At the British Library cafe, The Last Word. I believe I just had coffee at the table next to @GreatDismal!
Nothing like a good bit of @sashaofficial to make me feel better for being at work with a sore buttock and a cough.

Not impressed with @dpduk. Waited all day for a delivery, haven’t been out of earshot of the doorbell. Delivery failed, no card, no nothing.

Just listening to @apparatofficial’s DJ-Kicks. First time on speakers. There’s so much to hear. Beautiful, emotional, melodic stuff.

Listening to @croftyf1 commentating the darts. I’m much. More used to his F1 trivia, but the same humour is there.
Just finished the Back To The Future trilogy on Blu-Ray. The films are every bit as awesome as they were the first time I watched them.
Longcat! http://j.mp/c6289v
In between reading @marcoarment and @siracusa’s tweets, I’m thinking Apple should just buy a damn printer manufacturer. HP, maybe. ;)

Getting a dose of summer in the autumn courtesy of @Danny_Howells’ classic Global Underground mix. It’s still brilliant.
Getting very, very tetchy about #vs2008’s inability to update big DBML files without exploding.
I really would like to stop work at this point and play racing games.
Didn’t see @sashaofficial last weekend as I had too much work, and @DJJohnDigweed on Saturday is looking tenuous as I feel ill. #fuckimold

The first track on CD2 @daveseaman’s new GU mix is the same track that @sashaofficial opened his Matter set with. Bloody gorgeous bassline.

I appear to have been given a secret mission by an unnamed DJ to get hold of @ewanpearson’s latest remix… not sure how I’d do that!
I’ve just installed a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HDD/SSD drive. Anyone needing both space and great performance should consider it.

Wow. Breaking Bad is awesome. It’s so dark that it makes me laugh. It’s that or cry.
I finally get Elbow. Lovely, lush music.

Wow, one mention of the word iPad, and I get 2 spam replies.
Enjoying a lovely cappuccino thanks to @gaffaandaprayer! http://yfrog.com/4yhofj
Well, @instapaper and @simplenoteapp have replaced iPod and Photos on my iPad dock. Why? They get used *much* more.
Already had @twitterrific and @reederapp in the dock, but @instapaper and @simplenoteapp have become irreplaceable as I’ve used them more.

Why is it, with every refurbishment or redesign, trains have more CCTV and less tables? I want more tables and less CCTV, not no tables.

MS Windows NT Kernel-mode User and GDI White Paper →
This is a fascinating look at one of the (at the time) controversial changes in Windows NT 4. It’s interesting to see parts of this effectively being reversed in Vista and Win7, as a lot of the arguments for moving things into the kernel (primarily, CPU usage and memory) cease to have the same impact through faster hardware and more efficient techniques for message passing, batching,...
Proper peaktime stuff from Will Saul. Somehow counterpointing the tone of @ewanpearson’s “warm-up” set. Great night so far.
Lovely bit of jazz piano.
Very much enjoying @ewanpearson playing at @ministryofsound. Great sounds, crowd don’t exactly seem enthralled :( http://yfrog.com/1svxeij
