Nice day at lords yesterday. England lost but as usual that’s not really news.
My grandfather would have loved this.

I’ve been playing with instagram and its really nice. Makes my ham handed photos look quite nice. This one of Liz drinking coffee is my new iPad lock screen.

Of course BT lies – they claim up to 20Mb but I get 21 – what’s up with that?

This is how you want to be upgrading Linux..

Pintxos on westbourne grove is really cool. They have these little snacks which you just collect and then pay – by the stick – for at the end.

Updated the iPhone to ios 4.0.2 this morning and discovered along the way that iTunes kindly keeps a copy of every old version I’ve ever installed. Poking about in my library folder under iTunes I found about 3 gigs worth of old system images. Now gone, my free space looks much more sensible.

More and more I’m using href="http://claytonnash.tumblr.com">Tumblr to post

Update Jan 2011: the above is all lies

Chrome seems like a nice browser and almost ready for prime time. It’s probably as stable as Safari was 6 months ago.
It’s not yet as pretty as Safari – the tabs interface in particular is not too well thought out. I often have 30-40 tabs open in Safari and it gets really weird with Chrome – every tab just gets a little smaller across the top of the window and really tough to see.
The other thing I miss is my flash blocking which with Safari works like a charm – flash doesn’t exist but you can easily click to watch a you tube video or some such – Chrome just has all the flash nastiness of the web all exposed.
I’m not ready to jump yet – I think Safari with process isolation would be just as good as chrome so I”m not sure what I’d be getting.
