- I thought the New York Times was supposed to be entirely open now? I’ve just hit two articles on my Palm which were behind the login wall. #
- The rented MacBook has arrived in the kind of case I had assumed was reserved for nuclear triggers. #
- Sitting back and twiddling my thumbs while I wait for the hard drives to clone, preparatory to installing my setup on the rented MacBook. #
- Not impressed with the LaCie d2 quadra harddrive. It sounds like someone is speed carving the data onto a rockface with a pneumatic drill. #
- The concierge for booking ap’ts at the Apple shop is awful, no way of submitting the further info & then the page auto-forwards unexpectedly #
- Noticing the lower responsiveness in this rented MacBook: 2gB memory vs 4gB, makes a fair difference. #

- Rented a MacBook so I can get the broken one into Apple to have the keyboard repaired. #
- Off for lunch, and to prepare my first slow cooker meal – pork casserole in cider. #
- First a cold, now a chest infection. I avoid the rest of humanity and work in a hermetically sealed vault precisely to avoid these issues. #

- Standing in a friends kiichen doing last minute uploads for a client… thank heavens for SSH, data centre connections are so much quicker. #

- I’ve got to agree with @davidsmalley, House is great. Good lessons for us in there as well: the patient always lies or is at least deluded. #
- New Kleptones live mix out, sounding good so far: http://tinyurl.com/25m2h5 #
- I’m slightly unnerved by the Apple Store people referring to their Geniuses. I respect their expertise and they are great, but Geniuses? #

- I thoroughly recommend the In Our Time podcast. I’m just learning about the Fibonacci Sequence, Reithian broadcasting at its very best. #

RóisÃn Murphy and her dressing up box
Went to see RóisÃn Murphy at Academy Manchester last night: absolutely brilliant. She held the sold out audience spellbound with a fantastic voice, and a dizzying array of hats, shrugs, batwing jumpers, capes, shades, eyemasks, biker jackets and crazy metallic puff dresses.
