March 2009
It is scorchio outside today, definitely t-shirt weather.
Skype for iPhone is available now: http://tinyurl.com/c93ofv (iTunes store link)
Watching ‘How it’s Made’. Oh wait, seen it. Watching 24 instead.
Lost and Fringe viewing session coming up :) watching Yellowstone just now.
I hear a cornetto calling my name in the freezer.
Mmm, doesn’t seem like Gabriella has chicken pox after all, some other spotty / rash thing.
Kind of zonked this morning due to unhappy baby who was uncomfortable, in the literal sense of that word. #chickenpox
Leaving the office to help with shopping, seems like Gabriella has chicken pox!
Using phpFlickr with some Flickr API trickery, both are great :)
Letter from Sky today saying that my 16mb broadband package is going to get even faster apparently.
Loved the subtle use of a cover of Dinosaur Jnr’s song ‘Freak Scene’ from the Album ‘Bug’ on the last episode of Fringe. Very appropriate :)
Ah, Pizza arrived. My work as cook is done.
Just ordered Pizza Hut. It was my turn to cook.
I can’t believe the Director 11.5 trial is publish disabled. Given Director’s lack of popularity you’d think they’d offer a decent trial. :(
Funny how pretty much all reviews for TV series on iTunes points out how overpriced they are compared to DVDs. When will TV co’s learn…
Downloading Director 11.5 trial to see what it’s like, got an app I’d like to upgrade for Leopard and Vista.

speedlimit is a Leopard preference pane for limiting your network bandwidth to one of a couple different speeds—768k DSL, Edge, 3G, and Dialup. This is really handy for testing your iPhone app under…
“This is not a spam email…” Oh yes it is [delete]
Those Man Alive guys are crazy catz :) http://tinyurl.com/clduwa
Firebox.com has Flip Mino HDs in stock for £170. Wonder if they’d send me one for free to test? ;)
Ha ha, Jack Bauer has a black MacBook. Watching 24 as background noise / idle curiosity.

Today I had to make a theme for a Bebo account. I’m still recovering.
http://www.meetsid.co.uk is the first site I’ve made using Wordpress for the backend too. Also jQuery for the homepage video player element.
The Meet Sid project was created with the help of Man Alive Studios, The Rep Youth Theatre and Who Cares? Scotland.
Stoked to finally launch ‘Meet Sid’, a project we’ve developed for the Care Commission - http://www.meetsid.co.uk
I really should do some blogging, got seveal posts that need finished.

Woo, the second website launch in as many days: http://www.strathcairn.com/ (business days that is!) Possibly another tomorrow too.
JJ Abrams doublebill tonight, Lost then Fringe.
Great spring day today, went skating, now tired and lounging on the couch.
Wow, we haven’t launched a site for ages and then we’ve three within a few days: #1 UKEO-UK http://www.ukeo-uk.com/ Two more next week :)
Apologies for typo in my last tweet, you’re / your, doh…
Loving Google.co.uk homepage logo today: http://www.google.co.uk/
Went to the opening of the 10th anniversary show at the DCA. 4 friends amongst the artists involved.
Set up a fresh IE8 VM. A bit annoying still having to type http:// before an IP address when accessing site via IP. Surely it should know?
Cool, Google Maps now has Street View working for Dundee. I’ve noticed a few errors though, but it’s pretty cool.
Think I’ve fixed the washing machine! Found lots of hair clippy things and a hair band in the inflow pipe!
Broadband all fixed but now the washing machine is going wonky!
Got a nice bit of code working today / this evening, but as my broadband is still down I can’t check it into SVN. Works well though :)
Engineer coming tomorrow morning to check out broadband problem. Hopefully back online properly by then!
Now waiting for call back from ops from ISP, possibly no broadband until thurs! Aaaargh. Glad I have my iPhone at least.
New router arrived from ISP, still no broadband. Tech support call again.
I’m at Starbucks Coffee Co - http://bkite.com/05zXl
Going to meet @graemesuth at Starbucks. Nice evening for a walk :)
