Long Day

This morning I felt a little sorry for Rick Wagoner, CEO of GM as he stoically accepted a "request" from the President of the USA to step down. This afternoon I can see why he was so calm about it when his payoff totals 23 million dollars.
 
Don't ever tell me there's only one set of rules. Between the golden parachutes, the scandal of bankers bonus payments for failure and MP's expenses we have entered another golden era of sleaze. What's got me confused is the seeming lack of anger from the general public. I'm going to be paying for this mess for the rest of my life and if recent stats hurled around by financial journalists are to be believed so are the next generation. God help them. As if they won't have been left enough of a legacy with global warming.
 
It feels like it's been a long day. I came off a lazy weekend, and had a bit of a non stop day with meetings, I ran my first demo / workshop to introduce twitter to some of the team at work, then into a quiz night to raise money for a child who has a terminal illness. After that drove 2 hours to hotel I'm staying at tonight in Bristol prior to a client visit tomorrow. So now it's heading towards midnight and I'm winding down trying to feel tired enough to sleep. I guess I feel weary rather than sleepy.
 
My quiz team finished 4th out of 11 but we woz robbed! Honest guv!

Ultimate Guide to Twitter

The people at webdesigner depot have published a great guide to Twitter titled "The Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter" .

And if your not on Twitter, why is that?

Spring has sprung...

Not sure the iPhone camera does the view justice. Lassie and I are watching the sun set by the lake. The tragedy of dropping my phone and cracking the glass is on the way to being sorted. I have an appointment at the Apple shop in Leicester on Friday.

A bit proud of myself...exchange to iphone synchronisation

I've managed to sync my exchange calendar at work with my Google calendar using Google Calendar Sync.

I've then managed to sync my Google Calendar with my iPhone using Nuevasync. NuevaSync allows direct, over-the-air, native synchronization of the iPhone with calendaring services including Google Calendar. OVER THE AIR i.e. no need even to dock my iPhone.

That's what I call a good days nerding.

Cold and windy today...

I'm sitting by the lake, watching the world go by. It's started to rain so I think we will head home. The wind is bitter!
