Thanks, Man.
I lost 6 hours of debugging figuring this out. Only if I knew that the answer was a google away.

Thanks Jesse – I didn’t realise there was a film so I’ll look out for that.

Nifty! I’ve been thinking about reading this myself. I wound up reading Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities” instead. There’s a movie of “The Manuscript Found in Sargossa”, which I enjoyed.

Yeh, you probably should give it a go. If you don’t get anything out of it you can drop it easily enough.

Hey Mike! Good point – I guess if you have a critical mass of friends and family using a tool then its use becomes self-evident. Perhaps it is a generational thing after all – I use my blog and delicious to share stuff, email and txt for status updates/requests for information because those are the channels I know my friends will check. As for having nothing to do tonight, well, I can just about remember those days…

It’s odd to think that when I was an undergraduate, I only knew one student who had a mobile phone, no one outside of Computer Science owned a computer and my friends and I considered ourselves to be pretty advanced because we had a land line installed in our student house (no more queuing for the pay phones for us!). By the time I did my postgrad, most of the people I knew had mortgages, pets and children so meeting up tended to be more formal and planned in advance. And I’m honestly not *that* old

Maybe I should give twitter a second chance. Or a first for that matter.

I guess I see twitter as a combination of social bookmarking sites (sharing cool stuff with people), just letting my friends and wider circle know what I’m up to and asking for information/help/something to do. Enough of my friends read Twitter or my Facebook status now that I can say “I’m bored and have nothing to do tonight” and will get invites to things
