  • Bill Gates' brilliant talk at TED 2010: "Innovating to Zero": http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/767 #
  • It looks like some recent Windows update has screwed with my Oracle developer installation. Gee, thanks. Thankfully I can VMWare rollback! #
  • Finally I can get on with my tasks for the day. Have just spent the whole evening fighting Oracle, NHibernate & refactoring 100's of classes #
  • I've just issued the first BETA build of FreeAgent Receipts today, a Windows PC & Webcam receipt scanner for FreeAgent Central. #
  • Also installing the iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 3. Looking forward to getting me some iPad action. #
  • New website. Not finished yet as I'm migrating content and editing it live, but it's looking pretty good so far. http://www.evolvedsoftware.com #
  • Consider that all modern birds are descended from dinosaurs and chickens are birds; this means that I have a dinosaur's ancestor in my oven! #
  • A local computer shop in Farnborough just got caught by Microsoft for selling pirated Windows licenses! http://bit.ly/d6LaGd #
  • Apple will be selling the iPad (Wi-Fi only model) in the UK from £389 (inc VAT). Pretty much same price as US. http://bit.ly/cMGEJ5 #

  • Checking code in for a client and jotting down some iPad app ideas at 9:30pm on a Friday night. How sad has my life become? #
  • At Frankie & Benny's Basingstoke for family lunch. Ouch, it's expensive for generic fried tat. Back home later to study mor Objective C :) #

  • RT @chrija @Jason Filed under "of course" – Liberalism & atheism linked to higher IQ http://bit.ly/bwzYfZ #
  • Why has HMRC made filing even a simple Corporation Tax return so bloody complicated using Adobe PDF? Duplicate data everywhere. Stupid #HMRC #
  • Oh my word. The HMRC Corporation Tax return software is for want of a better word, untested EPIC FAIL. Has anyone proof read or tested it? #
  • Nice dinner with family. Now retiring to practice piano :P #
  • Never got to touch the keyboard. Ended up doing family tech support instead :\ #
