  1. @BTCare I'm having problems with the incompetence of BT's order-handling procedure more than anything else, I think.
  2. @sillage That's completely brilliant. Why isn't everyone talking about it? (Or are they, and I missed it?)
  3. @sillage Ah, interesting. I did wonder. Presumably they started independent and then you bought (into) them?
  4. @sillage Of course it would be great if you could help somehow; guessing it's not really your dept though!
  5. RT @jeresig: The John Snow cholera map that I'm getting letterpressed is available for pre-order now: http://johnsnowmap.com/
  6. Roughly speaking, any BT Broadband customer can use any BT Broadband router, not just their own – which is a genuinely great idea.
  7. (To give them credit, I do nevertheless have internet access, thanks to their inspired deal with FON. Why isn't that better known?)
  8. Yet more grief with BT. Ten days after everything was supposed to be enabled, I have a working phone line but still no broadband.
  9. (She appears to be significantly less unwell than I was led to expect…)
  10. Girl and I jumping up and down to the gentle strains of the Rotterdam Termination Source.
  11. @vigornian I can read it. (Perhaps anyone who's already following you can?)
  12. RT @vaughanbell: "We report the first case of a patient who put an Allen key completely in his urethra." http://is.gd/54k2Y
  13. @purserhallard I'd just like him to write a joint paper with the Danish mathematician Anders Kock.
  14. RT @larsgt: All kind of magic new features in Java 7... http://bit.ly/4YmCSo Probably not switching back just yet...
  15. RT @lizziegillett: Interesting George Marshall article on hacking of UEA emails. #ageofstupid http://bit.ly/8uO4EQ
  16. Seriously, wtf is with the HTML used by gmail? (http://yfrog.com/5opicture6mp) Is this insanity, or mere necessary complexity?
  17. RT @bengoldacre: Adam Curtis and his gigantic genius brane: modernity in Kabul http://bit.ly/Oz30J
  18. Reading an email message in Google Mail: the selected <table> contains the actual message as sent. http://yfrog.com/5opicture6mp
  19. Apple Store has a bug where if you go to UK keyboard (http://tr.im/FyM7) and add to basket, it adds the German one. No way to order UK one.
  20. @tomd I don't know anything completely brilliant. httperf is still useful even though it's old, and siege is the obvious suggestion.
