Jovian Salak the weather here is predictably unpredictable :) It was gorgeous when I took that two days ago, since then it has been freezing, murky and (in the last few hours) snowing a lot. All good fun!
Jovian Salak does Tom still record conversations? Do you know if he kept the ones he did record/does anything with them?
#reading The Art Of Noise, Luigi Russolo 1913
john_nye not sure I’ll be able to get one shipped to Iceland anyway (for a sensible price at least, plus import duty). I wonder if they’d donate one to your testing lab?
Geeksphone apparently shipping Keon and Peak Firefox OS devices from next week! #excited
Prices are €91 and €149 plus taxes, respectively.
Update: link to announcement
Their site is down for maintenance… that’s a good thing right?
Jovian Salak I’ll see if I can get it up this evening. Got lots of emails, code and postcards to sort as well though!
Jovian Salak just go for the cheapest one. Looking forward to seeing your photos! I did a nice panorama from the office roof a couple of days ago, and have made a fancy way of showing it on the web

Walked along a nice bit of beach-ish area near my flat. Realised that whilst I’m fairly experienced at creating UIs where the creation of sound is the end result (musical instruments), I’ve never really given much thought to the use of sound in other UIs.
The house lights across the bay twinkle a lot — perhaps because of the heat. It’s cold outside here, but inside all the buildings is really toasty, thanks to ubiquitous geothermal power.
briansuda hope the trip went well :) If you’re bored, you could always play some bingo ;) little-printer-test.herokuapp.com/sample/ Let me know if you figure out what the icons are, I’m not quite sure yet (stick man? flower? who knows?)

Water is the driver of nature.
Proportion is not only to be found in figures and measurements, but also in sound, weight, time and position, and in whatever power which exists.
Small rooms or dwellings help the mind to concentrate itself; large rooms are a source of distraction.
#davinci Thoughts on Art and Life
Note that I skipped a whole tonne of Da Vinci’s longer notes, which can be summarised as: “painting is great, poetry is rubbish, music and sculpture are somewhere in between”.
The water you touch in a river is that last of that which has gone, and the first of that which is coming: so it is with time present.
A natural action is accomplished in the briefest manner.
Man discourtheth greatly, and his discourse is for the greater part empty and false; the discourse of animals is small, but useful and true: slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.
Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.
