Watching again in disbelief, the message that @leeveewuh got from Alan Shearer to his new Mrs in his speech #TLwed http://flic.kr/p/9LgnPq
Busily uploading photos from an excellent weekend of watching our good buddies getting married. #TLwed http://t.co/fQ9L5hO
Lee has officially scuppered all future grooms in the room by featuring a video message to the bride from Alan Shearer. Idiot! #TLwed
Just caught a glimpse of the bride. Gobsmacked! Brace yourself @leeveewuh! #TLwed
Wishing I was around to see @jaffathecake give his excellent Javascript APIs talk at the Guardian today. I recommend stopping in if you can.
I will not fall asleep on the train home. I will not fall asleep on the….. Hmm? What?
Disappointed to be missing tonight’s showcase of recent Loewy work at the #loewyshows but I have a talk to write for tomorrow. Next time.
Chrome Frame install no longer requires admin rights. Is this a massive win for devs & users or a short-lived exploit? http://goo.gl/kBkEs
Unable to avoid thinking of Mitchell & Webb’s sketch while watching the be-cuff-linked idiots on #TheApprentice http://t.co/eIUu04M
Hoping that @jaffathecake is taking his birthday present of a “deadline crunch” as chance to display great character and good humour!
Ukulele shopping.
Enjoying feeling the force of the @psd rant hairdryer.
Loving watching our velocity climb. #pivotaltracker

Sad to miss our little family reunion, but turns out I was right to let my head rule my heart this time. Lots of snow here and more falling.
Trying to fathom how I ended up on a conference call, on a bench, in the freezing cold, in December.
Perhaps a little too much caffeine for me in our last minute pitch preparation. The cold Scottish air will sort me out. Ahhhhhh. Better.
“Chief Demonstration Officer” A job title at Citrix, not just someone who organises students to go and smash up Whitehall. Apparently
Chrome OS notebooks will be available globally in mid 2011. Acer, Samsung and more OEMs to come. Pilot program for beta testers sooner.
Bound for Victoria with @jaffathecake for a Google Chrome event.
Google’s webstore has a design which is incredibly reminiscent of iTunes store. Regular challenges yield similar design solutions I guess.
Chrome OS will have seamless automated software updates to keep it secure and dodge that PEBKAC issue. http://goo.gl/UDGUz
Google’s V8 javascript engine gets a speed boost taking it to around 100xfaster than IE’s engine of a couple of year ago (still in wide use)
Settling in for the slightly mysterious Chrome event at Google. Live streaming from Mountain View. Perhaps Crome OS and app store news.
The new PDF rendering in #chrome looks super fast. Brought to your browser via the seamless auto update with security fixes. Nice.
Hoping I can look Walt in the eye when he returns from the vet to find that he’s been robbed of the contents of his “gentleman’s coin purse”
Digging Fabric and @a_alfredo’s automated deployment fu. http://docs.fabfile.org
I love my iPhone4…. but wow! Google’s Nexus S with Android Gingerbread looks rather tasty! http://www.google.co.uk/nexus

Hoping that I’ll be able to say hello to some Bay Area folks when I visit San Fran after SXSW in March.
The need to renew my passport wins through: the mo must go!
Going home dejected after running around London & failing in my emergency passport renewal quest for a bizz trip on Monday. Crap w/e ahead.
Too many projects whizzing around in my head. Hoping that I can get away with ignoring some of them for a bit so that I can impact one.
Experiencing the pre-pitch twitch. The clock is ticking on the moment of truth for another exciting project at @theteam
Baffled at why a) light frost can delay my train so, and b) so many fellow travellers can’t keep their tinny, scratchy music to themselves.
Cooing at the javascript and canvas particle effects on http://me.com, but not digging the view source experience. Why so obtrusive, Apple?
Should be sleeping, but instead geeking out on http://vagrantup.com for light, scriptable VMs for predictable, contained dev environments
Some good stuff from @wadds on blogging practices, but writing book reviews on amazon as a strategy to create link love to your site? Yuk.
Listening to @wadds talking about blogging in business. Always wary of those espousing social media strategies in orgs but so far so good.
Watching in horror as @casablanca and @benpbarnett organise a little outing to a pantomime starring The Hoff. An unlikely business meeting.
Utterly let down by @edross78 as he fails to cry during his farewell speech at @theteam.
Since http://www.commentconference.com is about digital innovation, I hope @EdVaizey get’s thoroughly probed on his views on NetNeutrality
Why does working late coincide with cancelled trains?! Seeking out coffee to see me through my wait & dismissing thoughts of office sofas.
Happy to try @1mgoldstars’s excellent baking with @simondoggett and provide feedback at no charge. I’m just that much of a good guy.
Boo-hiss! @edvaizey, what on earth are thinking?! http://icanhaz.com/netnightmare
Booby trap. A near miss this morning. http://flic.kr/p/8TShT1
Ooh. It’s almost @24ways time again. Looking forward to this year’s batch of articles.
Thanks @hewy for your kind #movember contribution. I’ll keep the “ginger mist” until December 1st. http://uk.movember.com/mospace/1250714/
Thanks for the #movember donations @oliverpolden, @robb1e and @julielorman. http://uk.movember.com/mospace/1250714/
Committing to Movember. Hoping that a sponsor or 2 will stop me from just being a bloke with a dodgy ‘tash for a month! http://is.gd/h7w5Y
Being told that my Movember ‘tash is multicoloured. http://uk.movember.com/mospace/1250714 :{(
So, @robb1e. Which one are you? http://bit.ly/bfmEGX /cc @smellslikepete, @aoschner #movember
