- Working this morning out of the office; at parents. They play with Dylan – I get some work done! #
- Time for a caffeine slingshot. Double espresso and a 30 minute kip. BRB! #
- Ok so I'm lying thereon my caffeine high, dreaming up all kinds of applications for the iPad. I'm thinking fixed kiosks for small biz atm. #
- Manufacturing problems with Apple iPad production may limit the initial launch to the US only. http://bit.ly/dpqg5i #iPad #Apple #
- Wow, can anyone else in Farnborough smell that aviation fuel (avgas) in the air? It's so thick you can feel it in your nose & throat. #
- Is Apple the new Primark? Sequins or touchscreens; it's bad when your supply chain uses kids, excessive hours and poor pay and conditions. #
- Does anyone have any info on the specific manufacturing 'bottleneck' with Apple's suppliers? Did the kids have to go back to school? :\ #
- A revealing interview with Sir Clive Sinclair, who doesn't 'use a computer at all' in the Guardian: http://bit.ly/cDplYl #
- Just thought I'd sign up for a two week DVD rental plan at Blockbuster for a £1 trial. They charged me £12.99 #BLOCKBUSTER #MATHS #FAIL #
- If I buy into Avis for 500 shares I get a perpetual 20% discount coupon. I think the savings might outweigh the shares plummeting to zero! #
- Oh dear, Avis aren't offering the shareholder discount anymore. I guess too many people bought Avis to get a discount coupon!
# - I seem to have caught that disease which makes one (usually blokes) order stuff late at night. I've just picked up some premium bonds. #
- I will pray to the gods of the premium bonds that I win next month. Just in time for a holiday. #
- What software do people use for designing classes? Visual Studio, Visio, some UML modeling software, Pen & Paper, something else? #
- I have today received two job offers, unsolicited. One is permanent the other, contract. I'm not even looking! Is the recession over now? #
- I have released another beta of ReceiptAgent (formerly FreeAgent Receipts) to the beta testers. Thanks guys, it couldn't be done without you #

- Powercut, great. And the UPS failed too
time to call the electric company… # - Power cut seems extensive, from Aldershot to Farnborough. Ground zero at Kingsmead. Expected outage for 2-3 hours, or possibly longer :/ #
- New neighbour just popped over with a broken laptop – showing a ton of trojans. Time to download a rescue disk iso! #
- A surprisingly warm day. Today is the first day of shorts and t-shirt weather #
- So, UK iPad pre-orders open next week. But does this mean I miss out on the possibility of a "surprise gift" from the Apple Store?
# - PLEASE stop growing, Apple! I was going to go in at 210, you're at 216+ now, since iPad announcement! http://tweetphoto.com/13321435 #
- Just exchanged a few emails with local MP re libel law reform. Might I have gotten him to change his mind? Time will tell… @SLSingh #libel #
- Apple's UK site now officially says that Apple iPad is coming "Late April". AAPL closes at 219.14 (+4% today). #
- At HSBC Basingstoke. There's a very big arguement going on in one of the side rooms. Sounds violent, and everyone is looking nervous! #

- Finally having a lovely meal at GBK #
