  1. I like the just plain ambiguous type. IE: "I can jump higher than a building". Or my favourite: "I've spent more time in Texas than Joannna"
  2. Apart from the where-to-put-the-groupings lexical ambiguities (EG: [The King of Elfland]'s [Daughter] VS [The King] of [Elflands daughter])
  3. @otrops Or start paying someone to manage your email for you? (There's a business model in that I'm certain)
  4. @seanohalloran CEO of firm I used to work at bought laser hair transplantation. Denied it. Earnt nickname "The World's Favourite Hairline"
  5. Cut and paste on iPhone has dramatically improved my flow. I can use my deadtime commute to 'inbox zero' my mail into 'Things' lists & notes
  6. She's his daughter. It's the committee not the room which is grand. Vader is Luke's Dad. Rosebud is his sled. Everyone likes sandwiches.
  7. Like parliament:The grand committee room isn't a grand room for the committee, it's just an overly teaky room where the grand committee meet
  8. (The ruler of England)'s (sandwich).
  9. Tried to explain its like The Ruler of England's Sandwich: Its about a sandwich belonging to a ruler not someone dominating a national snack
  10. Which they parsed as (The king) of (Elfland's Daughter), rather than (The king of Elfland)'s (daughter).
  11. Lexical ambiguity is a bugger. My friend was struggling with the title of the book "The King of Elfland's Daughter".
  12. Trying very hard to sleep. Meanwhile talking to a Greek friend on Eve about the minefield of the English language.
  13. @m4rkw CIA World Factbook? http://is.gd/1xy9L - There's a local iPhone version of this.
  14. @m4rkw Isn't that what Wikipedia is? Can you be more specific about what you're wanting?
  15. @Swoopy Who wouldn't love seeing @stephenfry sideways? :-D
  16. Why didn't I see this coming? http://www.twitvid.com
  17. I'm playing with rsyslog as a delivery mechanism for a lightweight event reporting tool. This counts as recreational systerms administration
  18. @otrops I guess people tend to do this at the application level instead, for most things.
  19. 1 reason to scrape MobileMe is to use emergency msgs for your own scripted purposes. Since they cause a 2 minute alarm even in silent mode.
  20. via @m4rkw Screen scraper for MobileMe http://is.gd/1tKhW There are very good reasons for wanting this beyond that given on the linked site
