London is cold and snowy today.
There is literally a blanket of white snow outside our window. Snow is weird.
Note to self: Umbrellas don’t help.
What’s the point of online shopping if you can’t tweet about the fuzzy feeling afterwards? Twitter failwhale is back. Oh I have a blog, how old fashioned.
Someone should hurry up and fix their scaling problems instead of hanging out on tropical beaches. Yes, you know who you are, Mr inappropriate on irc extraordinaire.
While I’m here.. Last night was a dangerously fun flat warming. Dangerously dangerous! God that was a lot of empty champagne bottles.
I went to a place in Dalston at 4am afterwards, a gal I danced with told her friend “he’s the best dancer I’ve ever seen”. Awww thanks, she should go to Sadler’s wells at least once though. Or Soho 
We launched on xbox today, that was fun. Lots of coke and graphs. I didn’t have much to do really.
I also launched my pointless kafkaisms tweeter today. Read the metamorphosis one paragraph per day.
Sitting in my lounge room with a fancy scarf. Cath is coming round later, then we zoom off to Amsterdam. There will be burritos at the local market first.
I wrote a command line scrobble client the other day. You never know when you’ll need to pipe your scrobbles.
Wow it’s been a long time with no blogging.. Just thought I’d post some abbreviated updates.
The lease on my current place runs out on the 31st, so I’m looking for rooms again.
I saw Fever Ray at Shepard’s Bush Empire on Thursday. It was amazing.
At Last.fm we’ve been working hard on the next iteration of search (with neat auto-completion) and launched a beta to subscribers on Wednesday.
I’ve been playing with HBase, and loaded a 700 million cell table into a 5 node cluster with no problems at all. I’m also setting up this mini cluster so I can run Dumbo jobs over HBase.
Also of note: Last.fm is hiring.
25ish hours on a plane, over.
