen era or Don't Stand Me Down* era? #
• 17:26 @IdentityWoman #whoareyouwhodoyoutrust ? (or was that for Crusade fans) #
• 18:03 Oh this makes me giggle - www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE53J3EZ20090420 #

• 11:36 @ivanka You *found* the manager?! :) #
• 18:44 @rupertg Visible changes beyond the usual upgrades... Notifications. Um... #
• 18:54 @glynmoody I reserve judgement on that till it manages a WPA2 connection on the EEE901 #

• 14:17 Nice walk out. Returned with a ten socket tower plug #
• 14:18 Let the rewiriing of the rats nest behind these two machines begin :) #
• 16:24 Rats nest removed. New organised rats nest installed. Johnny cable a tricky old chap en masse.... #

• 09:04 @ABridgwater No, everyone is vulnerable. There's no native payload in the worm; it takes over your account and tweets as you to spread #
• 09:06 @ABridgwater Safest thing to do is to not use Twitter on the web, don't view other users twitter profiles. Hard with shortened URLs but.... #
• 09:50 Seems Mikeyy has changed its message pattern and in now posting fake "breakingnews" retweets #
• 09:56 Other infected Mikey tweets include "Hire Mikeyy". Seems that the messages are changing on the fly #
• 10:08 Damn it's hard keeping in a clean browser to look at Mikey #
• 10:31 @hotdogsladies Misread that as late jizz which gave even more disturbing images.... #
• 12:35 @webmink But it's not the operating system that gets dirty. The problem is making sure untrusted links go to the sandbox in normal use. #

• 11:09 Writes up the "Things that happened this week" post... #
• 11:09 /me looks at list of things to do before he goes to Hanover tuesday... <sigh> #
• 14:55 @p4ula I'm saving power by er.... simple run length compression and deduplication. #
• 15:02 @glynmoody Nobody who I know says it. Architectures and design are the things that do or do not scale. #
• 15:48 @glynmoody (codepope stops panicing.... thought it was a bit early for the inevitable coup at #glow) #

• 07:39 @Casablanca Was a good evening, only marred by no Northern Line home. Ach! #
• 08:45 @urbanvox I hope the game in question is Mouse Trap! #
• 09:16 @urbanvox Rolled a double six and currently on the community chest. #

• 07:51 @glynmoody A very good question. I suspect it's to make people use Linux by making them go "NO NO don't show me THE AD again" :) #

• 13:19 @dhmorton Tis a mystery.... I'm hoping for a mini-displayport to displayport cable :D #
• 13:44 @stevekennedyuk Very shiny though. I like the option for an internal SSD, keeping the drive bays for spinning media. #
• 14:59 @bensummers Isn't that sweet of them.... Altruism at it's finest.... :) #
• 18:18 @webmink What? Rats and two way television and always at war with Eastasia? #

• 12:59 @ABridgwater Who knew no software is written to create drag and drop coding environments... #
• 18:16 @nikrosser Are you spelling it because your poorly cat has a twitter account? #
• 21:37 Just trying out Nambu.... Interesting. Very Interesting. #
• 21:43 @FrasSmith It seems to have a lot going for it. The columnness of tweetdeck, a compact combined view... liking. #
• 21:54 has been handed yummy chocolate... now zoning out to America's Next Top Model... Yeah, what of it :) #
• 22:03 @dhmorton Oh they have plenty to do to get out of beta with honor :) #

• 11:15 Seems I have a fluttery drive post the power popping the other night. Oh well. #

• 09:30 @skinnermike All of them. #
• 11:36 @glynmoody Probably a spam-relative of is.gd/oRN3 #

• 14:58 @digitaldownfall BACK TO WORK DRONE! #
• 15:51 Twitter has added PIN authentication for international SMS updates - is.gd/ocRi - Set your PIN code now if you SMS update Twitter #

• 10:06 @glynmoody That is it say it's a style of proprietary licence, like an escrow clause on steroids. #
