@bertpalmer I normally run with it in a pocket at the mo. Still, maybe won’t want the jacket where the sleeves get in the way tonight!

If I’d wanted to spend so much of my life staring at hourglasses, I’d have taken a career in an antique glassware shop.

@rhodri How do I move? I’m a geek; personally I move seldom, slowly, and usually under protest.

@bertpalmer @AndyCarolan I was scared to look at it at work when you said that!

One day, I will find an online flowcharting tool that wraps text into diamond-shaped decision boxes properly. Is that web 5.0?

via Echofon

@rhodri Yes. As is the lack of understanding of how voting works.

via Echofon in reply to rhodri

@zinziii True. But it’s still generally better than the alternatives.

@bexxi @lilibaloo @goswoppit We’ll tell you if you tell us what the heck “nulligravida” means? Are we all going to float off into space?

via Echofon in reply to bexxi

Gah. @echofon just crashed while I was in the middle of writing a tweet. Don’t think it’s ever lost data on me before…

via Echofon

@bexxi Goodness. Learn something every day. On the other hand, I know who Sooty and Sweep are, but I’m fairly sure I’ve never given birth :)

Hmm. Well, the @Runkeeper target pace feature looks interesing, but how am I going to know when to turn around if I can’t set distance, too?

via Echofon

@csoanes Hey, I hand-craft these for hours. Have you not noticed how each one is also an acrostic _and_ a haibun?

via Echofon in reply to csoanes

@bertpalmer I can’t find a way of having a voice prompt for target pace _and_ for “you’ve done 2.5k, so turn around.” Either, but not both.

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@Runkeeper Glad to know it’s coming. Shame most of my runs are 5K with a halfway turnaround, is all!

via Echofon in reply to Runkeeper

@talkie_tim Could do, but all my known landmarks are on the A4, and I want to go down the towpath instead now there’s daylight!

via Echofon in reply to talkie_tim

Ooh. The Big Room has a particularly blue ceiling today.

@rhodri My theory: high proportion of coders on social media, and they tend to equate law with a computer program & forget human factor.

via Echofon in reply to rhodri

Sure the bloke who produced this Radio 4 show about extremists released from prison only did it because “Free Radicals” is such a bad pun.

via Echofon

@dressjunkie Good decision, I think. Real class beats fake size every time.

via Echofon

Hmm. Just back from 5K run. I think.

via Echofon

All I can tell so far is that my GPS has been playing up and that @Runkeeper’s web server runs on Apache and is also playing up.

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes Ironically, I had a hard time reading that because the annoying Flash adverts all over it nearly killed my browser.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@chrisphin Whereas my iMac is the other way around. Either that or our glasses are the other way around :)

via Echofon in reply to chrisphin

…and I think this one: http://flic.kr/p/7RZarU wins my “favourite photo of the day”.

via Echofon

@bertpalmer Heh. Also, as I found out this evening, using polarised sunglasses while trying to see the screen in an armband is… hard.

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bananza I love them, but I have to restrain myself at the Mexican place near here that hands them out after dinner, else I’m awake ‘til 4am

via Echofon in reply to bananza

@KaveyF Yeah, I keep on getting @ahnlak and @Aleksandr_Orlov confused now.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Unique sentence that, _now_.
