  • 13:10 I really hate this time of year, just waiting for it to March/Spring. #confessionsaturday #
  • 13:38 I think it's sad reflection on our culture when sports players (especially rich ones) are regarded as heros #confessionsaturday #
  • 15:28 I got my Windows7 refund this week. #stuffthatmakesmehappy #
  • 20:30 Feeling ill. Curling up on sofa to watch some Wordpress lectures on my phone. Rock'n'roll \m/ #
  • 20:49 I think mobile phones should have brightness controls in the same way that many have volume controls. #betterphonedesign #
  • 21:43 #Blogging conundrum - Over the past two weeks my hits have gone down, but my RSS subscribers are higher than ever. Strange? #
  • 23:04 The Digital Economy Bill needs to be stopped! bit.ly/2omn1O - They also want to take over Nominet! bit.ly/63NIjf - Pls RT. #

  • 01:21 For the record, I think having the death penalty & having a civilised society are mutually exclusive goals. Killing ain't civilised. #
  • 01:25 If you execute killers, then you have to execute the executioner, and so on. The logical conclusion of the death penalty is extinction. #
  • 12:10 I like how creating "My Maps" on Google Maps carries over to mobile client. I just wish it would work in reverse too! #
  • 13:19 CNET UK Podcast poll: What operating system does your mobile phone use? is.gd/4YKDE - Please RT + Tell us if you like your phone OS #
  • 16:12 Leaked UK government plan to create "Pirate Finder General" with power to appoint militias, create laws eff.org/r.3cQ (via @bb) #
  • 16:15 If you didn't understand my last tweet, Mandelson wants to give entertainment industry powers to pry into your private life and cut you off. #
  • 16:45 RT @Openrightsgroup Say no to the Pirate Finder General: bit.ly/message2mandelson (Pls RT) #
  • 19:07 AFK for a few hours now. :-( #

  • 00:15 I had the same reaction nearly 2 years ago! #
  • 09:32 New blog post: Can Electronic Book Readers Succeed? bit.ly/NYe1H #
  • 13:31 As a blogger, or writer, do you actively capture your ideas when you're not writing, and if so, how? I use email, to send them to myself. #
