• I wonder how many complaints the BBC got for Ainsley Harriott’s use of the F-word on Who Do You Think You Are… #
• Writing some convoluted but useful MySQL. #
• Inspired by David Suchet and Ainsley Harriott, I’m rummaging through an online archive index http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ #
• Things I have discovered hurt: a chunky mobile phone falling on your head. #
• @jamesgraham N95 8GB. It’s a potential death trap. #
• @alexfoster Not without installing an application. #
• @jamesgraham Not the S60 version. #
• Mate texting that he’s an hour late for his own birthday drinks = I can haz Macdonalds. #
• Piccadilly Circus a pedestrian nightmare as ever. Glad I rarely come round here. #
• Guy in this club has my Dorkington Hackers t-shirt, albeit in a different colour. #
• @wilw In club in London, just been talking about you + Belle & Seb. Straight away Boy with the Arab Strap has come on. #

One of the problems of the length and hecticness of a autumn party conference is missing your favourite programmes on TV. Any television we do catch tends to be news coverage of the conference itself – and when I get back home (just as when I get back from a long day at work) I rarely want to watch politics.

Fortunately, as I don’t have a DVD recorder or a working VHS, the time-shifting iPlayer (they are pretty much all BBC) comes to the rescue. So despite the sun and Open House London outside, I’m working my way through my downloads.

I’ve got two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are?: Ainsley Harriott (which I’m halfway through) and David Suchet. There’s an episode of BBC Three’s sketch show The Wrong Door (with one more probably still to download), and the first episode of the new quiz show Only Connect.

There are two politics-related programmes: President Hollywood, which is excused because of its West Wing content, and Straight Talk with Simon Hughes which I downloaded because I didn’t know it had been on and which I may or may not ever get round to watching.

Back to Ainsley Harriott then…

• Roy Hattersley looks a bit lost. #
• @alexfoster I wouldn’t have thought so – copyright lasts a *long* time. #
• @stephmog No, I think it’s a fairly accurate representation of a significant proportion of delegates, ourselves included 🙂 #
• Need to set up a version control system. Weighing up pros/ cons of git vs svn, and setting up (local or remote) hosting myself or buying it. #
• @nimbos He was muttering something about “the Others” but he may have meant the rest of the Labuor party. They’re all lost. #
• Percy Pigs have pork gelatine in – they really are made of pigs. #
• Being driven slowly mad by git and svn. No longer care about the differences, just want one to do what I want! #
• Finally got github/SSH to work. Next step: using it. #
• @HelenDuffett In a way 🙂 #
• SVN working. WIN! #
• Retweeitng @doctorvee: ‘English (Pirate)’ in the language options in Facebook is brilliant #
• Now that I have SVN working I can actually do the coding I wanted. #
• A bottle of champagne to take home. Fantastique. #
• Think I’m going to get myself a big portion of chips and settle down with Who Do You Think You Are on iPlayer. #
• Yay, Dead Set trailer is up: http://www.e4.com/video/5f4FwIqXWoPOpNjUEGMYJ/play.e4 Trying to make myself out in the zombie crowd ~22secs in. #

• Gordon Brown poisons a brand so well I can’t help thinking about him whenever the Arctic Monkeys come on my iPod. #
• Mmm, doughtnuts. #
• @jamesgraham They’re just normal doughnuts with extra vitamin T. #
• Good news: our new party website seems to be resulting in lots more people getting in touch. Bad news: lots more emails to plough through. #
• Wide meat choice at lunch today: African lamb curry or Indian spiced lamb. Presumably African and Indian lambs have different sized ears. #
• @edtrelinski Indeed – that would be the majority of my household income gone! #
• Breaking news: the EBU has sold the Eurovision Song Contest concept, so 2009 will see the first Asiavision Song Contest. #
• @nimbos Yeah, US did it between the states. #
• @stephmog FedCon makes it sound so geeky 🙂 #
• Playing Carcassonne. Currently fifth of six but all to play for. #
• Moved from joint last to second place at the last minute. Excellent. #
• @flashboy Mark Watson is now talking to me too. Coincidence as I rarely have the radio on. Not sure he likes those DVDs. #
