I am having a very very bad day. Just need to keep thinking about the weekend. [hpoom]

@philipbeel I see they have your Contactable plugin listed on there. Nice stuff. I should really work on TweetPeep and TweetMap. [hpoom]

RT @LloydsTSBOnline: The transactions order on statements was chosen on customer preference. We know that some don't like it and we're w ... [hpoom]

I now have a Greasemonkey script to fix @LloydsTSBOnline broken bank statements on their online banking. Shout if you want a copy. [hpoom]

@LloydsTSBOnline Why do you online statement now show things in the wrong order and provide no sorting tools? It is just plainly WRONG! [hpoom]

@LloydsTSBOnline have changed their online statements to show newest activity at the top and older stuff at bottom. NO, please change back. [hpoom]

Left a task for somebody else to action, they thought they left it for me. No wonder it has not been done. :-( [hpoom]

@shackpank I think it should be illegal for them to prevent me from changing media from one format to another for personal use. [hpoom]

@shackpank My view is I paid for the license. Once I have bought music or film I view it that I can own that in any format I like. [hpoom]

In the same way that download a film you already own on DVD should not be illegal. How is the single DS cart any different to an iPod? [hpoom]

Using a DS cartridge to store backed up copies and only carry one cartridge around instead of 20 should not be illegal. [hpoom]

Looks like I am a "pirate" again for playing backed up copies of my games off a single cartridge. http://bit.ly/aFjGoe [hpoom]

@pauly We used Move It. I would recommend them, only used removal firm once, but they where very good. http://www.move-it.co.uk/ [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins @philipbeel Some of us are trapped on hotmail as have used it for years to signup to websites where email is user name :-( [hpoom]

Lounge is getting there. Faye tells me TV Unit arrived today and getting measured for carpets today also. :-D [hpoom]

This is quite cool. http://bit.ly/ciHHCL - I wonder how long before google maps copies this. M$ seam to be fighting back on the web. [hpoom]

I dislike articles that imply that though the exchange is the only way to broadband. There is another way. Cable! - http://bit.ly/ak27fv [hpoom]

@pauly That was my idea. I said that years ago that we should sell stuff on ebay and link to more product on our sites. [hpoom]

@shackpank I agree, and sometime it is quicker to download Music or Films you own instead of rip and mess with cover art or subs. [hpoom]

@shackpank Possibly. I also think it is related to max connections when I ramp things up. I need to play with MySQL settings on localhost. [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins ION's are good for XBMC. Maybe consider a Mini-ITX ION? [hpoom]

@shackpank Like I said I need to do more on it. Also localhost testing is not great, I need to play on dev kit. [hpoom]

@shackpank I need to do a lot lot more work on it. Probably will end up sticking it all in memcached anyway, did that before and was FAST. [hpoom]

@shackpank I think it is the quick in an out that stops other queries stacking up. Allow everybody to get data and not wait Still playing... [hpoom]

@shackpank I think the join worked better with low read once reads ramped up 2 selects was quicker then join. [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins Go the NAS route. If you load HTPC with drives will cause issues later when you have multiroom video and audio. [hpoom]

@shackpank Was faster to get a site in SQL then from PHP make a second query to get the domain by ID. Was shocked at first. [hpoom]

@shackpank I think it is fine as SQL. My work was around 'domains' and 'sites' which are very high read. Removed join on localhost. [hpoom]

@shackpank I guess being monsters stats code it is not called lots. Code looks OK to me. My recent experiments have been on high read tables [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins What are you planning on running in the HTPC? OS wise and software? XBMC? [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins My recent R+D's biggest gains have come from moving all the work to be done at write, and little work done at read. Big wins! [hpoom]

@shackpank Was looking at a table that is read 100's of times a second though. Also web servers in my R+D are easier to scale than MySQL. [hpoom]

@shackpank Simplified all the SQL to just selects and did all the work in PHP and massive performance improvements. [hpoom]

@shackpank As I just posted Joins do have their place. Just been optimising some code recently with interesting results. [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins Wasn't writting off Joins all together. Just done some R+D recently and found 2 Selects from PHP was better sometimes. [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins AV Forums is addictive. I have lost hours on there over last 6 years. Good source of info though. [hpoom]

@shackpank OK. I'm probably wrong then. I thought (but as I said might be wrong) Smarty did all the inc to get one script then parsed it. [hpoom]

@dan_jenkins They make sense to me as just reading @shackpank comments from earlier. Interested to know what the SQL was. [hpoom]
