Love Toronto
I still love London, but I'm getting to love Toronto, too.
I've only been here a shade over a week but have already found a gaggle of fine places for The List.

I've only been here a shade over a week but have already found a gaggle of fine places for The List.
I'll be moving out of London in just a few short weeks, but I'm far from tired of it. Here's a quick run-down of some of my favourite establishments. I've been popping in as often as possible lately, each time not knowing if that'll be the last time for a good, long while.

I've just cooked up a little hack to easily send links to Twitter.
It's inspired by the TwitterLink app which is neat but asks for your Twitter name and password, which I think you should only tell to Twitter themselves.
Basically you add a bookmarklet which sends the current page to my server, I ask the handy is.gd service to shorten the link, then I send you on to Twitter where the tweet box is pre-filled with the is.gd link.
I plan to mainly use it from my iPhone, since it is devoid of copy and paste.
Some clever folk have spotted that you can make pretty good stands for the iPhone using bulldog or binder clips. This one was the first I saw, but like many of the others you have to bend the clips.
I wanted something that I could easily make from normal clips. They typically follow me around when I'm travelling.

I've got a little more diligent recently about using encryption where I can. In particular, several sites allow you to use an encrypted connection, but don't force it:
Here's a handy little script for checking Simple File Verification (SFV) files. These are commonly used when distributing files over Usenet, where a large file is sliced into many parts and posted separately. It is just a list of checksums of the smaller parts of the file, so doesn't guard against evil-doers, just random errors.
I used to use a GUI program on the Mac, but it started misbehaving and I'm much happier at the command line.
