360 has come back un-repaired from the *paid* repair service, and Halo Wars has a big scratch 80% all the way around the inside of the disc!
Christ, why is it so hard to sign up for an MSN or Yahoo account to access their API’s? Both have ridiculous barriers set-up that prevent it
Just warned three kids off chasing a fox and prodding it in the street. I saved lives today.
-@kennymeyers It was a toss up between halting the next possible Indiana Jones, or stopping a premature death. I chose the latter.
Requiem for a dream, a truly excellent and legendary film.
Really wish @rackspace would have something lower than $100/month available for the cloud sites hosting. I’d sign up instantly.
True, the cloud servers are likely the better solution. Though I’m looking for a great scaled managed solution, rather than set-up myself

I admire Tommy Haas for staying out on the court and playing with the ball girls and boys after his opponent retired: http://tr.im/pHyN
A moth the size of godzilla just came out from under my desk and was sent out the window to a large thud from Dave. #painfulforthemoth
Ridiculous. @msofficeus is using Word to render emails in Outlook, killing standards support. See http://fixoutlook.org and RT

RT @ditlev: Look what we are building using the VPS.NET API’s: http://ow.ly/ftlX (love the look of this!)
RT @notasausage: Overheard: “That’s not ‘take me home to mom’ hot, but it’s ‘let’s do this for 3 months’ hot.”
Beer, check. Music, check. Pornstar Ramirez, check. Ready to get into the ‘should be in bed, but working until ungodly hours’ work stretch.
RSS Feed hunting, looking to increase my collection now it’s much easier to manage with Fever. Any recommendations?
Become a fan of: “I don’t sleep enough because I stay up late for no reason”, “I Hate Private Number Calls”. Facebook officially died today.
Just had an absolutely brilliant idea for a web application. Absolutely brilliant, guaranteed market for it and entirely untapped… #wahoo

Can’t wait for someone to come up with an auto-update for the Mint stats script by @shauninman. It would be the perfect feature.
Cancelled my vps.net account after two days. It’s just not the service for me, too much work needed for what I wanted.
I seriously hope I’m not being charged for all these vps.net deletions and installs in my effort to find PHP 5.2+ on a LAMP install :)
You have got to be kidding Microsoft: http://tr.im/oX2D
Giving @shauninman’s Fever a try for handling my feed reading. Loving it so far, as it’s saving me a lot of time: http://tr.im/oW0P
Definitely releasing some Wordpress plug-ins the near future, after the release of my new design/site. Far too many of them laying around :)
R.E. iPhone OS 3.0 - it would have been nice to have seen imports of audio, video and images stored on @o2 servers sent to me by MMS.

Foreign headhunters calling from China representing an English company. Now that’s a new one! Wonder what the logic is there… #outsourcing
My favourite client @pantstopoverty are now on Twitter. Everyone should buy a pair of their beautifully ethical pants :)
Love the new daily digest feature for Basecamp: http://tr.im/oynC
Anyone else think “please allow me to see when you are online” from Skype is a little bit stalker-ish?
Put forward a fairly humorous proposal for a new web development/design book to @packtpub today.
RT @packtpub: New book announced today: #Magento 1.3 Theme Design, by Richard Carter: http://bit.ly/Yt20q
Verdict: Terminator good, not anywhere near as bad as people were making out, the Terminator worshippers. Star Trek was brilliant, loved it.
Terminator salvation then star trek tonight. Will either live up to the hype?

New blog post: “Because it’s what the client wants”, http://bit.ly/wG41w
“Because it’s what the client wants” →
This is likely the most often used excuse for giving the client something you don’t want to give them. To give them something that in your best opinion isn’t what they want at all. As developers, or…
Microsoft’s aim shouldn’t be to take people away from Symantec and McAfee, but to simply protect the operating system: http://tr.im/onz0
Grabbed facebook.com/jhuskisson - though I was tempted to go for /facebooklegend
Hosting choice: vps.net or slicehost.com ?
If @mosso were in the UK rather than the US, I’d likely be hosted on it right now.
