Thank You! Hopefully sometime soon, but I finding writing about myself boring and it's at the bottom of my to-do list. Wordpress isn't involved, but this weblog will still exist at kylemayne.com/weblog (actually it's already there). I just need to find some way of moving the comments over (stupid Disqus!)

Just noticed your blog Kyle, hope you are enjoyng the MRes.

The controls reminded me of a discussion we once had about interfaces for the elderly (with Pete Bagnall and others, Pete is ex-MReser and perpetual PhD-er in the dept. doing tablet-based communication interfaces for the elderly). I wondered about instead of having a single remote, instead having a plastic shopping bag full of different controls, all wth nice big uttons: one a siple on/off, another a channel changer, another old tape-recorder like controls (that reveal theor state intrinsically) for VCR. You reach in, grab the control you want ...

I did think about above comment spam, although they know my obsession with iPods so I've decided to let it pass. I wonder which ex-Information Systems student left this...

Buying wallpaper to colour in when one could simply have a wank and a cup of tea? Or maybe a shuffle with the iPods. Madness.

You can remove Set 2 :P For instance within Google, they will present weather information as the first search result, with graphical representation too. If you search 'weather South Shields' on the bbc.co.uk site, the results aren't exactly predictable.

I understand that majority of users will use the search box for weather information, but for those that choose the outlined method above, accessibility should have been carefully considered. The site isn't failing (unless your town isn't on there), it can just be greatly improved...

Sky+ in Australia Dave? I didn't know they had TVs, yet alone Sky+. I thought it was an island of delinquents and Columbian dope smugglers, I'll let you choose what category you fall into! Hope you and April are having a fab time 'Down Under' - Love & Peace!

Mute, for the fucking annoying adverts which are always louder than the tv. Or if you have sky+, and are organized to leave a 15 min buffer before starting to view, the fast forward button helps you skip all the ads in a 1 hour program.

I'm interested to know if you read my post on holiday then took this photo, read my post then went on holiday or just took the photo of the remote because it interested you?

Sort of related to this...I noticed that the remote control in my hotel room was cleverly designed to increase profits through easy access to pay per view. The top of the remote i.e. the regular location of the power button and other everyday utilities being replaced by large "Menu" and "Order" controls.

Apologies for poor quality of the following picture, but my the camera on my phone is poop!

That is their standard practice. When I called with reference to broadband I had the same problem. It is the stupidest system ever. When i called though they wouldn't even confirm the secret question!

Re: Knowledge and Twitter

Damian Nicholson — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:27:36 -0000

Very nice idea and seems similar to the Rooms they introduced in FriendFeed a while ago. Though I guess it would depend on the nature of the news you require and the things you were interested in, in the first place. Perhaps such things could be derived from the stats of your previous tweets e.g. the frequency of certain words occuring(iphone,wordpress...) correlating to your interest in that particular area(mobile phones,blogging...)?

You aren't kidding it's expensive. You'd think they would put loads of tracks on there given they aren't losing anything and the profits go to charity.

I can't understand the thinking.
