The link between Jo Cox's killer and Britain First seems all but confirmed.

BF have 1.5 million Facebook "likes" and apparently this page shows if your friends are among them.

Yes, I noticed that. Very heavily edited.

I genuinely don't think this would work here in the UK as people - whether pedestrians or cyclists - just have too much attitude. Too many pedestrians wander into the road without looking, and too many cyclists happily buzz inept jaywalkers. For something like this to work it needs a bit of care and consideration from all parties.

Spanks. Shit, I just had a thought - my Garmin might only have UK maps.

Maybe time to investigate those open source maps?

If you have the standard Navigator maps then I think they cover Majorca

Ok, thanks Hippy.

That beddit gadget looks interesting. I've signed up.

If you didn't see it then it's worth watching the Horizon programme about QS that was on a few weeks ago. Some quite interesting stuff in it. Think it was called "Monitor Me".

Yeah but that's not very "cloud" is it? ;)

I think I'll need to adjust my phone tariff. I was curious about data usage, after a day of using Google Music on the go. On average I seem to use 2 - 10mb a day, and about 300mb a month. On Tuesday, after several hours of Google Music I'd used 260mb!

I'll be looking for an unlimited plan as soon as I can change my Three contract.

I'm just coming to terms with the impact of using Google Music on data usage :-) If my calculations are correct then it will take a little over 7 hours of continuous play to use up 1GB of data....

(That assumes that you are listening to music with a constant bit-rate of 320 kbit/s. I don't know how Google Music adjusts bit-rate for the bandwidth that it actually finds to be available.)

I'm expecting mine to arrive tomorrow. Good times. Currently uploading some tunes to Google Music and preparing for a more cloud-oriented lifestyle :)

I ordered the bumper and had subsequently been thinking about getting some sort of case. But on further reflection I reckon I might just go for a sleeve of some sort. Any advice?

I have also tried on and off since 8am and have not managed to buy one :)

Has anyone heard of any retail stores where you can get one SIM-free?

I pay 15 pounds for my t-mobile sim only deal and have a fair use of 750mb on my "unlimited data". I think I am being diddled.

I may well call them and say I am leaving.

I'm currently with T-Mobile and they don't appear to be at all competitive in the SIM-only market, and so I'm pleased to be leaving them (despite having been with them for a good few years).

I'm thinking about which SIM-only deal to get as well. Here are my thoughts...

From 6th November GiffGaff (who use O2) will be:
£10 for 250 mins + unlimited texts + 1GB mobile internet (tethering allowed)
£12 for 250 mins + unlimited texts + unlimited mobile internet (tethering not allowed)

(GiffGaff did a consultation on their price change recently and you can find a slide show on this page.)

Virgin (who use Everything Everywhere (T-Mobile/Orange)) look like the closest competitor:
£10 for 250 mins + unlimited texts + 1GB mobile web
£12 for 1200 mins + unlimited texts + 1GB mobile web
£12 for 125 mins + unlimited texts + unlimited mobile web

It looks like Virgin's "unlimited mobile web" is subject to a 10GB monthly limit after which speed is reduced (during the day) until the end of the month. It's not clear from those T&Cs whether tethering is allowed on Monthly contracts (although a post from a Virgin employee in the support forum suggests that tethering is allowed). It is made clear elsewhere that tethering is not allowed on PAYG contracts.

So, given that I want to be able to tether ocassionally, I reckon I might try the £10 deal on GiffGaff and see how much data I use. If I exceed the 1GB I'll probably switch to the 12GB deal on Virgin (and hope I'm ok with the lower minutes).

If you want to "avoid Google where possible" then Android is not for you.

Quite glad I didn't pull the trigger on the Galaxy Nexus deal on Expansys a few weeks ago... I'm definitely getting a 16GB LG Nexus 4 :)

Haven't seen it but might watch it on catch-up...
Hope it helps Anna Glowinski as I'm impressed at how she has built up her brand from scratch.

Paul Waugh (politcal journalist) tweeted about it earlier and suggests the rider was female. Probably shouldn't read anything into the word "tragic" as yet.

Just cycled past another tragic London cycling accident. New Kings Road. Big lorry, woman cyclist, ambulances +fire crews doing thr best

Please can someone paste the list of major AL clients from the London Taxi Drivers forum? I would but I'm waiting for my account to be approved.

• If we work at an AL client then we should raise the issue internally
  
• If we know someone who works at an AL client then we should contact them
  
• And we may want to target the AL clients anyway (but politely/constructively!)
  
  

As regards raising the issue in our own companies then a good route is likely to be via keen cyclists among the senior management (i.e. those who will have enough influence to affect purchasing decisions).

Looked like a rider was down in Richmond Park at some point this afternoon.

They had taped off the road and apparently the person was airlifted away.

I don't know any more than that.

Possibly a motorbike and a Boris biker were involved

People from work spotted the air ambulance too.

Not sure whether a pedestrian or cyclist was involved with the motorbike.

Some chat on Twitter about a cyclist, but then again quite a few comments about it being a pedestrian.

Yeah, that's sometimes on my commute, and I agree it's not a great roundabout.

Hope Ian is ok.

Would be interested in the origin of those stats.

I've been riding Kings Road every day for years and it definitely feels like one of the safer parts of my commute.

Just read this thread and -for what it's humbly worth - wanted to add my support. Thinking of you both.

What are the benefits for participants (other than helping medical science...)?

Do they get some nice graphs, a certificate, a medal, etc.?

Saw it today

SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE!
