  1. QF678 from Adelaide to Melbourne.
  2. Boarding QF81 Sydney to Adelaide for a brief trip.
  3. @derekhyslop In his case it was a siren call from a lady in Melbourne - and the rest was history.
  4. @derekhyslop Thank you - it'd be great to meet some other Hyslops - my father is from Scotland, but came to Australia to marry.
  5. These Russian grannies are just like the ones I met in Russia last month! Go grannies! #sbseurovision
  6. @derekhyslop Thank you very much Derek! A pity - I was in Glasgow just over a month ago!
  7. "Google just bought Palm for zero billion dollars" - the best comment of the day: vrge.co/Kwv3Mg
  8. @SwiftKey When are you expecting to have the final app out for Swiftkey 3 and Swiftkey 3 Tablet? I would prefer to avoid the betas.
  9. @parislemon Please change it back - Pinterest works with graphics, but if you are all text, it's horribly difficult to read!
  10. Heading home. I am now fully operational for the Augusta Westland AW139 helicopter, winch and all.
  11. Lights and sirens on the M5 Motorway can be fun!
  12. @TXCraig An interesting assessment of how Apple has added features to iOS recently, acknowledging that it borrows: bit.ly/LzF6j4
  13. In the back of an ambulance and already heading off on my first road primary rescue!
  14. Here's @gruber being a dick, and a demonstration of iOS elitism all in one - the insinuations are less than subtle: bit.ly/JY12X5
  15. Getting a little nervous. In an hour they are going to blindfold me, strap me into a cage and then dump me upside down in water.
  16. @latikambourke @2008_kaos I think it was $546/year a couple of years back.
  17. @robertstainsby @TXCraig No, but I am figuring with Android widgets being similar to Windows Live Agents that this should be on Android!
  18. @robertstainsby @TXCraig Given QF is my airline, I'm salivating over this on WP7 - it looks amazing: youtu.be/Z51DNnJ58f0
