@opendatani has actually put the Translink Metro data on the website. Mostly “ATCO CIF format”, with the stop data in CSV. It’s a start.

Great to wake up in the morning to check online and see that the Browns beat the Steelers last night. A very pleasant surprise :)

Free UK postcode data from April next year. Finally. That’s great news.

@guardian_sport Any chance of making the newspaper review by @acjimbo into a podcast? Save me the bother of rolling my own feed :)

Currently trying to pay little attention to the voice in my head which is telling me to write my own CMS. I really don’t need that pain.

This weekend I intend to investigate play with a variety of different CMSs. At the end of this one while hopefully emerge as my choice.

Once again I try to persuade Word to act like a reasonable piece of software. It doesn’t. Let’s hope I get this done relatively quickly.

I’m rather underwhelmed by the lack of quality communication from @EllisLab regarding #EE today and generally.

@EllisLab Any idea of the rough time of the release tomorrow? Some time in the morning your time, so some time in the afternoon in the UK?

I think my anger about last night is beginning to settle on McShane. I was moaning about his marking at set-pieces earlier in the game :(

I hope I didn’t scare the people in the flats above and below us with my yell when Keane scored for Ireland.

Coding to the blues is remarkably nice to do. Only just found this out. The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir and Seasick Steve, cheers.

I wish I was better at recognising that I’m dreaming. If I was I would have taken that opportunity to punch Glenn Beck in the face. Darn.

Just saw a google street view car driving around Hillsborough.

I’m already looking forward to ExpressionEngine 2.0, however the automatic creation of templates from files makes me even more excited #EE

Found more email that I’d missed. Thought I’d dealt with it all before but sadly not. Apologies to those who haven’t received a reply.

I hear many people in London complaining about the transport, however, when you’re used to the Northern Ireland system, this is wonderful :)

@TheOBR Thanks for the latest podcast. Informative as usual, and a good accompaniment to a lunchtime walk.

I take it that ExpressionEngine Core will no longer exist as of 2.0? 99 dollars is now the minimum price? #eeci2009

Disappointing to see nonsense being spouted regarding Hope Powell managing in “mens” football. Good manager, deserves a fair chance.

Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit, but it’s better than the alternative of going around and beating someone to a pulp. Probably.

I notice that, despite protestations to the contrary, I am making my first cup of tea today. @swmcc is a flatterer, but short on results

A number of people in #carterruck will be having a very bad day regarding the situation they’ve got themselves into with #trafigura :)

Can’t say I’m impressed that the Guardian is being prevented from reporting on parliament, http://bit.ly/3UwQQn

I haven’t been this nervous during an international football match for a long time.

Andre Previn and his dominance of the 70s heavyweight division in boxing. A much under-discussed topic. eh @swmcc ;)

@ALLFLAWS Any chance you could process my removal request for your “list” which I sent on the 29th? I never asked to join in the first place

Just saw that Channel 4 (UK) are showing Generation Kill from this Wednesday. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t watched it.

@davethacker Is the registration on esmsworld okay? I’ve not received my confirmation email :(

Is this not likely because the opposition have been time-wasting when ahead? I say this as someone who hates United too http://bit.ly/nvJxh

I hate music sites playing music at me the moment I arrive at the site. @anticon, I’m looking in your direction.

@Davidbelfast It’s not claiming it as the PAF file. It’s a compressed file of the latitude and longitude of all UK postcodes with other info

Long overdue, but wonderfully welcome http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page20571 #turing

I really hope that we get asked for feedback about our experience getting a repair done at the Belfast Apple Store. I will lay into them :(

It would be lovely if the Belfast Apple Store would bother to answer the phone. Bringing back bad memories of MacSys is not what I expect :(

Could the prick who abused @mnehughes when she was entering our car park present himself for the kicking he richly deserves? Grrrr.

Sadly there’s not much to see at the Ireland vs England game at Stormont. England scored 204 for 9 http://twitpic.com/fg58a

@Johal20 Sky have confirmed they have the rights now. Was confirmed yesterday

@BrownsWire Meant to say, thanks for the first podcast of the return last week. It was nice to have some quality Browns discussion again.

It could be the perfect time for Ireland to play England in cricket on Thursday. Some of the England players might be the worse for wear :)

I didn’t think England would win the Ashes at the start of the summer. I’m delighted :)

I think we can safely say that England shaded that session. #ashes

Today I will be listening to the wonderful Kind of Blue (http://bit.ly/oPxRn) on the 50th anniversary of release. Bliss.

72nd out of 9000 in an Omaha-Hi Freeroll on PokerStars. I don’t play Omaha, so it was interesting. Also tiring. Entry to another tournie won

Football Weekly, how I have missed you. Sad though that is.

I could really do without all of this worry before the 4th Test starts. It may be safer for England to face a fast ball than play football

I’m a tad miffed that I forgot my headphones on the last day of the 3rd test. Thankfully the lovely @mnehughes is going to bring them to me!

Apache, why do you toy with me? Refuse symlinks on one server, work on my local machine. I will find the setting to defeat you!

@TMSscorer Nice relaxing start to the day for you ;)

Sadly NetNewsWire Mac (@nnw_Mac) is only going to allow syncing with Google Reader. That, and putting ads into an app I paid for, bothers me

All of the wizardry of @typekit sadly won’t cure my unerring cluelessness regarding typefaces, their combination and use. This saddens me.

Well, at least the rain at the cricket means it’s likely that my cousin Chris will see play on Sunday :) Assuming it doesn’t rain then too.

I’m currently in the middle of a NetNewsWire feed cull. 36 feeds gone so far with more to go. Theraputic :)

I am very angry. Do not disturb.

Having to puts lots of work into something in order to force someone else to do something they should do is not making me a happy camper.

Finally, the build-up and hype is done with and we can get on with the Ashes.

Amazon delivery tracking doesn’t really help if it tells me something has left their warehouse and 24 hours later it’s still in transit. Grr

By the end of today, either Magento or I will have caved to the pressure. ATM it looks like it will be me. Documentation would help, grrrr

I should really put my entire iTunes collection on shuffle more often. Hearing some great stuff I’d completely let slip from my mind.

Parsing poker hand information is an interesting way to spend Sunday afternoon. The cricket is helping though.

@absanon Sadly not yet. I’m still waiting for it to arrive in the post. I read the first few pages in a shop last week and enjoyed it though

Having lunch with my Dad always cheers me up :)

Having terrible trouble persuading GMail to send a message. Grrrr….

Had to board my flight with 24 balls left in the Irish run chase. Waited anxiously for an hour. Kevin O’Brien finished the job well :)

Following the Ireland - Bangladesh T20 game via iPhone is both interesting and frustrating. Going well so far though :)

Amazon (UK) finally have the paperback of Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson available. Let joy be unconfined, for me at least.

Thanks to all of the lovely people who bought me vouchers for my birthday I now own every series of The Wire. Happy, happy, joy, joy

I’m a curious chap so I made the mistake of looking at the markup of the new DUP site. My eyes, my eyes…

Jamie Redknapp, your intelligence is vastly underused.

Come on Browns, make a pick already! I like acquiring picks but I could really do with a pick happening before I go to sleep.

Apologies to all those I was slow noticing waving to me this morning. I was in a world of my own and only realized after the fact :(

/me wonders if there is an ice-cream van in Botanic Gardens today

@LeeLowe Then again, I know of people who like the other L&O shows but who don’t watch SVU because they can’t stand those two. I’m one

Giving Fluid (http://fluidapp.com/) a go for the first time. Maybe that will be a way around my worry about closing the tab accidentally

When listening to an electronic music stream it’s very disturbing to hear an ad mentioning nasal fungal infection during the break :(

@Junap are you accepting cookies only from the site you visit? that would explain it. happens to me too.

I despair of the Hughes’ and their musical tastes ;)

Quintette of the Hot Club of France. Just what I need right now.

@cinebot botsnack

@cinebot 18:00 @ Dublin Road

@cinebot QFT

Twitter: stop telling me that the name I add when signing up is “ok” and then failing because the name is too long when I submit.

Grrr, I forgot to listen to the first episode of the new series of Old Harry’s Game, and it’s not on iPlayer yet. Bugger.

An automated twitter acct I run has more followers than I do in no time. I’m choosing to think that my followers are more discerning :)

So much for watching some of the Test Match this weekend. It’s all a shambles.

I am often surprised by the number of people involved in web design/development who don’t understand what the W3C validators tell them

I don’t think I will ever see anything to do with James Bond again without thinking of “Something of Boris” :)

You know the way I saw “Tony Ball” yesterday, I obviously meant Tony Hart. Tweeting in the middle of writing tests is obviously a bad thing

Tony Ball has been receiving lots of deserved designer love of late. For me though Johnny Ball was the man. Programmer thing maybe?

CBC Radio 3 remix podcast this week is great to work too :)

It’s nice to see http://jambor-ee.com/ back :)

Migrating my remaining projects from subversion to git, before watching another Dexter ep. Not a bad way to spend an evening for a nerd :)

I am so on the brink with Manchester City, and if we sell Richard Dunne or Michael Johnson that will tip me over the edge. I’m so close :(

It’s Monday morning and I’m tired. Therefore my tolerance for people using “your” when they mean “you’re” is extremely low.

@LeeLowe Happy birthday :) I hope you’re not at work!

Patrick McGoohan dead :( Star of two of my favourite TV series and numerous excellent Columbo episodes.

Hello @chuckneely and @jamneely Nice to run into you earlier.

One side of my headphones is dying :( It’s currently in the “occasional sound” part of the process which makes setting the volume a bugger

The more I use jquery, the more I love it.

Camino 2 preview. Finally draggable tabs. Yummy
