So what does the future hold? Who knows but while 2009 was a hard year for all of us we have emerged from it stronger and closer together. We go to California on holiday in the summer and then to relatives in Tennessee. I will hopefully begin a new chapter of my life at uni and Katy will also hopefully start college

I must confess here I have minimal coding skills (nor do I have a tin hat ). I do not know how feasible this is and how you would go about doing it. Anyway here is the idea

The user upon installing the extension can specify a list of 4 -5 five sites that, when the browser restarts, will be loaded in order of preference (preferred priority list). Any other tabs/pages rather than reloading the page display a simple large refresh button that the user can press when they want to load that tab.
Therefore when the browser restarts, in my preferences would open
1. Plurk
2. Facebook
3. The Student Room (Homepage but not individual threads which I usually have open in tabs. Could possibly be done by using some sort of wild cards.
4. Reader

The main disruption to work flow is, not when I boot my computer up first thing and my first point of call would be them above sites, but when I am busy doing something. So to get round this problem the user could then right click on the tab and assign it a priority of between 1 and 3, for reference sake lets call this quick priority. Then when the browser is restarted it looks at the list of tabs in the quick priority list and loads them and then loads your preferred list. Upon closing that particular tab it is removed from the quick priority list and if there is nothing in the quick priority list then it will dive straight in and open up the tabs in the order specified in your preferred list.

And so having just had to restart my computer it would have meant that I didn’t have to wait for 16 tabs to load, half of which are articles that I am going to read another time.

So after watching that I went on to the ted talk builder here (http://get-tedpad.com/) and this is the result. Masterpiece.

How many of you could think this way? It would be a good choice that requires great imagination. (Applause.) Thank you very much. I think that a mirror for the world would help. For every single one of us, I would like to compare our brain to recognize the exact way it’s supposed to think et cetera, et cetera. It is like French phrases such as “et cetera, et cetera”. But I should be more specific when referring to a milky weak coffee that is quite nuanced in the same way that our neurons are. Efficient trimming causes the brain to tell you that it needs to rest a little. But I would like to use the underlying data to create beautiful statistics. All of a sudden, people noticed that in the middle of voyages, there are often beautiful places that you miss. I would like to compare this to a patient who was very comfortable with himself. If you look at the science behind it, happiness is to go along where life takes you.

The Arctic Oscilation (AO) is a pattern of changes in sea level pressure in the Arctic and over the Azores. During positive fluctuations there is low pressure over the Arctic and high pressure over the Azores causing droughts in the Med, warmer than average temperatures over much of europe along with rain in northern parts of the UK and Scandanavia. Durring negative fluctuations however there is high pressure over the Arctic and Low pressure over the Azores bringning cold arctic air to northern europe, drier conditions to the UK and cold arctic air reaches southerly latitudes in the US & Canada.

Take a look at the graph below. This graph shows a 3 month moving average for the AO and you can see at the end of 2009 there is a large negative fluctuation.

This is then corroborated by what we are see. Heavy snow falls have blighted the UK for the best part of a month now. In new york, Washington and Phillidelphia places have been inundated with more than 2 foot of snow in places.

The thing is though no one knows how long it is going to last. From the sites that I have read to gather this information they recon that they snow could be here for anywhere between 1 week to 2 but looking at the BBC weather forcast simulation it shows that the country could start warming up again by the weekend.

In the mean time we’ll all just have fun in the snow.

Now the only rules of the playlist is that you have to start listening to it that year. It doesn’t have to have come out that year but you have to have started listening it to in that year. And as a result it can’t then be in any playlists in years to come. The final rule is that the playlist can be no more than 30 tracks long

So we have my 2008 playlist

And this is my 2009 Playlist. The links on the titles are to youtube videos for those that don’t know the songs

So what does this prove. I have a shit taste in music but as someone once said to me “quality of music is how the listener judges it” and that is why I think these tracks are awesome and I hope you like them as well.

Now that I have uploaded the photos, you can see all of them here, I think this one has to be my favorite

As you can see, I have a new theme. I have spent a bit of time making it and obviously it is now ready to show the world

I have also been to london and took a few pictures. Here are my favorites so far…

The hero has Sense built on the cupcake release of android (1.5), now Donut is out (1.6) but htc is not releasing a donut release and as such is skipping to eclair (2.0). Now I wanted to try my hand at developing my own android app but I am left with a dilema. I can write a cupcake version of the app now but then have to rewrite it again very soon when eclair comes out which is unknown how long htc will take to port senseUI to eclair with htc stating that it could be quite a while cos Eclair is a major release of the OS. Or I could write an Eclair version of the app but have no way of testing the app to see whether it works or not cos my phone does not have eclair running. Nor the fact that if it does work I won’t be able to run my own application which is the whole point in writing my own.

And so while android is all very well and a beautiful system to use, google does some strange things to screw up development and I am beginning to see the benefits of only having one handset a la Apple.
