  1. if the weather today in London is "heavy showers" I don't think I want to be around when we have "rain"
  2. aha, mystery resolved - my first Update for Win 7 included drivers for sound card - well done Microsoft (did I just say that?)
  3. I take that back: quite mysteriously sound is now working after all. perhaps Microsoft are monitoring my tweets?
  4. just installed Windows 7 on old Toshiba laptop - first serious problem is that sound device is not recognised
  5. @phylisebanner warm congratulations on your new job, and best of luck!
  6. @billswallow I hope you meant to say that only the really cool UK peeps would get it! :-)
  7. @billswallow That's one of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite albums (and you thought no-one would recognise it?)
  8. @MDespres Not much really, just in approach to students: SL (but not FL)students are studying lang of place they now call "home"
  9. RT @bengoldacre: criticism that Ralph Lauren doesn't want you to see: more amusing use of law to silence dissent http://bit.ly/8nNIII
  10. @afox98 I agree that what @4JsGroup wrote is sad - perhaps disheartening is better - but it doesn't surpise me at al
  11. @finiteattention just in a general, non-specialist, way, e.g. "you can't have more than 7 steps in a written procedure..."
  12. @onemanwrites The 1956 "5 +/- 2" article by Miller was about short-term memory only, and has been cited incorrectly ever since
  13. quite an amazing result at White Hart Lane today: Spurs 9 (yes, 9!), Wigan 1 @paulhitsheet is ecstatic, naturally
  14. RT @Paulhitsheet: 5-1 normally a score spurs only get on a wednesday night and maybe more to come with only half of the second half play ...
  15. Rt @rjacquez Everything you need to know about today's launch of the new Acrobat.com: http://bit.ly/4tSPkI
  16. just went to see the photographic portrait exhibition at the NPG with @anopencupboard who's visiting from CA http://tr.im/Fry0
  17. RT @anghelides RT @TCUK_conf: *Special Feature* of TCUK News! now available to read online: http://tiny.cc/tcuk_newsnov09
  18. S. Palin's book has no index, and why that's bad: http://tr.im/FquK (and why indexes are more useful than full-text search)
  19. new blog post summing up my take on what not to say to a technical writer http://tr.im/FoXt #techcomm #topTWannoy
  20. don't forget to donate to donate to BBC Children in Need http://bbc.co.uk/pudsey
