September 2008
moving between compfight, flickr, keynote plus pen and paper in a purposeful manner, fowa talk starting to flow
re-ripping lots of CDs as lossless, thankfully iTunes makes this pretty easy
second stage separation on the SpaceX Falcon 1 is sweet, at about 2:40 into flight
working on my fowa talk
buying a hifi has made me listen to music more intently, on headphones too, a nice side effect.
worried I’m getting ill
much reorganising, three rooms looking much better, tremendously satisfying
nesting reflex is taking over, reorganising the house for new arrival in a couple of months
foggy and cold in e17 today, well at 7am it was, now writing, then hopefully sunshine and fun later.
writing is a lot easier at 10 am than 10 pm.
trying and slightly succeeding to make my iMac G5 quieter, as it shares the room with the new hifi (mac mini, airport express etc to come)
off to get dinner and escape for the weekend. Play.com have black Shure SE110 for 25 quid with PLASHUX08, may be limited availability
apparently unintentional Nature cover and ad pairing http://tinyurl.com/4swpnp makes amusing US Election related commentry
interesting small world conversation confirms that I did hear what I thought I heard just before the 10pm news a couple of days ago, amusing
Left nice headphones at home, iPhone headphones found, very treble-y and weak in comparison
some item of software I’ve updated recently is memory leaking without an obvious trace, 4.5G swap and safari claims 1G, I’ve got 4G real =(
searching for photos of Russians in cyrillic works really well - win
Can haz hifi <bounce>
autechre is making my head feel like a machine, good I think. Though with my pxc450 headphones, http://is.gd/36Gj the cyborg might take hold
Palin is all over the place http://tinyurl.com/53j67y
did I really just hear a woman on news24 say over the countdown “glasses off, false tits in”, at about 10 seconds to 10pm?
Cabbing to Liverpool st with half my hifi, amp coming tomorrow, still excited
I definitely heard the words, but was a bit surprised to say the least, open gallery mic perhaps?
picnic reminds me that this time last year track was working on twitter
saving lunch til later when I’m picking up my hifi in Holborn, starving though, so eating biscuits - really just excited about my hifi =)
Dropping the car at the garage for for tlc
on hold with Apple, want to upgrade my macbook pro hard disk and retain applecare warranty, so probably an expensive apple store trip soon
Succesfully mending a wobbly toilet seat
lost a ui sketch, boo, blaming the arrival of the cinema display and desk upheaval, can recreate it I’m sure
storage likes being directly connected to a mac, external drive via new cinema display usb hub crawled, direct to macbook it is racing along
just realised metallica’s black album was 1991, I found it at home and just re-ripped it, 17 years ago, really?
last.fm found 3,653 scrobbles on your iPod - awesome, scrobbling finally kicks into life for my old iPod
second display arrived, much desk rearranging ensues
amused that the speakers stands I’m buying are called nexus 6
a decent amp and speakers shows that lossless is better than 256k AAC and that 128k and 192k are very flat, enough audio chat =)
compfighting
lovely weekend, now reconnecting with the concept of work. Buying hifi is great fun =) A walk in Epping and venison bbq made a great ending
hacking chunks out of one chapter and outline of another to integrate them more strongly, amusingly the chapter is on integration
omnnifocus as a music shopping list on your iPhone and macbook works brilliantly, and feels snap like as defined by @genmon
Had fun choosing hifi, a rotel amp and monitor audio speakers won, will pick up next week. Now relaxing in the malmaison in Clerkenwell.
underfloor heating in the next house, radiators make room layout much harder
writing first, then a holiday in clerkenwell and perhaps a hifi, back tomorrow
anyone else regularly encoding as Apple lossless vs 320/256 MP3?
trying to make a huawei e160g work with my macbookpro, dreadful software and conflicts with previous e220 modem drivers
hurt my knee chasing the oo down the stairs on my stomach this morning
finally exploring last.fm properly fed it 10k tracks, it seems like time
