@soyoungshin very fair. Impressed you made it stateside given what the quarter inch of snow has done to the UK. Happy Christmas!

Baby sitting The Cousins with no access to wifi. Can only play with one of my new toys. But, new toys! Woot!

Just realized that the last couple of hours shopping time have just been organized away from me. Woohoo! Christmas stress kicking in.

@martinfowler intellij 9 seems pretty good. Now, if only intellij left the ipr and iml files well alone it'd be great.

@jamescarr the problem is, I like music to code by but sit in an open plan office.

@dhanji you'd replace SoftReferences with an ill-thought through use of biomass, then batteries, then hydrogen? I can't see that working.

@dhanji but what should you use instead of SoftReferences?

Once it's up and running, the pre is pretty slick. Exploring the UI more now. Next up: try getting an HTML 5 app written and running on it.

@jhuggins is the fifth stage "rejection" or "coruscating hate"?

@tirsen switching palm profiles helps. Problem is the new PAYG SIM isn't activated & there's no way to do so until palm contacted home.

Argh! Palm Pre is driving me just a little mad. Top item on the wish list? Let me get on to the phone without 3G (use wifi!)

@tirsen so I'm trapped in a catch 22. No network, no profile therefore no phone, so unable to make validation call, so no network. Or wifi.

Top tip: never have more than one Palm Profile. *sigh* Fixing things now.

Thankfully, I have a spare PAYG SIM around. Time to create profile with spare SIM, shut down phone, put in the new SIM and set everything up

Wonder if it's possible to create a Palm Profile on the Palm site and then connect to that? Because my PAYG SIM needs a working phone first.

Or, perhaps, get the Pre to recognise the unsecured network I'm sitting in.

A shortcut of grand and epic dimensions. It's taken considerably longer to get home than expected. Christmas shopping? Almost done. Yay!

@soyoungshin you're trapped in this country for two days and the pubs are open? Doesn't sound like the worst stranding.

@allen the weather's seasonal, which is fine so long as you don't go out.

@ajitgeorge "chrimbo"? It's a shorter way of saying Christmas. I shall now appeal to urban dictionary for proof: http://www.urbandictionary.com/iphone...

Wrapping Christmas presents and spending a relaxing day with The Wife. Is chrimbo really so soon?

Been home, eaten too much food. Now the fairy is stealing the show at Sandi Toksvig's variety show.

Not totally reassured by the taxi driver emphatically and repeatedly telling me he "knows the way"

Free airport wireless makes traveling so much nicer. Now, if only there were more power outlets :)

@dannyhawkins yes. Selenium 2.0a1 should work fine on snow leopard.
