James Governor’s Monkchips » My Team Of The Year Award: IBM EightBar, Hursley Labs – "My Team of 2008 award goes to IBM’s Eight Bar at Hursley Labs. RedMonk celebrates makers and doers – these guys exemplify getting on with it."
The Arduino AA Undershield – A battery pack shield for Arduino.
Making Electricity Usage Graphs with the Current Cost device – Using rrdtool to log currentcost data. rrdtool is one of those things that I've never quite spent enough time understanding.
Spectacular HomeCamp feedback! – Some talk heads about HomeCamp. Interesting to hear what people got out of the event. I'm in there somewhere babbling on a bit wishing I had thought about what to say first.
Tinker it now! » Stuff and things – My arduino hacking gets a mention on tinker.it.

wondering if @BTCare and @bt_faults talk to each other... :)

Even more disappointed that I created an audible.co.uk account before discovering this fact.

Disappointed to be unable to take up the Guardian's offer of free audible.co.uk books due to their complete lack of Linux support.

Riding the steam train around lakeside park. Much more civilised way to do it than #parkrun.

Annoyed with bt. They claim no one was in this am when they came to fix phone. We were in and been up since 7am /cc @bt_faults #btfail

so twitsms has decided not to move to OAuth... leaving me without sms notifications. Alternatives?

Going to dConstruct would have been a much better way to spend today.

Bought an iPad. The self-loathing will reduce over time. Especially the more #WordsWithFriends I play.

A BT van was on our street today and now our phone-line is broken (but oddly broadband works fine). #btfail
