  • @m_p_p Is it meant to? in reply to m_p_p #
  • One week until the first @magmug meeting. I'm excited! Be sure to RSVP on the Facebook event! http://bit.ly/34XKvI #
  • Trains are running over 10 minutes late. And the last one was so packed I couldn't even get on it! #
  • Just realised we have 5 boxes of tissues in the office. Surely we don't need that many. #
  • Damn you Amazon – offering me with cheap magazines as a "reward" then during checkout telling me I can't have them! #slapintheface #
  • Just ordered "Heat Wave" by @WriteRCastle – now I can't wait for it to arrive! #
  • In a queue to get an autograph from Matthew Reilly. Seems my weekends have become about queues and autographs. #

Intrigued by a post I found on Alexander Dickson’s blog, I had a go at the Zend PHP 5 Certification Self Test. I scored an average 5/8, which is apparently enough to be told “It looks like you are ready to take the Zend PHP Certification exam.” Will I do it? Perhaps – it’s not that expensive – but does anyone really care about certifications? After the Magento Certification I’m in no hurry to do another one!

  • @chadnickbok I've been looking into XBMC recently – pretty good, unless you need full PVR functionality. in reply to chadnickbok #
  • RT @lloydhazlett: Mad Men S2 on store bought blu ray, disc 1 has ads that play each view as your reward for purchasing #fail #slapintheface #
  • RT @alyankovic: Isn’t it ironic that Alanis Morissette doesn’t know the definition of the word “ironic”? #funnyin1996 #
  • RT @magmug: Blog: Inaugural Meeting – Oct 27th @ 7pm http://bit.ly/4sr4eE #
  • Excellent! RT @magento: Magento – Now Officially Accepting Code Contributions – http://bit.ly/1aiCle #
  • @chadnickbok Of course! in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Ah, peace and quiet. Time to get some actual work done. #
  • Why do drive thru customers get priority over walk in customers? #slapintheface #
  • Just bought xkcd volume 0, along with a funky xkcd poster for the office http://store.xkcd.com/xkcd/#xkcdvolume0 #
  • @chadnickbok Laputa? in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Cleaning out some of my feeds from Google Reader. As if I really need to keep up with the latest game technologies! #
  • @tcmg Wait – you're using Google Wave? No fair! in reply to tcmg #
  • I always forget how fantastic high def anime looks on a big screen! #
  • I also always forget how crap Windows is! Funny how I can watch a video and get a random BSOD halfway through. Fail. #
  • The queue to get in to Armageddon is huge! Guess I should have brought supplies… #
  • Almost walked right into Joe Flanigan. He needs better crowd-parters. #
  • Got my autographs and shopping done at Armegeddon. Heading home before my feet decide to abandon me. #

I discovered Shazam in the Ovi Store list of recommended apps. This is something iPhone users have had for a while but has had only limited availability for Symbian devices. Curious, I decided to try it out.
