Is there any way of deleting iTunes from the iPad? ‘Cos it just suggested Cat Empire.
RT @dahowlett: Stop moaning, grab a few bevvies in the Castro and experience real SF life. [You have a point. I’m too tired tho.]
Next observation: Mail is iOS loads me settings from Mail for OS X, but not my filters and other rules. That’s a bit shoddy.
@jeamland Oh for sure, I can’t do a bunch of work without SSH.
RT @mjec: gnupg is also free [And you’ve just reminded me to sort that crypto shit out, thank you.]
@jeamland Thanks. I (still) use NetNewsWire for OS X. Dropbox I use already, yes. iView is indeed a thing I use (but not from the US).
Right. 1Password for iOS is $18.99, while the 1Password Reader for Android is free. I get the picture.
I’ll start by going thru my Android device and downloading the equivalents.
@jeamland DIAF.
So, NetSuite gave all the media at SuiteWorld an iPad Mini. (Yeah, I know.) So, since I’ve been doing Android, what are the must-haves?
Colvinius @stilgherrian @domknight I see the milk of human kindness is running as warmly as ever in your veins.
@domknight @Colvinius So people are whinging that their sky-chairs with food and drink service lead to a bit of inconvenience? Diddums.
@deejayqf That’s my understanding (and postr-exhaustion memory) from having read all the news stories.
@deejayqf No, Exetel was a downstream “victim” of the block by AAPT, with customer complaints, at least if I recall correctly.

@scottcarson1957 Oh cool. Apart from school stuff, I can’t remember my first. Probably some ranty letter to the editor somewhere.

Given that the job of an editor is to edit, I’ve sent my rambling unfocused things to said editor. And opened the wine.
Maybe they could say stuff like “Getting this new client has got us bleeding from every orifice, and that’s before we start servicing them.”
RT @jdub: Then you’ll be all, “Why did the executive have to say ‘moist’?” [At first, yes. And then I’ll phone them as soon as I can.]
RT @zerogeewhiz: We once got a letter from Rockdale Council telling us about exciting changes to our garbage collection. [WTF? Arsehats.]
One day I’ll read a vendor press release about a new customer or partner, and the quote from the executive will not use “excited”. One day.
@lewellyn Yeah it’s less than 24 hours until I head to the airport now. But this shouldn’t be my only visit this year.
@juhasaarinen Let’s just nuke the lot of them and give another species a go.
Shaun Micallef voices the Aust Bureau of Stats app, @sylmobile? I should never have introduced him to Supernaut. [Grumbles.]
People are just stupid, @juhasaarinen. I recommend against them.
If people are so goddam worried by “spoilers”, why does anyone still stage Shakespeare, read Dickens, or go to see a movie remake? Arsehats.
So in theory, the fact that last night’s curry has started to return should mean that the article I’n trying to finish will win a Walkley.
pattonoswalt Never forget: FRANKENSTEIN was written by a teenage girl on absinthe & DRACULA by an Irish dude who had a nightmare after eating bad crab.
I’m back at the hotel, and it’s just gone 1915 PDT. I’m going to finish this goddam article, despite my lack of focus, and then collapse.
@lewellyn I won’t be doing anything tonight. Once I’ve filed, I’ll be totally out of energy. I’ll rest and try for an early start tomorrow.
NicholasFryer Just stumbled into a dog show. 2 comps just announced: who looks most like their dog and which can lick owner longest. Not making this up.
@sprawldcity Given their first app was only January, a Census data app, I’m guessing @ABSStats is testing the waters before spending more.
@sprawldcity @ABSStats That question can be answered by looking at the page. Apple’s App Store is the only link. runthattown.abs.gov.au

I think I might retweet that Bitcoin thing, now that people are awake.
@prestontowers When I checked the numbers years ago, Opera Australia was already subsidised over $100 per seat per performance.
@piecritic The fact that we joined an illegal land war in Central Asia, killing hundreds of thousands, makes me mad. But hey, priorities. ;)
Whinging about $100k on Skywhale? Refresh your memory of the money given to Mozart cover bands and Verdi karaoke clubs (Opera Aust).

“Take control of any neighbourhood in Australia”? I do hope no-one at the ABS has read “Ender’s Game”.
“Run That Town”, an iPhone game from, em, Australian Bureau of Statistics? Real-world data? If so, Win! runthattown.abs.gov.au HT @dannolan
I have a halibut.
@lewellyn I’m currently seeing if seafood and a beer will help me regain the flow I had earlier. It seems to be working.
@lewellyn No plans yet, but TBH I think that when I eventually finish this goddam article I’m writing I’ll just throw myself into the ocean.
Yay. Flow has been regained.
Until I finish this article, this is my world instagram.com/p/Zd9955iFpC/
Sat plan, 1400 PDT update: Finish this goddam article, which is taking forever to write; a late afternoon and evening of food and drink.

daveshackleford Everyone needs this today. Every day, in fact. twitpic.com/crh7v9
OK, enough about “Satoshi Nakamoto”, Shinichi Mochizuki and Bitcoin for now. I’ve GOT to get this article written.
@jeffsonstein And thank you.
@jeffsonstein Work, yes. I’ll take about 2.5 hours to write, and them I’m loose in San Francisco until late Sunday night. It’ll be terrible.
@jeffsonstein There is that. ;) Alas, I must stop thinking about that for now, and finish the article I’m commissioned to write.
@jeffsonstein People have told me that. “Computer Lib / Dream Machines” was a huge influence on me. And now if he’s right about this? Wow.
@jeffsonstein Heh. I was wondering when you’d get to the Ted Nelson tweet. ;)
@pblakez @feesable And the hiding is illegal, and if too much goes hidden then The Authorities deploy resources to track it down. [Shrugs.]
@pblakez @feesable But isn’t tax about where you do business, not which currency transactions are done in? #ineedataxlawyer #didisaythat
@feesable @pblakez Dollars or Bitcoin, if you don’t account for your cash transactions, The Authorities will still make your life misery.
@feesable @pblakez Anonymity-thru-crypto appeals to the fight-the-Man teen mentality, but real commerce just wants efficiency.
Oh OK, so we already have bitpay.com from some PayPal founders. That’ll work. bitpay.com HT @pblakez
@feesable @pblakez Key factor is a critical mass of users, IMO, business people not geeks. Ease of use leads to that, and a trusted brand?

@dahowlett Well, the Apple Store is only a block or two away, thank you. But I was wondering if there’s some more crafty stuff around?
RT @Me: So where in San Francisco should I go to get a really cool iPad Mini cover case folder hipster thing? Will fellate for cool factor.
Sat plan, 0945 PDT: Hearty breakfast; write words for money, ending the week’s work; a very long lunch somewhere pleasant; evening TBA.
