I am in the process of listening to or acquiring more of the following artists: [Edit]
( moo )
If you have any suggestions for music to add, I will most likely ignore your suggestions and/or dismiss your taste outright.
Ocasionally I will get off my high horse and have a gander to what other people have said, but I'm really fucking picky.
With the above in mind, feel free to post any suggestions :)
Although a better idea of what I'm listening to is to look at iamtef on last.fm.

Hehe!
"One thing I found puzzling was that the Brits consistently apologized for and/or denigrated Birmingham. I didn't find it unpleasant at all; parts were quite attractive and charming. Maybe if you live in Europe it raises your expectations for a place."

It's been a while since I talked to matt, but I bumped into him post work, and although we were tempted by the beer festival it was already late into the night.
Instead we had a nice evening drinking nice tea.
Also, the new mark thomas program on radio 4 is excellent.

After almost an hour I found out what I wanted to know yesterday:
"Your card was used somewhere where fraud has taken place recently, and your number was passed to us by our police liaison".
In other news: Wii Fit is surprisingly fun and disturbingly close to exercise.

Fun things about dealing with the fraud department at my bank:
* The customer is always wrong - no evidence, just guess work. 'Well you must have put it in a skimmer' or 'had it skimmed at a restaurant or something'.
* Cancelled instantly with no-offer of access outside of normal hours (why thank you I'm really glad I have no money today).
Then again I remember that fraud prevention is about protecting the bank's money, not mine and it all makes sense.
Except for the bit about skimmers: I use cash for nearly all payments, and rarely use my card except online.
I'm not happy they have phoned up to cancel my card without proof beyond accusations of my incompetence.

| Federate me harder |

Google Wave is coming and it is awesome. If you are a techie you should really watch the video.
Wave is their new instant messaging system, built as an extention to Jabber. Although it looks much more like gmail.
Think google docs + google mail + google chat and you're almost close, then add in a superb interface and well thought out features and integration, and you're closer.
Unlike google everything else, this is federated. You will be able to run your own wave server, and talk to people on different networks.
Think 'the thing tef will be bugging me to join when it's released' and you're much closer.
Nevermind dreamwidth, or even obscure things like gale - google wave is looking to me like the glue to bind messages, information and events together in a coherent package.
