@DaveHamilton Well, mine are missing, too, breaking a couple of my existing Automator scripts. So if it’s not just you, maybe it’s @panic.
@gary8345 Fixed amount of writing you do every morning, preferably without fail… http://paperartstudio.tr…
@Collingsa I believe we now enter the fine British tradition of Six Days of Gaffes and Spin.
It appears I have failed to do my Morning Pages. Arse.
jcroft Awesome: http://www.whatthefucksh…
@hayles Ahh. Well, take a camera and play “get the most awful photo of the bride.” :)
@hayles Aww. I like weddings.
@hayles Oh. Sadface.
@hayles No; I believe that’s technically known as a “fucking brilliant weekend”.
@DaveHamilton Oh, hey, I just re-ran Transmit and then restarted automator, and I got Synchnronize, Download and Upload (under Internet).
The UK is doomed, Greece is doomed, Louisiana’s doomed… This morning’s news, summarised: we’re all doomed, and the world is doomed with us
@daffodil1979 Wow. Their news has really gone downhill.
@hayles I have never seen this one before!
@Kate_Butler Relatively sure that if she wrote it down and posted it in a stamped envelope with “Gordon Brown” on the front it’d get there.
@tsunimee Yes. JPEG designed specifically for photos, and drops data the eye won’t notice. Ends up as smaller file looking the same.
@tsunimee It’s a good choice for most things that aren’t actually photos (use JPEG for photos), especially now Internet Explorer 6 is dying.
@tsunimee No. It’s got far better color handling than GIF. Generally, unless you actually need animation, use PNG.
@tsunimee PNG is royalty-free, and handles colours and transparency better, too. That’s why it’s now so popular, and GIF is dying off.
@tsunimee e.g. I wanted to release a free program that created GIFs about 15 years ago, but Unisys would have charged me a royalty per copy.
@caffeinebomb Yeah, just walk away. Places can define their own rules for what gets plugged in anyway; the regs are just a minimum.
Wow. Boston Globe’s “Big Picture” gives a taste of the scale of the Louisiana oil rig disaster http://bit.ly/9Ow5bs
When it comes to user interface, Gordon Brown does at least seem the most WYSIWYG of the candidates.
@shezza_t where was David Cameron?
Thank you, DHL, for letting me know that my parcel left Hatfield at 5:11am. What I’d like, though, is an ETA, even to the nearest day.
Grr. At what point did I say Tumblr should cross-post to Twitter? Grrrrrr.
What? Microsoft shot the messenger?
28 years of CDs, and it’s still utter pain to get booklet out of a jewel case. Unsurprised these people aren’t ready for digital innovation.
@caffeinebomb @jamesclay I’m not entirely sure I want to know where one sticks pap test stickers…
@caffeinebomb Some of them will have figured out that happy customers buy more stuff. Who’d’ve thought it?
@tsunimee PNG came along as a free, better alternative to GIF when the patent owners started trying to charge a licence fee for GIF.
@caffeinebomb …although the rules are more complicated, and nobody gets them right anyway. Jobsworth = jobsworth, rules notwithstanding.
@caffeinebomb PAT; it’s the simple “will this thing kill someone?” electrical test for anything in a workplace with a plug on it.
@caffeinebomb So, next time you see one of those stickers on something, peel it off and stick it on your power supply…
Yay! My post-pay day shopping indulgence delivery has arrived :) http://twitpic.com/1jm36f
@DrHairbear Now that’s a smart solution to my problem.
Excel can’t open two different docs with the same name at once. “Hi! I’d like to join the Office dev team!” “Sorry, we already have a Matt.”
Signs you may need to buy a new mug for work, #7: the tannin stains are significantly reducing the liquid capacity.
Fuck. Reflection in shop window reveals man who may have dressed by having charity shop castoffs dumpster emptied over him.
