@hayles You, ma’am, should watch WarGames, which is (a) beloved film of both boy and girl geeks of all persuasions, and (b) explains DEFCON.

@hayles Do you allocate HAIRCON numbers, like DEFCON?

Quite pleased with my minor foray into typography last night: http://bit.ly/bTgr05

Staleware (n): Any piece of software you use just often enough that it needs to do a self-update and restart every single time you run it.

@Jorence @stillawake Sounds good to me. The Tweakfast Club. Okay, now it doesn’t sound good to me. We’ll have to work on the name :)

via Echofon

@Jorence @stillawake Heh. My typin’ fingers are extra-clumsy while I’m still waiting for the espresso machine to get up to temperature :)

via Echofon

@Jorence @stillawake Now look what you’ve done. Suddenly, this small Noel of Rice Krispies doesn’t seem quite… breakfasty enough.

Right. Definitely bedtime. Okay, definitely at least an hour past bedtime. Anyway. Better late than never. Night all!

@tsunimee @KaveyF It was yummy. As were the perfectly-done chips. Mmm.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

‘kay. Will try again with next batch.

via Echofon

@tweeny4 Okay. Unfortunately, having tried it, I think I need more practice at figuring out which pictures it will work well with…

via Echofon in reply to tweenycrafts

Hmm. Is there an easy way of getting @TextExpander to start on login? Sure it used to, but it doesn’t seem to any more…

via Echofon

@treblechamp Indeed. Although I roughly double the average age on walking into a ‘shambles gig, it seems. Worth it, though :)

via Echofon in reply to treblechamp

@treblechamp Saw them live in December in Bath. One of the best gigs of my life.

via Echofon in reply to treblechamp

@treblechamp Listening to Beg, Steal or Borrow right now, in fact :) Think I have all the albums, plus a few random extras…

*sings* “She’s the last of… the English roses…” *sings*

Thank you, eBuyer, for stepping up to the plate and sorting Parcelforce out. Hopefully. Will see if I can collect the right parcel on Sat!

via Echofon

Hmm. Should I experiment with @tweeny4 bars, I wonder?

via Echofon

@hayles oopsie. @stillawake, that should have been.

via Twitter Web Client

Anyway, yes, home from the six-hour Meeting From Hell. And at least there was carbohydrate-based compensation.

via Echofon

@archidave Nope; next actual race I’m signed up for is the half-marathon in September. Which is scary.

via Echofon in reply to archidave

@BradleyLaw Great chips, too. Highly decent pub fare all round, really.

via Echofon in reply to BradleyLaw

@philmonger Yup, taking the week off. Done less running this month than I have for ages. So far. Back to it on Sunday, I reckon.

via Echofon in reply to philmonger

Walking home through gorgeous Bristol, alone, listening to Wolfman/Doherty’s _For Lovers_. It doesn’t get mich more wistful than this.

And I could actually taste the vodka in the salsa. Odd. http://twitpic.com/1nha28

via Twitter Web Client

About to have a Revolution Vodka Burger. Apparently.

via Twitter Web Client

All-day meeting. Which now extends into the evening. Meh.

via Twitter Web Client

@MizzWorthy I’m guessing never. I liked your tweet, by the way, pictures, naughty, naughty pictures, pics, prescriptions, learn SEO now.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to MizzWorthy

Hmm. The Affordable Art Fair. That’s the one where I can never afford anything I like, isn’t it? Always slightly disappointed by that.

via Echofon

@hayles That is how I started my morning, with @stillswake and @Jorence. Breakfast club?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to hayles

@hayles Yeah? Because their duck in tamarind and honey is FUCKING LUSH.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to hayles

Aww. Just seen a swan literally taking a cygnet under its wing. I love my commute.

via Twitter Web Client

Hah. A @boagworld episode titled “Uncontrolled Ranting”. This should be good.

via Twitter Web Client

@hayles Arse. And the other good place — Yum Yum Thai — was mostly empty and is now something else, from what I remember.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to hayles

@hayles No, I guess Budokan is now toast. Sad. To be fair, they were a bit rubbish the last time I went. Shame, used to be _so_ good.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Huh? Oh, it’s _gone_? I knew the one in town had gone, I didn’t realise they were both gone.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Bugger. I want Budokan to still be good. Not been in ages.
