Just had my google account hacked. Password changed pretty promptly. Where on earth do I look to find the cause though?

Twitter BBQ, Sefton Park, Saturday anyone?

Just to reiterate, impromptu #twitterBBQ in Sefton Park, Friday 2pm, it’ll be like a flashmob with sausages and smart phones.

.@PaulineCoxy @clairelsutton I have a location in mind but it’s hard to describe – might tweet a google map dropped pin in a bit #twitterBBQ

#twitterBBQ preparations going well, have got fire and plate related paraphernalia so just BYO food & drink!

Come to the #twitterBBQ in Sefton Park from 2pm, across from the Palm House entrance (at this tweet’s location) http://t.co/QGDnWH3

Thanks to everyone who attended the #twitterBBQ today, was great to get out in the sun (and rain) for the afternoon!

Desperately tired this week whilst I work round the clock on coursework & project, interspersed with a real job. Roll on the weekend.

Just explained the pros and cons of LDAP vs NTLM vs Kerberos authentication to our 3rd line consultants. I really am in the wrong job here!

This is the best shipping forecast I have ever heard. So detailed!

Wouldn’t it be lovely if @kasperskyuk had asked before unregistering vbscript.dll and jscript.dll on all our servers during an upgrade…

Just spent an hour revisiting the headache that is WMI Group Policy Filtering. All sorted now, but still no way of filtering Non Laptops!

Well into Day 8 of my hearing loss now. Have pretty much lost my sanity too now.

What a spectacular pre-launch event! Food and drink is of the highest calibre! (@ Miller & Carter w/ @clairelsutton) http://4sq.com/g7AnbH

Back at mine for a couple of minutes rest before going to, erm, a princess party? Is that right @Clare_Powell @t1ingram?

Tonight, when not upgrading my iPad to 4.3.1, I’m learning the lyrics to the Yu-Gi-Oh season zero theme tune http://youtu.be/x-nWU6DzrZo

Here for the SORCE User Conference. Nice hotel, no comment on their product. (@ Millennium Madejski Hotel Reading) http://4sq.com/gBDRiv

Enjoyed @euan‘s keynote very much this morning, very similar views and experiences to my own plus strong ideas for ways forward

On stage: the most ridiculously nerdy lawyers harking on about web legality. It’s awful, + tl;dr. There should be more @JonBloor s around!

I just ousted @mjg73 as the mayor of Madejski Conference Centre on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/9YhIxz

Good talks from Duncan Millar about UX at intranet conference. Can’t understand how their designers got things so wrong for us initially!

Here are pics of @clairelsutton relaxing in luxury in case you don’t wanna go on 4square http://t.co/TMKTwgJ http://t.co/b2gK9xK

Ordering cocktails from a very fine bar. Suggestions? @t1ingram? Have already got an Old Fashioned on the way. http://4sq.com/g86ng0

Absolutely incredible. (@ Brasserie at Aviator Hotel w/ @clairelsutton) http://4sq.com/h8Bvu8

Oh this is absurd! In the 8 sec between calling the doctor and getting the out of hours message vs call waiting, 20 people rang ahead of me!

Screw this, I’m finding a new GP. Can anyone recommend one in South Liverpool?

In a pretty epic bad mood today, and not without justification! It’s at times like this when you wish you had the power of Force Lightning!

RT @clairelsutton: Incredibly smug survivor of an atomic blast meets Victorian mogul of heavy industry. Yes that’ll be @AlexNolan

Last night’s 7 mile run in prep for Sunday’s half marathon really hurts this morning! Does it have a hashtag, anyone?

Disaster struck yesterday, my foot had a delayed injury after my Tuesday night run and is in agony! I can’t put pressure on it! Damnit.

Gone to hozzy to buy a replacement foot. (@ Royal Liverpool University Hospital) http://4sq.com/i4ClUt

Kicked out of the Royal for wasting valuable NHS time….nah only kidding, but I’ll not be doing the half marathon this weekend!!!

Made it to #twestliv after a harrowing experience at the hospital! (@ Pan America Bar w/ @oddessay) http://4sq.com/hEiWGt

Honeycomb Latte and scone with clotted cream, yes please! (@ esquires) http://4sq.com/gEnzVM

Good luck to all you Liverpool half marathon participants this morning! I’m absolutely gutted to be out with a foot injury!

.@frabcus is running strong in the half marathon as they leave Sefton Park!

An Export option (rather than faffing with Save As…) in Excel would save me hours of time today 🙁

IE9 is superbugged for me > uninstalling

Too much to do, too little time 🙁

Work colleagues disgusted at me for being too busy to go for a pint of Guinness.To be honest though I’ve never been a fan of St Patricks Day

#r1moremoyles on the red button is pretty compelling viewing actually

lol #r1moremoyles has crashed the radio 1 website cos everyone wants to see Fern Cotton in a bikini

Been listening to the nasal northern witticisms of Jake Thackray this afternoon for many hearty chuckles http://bit.ly/hICQSz

Quite a quiet night at Rossini’s, Söll. Am dressed as Batman doing publicity shots, it’s some sort of German fancy dress festival this week.

Heading up the gondola for an afternoon in Westenhopf (@ Brixen im Thale) http://4sq.com/gcZjsI

I need on-the-fly widget switching functionality in my WordPress theme. Like a news ticker but for entire widgets. Anyone seen that before?

2.5 sleeps till snowboarding in Austria!!!!!!!!

Ha! Was wondering how long it’d be before someone made a jailbreak app to remove twitter trends from Twitter iPhone app: they already have!

Had no more than 15 minutes sleep but now very excited as I leave the country for Söll & snowboarding! http://4sq.com/hMYGsU

More excited than I really should be about redeeming a caffè nero free coffee, especially as it fails to solve my change problem!

WordPress is ace. Just wrote functions to optionally hide headers/sidebars & rewrite URLs. Site content can now be embedded seemlessly 😀

I’ll be doing a #Tweet10K route down the canal, over the motorway and back along the A6 for my foreign run in Garstang

I must confess I started the #tweetrun10k slightly early so have now finished. Did 12km in muddy conditions!

Nightmares last night: dreamt I lost my job, but even worse my iPhone case ripped like Michael Keaton’s mask at the end of Batman Returns!

At a user conference. Hosts trying their best to make me feel unwelcome! Non university housing providers aren’t all evil though!!!

Stuck in a talk by inspirational speaker talking about taking bold action. Why is no one leaving then? Conference reminds me of The Witches!

Never has a Brew been needed so much as now! (@ Brew Tea Shop) http://4sq.com/eY9UAj

Today has taken a farcical turn as time and again I unsuccessfully attempt to escape undetected from this damn hostile conference!

I found the way out!!! That was not unlike a dungeon level on Zelda: the Phantom Hourglass!!!

What is a storm giant anyway? An excuse to reuse/recolour the same character model? It’s not right to discriminate between giants so much.

Brought a cracking headache along with me to see the Go! Team, hope it’s cured by excellent music. (@ O2 Academy) http://4sq.com/dKxDkg

Can anyone share their experience in anonymous harassment / cyber-terrorism of shit intranet software suppliers? I feel a rampage coming on.
