Finally gotten around to watching The Guild… it’s funny!
For some reason, I’ve got a hankering for Pinot Noir (evil @doublesided).
You know that scene in Jurassic Park where the velociraptors learn to open doors? My 2 year old has just learnt that trick (similar results)
And to horrify the librarian types out there, lil miss 2yo has also discovered she can rip books into shreds. We are unamused by this trick.
shit, I just discovered what happens when you update the f/w on a jailbroken iPhone. Now I need to remember what Cydia apps I’d installed
so if I understand jailbreaking correct, each time a firmware update comes out, i have to do the iTunes update then run the latest QuickPwn?
Just a little excited that they’re making a Green Lantern movie. And I know who’d make the perfect Hal Jordan GL… Martin Henderson ;-)
Irony: a CEO going to the Auckland Job Summit to talk about protecting jobs, when his organisation is currently offshoring roles to India.
Ye gods, somehow I’ve gotten a little addicted to Project Runway. I may need an intervention.
New #Tweetup: Black Friday Wellington Tweetup, RSVP here: http://twtvite.com/cifet6 Note: this is a change of venue from Mighty Mighty.
YES, I’m going to http://twtvite.com/cvhg7h (Wellington tweetup on Mar 13, 2009)
Wgtn Tweetup (13/03) folks… appears that HLAH is at Mighty Mighty that night from 9pm… new venue or still okay for a kickoff point?
Friday fun is *not* having someone from a source system ring and ask if purging 100k records will impact us much. 4hrs later we say YES!
Days like today give me d12 damage +2 critical hits. Yeesh!
RT @che_tibby: jesus can save you. http://tinyurl.com/czt94k. christians helping cure homosexuality. (I laughed)
Happiness prevails… our bikkie order had come in and we had Tim-Tams in the freezer :-))
why oh why didn’t I buy chocolate to follow my lunch? [sad face]
Bought a #pie… Murphy’s Law of Pastry Thermodynamics applies i.e. the temperature of a pie will be exponentially greater than your hunger
Getting lunch. That churning in my stomach is either hunger or a work-based ulcer forming.
Hmm, definitely a coffee morning (isn’t every morning?) Will shoot down to Mojo OBA in half an hour.
and btw, if you see nose prints and maybe a little drool on the windows of the Apple shop on Lambton, that’d be me :-)
WTF Microsoft Xbox team? http://is.gd/kQ6K What’s next, burning witches at the stake?
ah, the best-laid plans… workmates dragged me out to another cafe. Supreme Coffee? I feel like I’ve been unfaithful now
The Polyphonic Spree make me feel like a dirty hippy, and I kinda like it! ♫ http://blip.fm/~2h0vh
Indie’s a bit tough to define… usually independent bands who’ve signed to small labels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock
The C&C music was okay… the singer’s voice grated. I did like the Avenged song - quite Mike Pattonish :-)
Checkin’ out a recommendation from @Pebblesy. ♫ http://blip.fm/~2h0ac
Seriously impressed by the speed of Safari 4
Perhaps unsurprising but Tomato Sauce & Mince Pie is a disturbingly odd flavour for chippies. Undecided if good or bad yet.
rt @SilkCharm #nocleanfeed SCRAPPED http://twurl.nl/pcinzl “The Government’s plan to introduce mandatory net censorship has been scuttled”
And so it begins… Kitchen House has gone into receivership.
Is anyone else noticing 3G issues on @vodafonenz around Lambton/Featherston in Wgtn this week - today in particular?
Don’t you hate it when your role’s evolved into something that’s made it bloody difficult to work out where to next on the career path?
RT @BRIANMBENDIS: Jackson set for ‘Iron Man 2’: Film News: Actor signs long-term deal to play Nick Fury. http://tinyurl.com/bkdqyl (w00t!)
It’s official… @Pebblesy’s lost the plot!
What crack was this guy on? http://tinyurl.com/cz77sk
Tried a bit more Fallout 3 last night (I’m in the Museum of Technology part now)… I’m struggling to be engaged by it.
Sigh, another email received from Apple taunting me with their unaffordable (for me) Macness. It’s official, I want to make the switch!
Right, I need some new sounds… recommendations anyone? (my last.fm profile for reference http://bit.ly/r7dlT)
Massively undecided if I prefer the John Lennon or A Perfect Circle version of “Imagine” - each has something to offer.
I do know that Dolly Parton is going to a special part of hell for her version of “Imagine”. My ears may never recover.
Small print on Coke Zero can: “Listen closely & hear the happiness being unleashed when you open this can”. WTF? I want these drugs too.
RT @brightkite some good points on the differences between Brightkite and Twitter by @EmperorNorton http://paxnortona.notfrisco2.com/?p=6109
Watching Lost… I seriously wish Hurley would cut that greasy-arse long hair.
2) after Leonard Cohen spent a year perfecting his song, you think he’d be a bit pissed that someone else improved on it to the nth degree
Two thoughts spring to mind when hearing Jeff Buckley’s cover of “Hallelujah”. 1) it’s one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever…
Has anyone else noticed their iPhone internet playing up since the last update? Not a lack of signal, but the wheel just spins - reboot fixs
WTF? The @twitter helpdesk closed my support issue (9923) as solved when it hasn’t been. Gah!
Sometimes I wonder why Apple can’t do a port of Apple Mail to Windows (like Safari). I’d so prefer to use that than the usual offerings.
Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you get to cut in front of the lift queue. Shut her head in the doors a few times, much happier!
