Blank faces in the Maida Vale audience for Popscene. Plastic Blur fans.
Watching Blur's Maida Vale gig on BBC Red Button in preparation for Sunday's Olympics Hyde Park closing show. Spine-tingling This is a Low.
I've finally got broadband up-and-running at home. Two weeks of dog-slow GPRS over mobile are mercifully over.
House move done. Now off for a weekend on the Isle of Wight to escape the endless unpacking.
Last tweet not quite excited enough… Woo woo! I’m a homeowner! Yay! :)
Completed on our house earlier today. Since then, cleaning and last-minute packing before the actual move tomorrow. Tired but excited.
If @sparrow evolves into the Gmail (and Apps) Mac and iOS app then I’m happy.

I’ve also been packing boxes and calling utilities companies while home alone. Can’t wait to get back to work!
Today I have spent over £1600 on electrical goods, none of which have an Apple logo. Or even a USB port :(
Loved finally seeing The Stone Roses all together on Friday and then an epic 3-hour show from The Cure last night. Tonight: Radiohead.
There's not enough watery Heineken at this festival for me to enjoy Mumford and Sons.
Off to @optimusalive festival in Lisbon for the weekend. Stone Roses, The Cure and Radiohead await! And some lovely sun http://bfr.st/MlGkxE

Sod it. Right, Father Ted on More 4 has just started.
Getting football withdrawal symptoms.
The most intriguing part about this IFTTT announcement is their support for Belkin's (upcoming) WeMo devices. Want one http://blog.ifttt.com/post/25506427600/thenewifttt
Dismayed to discover that the best broadband speed I can hope for in my new house will be a pathetic 4Mbps. May as well live on the moon.

Heading to Queen’s Club to watch the theoretical tennis. Play looks unlikely given the rain today.
Explaining to a dismayed @larrylou100 that Euro 2012 means constant football every day forever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF_uOgyBK1c&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Dear Spain, give us Messi, Ronaldo and enough jamón for everyone and you can have your bailout.
Finally exchanged contracts on our new house! Moving to Virginia Water in Surrey next month.

Nice touch: each @GitHubJobs tweet is geo-tagged with the job’s location. Metadata doesn’t count towards 140 char limit = more description.

Forest, Villa and now Chelsea have won this thing. Arsenal, time to join them.
Right, Abramovich, time to take your money out of Chelsea. You've achieved what you wanted.
Looking to buy a flashy, premium PC desktop (not for me, of course) but no idea where to start. Recommendations?
.@github Pages has been a bit flaky recently. Our stats show two hours of downtime in total in the last week.
Happy St Totteringham's Day, Spuds! Amazing day of football all round.
