On This Day, 27 August

Dailybooth's random will-it-won't-it maybe-I'll-upload-your-photo process is incredibly annoying at times. Sigh.

Ooh. Excuse me while I have a brief moment of espresso machine envy. http://bit.ly/bAVF1c

@archidave Noice

@Nose_in_a_book And they used to be so much nicer before the smoking ban. Sigh.

@stillawake I'd go have a look, but my ferry's just coming! There's a link to the times on www.librarieswest.org.uk if that's any help.

@globalmoxie I tried it, but the basics didn't work as well as Echofon, which I still like for a simple desktop client.

@ianoxley The Null Terminator #developermovies

@R2UK That would be @vaultpress, by Automattic. It's still a beta, but sign up and smile at them nicely and who knows what'll happen ;)

@nyssapod @ruskin147 Mine, ordered 1 August, I think, still has no expected delivery date. The leather case arrived yesterday, though!

Dentist done. Now off for my traditional ironic celebration of coffee and pastry.

@DrHairbear I am aware just how lucky I am in that respect.

At the dentist. Which is not something that's ever bothered me much, luckily. 37, and still no fillings.

Hmm. Why is it "grey" in my brain, but not "greyscale"? It's "grey" and "grayscale", which seems oddly inconsistent. #spelling #musings

@Support In the iPhone client, is there any way of removing tweets from people I've blocked & reported for spam from my replies list? Ta.

@bananza I wasn't, but I will be now :) Thanks!

@bananza cool, that sound close to what I'm managing.

@tsunimee yup, wish I could have gone. Not to offer moral support, you understand, just to sample as many things as I could get away with ;)

@bananza what's the equivalent of 5.0 if you're not using a treadmill? ;) Not sure I could get slower, anyway! http://bit.ly/6lEVt

@tsunimee @ahnlak and @KaveyF are doing this: http://bit.ly/umnSU ;)

Love the way skinnyr.com shows total weight for all users. They currently have 4,747,722lbs of humans signed up ;)

@kaveyf Good luck at the Covent Garden Real Food Market today! http://bit.ly/umnSU. London followers, please go say hi! ;)

@chrismarquardt But I've got to wonder how a hotel hasn't _already_ put measures in place to stop two different people getting the same key!

Just upgrading to the release version of Lightroom 2 (the free trial, anyway. Giving rip-off-Adobe my money at the last possible minute.)

Had a nap. Headache seems to have cleared up. Just started reading the latest Bryant and May adventure :)

@Phooto Clearly that's the postal address at Apple that DHCP servers write to to get permission to assign IP addresses to Macs...

another trip to Boots, another No. 7 voucher I'll never use.

@Phooto ooh, ta! And happy birthday, too!

@KellyJanner I'll be experimenting a lot this week, will try to include some interesting locally-grown organic fruit & veg.

@PRBristolblog Ooh, thanks for mentioning the Bristol Doors Open Day. Good photographic opportunities to be had, I reckon. http://is.gd/1XxL

Part of my zen diet plan involves really paying attention when I eat. Surprising how little I actually seem to enjoy food now I'm watching.

Meh. Out into the August drizzle.

Oooh! Panic have released Coda 1.5, including Subversion support, about a month after I decided to start using Subversion. Mind-readers!
