I for one welcome our new Apple tablet overlords: http://www.macrumors.com/2009... - oh, and "the iPhone is dead!" just for @jont and @MarkPower ;)
...unfortunate because I agree with @djplaner almost entirely, IT does need to be flexible;certainly needs to communicate better;...
...and suggest alternatives,not stiffle innovation,but that's what it is sonetimes percieved as: "I want exactly this and you said no! :("
Unfortunately unable to comment on http://davidtjones.wordpress.com/2009... by @djplaner RE:innovation provention dept/IT although it quotes my blog rant...
...but sometimes there are good reasons why the ideas put forward for innovation are flawed;IT's role is then to understand the business...
Thanks for the response to my comment too Steve :) http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.com/2009... @timbuckteeth
Can't even mount XP virtual drive to do it as vhdmount (from Virtual Server) refuses to mount it, snafu that complete takes real effort! #fb
Wow,realising again how tiny UK is: http://www.newscientist.com/gallery... from article re:new ways to "unfold" Earth http://www.newscientist.com/article... thx @newscientist #fb
So,I've just about made my laptop unusable now.Outlook 2007 doesn't like Office 2010 spell checker bits &XP virtual machine now dead too #fb
Hard times ahead in UK HE http://news.bbc.co.uk/2... - wondering how that 25% increase since 1997 compares to increase in student numbers too
@jont isn't that to be expected with stats? It's all voodoo and magic that only works if you believe it is my impression :)
Been expecting the harsh cuts in HE funding since UCISA conference in Feb where guy from HEFCE put it very bluntly in speech to expect it
@jont have you looked at PSPP as alternative to SPSS? open source etc. I know little about it;was advised of it by academics in Maths&Stats
@jont Win7 itself is about the only thing that's still OK with it all..office 2010 would be OK but not until our exchange server updated too
@jont over all,I've been cursing more than ever at machine,but all A/V, &other such issues.OS itself pretty OK-not perfect but I'm picky :)
XP virtual machine last straw was by killing additional startup processes but not tidying up registry too, now can't start it to tidy it #fb
I snapped this during the walk in to work this morning &wishing I could have spent hours taking more photos:) #fb http://twitpic.com/sy17e

Just left comment on "Message To All Skeptics" http://realguide.wordpress.com/2009... - have to see if they approve it to be visible (link via @SkepticZone)
Hear hear! RT @hyperlocavore: Why do media report 'the other side' of scientific fact? http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display... #badscience (link via @HallyMk1)
@jamesclay @timbuckteeth quite correct-there is a simple add on for PPT from SAP that Josie pointed out a week or so ago :)
@simonblackwell I remember Freeman hardy and Willis yes :)
Ahh, so that explains why I had a tweet from a playboy bunny in my timeline! http://help.twitter.com/forums...
Or Students who enjoy subject study it AND do well,eg 2 sides of same coin,rather than any cause/effect IMO: http://www.flickr.com/photos... @daveyp
I tried an analogy i'm planning to use for #vleundead next week on collegue-seemed to go well so prob keep it :) http://vleundead.ning.com
Got Dragons Lair for iPhone.never played it in arcades &wanted to give it a go:can now say it's rubbish &too easy with infinate lives :) #fb
Do we need some new ettiquette rules? Eg:It is responsibilty of person NOT texting to avoid person walking the other way #newettiquette #fb
@astraman12001 nah,got fed up avoiding other people today then thought:well, if everyone is doing it,we need to accept it :) #newettiquette
@adamread I also moved; now only 10mins walk from work rather than commuting every day, so the green tranport policy worked on me :)
Sitting waiting for a 'fasting blood test', so also waiting for breakfast eventually :)
@mhawksey cool work - might need to copy that idea myself too :)
