Fuck! I knew sleep would be dangerous. Somebody give the last four hours of my life back!

iPod nano (4 GB, White, 1st Generation) →
May have just bought my third iPod nano. I don’t know what for. But this is one of my favourite iPods. I like the fact that — unlike the iPod minis and the later iPod nanos — it had the classic glossy-white-up-front, chrome-on-the-back look, and bore some resemblance to its bigger sibling at the time, the fifth-generation iPod, a.k.a. the “iPod video”. It’s quite unique in that way. ...

Dead ends like these make me doubt myself. It’s such a horrible feeling. I hate myself.

“Proposed to my beautiful partner Alysha this evening. Now engaged and happy as...”
– @GlennWolsey I came across his Flickr stream several years ago and loved his stuff. He’s the reason why I have a Flickr account — I rarely use it; it exists mainly so I can favourite others’ pics — and how I became aware of this photography “thing”, and that it involves fancy expensive...

What the fucking fuck? Updating to 4.2.1 is a restore rather than just an update‽ Somebody should’ve been more explicit about this last night before I went to bed! No wonder I didn’t hear any alarms this morning. And why the fuck is it a restore anyway? This is a fucking phone! I need it to work on demand! You’re basically doing a reinstall of the OS. How would you like it if...

It’s been a while since I last did it, but I just edited Wikipedia. Updated the “Legal status” section to include more info and reflect the now-expired ban of Red Bull in France. You’re welcome.

Designing Cases for iPod, iPhone, and iPad →
Apple’s got a page where you can freely download dimensional drawings of their non‑MacBook mobile devices. But what about other manufacturers? What about Palm? Or HTC? Where are theirs?

Breaking Down the Breakup →
Gleb Budman, Backblaze’s CEO, walks through the company’s nearly-got-bought experience. Fascinating and eye-opening read for me, since I have no idea how acquisitions — the process, the steps, the details etc. — actually work.

If I sync a folder from my local iDisk with Live Mesh, will the universe explode? I’m thinking of moving my work folder — which I already sync between my MacBook and PC via Live Mesh — to iDisk so that I can access everything from my iPad without having to think whether I’d already made an extra copy of that file just for this occasion.

Facebook Neue →
I’ve replaced Facebook Cleaner with this. Lovely stuff, with just a few niggles that I’m sure will be sorted out.

Watching F1: 2010 Abu Dhabi GP
Webber, Vettel, or Hamilton. Just not Alonso. Will need Had to go into uni later to sort out the MPC group coursework, so I’ll need to remember to bring headphones or something, and do this so I’m only catching up on it now via iPlayer. “Right in the thick of it”, to the point where the camera’s lost the presenters. Eddie! What was that? Did Liuzzi missed Schumacher’s...

How do people use prompters? How are you supposed to read from a moving, scrolling stream of text?

Wish I wasn’t restricted to A3 boards. Could definitely do with something with a wider aspect ratio.

Watching F1: 2010 Brazilian GP
Today, I just want Hulkenberg to win. And for Alonso to not win the championship. What’s that music in the Ferrari video? Sauber got robbed? How come that wasn’t in the news? Wait, F1 is in HD now?! Is it just a temporary one‑off, or has the schedule been moved forwards? Damn, Hulkenberg’s down. How is Button in front of Schumacher? Ooh… Schumacher passed Button. ...
