  • 09:15am: Just saw a cycle hire employee wiping down each individual bike stand on Golden Lane. Best kept street furniture ever.
  • 09:17am: @moleitau What to do with siliconroundabout.ning.com ? IPO!
  • 11:22am: Unsure how to determine the shape of possibly vague areas (Paddington, Smithfield, etc) in the 17th century. May make it up, create history.
  • 11:38am: @antimega Hmm, need more maps. Maps with boundaries.
  • 12:14pm: @Zoonie But... that's not on the internet! I don't understand!
  • 12:17pm: Best resource for old areas of London yet, via @stml: http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/str... Thanks!
  • 01:30pm: Thinking about the most embarrassing combinations of Facebook friends I can check in to Places together.
  • 02:17pm: @natts "your friends can, by default, check you in without your explicit approval or permission." http://bit.ly/duPo4H @jaggeree
  • 02:56pm: @natts Ah, at least they check your pref first time: "How can I allow my friends to check me into Places?" http://bit.ly/dhPaur @jaggeree
  • 04:59pm: @gwire That's what they told me when I called the store earlier in the week to ask about queues: "There is no queue, we have no iPhone 4s."
  • 08:33pm: Just tried the demo of Madden 11. Looks incredible. Mostly baffling. Also, despite authenticity all the fans are young, slim and attractive.
  • 09:40pm: @phl Yes 360. No intro/help at all. Had *no* idea how to do anything with defense. Offense, maybe, after lots of practice. Still won though.
  • 10:28pm: @phl I enjoyed this article about the history of the game, and creating the first version: http://es.pn/atAQmN
