Thanks everyone for your birthday messages :-)
Annoyed with people making critical changes on Friday afternoon, then going home and not being around to watch the sky fall
@seanhandley well done :P
anyone know how to parse a php serialized array in c# easily?
@charlie_elise you should get them to invest in a cheap laser printer
@charlie_elise how?
@glitchkitty I wish!
@jonhurlock i see you are off to FOWA in October - I assume you got the student ticket?
@frosty @glitchkitty exactly. You should see some of the 3rd party systems I need to work with, comissioned by someone who knows nothing
@frosty @glitchkitty The issue is the fact that numpty managers with no IT experience are in charge of setting up and managing IT systems
@charlie_elise cool :-)
@charlie_elise hywel has no internet connection in bristol - i’ll send him a text for you
@jonhurlock I am, but haven’t been paying much attention today - lots of work to get on with!

Popped out to see the Olympic medallists in their open top bus… waited 30 minutes but no sign of them, so came back.
@seymansey I’ve had that recently - can’t get the mySQL service on a box to keep running & get notified whenever it goes down

Heading to Plymouth for the weekend.
Woo, finally finished the new company website - will be launching within the next hour
@frosty unfortunately I can definitely believe it - securing this data is very uncommon
looking forward to a mug of cocoa after teaching @charlie_elise how to swim
some muppet upstairs just set the fire alarms off - had to go through the laborious process of securing the office
@charlie_elise sounds like a good idea to me.
back from the pub - no problem when a student, suddenly feel bad about it now. :( want to be a student again.
@glitchkitty any particular reason?
@charlie_elise yup its here already. it’ll take a bit of getting used to, but really pleased so far
setting up my eeePC
@seanhandley ah, port blocking - always fun in Windows Server. Somehow we lost port 25 on one of our boxes a few weeks ago - not good!
@seanhandley what’s the problem with it?
@jonhurlock- luckily, i have small fingers!
Just ordered an Asus EEEPC
@shepherdnick a Leeloo? isn’t she a character from the Fifth Element?
trying to decide between a laptop or UMPC
laptop has finally given up the ghost
Wooo, After 5 weeks I finally managed to beat ASP.Net DataLists into submission - standards complaint output at long last!!
@ruskin147 I use SMS all the time as I don’t have to keep checking the websites or apps.
wondering if sending messages to australia via the UK number could be the problem? sounds expensive!
@shepherdnick advertising or even a subscription package for sms updates would probably work.
Pissed that Twitter is stopping SMS updates in the UK http://tinyurl.com/6y6a69
@gimboland Happy to oblige
A 2 minute walk, with waterproof & umbrella. Yet I’m still drenched.
Back from swimming - absolutely nackered
Liking the DataCase iPhone app - won’t have to worry about emailing files home anymore! http://tinyurl.com/67ejyn
heading to the Gym
why does everything always work fine until 5pm on a Friday afternoon?!
hmmm, domino’s lunch :P
@hrvaughan link?
Catching the late earlier train than is later than my normal train.
Waiting for a delayed train :-(
@frosty powerpoint really isn’t designed for that purpose!
