mmetcalfe: @tbush If there's a distro for your netbook, just wipe XP and load it.
mmetcalfe: I like the full screen view in Pages '09, except why can't I make the background translucent so I can see my notes.
mmetcalfe: @kulor Life never waits for the camera. Either never put it away, or get a decent compact like a GR Digital or Panasonic Lumix LX3
mmetcalfe: @tbush @fstoner: Do your lot block XMPP (Google chat?) I find IM+Google Docs is a good substitute for email-based collaboration. No, better!
mmetcalfe: @tbush Stick Ubuntu on the netbook.
mmetcalfe: @cubicgarden What does "claiming back our culture" imply for mass culture? To what extent is mass culture not "our" culture?
mmetcalfe: @cubicgarden So it poses interesting questions about cultural diffusion
mmetcalfe: @cubicgarden This is very interesting, Ian - how would advertising for programmes be done in a world of downloads?
mmetcalfe: @virtualewit Blogged a bit from ALT-C using iBlogger. Worked well.
mmetcalfe: @virtualewit iBlogger. Works with anything. Very responsive developers.
mmetcalfe: @devilgate: Twitter is the new Facebook? I've never really got on with the Facebook social monolith.

mmetcalfe: Hmm... should I allow Twitter to update my FB status?
mmetcalfe: @fstoner RTM is cool also - could you not mash up your RTM feed with Amazon?
mmetcalfe: Somehow upgrading my iTunes library to iTunes plus has caused a couple of Massive Attack albums to lose most of their tracks. Odd
mmetcalfe: @fstoner I use a GTD app for this (OmniFocus). You could use Things also
mmetcalfe: @lancew Gibralta, the Channel Islands?
mmetcalfe: @LiamJHayter It is a Nabaztag - they have RFID readers in them
mmetcalfe: Though not with the rabbit. Hmm
mmetcalfe: Got my Oyster card working with the Mirror
mmetcalfe: Having a coffee in Costa's. Unusually, it's utterly disgusting, with a disinfectant aftertaste
mmetcalfe: @BLE1 Problem with Mail is easily repaired - fix released. Though if you use any 3rd party Mail plugins, these need updating
mmetcalfe: @cubicgarden Good grief! Well made but rather crude satire.
mmetcalfe: @BLE1 Apparently you should make sure your firmware is up to date before running the 10.5.6 updater. Firmware will be in Software Update
