  1. Today's dilemma: do I change my avatar to a picture of the actual me? Got quite used to the head of Medusa, but I look kinda different.
  2. @PtahShadow No, the upgrade is for my netbook. I run Mac at home. Netbook for on-the-fly. Veering towards staying with XP, I think. Thanks!
  3. @tygerland Do let me know 1. how the update went and 2. if new features worth it. I too am on Leopard right now.
  4. @mrdavidwhitley You can't omit the much anticipated opening of the Phase 1 East London extension from Dalston Junction to West Croydon.
  5. @antonvowl I enjoyed the one about the awards. V funny if you knew the backstory.
  6. Why just ski lifts? I can think of other uses. RT @timestravel @skitimes Chairlifts that keep kids glued to the seats http://bit.ly/7DW8Y6
  7. @Nosemonkey Thanks. Yes, it's an NC-10, so it has bang on a gig of RAM. Don't fancy re-installing all my open-source software, though. Pain.
  8. This is aces: background notes on Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, aka El Clasico, and why it matters http://bit.ly/4BCSCP
  9. @shinykatie I prefer 'nesting nuts'. For the alliteration. But, no, I didn't; apart from painting every room in the house.
  10. @monkchips Yes. Google ads everywhere, on my desktop, in my pocket: http://bit.ly/3z7FUp
  11. Interesting contrarianism RT @paul_a_smith @marklad2020 Is social media a waste of time in the travel business? http://bit.ly/51hpmt
  12. RT @Pharaonick: Know s/o going on business trip to Cairo? Point them in direction of @NileGuide 's business trip guide http://bit.ly/3r1htd
  13. @PtahShadow Gah, that's irritating. Everything on there is open-source, but going through all those installs again doesn't appeal. Thanks.
  14. Thanks for Windows 7 advice @matt_parsons @ptahshadow @simonDgardiner @ciaranjones1 @bakerLJ. Still not sure.
  15. @BakerLJ Yes, Mac big screen at home. The netbook is for travels. Neat, though, but Win XP isn't great.
  16. @Matt_Parsons Ha! Yes. In fact, I downgraded it from a Macbook to have something lighter to take on research trips. Home unit is a Mac, tho'
  17. @CathElliott You just can't answer that sort of question in 140 characters. Needs an essay.
  18. Is it worth upgrading my Win XP netbook to Windows 7? Anyone know, or have an opinion?
  19. @JamieSport Jeez. I don't even knowingly click on their links. Let alone write for them, even though they pay the best. That's lame.
  20. How NOT to hack into Travmedia and NOT send a press release pretending to be from ABTA: http://bit.ly/56sT56. Massive security hole.
