I was going to a blog post on some usability thing on Facebook, but I'll get around to this after I get back from snowboarding.
Instead I'll go back to the true spirit of the internet ... pointless crap.
My answers to the rest of the survey were not much better. Still 5 mins of my time, possible £20 voucher.
I'm sure I'm going to land up on a hit list of researchers and survey people one day.

No insult to Russians intended

Service should be back to normal working order. Tell me if you see anything strange.
[Update 14/9] Well I have discovered a whole lot of entries truncated. One might argue this makes improves the quality of my writing a bit, but I am trying to fix this by restoring from a back up that I hope worked. Bah.
[Update 17/9] Ok well truncated posts have been fully restored. Charset got messed up but have been fixed where I can see them. If any thing else looks odd tell me but otherwise things should be back to where they were before I tried to upgrade.
Of course now that it's all 'fixed' (how fixed is it ever?) I can't think of anything vaugely interesting to say.
You leave your cell phone at home, but are able to log in remotely and access your phone via bluetooth to check your text messages and see who has called.
Pending is the ability to get the mac to send me an email every time I get a text, but it can be done. I just don't know applescript well enough. Although here is reason to learn.
So I've got this mate Ed. Ed normally drinks in a local bar called Caprica. Ok so Ed's not his real name. Caprica is not really the real name of the bar either. It's been changed to protect the innocent. Ok Ed's not all that innocent, but I've changed his name none the less.
So I get this in a mail from Ed today ...
Like, uh, the other night, I was in the Caprica, and, I was at the bar. Anyway, this guy I've never really met before, but I've seen working behind the bar, comes and sits next to me, he's like on his ten minute break. So I say hi and introduce myself, as I make it a point to know most of the staff at the Caprica. He says his name is Jim, he looks pretty wrecked. Katee comes by and serves me a beer, so I buy Jim a beer to cheer him up. Katee wanders off and I say to Jim, somewhat inadvisably:"God, Katee's so cute. I've got such a crush on her. Do you know if she's single these days?"
"Yeah, actually she broke up with me about five minutes ago."
"Awesome!" I said without thinking, and then realized what a faux pas I'd made, and desperately tried to think of some way to cover up what I'd just said. I think I made some weird strangled noises and then rapidly excused myself. Quite embarrassing but also quite funny.
My friends are rock. My friends are so much better than your friends.
