• Called to @sonimtech re Landrover phone which turns off randomly. Hope the factory r/set fixes or have to it send back. Fab phone otherwise #
• Watched a black cat catch a mouse this morning. Cat looked pleased. Mouse not so much. #
• Lots of nice #Landywaves on the way in to the office this morning. Have a great day all you Land Rover drivers of Surrey and elsewhere. #
• Training today for new Helpdesk s/ware. Realised how awful any training can be if it's not professional, well planned or presented properly #

• Got Ubuntu running on the Joggler from a stick, with wireless keyb & mouse, last night. Maybe it could do a MythTV-like front-end as well? #
• Toying with the idea of setting up a MythTV system to replace the TiVo. Hoping that the WAF is as good as it was with the TiVo. #
• Eeek: Lots of red on our system monitor screens. #
• I'm VERY unhappy that @TiVo and @virginmedia are screwing TiVo Series 1 UK Lifetime users by withdrawing EPG in June. @TiVoTips :Don't Buy. #

• Back in the swing of things. Two weeks in SW England with no net connection beyond a bit of damp string was actually rather relaxing! #
• It's so wet that there's a puddle in the foot-well of the Landrover. Must be the way the rain is falling. #
• Just finished (for the moment) a big tranche of work for http://www.variety.com Mucho Fun & Frustration! #
• Just been into town to buy some Fireworks for G's party on Tuesday. They only had the "bigger" box collections. Clever retail strategy. #
• Nice ice cream from the deli called "Taste of Europe" in South Street (at the old PDSA HQ). #
• Rustling up some supper with leftovers: http://tinyurl.com/2f72gln #
• Just had a ten minute power-cut south of Dorking – hardly long enough to invoke all the standby systems (or find a torch & candle!). #
