Borderline Asperger’s lets me communicate with both managers and coders. To one, I am “Systems Analyst”. To the other: “Speaker-to-Idiots”.

@benparkatbjs Oh, I’m sure it won’t be boring. Not with the obvious inherent risk of crash and explosion.

@chrisphin Gibson’s corrolary: the one that’s not Mac-compatible will be the one with the feature you really need.

@andybeebristol If it’s gyp with a particular doc, select all text before Review -> Set Language.

via Echofon in reply to andybeebristol

@andybeebristol Document properties? Document’s language will override the default. Or to put it another way: are you using French letters?

@zinziii How the hell do you have such good skin? That lot would bring me out in zits right now, let alone when I was your age!

@BrokenLogo that’s what I was scared of. Was in bed by 11! Shame… was on songwriting course with Natalie, so wanted to hear her!

via Echofon in reply to BrokenLogo

@BrokenLogo Yeah, wish I’d been awake enough, but definitely wasn’t. No, haven’t seen poster, unfortunately.

@KaveyF Henry has now left the building.

@benparkatbjs And read the comments on any online Evening Post story without getting despondent and angry :)

@ahnlak What I wish I had was a normal one to put it next to!

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@jemimakiss Hmm. What email provider are you using, and what network (3G or WiFi) are you using?

via Echofon in reply to jemimakiss

@mjh53 @ahnlak It was Amazon who kicked them off the iPhone, sadly. http://bit.ly/bYOiRh

No, Java installer, I do not want the Yahoo toolbar. Nor will I wish to buy a comedy top hat along with my next petrol purchase.

via Echofon

@jemimakiss are you getting any error message? Change your password recently? Are you on someone else’s WiFi network?

via Echofon in reply to jemimakiss

@Lillput Agreed. That’s one thing I’ve learned about Mountain Dewdo far: I shouldn’t drink it in the afternoon. Needed a Nytol at 1am.

@gary8345 Sorry; my fault: I took my glove out of my coat pocket yesterday morning. “I won’t need _those_ any more…”

@tsunimee Thing about bots is, they don’t care how big your blog is. They’re just bots. They see a WordPress install, and they spam it.

Maaaahhrnin’ Awwwl.

@tsunimee I often double-check. Didn’t tonight. Hey, maybe I’m wrong. Off back to bed to try again!

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

Balls. Something tells me that post-dinner coffee wasn’t the decaf I asked for.

@hayles Mmmmm. I am about to go from my New Chair of Pleasure to my memory-foam-topped bed. Mmm. Softness.

@SharonECampbell Whereas a pub that has Langres on its chessboard is an unhygienic pub.

Nice little bit of “you must buy this” copy. http://twitpic.com/1c7ryx

@thomasreggi May I suggest the rather cool Sleep Cycle app as an alternative? No affiliation; I just like it :)

via Echofon in reply to thomasreggi

@tsunimee yes. And the larger botnets can be made up of around half a million computers, normally infected home PCs. Each. Scary.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee It’s everything. They crawl the web, looking for anything they can spam, mostly based on the most popular blogging/forum software.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@neilhimself Oooh, that’s lush. And something new to add to my “Songs With the Word ‘Fuck’ In Them” playlist, too.

via Echofon in reply to neilhimself

@tsunimee And that’s just the first few of the nine so far today. And I have fewer than 50 actual subscribers.

@tsunimee Current comment:spam ratio on my tiny-volume blog is 32:264. If I didn’t use Akismet spam protection, I’d have to have a CAPTCHA

Ouch. Tens of thousands of London broadband & phone users suffer from results of fire and flood: http://bit.ly/c7oyhj

@the_beacon They are just irritating noise, aren’t they?

@matthew_roach Clifton Village. Had lunch there, never done dinner (in any of them.)
