How do you overcome the frustration of having so many ideas, but never the time to get anything done. Damn the full time job.Glorious sun today. Stuck in office. Day off tomorrow. Forecast heavy rain and storms. Great.The @itsnicethat printed pages magazine is ordered.
I think I just found the replacement for the much missed Stranger magazine in the shape of @HUCKmagazine
Happy days.
@Gordon_Keenan AdblockPro. I haven't watched a YT advert for years.
Where the hell can I buy a decent jacket that: a. Fits like a jacket, not a sack. b. doesn't cost 3 figures.
It's near on impossible.My hands are tools. They create. They also destroy. Today, they acted like wankers and destroyed my favourite mug. Bastards.@YPLAC C*nt plate. C*nt car. C*nt parking at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. http://t.co/BT9I3mPYYsWell, Spotify for linux 'preview' seems to work a treat. Once again, Linux does everything anything else does.
For free.
@stephenfry Can I have my lighter back then? You borrowed it at the Hay Festival some years back.@Gordon_Keenan Resolute SliceWeek 24. Done.I am filling in an assessment form with corporate wank and bullshit. It is challenging to bluesky this but let it float independently.@tpayton It seems my startup drive was a little crammed, it was struggling to render. Cleared up some space, seems to be OK.
@Gordon_Keenan Of course. They should have kept the name change for OSXI.@Gordon_Keenan I assume it will be cheap. That seems to be the way they're doing it. Not much changed since 10.8. It's a service update.i5. 4 cores. 12GB RAM. Final Cut Pro X crashes like a bastard even at the slightest hint of me trying to do ANYTHING #fcpx #crash #fail
Is it really Thursday tomorrow?
Where does the time go? I though it only flew when you were having fun. #work #soulsucker #endoftermBoth articles are the same, but the one in my hands is so much more. Print, is not dead. #longliveprintAccording to the online assessment, I am a sufficient employee.
Thanks.
Sees new MacPro.
Starts pricing up hackintosh.I wonder if anyone gets into the #cashcab and doesn't play. No thanks... just a cab ride please.
And in other news, new #NIN long player coming soon. That's the most important announcement of the day.New MacPro. "We started with the G4 Cube, extruded the cylinder form and added thunderbolt: that no one uses". #macproNice new calendar. Looks just like it did two years ago. BusyCal still a better solution. #osxmavericksWell... "Mavericks" looks good, but has a shit name if you're not a Californian surfer dude geek.What would I like from #WWDC13? A Final Cut Pro X that doesn't crash every FIVE MINUETS. Is that too much to ask?@Gordon_Keenan I think Amstrad are releasing a new Emailer phone & fax combo! V-excited.Trampled over the first 12 chapters of #gunmachine yesterday pm. Shame I have to go to work and stuff. It's just getting good.I just download SEQUI - FREE TYPEFACE and is awesome! http://t.co/aPE2MyGSIX@Gordon_Keenan Yep. DVi adapter, because the one I used to own was made redundant, as was the one before that... USB3 and FW800, still OK.We're not going to know anything until 6PM, so lets keep calm about it all, right?
#WWDC13
#apple
Three listen rule applied: I now think the new QotSA long player is rather good, actually.Best comment about the X banner at WWDC: "We started with an X, then made it 25% thinner".
Genius.
It's a strange coincidence that I start getting all kinds of PPI and accident claim calls a week after giving my number to #virginmediaLets face it, privatisation never brought anything good to the public. At least BR was accountable to the people, not shareholders #daybreakTrain guy digging a nice hole for himself on the sofa this morning. High fares, overcrowding and old stock is good for the UK. #daybreak
£80m on the euro lottery this Friday. Yep. That'll do fine.
#gottohetoutofthisjob
Still, at least the new broadband is speedier than BT ever was. http://t.co/wKYCAelnWP20 mins with the internet, and I fix what the Virgin Media "engineer" could not. "Your TV is too old mate" wasn't cutting it with me.
Too much coffee this morning. I feel like I could run the minuet mile, but actually I've got to edit videos, which is a sedentary job.Virgin media is like a needy kid. Five texts, eight emails, all reminding me that they're coming tomorrow.
Yes. I know. I'll be there.
@verywesleylike I guess we'll find out in the goodness of time ...
(Inset long exhale of breath here).@verywesleylike current status of anything: unknown.@verywesleylike yep, we're being swallowed into IT. Our servers will be integrated into Active Directory. In essence, the shop is closed.Met the new boss today. Definitely time to find new employment elsewhere.
#NotWhatISignedUpForHey! @CPWTweets Please stop deadline calling me at 9am. I don't want a bloody upgrade.
That is all.
#endcoldcallingDentist this morning.
Urgh.
#hopeitsnothingserious
#privatedentistrycostssomuchAnyone else see that @giffgaff advert last night? I was excellent. Still can't use a GG SIM in an iPhone as not all services are available.
Connected and working. No mess. No fuss.
I heart #Ubuntu.Analog Camera now available on the @AppStore http://t.co/3EV4I96fWx

Good news! “@verge: Nine Inch Nails returns to major label, new album due later this year http://t.co/OsUjpUXjDy”@AnthonyFloyd comic sans is awesome. If you're 13. And using it on MSN messenger. In 1998.

#IneedtomovesomewhereelseHmm. Should I spend a tenner on an aspirational, yet fairly content free periodical, or save the cash for food.
This time. Food wins.

Genius. It's all about the comments on this one. (Via @itsnicethat weekender) http://t.co/UNWIOpAdb3
Motivation is a bit like Vitamin D.
I am deficient in both.
Sadly, there are no pills for motivation.Mind you, have just jacked into their free wifi to download a slew of podcasts to listen to in this Internet free time.With my and the other half's respective employers, it's a surprise we haven't ended it all yet.

@BTCare it's done and dusted. Sorry, you cannot provide the services I need at a sensible price. The consumer has spoken.@Gordon_Keenan SMTP outbound traffic on my BT ADSL was poor as well. A change as good as a rest.@Gordon_Keenan Plus TV that doesn't glitch out every time it rains (shared, ancient unamplified aerial) is also a boon.@Gordon_Keenan Anything has got to be better than BT and their data blackouts, less than .5MBSP speeds sometimes and extraordinary price.Less than 24 hours until I am free of the #BT service. Then a week off the grid (catch up on some reading) then hello Virgin Media and TIVO.
Asda at Cribbs Bristol has something of the sewer about it today. I don't want the smell of effluent in my nose as I shop of groceries.Seriously need new employment opportunities. #sinkingship
@bbc5live what's going on? You're on a loop on my DAB radio. Just a trail going round and round?
Yahoo said to be looking at a $1bn Tumblr takeover. That will be the end of something good.

I want a soft edged upholstered dodecahedron. With storage. And wheels. And Omnifunctional. Yet simple. No screws.

Tough decision.

Like I don't usually do weddings, I don't usually do smart either. Shoes not work boots, trousers with only two pockets. Oh dear.I don't usually do weddings, but for a colleague that lets me borrow his workshop, yeah, I'll take your pictures. Best get my jacket out.
@jonpjames It's some kind of ovum fixation.Time to go open source on everything. Gimp. Inkscape. Scribus ETC.New Creative Cloud is $50 p/user p/m. Enterprise users: $79 p/user p/m. How is this good for us? Right! It isn't.
I need to get going, but this coffee is just too good. And I need to stop for fuel, food... I feel a call to the office.
Hey, fake followers, you get reported for spam, so don't bother.@AngryBritain Once you're in, you're in. Android to iOS is easy. The other way isn't, you realise what you're tied into. I did it twice.I want to finish watching 10 O'Clock live, but I'm bloody shattered. Might ironically watch it on catchup tomorrow.@AngryBritain They might bury the hatchet one day, until then, I don't expect them to play nice.@AngryBritain Not if you're a sucker for the Apple ecosystem. Mind you, it's not perfect. iCloud and iMessage still doesn't work properly.@AngryBritain I manage 300 macs, 1500 users, and everyone with a Samsung device has a hard time. Samsung are obtuse when it comes to Apple.@AngryBritain There doesn't seem to be a workaround at the moment for file access. Don't know about anything else.@AngryBritain Oh yeah. Don't buy a Samsung phone if you've got a Mac. Doesn't work.
