Should really do some work on my Twitter project but am kind of comfy on the couch avec iPhone.

Yikes, time to go home! Where did the time go?
Ok, quote sent to client. Time for lunch.
Enjoyed the @sicamp meetup tonight, some interesting ideas, and met 2 more Twitterers in the flesh :)
About to head over to the SI Camp meetup, eating dinner first :)
Ok, how on earth are people getting scores of 1000+ and 2000+ on Flight Control?
Cool, update for Flight Control out now :)
Still got playstation thumb on my right hand, sore when gripping things.
Got a bad case of Playstation thumb this morning.

I just used my new twitter web app to ‘itterate’ a tweet to make it fit 140 chars. Will hopefully launch to the world tonight! ;)

Have succeeded in slaying the IE7 monster. Strangely the IE6 monster was quite tame, as was IE8.
Most of the internet myth emails are propogated by my mother. Must set snopes.com as her homepage. ;)

Anyone know the ‘official’ limit on length of a Tweet? Can go up to 255 chars but can’t see any proper confirmation on Twitter API site.
Second weekend in a row I’ve had manflu, just achy and very tired. ;(

Thinking more clients need to read this site: http://www.no-spec.com/ Turned down some potential work due to spec required for *very* low £
“Don’t use @import” - http://tinyurl.com/d6ejlg Useful stats, might do some tests of my own.
Interesting, http://smush.it/
Presumably people writing in Chinese / Japanese etc characters on Twitter can say a lot more in 140 chars than in English?
Starting the day with an essential task: Changing my desktop wallpaper.
Just had to do remote support for Contribute CS3 for a client, not much fun!
Back inside virtual machines testing IE rendering again, still going well!
Woohoo! Got my order in for the print version of @fivesimplesteps :)
