  • @ruskin147 Surprised you can get internet on the train. My 3G stick only works up front in first class, it is a tiny pain in the… #
  • @ruskin147 Ah. Still, £15 is not too much for you’re journey. I hear Virgin are rolling out Wi-Fi this year… #
  • Service Bulletin for my train tonight. Preston to Edinburgh delayed by as much as 30min. Woot! #
  • My daddy is an expert driver covering a mile and a half a minute (average) to get me to Lockerbie for the train. #
  • Three first class cars to myself. Lovely. #
  • As arrived in Edinburgh. Now I can charge my phone, iPhone and headphones which all died on the train! #

  • I like Amazon.ca, they send you emails in French :p #
  • The National Express East Coast website makes me happy. It is where I book all my travel! #
  • @acedtect Voted by post? Where’s the fun in that?! #
  • First Class Advance fair between Lockerbie and Edin: £48.00. Or buy at the station on the day of travel (usually more expensive) £18.30! #
  • Thinking about maybe going to G’gow and hanging out at BBC Pacific Quay - I hear they have wi-fi. I’ll have to see they are open to pubic… #

  • @GrantMc Cooking for one is a pain in the ass. I try to avoid it when I can! Still, i guess I’ll give it a go… #
  • @MichaelYurechko Call them. Bitch loud and bitch often! #
  • The £6.99 price point for iTunes moves is great. I’m just not excited about ‘owning’ digital downloads. #
  • In other news, the screen on my MBP is actually fucked (hardware) so I’m in the market for a new notebook… #
  • The only time I ever want to see Fasthosts Ltd is in Small Claims getting my money back! Watch out 1&1, you are next on my list! #
  • Having used Bento again, I have come to the conclusion that it sucks. Why can’t I run reports? #

  • Still thinking about how best to use my Twitter account. I’m slightly concerned that I’m going down a quantity not quality route… #
  • Nigel Paine is talking at Napier next month - should I go? #

  • @GrantMc What the fuck is ‘posh ham’? #

  • @leerichards And why do I never fall asleep until after 5am? (Good morning) #
  • Hey, can I have Time Machine back up to a Windows share? #
  • Well that was stupidly easy. Now backing-up over the WLAN, remind me to connect an actual cable next time! #
  • @alimony Don’t like it, has done nothing about the rain in Scotland. When will the BBC start being pro-active about the weather?! #
  • In port forwarding hell. Two routers = bad idea. #
  • Two of my flatmates have just entered the shower room together. Either they are spies talking in private or something else… #
  • The running water masks the sound, which is good unless they are spies - then I want in on the game! #
  • Oh and yes, I did run CAT5e to my bedside today - so I can hook up in bed! #
  • Dear Information Commissioner, sorry but I really must look at confidential information including credit card numbers at train station. :P #
  • @chrishamilton I took delivery of a torn um empty box from City-Link today. Edinburgh is a harsh place to a a letter or postal packet. #
  • Train delayed another 30min, wrong kind of weather outside. Or something like that… #
  • How can a train that STARTS in EDINBURGH be DELAYED 30 minutes before it even LEAVES EDINBURGH #
  • Oh in other news, I’m now ‘Online IP, Brand and social networking ‘manager” for one of these online content companies. Fun, eh? #
  • @Suburbman, my latest follower seems like he has a lot of value to add to my twitter experience. Might follow him… #
  • @ruskin147 and you didn’t think about Skype-ing me? I thought we were buddies, dude! lol #
  • On the train. Lovely. #
  • And the train is moving. #
  • Only two people in first class and we are sitting next to each other. Again, lovely. #
