    #Nationwide #BuildingSociety sent me a #letter stating they couldn't contact me by #email. Apparently they've been asking me to go #paperless.
    1. I've been #paperless for #years
    2. I have no problem #reading their #emails
    3. I've #downloaded all my statements
    4. They sent a #bulkmail reminder to goodness knows how many #customers (#paper, 'envelope, #printing) inc. those using #electronic #statements

  3. Dear Friends of RSS,

    In my #efforts to be a #Super-Nerd, I am trying to use #RSS. It seems a good way of #receiving #news and #following #ideas relevant to me rather than #programmed, #syndicated or biased social media?

    As usual, I #know nothing about it, just familiar with its symbol ...
    So far I have #downloaded an RSS program, #Firefox #extension and tried to make sense of them or at least use in some #relevant way ...

    I may be too #stupid to use the interneti-neti:
    - the program just seemed to be busy waiting for food, #feed, #connection
    - the Firefox extension seems to be doing something when I load it
    - the sun is shining and maybe I should have a #weather RSS feeding

  4. Today, when I woke up, I thought "I'll have to use that #Microsoft #Windows laptop in 48 hours, I should get it down and start #updates". It's been off for two weeks after all .

    I plugged it in and clicked "check for updates at 7.30am. (Downloads usually run at 15Mbps into the draughty shoebox I call home.)

    Every now and then during the day, I noticed it asking if it was OK to #reboot, and I clicked "reboot now" to help it along. I certainly didnt use it to do any work.

    It is 8.57pm, still updating, It seems to have #downloaded about 25GB so far and rebooted perhaps six times.

    I'm off to bed, this is utterly insane.

  5. Watched the Blues Clues movie with the kids this morning while recovering from the holiday and was thrilled to see this most excellent cameo from @alexwinter. Not only was it a nice surprise, but it earned me some cool points from the extended family when I told them I had a wonderful interview with him almost a decade ago about his Napster documentary, Downloaded. (Check it out if you haven't seen it.)

    What is this word, 'buy'? We understand libraries lend.

    Some #books older than 50 years with lapsed #copyright like #GeorgeOrwell can be #downloaded for #free from some places :)
