Broken down on the A43 on the way to Nottingham. My driver side rear wheel completely refuses to move.
I hate DRM even more today now that a legit game that game with my graphics card claims I shouldn’t be using a backup copy of the CD.
In the office for 1 day of work before heading back up to Nottingham tomorrow night. Secret Santa got me a TARDIS phone flasher.
Near endless supply of pizzas arriving in the office.
Drinking home made smoothie and realising how late it is.
Stuffed in a car full of people and presents.
Heading north for Christmas…. no not quite Lapland.
Managed a morning failure again - didn’t bring any lunch. Off to the investigate the café downstairs.
Yesterday I got three quarters of the way to work, overtook 2 cyclists, and then woke up - late. Hoping for a better night sleep.

I love mobile. 5 minutes sat on the wrong train, now I’m heading straight home from Twinterval. Got a handful of @dabr converts too - hi!
I wonder how much feedback I can get about dabr from twinterval people. On the train now.
Now at #twinterval and met the inspiration for @dabr , @whatleydude.
With my recent winning streak - do you think I’ll win the iPod up for grabs at Twinterval tonight? ;)
Tried an @innocentdrinks smoothie flavour at the weekend: Pineapple, Banana, Coconut, and 0 magic lamps and no pesky genies. Very tasty.
Argos cashier thought I’d driven 120 miles just for a £30 freeview box.
Just watched the prize draw video of MIR Christmas Presents http://is.gd/buDD - I’m a winner! Thanks @bensmithuk and 118118 too :)
Smiling at a great e-mail. More details later.
Trying hard to arrange getting to @twinterval on Monday. Very unlike me to attend something like that.
Wrote a huge comment on MIR’s HTC Diamond review, including two photos: http://is.gd/bkaY It’s my 2nd favourite phone, G1 being current top.
As a big SMS user, I love “Txtract” text messaging backup solution for Android/G1. Great way to overcome the slowdown of having many texts.
Tempted to buy a Freeview PVR for Christmas. Any opinions on which one? Looking at Humax PVR-9150T, £117 from Argos.
Quality Street in the office lead me to look them up in Google. They’ve replace my favourite “Malt Toffee” with “Toffee Deluxe”.
RT @tarek: Delicious now have a Mobile version in beta: http://m.delicious.com Info: http://is.gd/aUai « Hurrah
Listening to some R.E.M. on Spotify today. Have they opened up signups? I seem to have another 5 invites available.
Donated £10 to ChildLine and got my self 2 tickets to Mobile Industry Review’s prize draw: http://is.gd/aYNS
Feeling cheeky because everyone’s PC at work just rebooted - except us in IT with our own power supply.
This week I’ve been loving “Ninja Town” on the Nintendo DS. Save the Ninja’s cookie recipe from hordes of demons: http://ninjatown.com
Scared that @KrissyHefford is giving herself a mohawk and looks nuts.
Checking out the state of roads for tonight’s journey to Nottingham. Traffic looks a bit pants: http://is.gd/amV2 Hope it clears up.
GreenRoad Technologies’ Safety Center system (unsafe driving GPS tracker) saves T-Mobile’s car fleet £417k in 12 months: http://is.gd/amx2
Dear Spotify, Please add Global Hotkeys like Winamp so I can control music from keyboard without opening the application (e.g. skip tracks).

8 boxes of Krispy Kremes have arrived in the office. How many can I sneak back to my desk.
Google Reader has had some UI updates - looks a bit cleaner.
Listening to Spotify for the first time. Has anyone been waiting for an invitation? Got one spare.
http://twitpic.com/pwhf - “The Street” in the office looking particularly nice earlier
Plates and plates full of leftover meeting snacks just arrived in the IT department - yum!
RT @techdigestnews: Amazon MP3 goes live in the UK http://tinyurl.com/5crwqy « Very cool.
Discovered that the @MIReview show plays really well on Android after downloading from Vimeo. Now wondering if I can auto download episodes.
I’m officially annoyed that the iPhone does traffic overlays in the UK while the G1 still can’t.
Heavy traffic eastbound on the M4 around J8/9 causing problems. I need automatic notifications.
Mmmmmmm… cold Dr Pepper.
A hardcopymag.com magazine made me wonder if an article I was reading was available online. It was, but no RSS feed! :(
I’ll try adding better hashtag/conference support to @dabr at lunch. Inspired by @reyes to do more.

Wondering how chaotic work will be tomorrow with tonnes of VAT-related changes and a new starter I haven’t met.
Frustrated with how slow the G1 is at managing text messages. It needs vast improvement or archiving.
