Well sort of anyway, I sent a few Twitter's and photos to Flickr it just seems liveblogging is the popular thing to do. From the first recording of L through The Small Mercies, Chillaton and You Me And The Atom Bomb in fact the whole list.

I should really take some pics on Open Mic Nights and send them to Flickr. So, keep an eye out.

After the last few days wobbliness this site should be hopefully working as normal now. The reason for the weirdness was that I was trying to get Habari running and my host did some tweakage to the server which unfortunately my admittedly increasingly Heath-Robinson like WordPress install took a slight dive for the worse at having the shock of PHP5 thrust upon it.

I think was also having some comment problems previously to that (or at least some friends reported their inability to comment) so please try leaving a comment and if you have any problems dont forget to email me with the error or even a screen grab.

BTW, I think we have some great Fawcett Inn recordings coming up so please, spread the word and get friends and family listening to this live music recorded by me and Jon (we also set up all the cables/mics etc) for free at our favourite local pub.

The latest Bungie.net Podcast has some interesting details about the early days of Halo and Microsoft's taking over of Bungie then Bungie's recent split form Microsoft.

He's done it, he shows how it can be used within a site's structure, he found a good size was 158px x 158px and he's done it.

A custom webclip for the iPod Touch & iPhone of course, it's all the rage.

This new frowney face is taken from my Halo 3 profile.

The wonderfully great BritishMac is back with a new podcast! I strongly urge you to subscribe, download and listen! BritishMac has been away for a few months as Will has an NDA from Apple (Ooo, I wonder what he's working on with Apple). BTW Will, if you do get the hex password for the WEP wifi don't forget to precede it with a dollar ($) symbol.

It's been a while since I regularly used and indeed paid for NetNewsWire, I have since tried various online feed readers, toyed with the pay-for (and I think now deceased) FeedLounge then finally started using GReader and to the best of my knowledge NetNewsWire doesn't sync with GReader. None-the-less it is good to hear that NetNewsWire 3.1 is free. Yay!

There is a back log of Fawcett recordings. Don't worry, they're on their way.

...Xbox Live General Manager Marc Whitten states in a letter to customers that, as recompense for nearly two weeks of outages, the group is offering up a full, free Xbox Live Arcade title free of charge. #

As someone finding finding games in Call of Duty 4 a real headache I can certainly attest to the ropeyness of XBL at the moment. I'm not sure I really want a free game as compensation though. Just get it working MS.

I cant stand istockphoto and it’s ilk, Johnny Nobody uploads his craps photos/pics in the hope of someone buying this shit. It’s no better than deviant art for signal-to-noise ratio. Please someone take down these sites or atleast employ someone on these sites to filter the shit.

Recently at my college, a spoken word artist performed. He was also agnostic, and one poem he wrote in particular spoke to me. He compared God to Diet Coke, saying that Diet Coke helps him get through the hard times in the same way that God helps others.

Just another one of the many erudite emails sent to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I just don't understand why specifically Diet Coke.

I had a go at an iPhone ringtone in Garageband. Download it and give it a try yourself. Here's a regular MP3 version also. #

Most of my referrers in Flickr's stats seem to be from link spammers or even non-existent sites.

A Microsoft blogger revealed yesterday that the next version of Windows ("Windows 7") will contain touch features with specific claims that the new features will 'blow away' the current touch features on the iPhone

So the next version of Windows, not due till 2010 will 'blow away' the current iPhone's touch features? Hmm, think about that one MS. Where do you think the iPhone will be in 3 years time whilst you're sill playing catchup?

You'll notice if you have a look at The Fawcett Inn page you'll notice in addition to the list of upcoming events at The Fawcett there's an easy to access .mac calendar and Google calendar, you can subscribe to or download the .ics to so you can keep up-to-date with the happenings at The Fawcett Inn.

Hicks has updated his gReader beautifier to 1.31.

Yesterday we concluded that all mobile phones are shit and this one is no exception. The industry has managed to pack an incredible about of technology into a small object, such that it would be indistinguishable from magic 20 years ago, and yet make the whole experience of using the thing more irritating than irritated bowel syndrome.

Well, not quite yet maybe, but there seems to be a rush of free wifi. Wetherspoons, and McDonalds to name but 2. There is also TheCloud which whilst not entirely free, does seem to have started pricing itself somewhat sensibly if you have an iPhone (free with O2) or an iPod Touch (£3.99pm) whilst Pay-As-You-Go is still crazily expensive. Is this the end of outrageously priced wifi? I for one hope so. Hat tip.

“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

I've yet to try it myself, but ies4osx is supposed to run Internet Explorer for Windows very capably - If you have an Intel Mac.

Yes, today is indeed iPhone Day UK. Was I the first to tweet this fact from my (soon to be ex-) mobile?

Too bloody-well-right! Oh yeah, that includes thecloud wifi too!

I should be up in London at MacLiveExpo tomorrow. Maybe I'll see you there.

It's not available for me yet, but maybe I'll give Mail.app another go when my Gmail gets IMAP. Hopefully it won't decide to download all 554mb of email. Google even have instructions how to set up an iPhone for IMAP.
