My inbox now contains 3 messages. Yes, 3! Take that, entropy.

British Library fire alarm is bad. Froyo wireless tethering on Wildfire is good!

Froyo on WIldfire is great!

Xmarks to discontinue service in Jan 2011. Come on Firefox 4, I need your sync! http://bit.ly/9z6Iqy

The man opposite me in the BL keeps snorting in an extremely unappealing fashion.

British Library upgrading their Wifi Fri 1st to Sunday 4th October. Just as well, because it's down this morning!

I don't bother reading past the comments break on any article on Arts and Humanities now, even on the Guardian. Such ignorance.

Hurrah for Zotero running on Maverick. Bit of a pain, though, as Sun Java is no longer in standard repos.

On the Ed!

IT Services fail: "The password is too long"

Rowan Williams has no problem with gay bishops. As long as they are not actually gay. #homophobia #stonewall

Backups all restored. Financially less well off, but back where I started in < 24 hrs.

Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) boot times are superb!

You can tell that Dell are incompetent: "Dell recommends Internet Explorer 8"

I go home from British Library with a migraine. On way home my laptop is stolen.

Should have separated those tags better. Not "abolish amnesty", but two words I find incredibly important. #abolishthedeathpenalty

Article on death penalty with rare phrase: "citing this academic work". http://bbc.in/cUfWnT #abolish #amnesty

Maligned. It arrives with 1 minute to spare.

Uh oh. Enfield Town station and train not in evidence.

My night work is editing Pynchon papers.

Zotero doing good things - especially after convo with people frustrated by IT services' FireFox hate.

Why is our campus overrun with obnoxious school children?

En route to Brighton for meeting with lovely library gang and then the vice chancellor.

Nice XSS worm doing the rounds on Twitter.

Graduate takes university to court after they awarded him a 2:2 degree. http://bbc.in/bgbiUo #shouldhavestudiedharder

Muchos multi-linguism parlos on #Pynchon. Assuming a new round of translations has dropped.

Security bulletin for Android rooted users boils down to: if an application has root, Sherlock, it can read all your file.

AcaWiki; the Wiki for summaries of Academic articles. http://acawiki.org/

Tethering problems on the Wildfire are definitely not due to rooting (rooted stock works); perhaps the OTA update?

Cyanogen on upcoming CM6.1 with HTC Wildfire support. Must flag up that this is due to @HCDR_Jacob ! http://bit.ly/a5sYyc

Well well, the Lib Dems are finally doing something that reflects their pre-pact ethos. http://bbc.in/9FQ5rF

Also: "proof of actual innocence" is, to my mind, an insurmountable burden of proof: prove you didn't do it. http://bit.ly/96zd7R

Incredible that SCOTUS can debate whether executing an innocent is unconstitutional. Save Troy. http://bit.ly/9UjrK2

OK, it's Friday afternoon, I can't take any more Kant.

I sat opposite Andy Akinwolere (Blue Peter presenter) on train last week while they discussed hosting the Pope's visit.

Stack beasts defeated! Books in hand!

Racing to the British Library to save my books from the stack return monsters.

OJS workshop delivered with a certain degree of success! Prezi coming later - when home.

Off for OJS Workshop at Sussex!

The other Pynchon artifacts, the letters in the New York public library, remain sealed until after the author's death.

On train back from Manchester, putting "final touches" to OJS Workshop tomorrow. Here goes nothing.

Arriving in Manchester for 2 days of arthritis research UK grant fun!

Is somewhat nervous about this workshop on Wednesday, given that my web host, on which it relies, keeps dying.

Yes! Finally got Unison compiled onto my new host inside jailshell. (Had to get ocaml installed inside custom prefix)

Think prelink offsets sorted. Need Jacob to return and build as no working env here.

Having trouble working out the address of libcamera.so in the prelink map for WIldfire CM6 port

Sigh, dalvik keels over at present.

About to test the first build from source of Cyanogen Mod 6 for HTC Wildfire; thanks to HCDRJacob!

Workshop prepared; conference website ready to go live; now time for final edits on Pynchon publication!

Apparently better to raise fees than cut student numbers, as if the two were in no way linked. http://bbc.in/dk6C5h

Anyone at Sussex who knows what support for OpenOffice.org Impress presentations is like on campus machines? (no Powerpoint for me)

android-notifier is totally brilliant! http://bit.ly/cjA34V

Shopping with Amazon on Android is brilliantly pain free.

Looks like the Postmodernism Generator is doing the rounds on Pynchon today.

Apologies for delayed Episode 6 synopsis; ran out of time last night, should be up later today or tomorrow.

Right, about to brave alternate non-Tube routes. Today's agenda is sitting on panel for Arthritis Research UK grant interviews.

... as is his subsequent factoid correction regarding Philo, tennis in tornadoes and "creative non-fiction".

My views on the monotonal discourse now surrounding David Foster Wallace are known, but Charles Harris' piece in Critique is rather good.

Synopsis and character referencing complete for Episode 6 of Gravity's Rainbow, Beyond the Zero; will go-live this evening. #Pynchon

Research Councils' definition of "Early Career Researcher": 'within 10 years of starting a PhD' (via @victoriawilby) #Vitae10

Answering my own question. Beckett's "What matter who's speaking" is from Texts for Nothing III. Second sentence.

Synopsis of Gravity's Rainbow, Beyond the Zero, Episode 4 now online at http://bit.ly/bJPmic ; more work on pynchon.net soon! #pynchon

Can anyone give a page reference for Beckett's "What matter who's speaking?", please? I think it's in Molloy but can't find it!

Tweetdeck for Android is very nice indeed.
