  • In Rainbows downloading – great I can listen to it during the commute to work :) #
  • My first impression of In Rainbows was that there are a couple of good songs but the rest was not outstanding but … #
  • … on playing it (In Rainbows) again, I’m discovering more and more. This is an album that bears repeated listening. #

  • Received email about Radiohead album release – my activation code will be sent tomorrow a.m. (UK time). Single zip file with 160 K MP3s #
  • Does anyone have a spare Jaiku invite? #

  • Red wine and spicy pumpkin soup in Schlehdorf am Kochelsee #
  • @annikrubens My recent cold started with a sore throat. I hope that yours doesn’t go the same way. Looking forward to the next SiM. #
  • I’m staying deep in the Bavarian countryside this week – where UMTS is nowhere to be seen and GPRS coverage is marginal at best! #
  • On my mobile, browsing via GPRS is fine subjectively – a taste of things to come in case I can’t resist buying an iPhone? #
  • @P-Dub Looks like an impressive castle – google maps tells me its about 60 km from where I am right now. Have you been there? #
  • @P-Dub then I must make time for a visit! I’ll be in the area for the next few months (currently communiting between Berlin and Bavaria). #

  • Indian food and a glass of chianti in Ismaning #
  • Ordered the Radiohead boxed set, which includes the download as well #
  • Can’t wait until 10.10. Radiohead are one of the few bands that can get my juices flowing! #
