My #OneFortyOne twitter hashtag

[ Short link to this article if you need it - http://goo.gl/kfESIw ]

 Just in case anyone sees a tweet of mine tagged with #OneFortyOne, it came about when one night I was listening to music into the early hours and decided to post a tweet with some lyrics from the song I was listening to at the time ♫. Afterwards I added the text "(No-one will read this at 1:41am will they?)"

So from then on I decided that if I was listening to music at 1:41am my time I'd tweet some lyrics from whatever I was listening to, and it'll always be tagged one #onefortyone. So now you know. Why not try it too - lets be honest - any followers in your local time zone up at that time aren't going to be looking for any particularly intellectual tweets anyway :-) (Having said that, rather inevitably someone in another time zone (Canada) pointed out that it wasn't 1:41am!)

If you want to follow my listening habits, which will usually include any #OneFortyOne entries, then you're welcome to friend me on last.fm where most of my music listening is dynamically posted, wherever I'm listening.

Twitter "Likes", labelling people, and BLM

This article, at over 3500 words, is probably too long ... but I had a lot to say on the subject and I feel better having written it. Maybe in lockdown some people will sit down with a cup of tea and scan through it. If you want to do it faster use the Chome spreed plugin since I never got spritz integrated to this blog. What does twitter's "like" ♡♥ mean to you? In 2015 twitter changed the star (favorite) operation to the heart (like). Personally I use the heart as a bookmark operation - it doesn't mean I agree with the tweet, I don't use it as an "I've seen this" acknowledgement, or any of the other reasons mentioned in this 2015 article about the change. In, fact I'm more likely to use it to represent things that have made me think - possibly things I actively disagree with, which makes judging people based on their twitter likes to be a dangerous ans misleading thing to do. The only real problem I have with the way I use likes as bookmarks ...

Netgear's technical support- case study in incompetence

I had to post this transcript of a conversation I've had with Netgear support over almost six weeks trying to get an answer to a question about having problems creating an IPv6 tunnel using one of their routers. The level of technical non-support was shatteringly poor from a company that should understand networking equipment. I hope this blog serves as a warning to others - I will not purchase any Netgear equipment in the future. After the last response I gave up since their vague response left me unconvinced they understood enough to ever give me the answer I wanted - "other features that support the use of IPv6" is sufficiently vague to not be a useful answer. The summary of faults I have with the support in general are: The first reply said "it may require a few email exchanges before we can resolve the issue". OK I accept that many people may not supply all the information to let them resolve first time round but I didn't think it was because of incomp...

Why do I pay for music streaming on WE7? And why On-Air On-Sale (OAOS) is a good thing

Shortened link to this page if you need it - http://goo.gl/x0OsF or on twitter feel free to retweet me instead (Note: This article was posted on April 16th but was drafted before the announcement from Spotify about limiting 'free' users to 10 hours/month and each track no more than 5 times) Those who follow my blog (or twitter feed) will have heard me talk about a dissatisfaction with the media industry and their attempted heavy-handed techniques towards their customers in relation to activities surrounding the UK Digital Economy Bill (DEBill). If you missed it, it's here . As part of that I mentioned that it's actually almost pointless illegally downloading music these days because of the availability of free alternatives such as Spotify and We7, and to a lesser extent Youtube (which generally requires higher bandwidth for comparable quality). Now We7 and Spotify are both free-to-use, and they do this by playing you adverts periodically (we7 allow you to build up cred...
