The point-to-point is the point

A comment on Ask the Wizard’s post about obviousness bemoans the non-obviousness of a particular social network’s use:

You wouldn’t happen to have a video you could link to of that person who showed you Twitter being valuable. Why? Because I (still) don’t get it…

No more SMSes from Twitter in the UK

jp.stacey 14 August 2008
If you're twittering from the UK and wondering what happened to SMS push: it isn't merely down; it's gone.

Twitter are no longer delivering outbound SMSes over the UK number. A real shame, and while it's hard not to begrudge the mobile networks their cut, operators in the UK are notoriously expensive. If Ofcom weren't so legislatively toothless and ministers so technologically clueless then maybe we'd still have a system that Canada, India and the US are still enjoying. Other moblogging systems are available, of course, if you're willing to buy new kit to replace an already functional infrastructure.

The last person in the audience who historically doesn't enjoy an Oxford Geek Night---me---is finally relaxing and having fun at them.

Last night's Oxford Geek Night was completely mental.

Oxford Geek Nights reach double digits on January 21st

jp.stacey 7 January 2009
The tenth Oxford Geek Night is my seventh, and I've just got the hang of the PA.

It's the tenth Oxford Geek Night in two weeks! Who would have thought nearly two years ago that Natalie's brainchild would ever make it to the grand old age of ten? And the OGNs are striding purposefully towards their teens with two great keynote speakers.

First up will be Elliot Jay Stocks, designer and writer for .net.

  • @hatmandu as someone who says "goodbye" on regular basis yet is heathen, recommend "godparents." Etymology is not meaning (I'm a godparent.) #
  • Back from London. It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't recommend anyone live there. #
  • #mythicbeasts database server down; email to support also down. Hrm.

  • Five or six bird-scarers going off in fields nr Eynsham, every 10 mins each, 3 wallops like falling ordnance. This isn't Jam and Jerusalem. #
  • The thing about @ replies is that if you're not on Twitter all the time, you tend to miss some until they're irrelevant. Sorry if I have! #

  • I can hear a noise apparently only audible to young people. It sounds like toothache, and is quite repellent. http://trainhorns.net/sound/ #
  • Went stargazing last night and completely blew our minds. Laptop + trestle table + http://www.stellarium.org/ . May not work in cities.

Probably my shortest ever blogpost

jp.stacey 9 March 2009
It's hardly worth writing a blogpost, if the excerpt contains precisely as many characters as the actual post itself, but I'll do it anyway.

Twitter has done my urge to blog a mischief, that's for certain. When I do write, I trim it down to 140 characters. Much like this, in fact.
