  1. SOCKS-wrapped IMAP client -> SSH -> TCP proxy -> USB -> Android phone -> SOCKS server -> HSDPA link -> IMAP server
  2. Grenzen gab's gestern. I really should go and visit wall-less Berlin again soon.
  3. Just saved 500MB of disk space by running TrimTheFat on my /Applications directory. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20404
  4. What kind of ISP gives you a fancy DSL modem that can do VoIP and some sort of VoD, but can't even act as a router? Mine, apparently.
  5. has made his bed and is lying in it. Literally. #ikea
  6. A mile+ of Friedrich-Ebert-Allee has been sealed off for no apparent reason. Just got chased by a policeman after wandering into it. #bonn
  7. Still haven't learned that I'm not immune to the effects of caffeine. Drinking 591ml of coffee at 5:30pm probably wasn't particularly wise.
  8. Aw naw, F1 qualifying was unexpectedly restarted after I gave up watching due to boredom/coldness/near-dead battery. But yay for the result!
  9. @9600 Sorry, that use case has already been covered: http://tr.im/C2dz
  10. Git is pretty good, as I finally get the hang of it. Currently happily juggling three local branches, two remote and the master. Nice.
  11. Finished 2GB F1 download with BBC iPlayer Desktop yesterday. Started it up now to watch, but programme has "expired" & all has been deleted!
  12. Lesson of the day: Don't write a Firefox add-on that can uninstall itself and then test that feature running directly from the source tree.
  13. Fun fact: `corkscrew` and `ssh -D` are great.
  14. @sniffpetrol Another high point for Ross Brawn I captured at a fairground in Germany last night: http://twitpic.com/hkzbj
  15. Looks like ITV just replaced Silverlight with Flash for their catch up player. Including Coronation St from the future: http://is.gd/39pwU
  16. @9600 Just found a good quote by Lord Kelvin: "I have not the smallest molecule of faith in aerial navigation other than ballooning."
  17. Sat in Deutsche Telekom HQ, watching the F1 on a massive screen, with BBC coverage on laptop. Plus there's a BMW F1 sim here. I am so cool.
  18. Downloaded a file.. on my phone.. on the subway. A decade ago this would've taken 20 mins, not secs (and be unpossible). Yay for technology!
  19. Android phone = awesome phone. Wireless tethering, the magic of open source, easy-to-use development environment. Oh, and background apps.
  20. In Arlanda airport, changing my MAC address for fun and profit.
