Buenos dias! TGIF! And still sunny, first time in a long time I can remember a few consecutive days of nice weather, about time! #
@benedictpoole Will it last for the weekend though!? Fingers crossed! #
@aspender I usually hibernate… #
@chinposin update #
llamaposin with the @chinposin crew, photo credit http://snurl.com/2llt3 #
@duffbert so did you go for the Canon or Nikon in the end? #
@chinposin LOL! no way! Us llamas look for inner beauty! #
@duffbert enjoy the camera, I can’t comment, I’m in the Canon camp, but the lens combo sounds a great way to get started #
@benedictpoole that sounds like an unhealthy level of stress for a friday afternoon! #
@chessasilva changing for the better though? interesting thats how it started out for you though. I was just happy to see colleagues here! #
@boredandbloggin Ooh! Lucky you! so many options for a bit of boyish fun!! ;-D #
@benedictpoole oh dear, sorry to hear that, still its getting closer to beer o’clock! #
@cote I hope not, portal has so much baggage with it #
Thanks for joining the party @SJDelaney! #

morning tweeps! Hola to my latest followers @boredandbloggin and @tonychall #
I think I need to reboot WinXP, things are grinding along right now… #
@edbrill have fun Ed, very cultural! #
@chrispirillo shouldn’t that read “I would rather [blank] than use Internet Explorer”!? #
@zuffle @vitorpereira you two want to keep making the rest of us enjoy our car-owning experience, right!? #
@vitorpereira there you go again! Keep rubbing it in! ;-P #
@vitorpereira life is just not fair! #
lunchtime, yey!! #
@pedrorq me too! though I have to say they are two of my least favourite teams!! out of the two, I will be gunning for Portugal! #
@startupmeme so why are bots like @bbcnews not flagged, every tweet is a link….? #
@TomRaftery boy thats tough, sorry to hear that. #
where has google gone? #
@dmgursky if its currently Windows, you could always try installing via Wubi first? see how it handles things easily before a full wipe #
google is back from a loo break #
@benedictpoole that does not validate! missing some closing “>”‘s LOL! #
@aqualung aren’t timezones great! #

@d2design I went with the Canon EOS300D when it can out, recently upgraded, I’m a very happy snapper in the Canon camp! #
Morning twitterverse, nice and sunny here in Asturias today, grabbed a coffe, now off to put the car in for a service #
@stuartmcintyre Or is it that we just didn’t appreciate back then!? Oh, if we knew then what we know now….!! #
@vowe @pmooneynet @stuartmcintyre even more amazing that no-one appears bothered to clear them out, check the dates on the spam comments!? #
@jdemay shame the linux client is two versions behind! #
@SteveRichards PC or MAC only, no linux = FAIL by my book…. #
Retweeting @bbctech: LinkedIn ……… raises $53m (£27m) of new funding from investors. http://tinyurl.com/5vr526 #
belly rumbling, must be time to fill it! #
@SteveRichards @delboycarter Vendor lock-in by the back door!! #
@094459 yep, BIG game, lets hope Spain can manage it this time! #
@delboycarter I would love to splash out on a Mac, but I think that would make WinXP for work just too painful to bear any longer! #

back at the coal face, I think I may need another coffee already…! #
A big “hola” to @geekandpoke my latest follower! If you’re not reading you are missing out! http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/ #
Retweeting @pedrorq: And the big day is here, Firefox Download Day: don’t forget to get FF3 today! http://tinyurl.com/5vcx53 #
@pedrorq will it upgrade from FF3RC2 automatically do you know? #
@geekandpoke Feedburner is lying! but then you knew that anyway….! #
@mattwhite fully agree, and quite versatile too, used them a lot in Notes and web apps #
@dmgursky let me know if the login remembers your password, thats the only difference for me on Ubuntu compared to @twhirl on WinXp #
@benedictpoole okey dokey, makes sense i guess, thanks for clearing that up! #
@yellowpark looking forward to hearing how you get on with your slug, I’m thinking of grabbing one too, just don’t tell the wife! #
@pedrorq I thought the verb for us rabble was “to tweet”, making us “tweeters” !? #
@ccurtice not sure it’d really work, there is a limit to what we can give our full attention #
@sdownes1972 @ccurtice have you seen the persistent chat features of Sametime Advanced? Real possibilities there #
@ccurtice I often think it just shows how many people end up in calls that they don’t really need to attend….. #
@chuckstar76 I think it would also be great alongside “community” activities, gives something very different than a discussion thread #
@monkchips stuck my nose back in hotmail earlier, gmail never looked so good! #
Retweeting @lbenitez: OH from cust: we have SharePoint but wish it would just die. No way to support so many deployments of it. #
@GrahamChastney @sdownes1972 Precisely. Deployment approaches need to grow with the solution, whats that phrase about a bad workman…? #
@martinpacker The link STILL takes me to a FF2 download! Some way to go about breaking a record! #
@martinpacker scratch that, now getting the FF3 link! Finally!! #

Buenos dias! Today is a Friday for me, tomorrow is a public holiday for us here #
@benedictpoole Try Opera Mini for web browsing. The default browser is rubbish! #
@juanangelovi Good Luck! #
@benedictpoole App installation hasn’t given me issues so far, what about it do you find bad? Not to say I don’t have my usability issues! #
@benedictpoole have you tried over the air? Just point the BB browser at the site and use the download links. Has worked well for me #
@stuartmcintyre LOL! same happened to me with a wordpress twitter plugin when editing old posts! #
@stuartmcintyre I agree re NewsGator, though the missing piece in their jigsaw is a linux client solution that will also sync back… #
@olufsphere Dopplr and magnolia? #
@olufsphere Understand re Dopplr, magnolia is like del.icio.us http://ma.gnolia.com/ #
@kavit27 so what did you think of Lotus Connections 2.0? #
@pedrorq do you need it? I haven’t had any issues with the nVidia drivers, compiz fusion runs fine #
@pedrorq ok, not something I’ve tried, though the nVidia drivers have picked up settings fine. Have you tried the restricted driver in 8.04? #
why have I just received an SMS from Facebook with a “Facebook Mobile confirmation code”? Haven’t asked for on afaik…. #
Retweeting @pjnet: Wondering if email is the new fax. Unfortunately not yet me thinks #
@stuartmcintyre thanks for the iSkoot link, been thinking about something like that… #
@GrahamChastney I think you’re right, though I hope we can move away from our “dependence” on it for collaboration #
back from lunch, warm outside, that “need a siesta” feeling creeping in. Must be time for a coffee then! #
@pedrorq LOL! Probably as close as I’ll get in this lifetime! #
@vitorpereira envy! do you ever stop!!? have a good one! #
@vitorpereira quite right! and on that note, I’m packing up for the day to go and collect my daughter, nice long weekend ahead of us! #
