It's been a bit quiet from me online this month: I've been busy getting married and honeymooning. Exhilarated, exhausted, but very happy.
I love web apps and SaaS, except when my card is about to expire and I have 22 (so far) separate billing settings to update. Kill me now.

Phil Neville’s monotone has achieved the impossible: making me wish I could watch ITV and Andy Townsend.
Robben’s hard to love, but what a goal that was. Holland superb.

I’ve somehow been subscribed to a civil engineering recruitment postal list from Hays. We hire Rails engineers but not actual railway ones!
@YammerSupport Is there a way to mark all my unread messages as read? I’ve got 99+ and most are stale.
