Nathan Massey replied on August 13, 2009 00:11 to the problem "Error code 69-C00D002F when playing some .mp4 on the Xbox 360." in Microsoft Corporation:
This issue is still occurring even after the dashboard update on the 11th August (change log at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemupdates/default.htm).
There is another update coming later in the year that will add Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm to the 360, hopefully this issue will be fixed alongside that update. -

Note to MS employees, you can mark this as 'solved' now. -
Nathan Massey reported a problem in Get Satisfaction on August 13, 2009 00:04:
'Xbox' company on GS should probably be merged with 'Microsoft'.There is a company on GS named 'Xbox' (getsatisfaction.com/xbox) which has a topics and products that relate to the Microsoft's XBOX games console. As 'Xbox' is a product and not a company, shouldn't the 'Xbox' company page on GS be merged with the Microsoft (getsatisfaction.com/microsoft) page to ensure that those who have posted on the 'Xbox' page are more likely to get a response to their problems? -

Nathan Massey reported a problem in Leeds City Council on July 27, 2009 17:28:
Green recycling bin collections need to be the same frequency as black bin collections.As people recycle more and more of their total household waste, having recycling bin collections once every month is simply not enough.
Both black and green bins should be collected once per week (e.g Black on Tuesday, Green on Thursday). -
Nathan Massey shared an idea in Leeds City Council on July 27, 2009 17:23:
Leeds City Council should track the weight of waste you put in your bins, and put the data online.A system whereby a resident and the council can track the amount of waste they recycle using a system on RFID sensors on bins and weighing systems combined with a computer on bin wagons.
1. A RFID chip is fitted to each normal, recyclable, garden waste and food waste bin in Leeds.
2. The chip is simply holds at UBN (Unique Bin Number), which is also embossed on the side of the bin. (e.g LCC-BLACK-1234567890 or LCC-GREEN-1234567890 or LCC-FOOD-1234567890)
3. The resident fills up their bins as normal.
4. On collection day, the bins are put onto the wagon, but before they are emptied, a weighing system on the van takes the weight of the waste in the bin (taking into account the weight of the bin itself.) It then scans the RFID chip in the bin, and inputs both the weight of the waste and the bins UBN into a database on a system on-board the van.
5. At the end of the collection, when the van goes back into the depot, the contents of the database are uploaded to the web based system.
6. A resident then goes onto leeds.gov.uk/recycle, logs into their own account (registration is auto-filled using a ID number from council tax bill). Here they can see how much of each type of waste they have produced (in kg) on each collection. It can also be plotted on a graph to see how much they produce over a given time range.
7. A resident gets 'achievements' for hitting various targets, which are shown on their accounts. For example,
- Well done! You recycled 50% of your total waste this month!
- Awesome! You increased your recycling rate by 10% since last month!
- Fantastic! You reduced the total amount of waste you produce by 15% this month!
8. The system should also allow for a resident to embed a small 'widget' on their Facebook page or website that shows what % of waste the recycled at their last collection. Someone can then click on that widget and see their full 'waste profile' on leeds.gov.uk/recycle (if the user has chosen to make their profile public, not everyone will want to let people know how much waste they produce!)
9. The system would also output each users data in a XML feed so that it can be mashed up with for other uses, and included in other applications. For example you might have a program that monitors both your electricity, water, gas, broadband usage and waste (using data from leeds.gov.uk/recycle) in one application.
This system has the benefits of,
- Residents can keep track of how much waste they produce and recycle. Actually seeing the hard figures is likely to make them think twice about their waste.
- The council has accurate data about how much waste is collected/recycled.
- The council can add extra incentives for people to recycle more, e.g recycle 75% of your waste and get £x off your council tax bill.
- This would also be great for businesses, as they could embed the widget on their website to show their customers that they are 'green' by recycling a high % of their waste. -

Nathan Massey shared an idea in BBC on July 26, 2009 22:31:
The BBC should put it's entire back catalogue of TV onto iPlayerIt would be great if BBC put every TV show it has ever made online onto iPlayer, much like Channel 4 is doing with their 4oD service. -
Nathan Massey reported a problem in Barclays on July 26, 2009 22:24:
Barclays needs to drastically improve it mobile banking website (barclays.mobi).There are quite a few problems with the barclays.mobi website.
- The Mobile Banking link just takes you off to the regular full mobile banking page on Barclays.co.uk. A mobile optimized version of the online banking site is needed.
- A better way of logging into online banking when on the move needs to be available. Obviously, when you're out and about, you don't have your PINsentry reader with you, so you use 'Instant Access' instead. This is incredibly cumbersome and takes ages to enter all the required data. There should be a way of entering your data once, then just entering a single 'mobile' password when you want to get access.
- When you add the website to your home screen on a iPhone, it doesn't have a icon (just a preview of the entire webpage).
Note: All Barclays need to do is create a 57px x 57px PNG with the Barclays logo on it, call it "apple-touch-icon.png" and put in the root document folder of barclays.mobi. -
Nathan Massey replied on July 26, 2009 22:08 to the idea "Barclays should make a iPhone app." in Barclays:
It's quite annoying that Barclays feels it's a good idea to spend money on making a water slide game before making a app for their customer to manage their money.

Nathan Massey gave praise in Barclays on July 26, 2009 22:03:
New Barclays online banking website is fantastic!The re-design of the Barclays online banking website is great. It has a much clearer layout and the general aesthetic is great.
It's good to see Barclays taking their online operations seriously, and investing time and money into making them better.
Now that the online banking website is sorted, it would be great if Barclays could now focus on improving their mobile banking website, and creating a dedicated iPhone application. -
Nathan Massey replied on July 26, 2009 21:25 to the question "iPlayer Shows as RSS" in BBC:
I would also like to see individual RSS feeds for each show. It would make it easier to keep an eye on when my favorite shows are available. -

Nathan Massey shared an idea in O2 on July 26, 2009 01:13:
O2 should reduce the price of their roaming data cost per MB.I'm going on holiday this week, and to avoid building up a huge amount of email in inbox for when I get back, i've been looking into the costs of using my iPhone abroad, so I can keep check on it while i'm out of the country. Here's how the 5 UK operators in stack up in terms of how much it will cost you to download 1MB of data to your phone, when roaming in a Western European country.
3 Mobile = £1.25
T-Mobile = £1.50
O2 = £2.94
Orange = £2.94
Vodafone = £4.99
As you can see, 3 and T-Mobile are clearly the cheapest out of the five, and this is because they have reduced their prices in accordance with a new EU regulation that caps the wholesale price (the price your mobile provider pays the foreign provider) of mobile data at €1. The idea is that the operators pass the reduction in price onto consumers. 3 and T-Mobile have clearly done this, whereas the other operators clearly have kept that saving for themselves.
This is yet another thing to add to a long list of reasons I have to want to leave O2 when my contract expires.
