Watching NASA TV prior to the launch of STS-125 #

@Dative For jailbroken phones or for people who don’t want an Apple ID for the App Store? in reply to Dative #

Just adding @Astro_Mike to get some space tweets #

@nickyc You should give @Astro_Mike a mention in the next episode of Unwatchable in reply to nickyc #

@thermalsatsuma you should get this. Its awesome http://bit.ly/kGLTG in reply to thermalsatsuma #

I’m starting to get embarrassingly excited about a Tweet from space #iamageek #

And so to bed. Can I have a story? #

On the back of the STS-125 launching yesterday, passing Jodrell Bank made me feel all scientific #

RT @jochta: Cycling Land’s End to John O’Groats from Saturday http://www.justgiving.com/jochta #charitytuesday #lejog Give to WaterAid #

Sky+ box dead! No TV, no beer make Red something something… (actually its just telly the beer is just fine) #

The ferret just ran up my trouser leg. That’s the best entertainment I’m getting tonight. #

@nickyc or version 3.0 like wot I am running

For the record Darren Hale is very, very wrong #

Now please! #fixreplies #

Sky HD box self install FTW! No waiting and I have telly back… now in HD. Result! #

For the record, someone who won’t be named anonymity has been restored. Its not as if he was Spiderman or anything! #

Looking out of my office window. Beats working in the city.

@Dative Could you have done the Vertu any smaller?

in reply to Dative #

@Dative It looks like a criminal identity parade line up in reply to Dative #

Looking forward to my first weekend of Sky HD. It cost me enough in the end but it was that or no TV at all after the Sky + box died. #

I’ve got my ITIdiots Unwatchable episode all lined up for my drive home #

I love the Today view in Things http://bit.ly/2VHaNw Thats the last to-do in that view ticked off. Can I start my weekend now? #

RT @nickyc: Next episode is out, it’s more of the usual crap….. #itidiots #unwatchable http://bit.ly/QlEuZ #

@GFRoSTY More like what’s Nicky bought this week

in reply to GFRoSTY #

Getting ready for the match. French bread pizzas for a foundation then a few cheeky beers from the fridge. #

Good luck to jochta on his trek. Http:\\www.jochta.com\lejog #lejog #

@Dative At least you’ll still have your bags in reply to Dative #

@thermalsatsuma Swine flu? in reply to thermalsatsuma #

I want this T-shirt http://bit.ly/iKhnH #

@choobs If the weekend starts on Wednesday then yes. I haven’t finished the last one yet. in reply to choobs #

#crapnamesforpubs Pub #

Sat watching http://twitterfall.com/ then realised 15 minutes had passed in the blink of an eye. Is that a good or bad thing? #

Just looking at the trends for Chelsea vs Barca. There is almost a unanamous hate of Chelsea. Come on Barca! #

The Hollywood final is on #

No-one likes Chelsea do they? Never heard a bigger pub cheer, followed by hilarious laughter. (via @Roscoe1891) lol

@nickyc Whoop!

Can’t help feel that Chelsea took one for the team. Who knows what rules UEFA would have dreamt up if 2 more English clubs reached the final #

@nickyc You need to rename Unwatchable to the Nicky gets a new toy podcast

in reply to nickyc #

No EuromMillions win… roll on Monday #

#inever thought I’d be up this early after last night #

I’m wondering if it’s time to move all the default iPhone apps that I don’t use off the first page. Would it still look like an iPhone? #

@Dative Put it on this morning hence the urge to have a clear out. Started by deleting a gazillion apps off the phone. in reply to Dative #

@nickyc call that a Sunday dinner? This is a Sunday dinner! http://twitpic.com/41vs4 in reply to nickyc #

Oh no. Low gas! I hope I can finish cooking what’s on the BBQ #

My son has just walked in with a shaved head. Now it’s my job to calm his mum down. #

@thermalsatsuma That was how he was, until today. His Mum’s in shock. in reply to thermalsatsuma #

I have a job that needs me to use VMware and an installation of Vista on the MacBook.. I feel all dirty #

@choobs Better locked away in a VM image file than let loose anywhere else in reply to choobs #

The MacBook is making mincemeat out of Vista. Now I have an install I can destroy perhaps I can get to the bottom of this printing problem. #

@nickyc @ITidiots No pressure lads but I need this weeks show for my commute tomorrow or the whole week will be tits up #

@nickyc Can I find episode 6 of Unwatchable on there too?

in reply to nickyc #

Sat outside a locked office. Inside sits a server that I was working on remotely last night when it decided not to talk to me anymore. #

@nickyc You’ll be spoilt for choice on what to talk about next week then. For instance http://tinyurl.com/c8c5w2 in reply to nickyc #

Finding an entry level HD camcorder with an external mic socket is harder than you think #

Bricked my iPhone on beta 4 and had to roll back to beta 3. You expect shit with beta but its still 2 hours wasted. #

@choobs Welcome to my world. You should come out drinking with me and the Man Sized Tissues #

Mike Riley has set up a shit final #

@makingupnumbers I need to pay the bill #

I paid the hosting bill for UGVX. Go and use it, or don’t… your choice. http://www.ugvx.com #

@makingupnumbers €22 a quarter #

I wonder when Chowny will discover Twitterific on the iPhone and Mac. There will be no stopping him then. #

@SDChown If you eat money then the banks the place to go. Personally I’d try Greggs. in reply to SDChown #

So frustrated that the “same day shipping” company in Jersey isn’t shipping my Saturday order for a new shiny until Wednesday. #

@Dative I can’t tell you.. but its shiny #

@Dative Fart machine? #

Why isn’t tomorrow a public holiday? #

And if you don’t know what tomorrow is, you should. #

@Dative Tomorrow is St. Georges Day in reply to Dative #

@choobs According to our local Co-op he’s the patron saint of beer and all things alcohol in reply to choobs #

Happy St. Georges Day! #

@nickyc Do you not find that the PS3s fans are almost quiet when watching video. i.e. When it matters? in reply to nickyc #

Tweetie has ousted Twitterific on both my desktop and iPhone http://www.atebits.com/ #

@iamdabe If you’d thought ahead you could have took a packed lunch in with you in reply to iamdabe #

@Dative The only thing frustrating me is that the blue notification doesn’t go away unless I change views with the desktop window open in reply to Dative #

@nickyc If you need to know anything ask away. I’ve spend far too much time to be healthy with PS3 and 360

in reply to nickyc #

A PCL XL error has been giving me a headache but I have a cunning plan… #

Someone (yes, you know who you are) has just got far too excited over Ubuntu 9. I mean, come on, they don’t even have keynote speeches! #

Cunning plan failed. I’m back at the drawing board but I do have a new word to add to my Google search. #

I don’t think that @iamdabe would be allowed back in even if he wanted to. #

@itidiots look, its @nickyc http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/4/23/ Looking forward to next week. Cheers. #

The shiny has shipped but its coming from Jersey strapped to the leg of a pidgeon #

Hot on the heels of my Tweetie switch http://bit.ly/10RjZL #

I can’t make my mind up what the St. Georges day tipple should be. I suppose Bombardier Ale would be the logical choice http://bit.ly/DwyS3 #

Just had to endure a maths lesson. Although I finished Prof Layton before my peers I couldn’t get my head around 042 The Camera and the Case #

@Dative The cats were in the curry? in reply to Dative #

My son is 5 mins from finding himself out on the street. Is is me or are we spiralling into a society of slackers. #

@thermalsatsuma I’m finding it increasingly hard to reconcile my values with today’s generation. Is it always the same is there some change. in reply to thermalsatsuma #

Its a terrible thing when your Thursday feels like a Friday. I’m in work and it feels like a Saturday. Should I even be here? #

@choobs Is that in Draft N mode? in reply to choobs #

I noticed from Tweeties mentions view that some of you have tweeted at me without the underscore. You ended up tweeting at the Canadian. #

@itidiots Are your tweets set to mute or are you very, very quiet? shhhhh

@choobs Have you tried setting it to b/g only? in reply to choobs #

@choobs Why am I tweeting at you when I can see you there online in Adium? in reply to choobs #

@Dative Houston, we have a problem! #

@Dative W00t.. FTP? in reply to Dative #

Problem: In Dynamics NAV asking for 2 prints gives 4, 3 gives 9 and 4 gives 12. Happens on different print drivers on all installations!??? #

Thats it for the week.. carry them over to Monday #

The shiny has arrived!!!!!!!! #

@nickyc one of interest to you? http://bit.ly/CJj15 #

I HATE Setanta Sports for fragmenting coverage. No I will NOT pay for another subscription. I’ll just be angry. #

@Dative Was it a Swiss Tony sticker? in reply to Dative #

Manchester United season ticket renewal arrived. Ouch not cheap. #

@nickyc who paid?

in reply to nickyc #

It’s my birthday!! Feel free to have a beer using me as an excuse. #

I see that Vodaphone and Twitter have an agreement for SMS delivery in the UK. I’ve just contacted O2 to give them a push to do similar. #

@O2UKOfficial Thanks. Nice to know that you are listening at very least. #

Had 40 winks to sleep off the afternoon pub. Now I’m ready to continue my birthday. #

I’m being chased round the house by a crazed ferret #

Quarantine was better on a second watch. I was in more of a mood to watch it but its still a me too film. I have Splinter to watch tonight. #

Thats if I can hold out after all this champers… but I lie. Its cheap Jacobs Creek sparkling fizz

I’d like to say that I’d mowed the lawn but it was more moss than grass #

And now that I have Growl and Twitterific in place I think I’m done setting up the new MacBook #

@makingupnumbers Plenty of people selling cheap renewals on eBay in reply to makingupnumbers #

Jodrell Bank was pointing straight up this morning for the second day running. Maybe they were just collecting rainwater for the gardens #

@makingupnumbers I pass it twice a day on my commute. Its nice now that the mornings are light that I can see it in the sunshine in reply to makingupnumbers #

@thermalsatsuma Thank you for sharing

in reply to thermalsatsuma #

Having to setup and configure 7 new Vista computers. There is no god..

I should qualify that last tweet for the benefit of Mr Hopkins in saying I never thought there was a god in the first place

Darwin FTW! #

Chair… so… comfy… ahhhhhhhh

I forgot how nice it is to have a clean office. The last time I cleaned was pre Christmas. Its actually pleasant to sit in here. #

Found a live feed of the England match but with a foreign commentary so I’ve stuck Radio 5 on. Problem is that he commentary is out of sync. #

Watching Quarantine but a nit pissed off and bored with this POV format #

bit not nit
F1 go! #

Just got out of bed for the second time today. 6am get ups are easier when you haven’t stayed up till 3am the previous night. #

A bit of sunshine and everyone says it’s spring. It’s spring when I say so. #

Why is Pink Floyd The Wall not iTunes plus unlike all the other Floyd stuff in the iTunes Store? #

@Dative No problem. I noticed a few icons in various places at a higher native res. If you want to use it I can redo it at a higher quality #

Further to my earlier tweet. I do concur, spring looks to be here. #

@jochta I think the official date for spring is Friday 20th so the wintery showers are just in time.. typical #

@iamdabe you could hide it behind a PS3 if you were allowed one in reply to iamdabe #

Why can I not resist shiny things. New MacBook Pro from the Apple store GET! #

A new Mac.. set up in seconds but it will take me a week to get it EXACTLY as I want it
