17 years ago, I was reading @GreatDismal’s Count Zero, and chose “gothick” as a login name for a Unix system. I’ve been using it ever since.

@lucyreddd Yeah. I liked it when you could accuse someone of being “the speedbump”.

@lucyreddd As in, “British Telecom is the speedbump on the information superhighway”.

@Dru_Marland If I had the spare cash I’d get one just the same made up, with “no laughing” added and substitute it.

jbrownridge PLEASE don’t put an encrypted file on your enemy’s computer and tell the police he’s a paedo. If he can’t decrypt he goes to jail.

caitlinmoran I like to imagine the man who invented PIng & the man who invented Google Wave, sitting in a bar together, stabbing pictures of Steve Jobs.

@hayles Well, “I need a place for miscellaneous crap that doesn’t fit anywhere else” is why I started mine :)

@parryphernalia Go for it! @hayles was only complaining about the stereotype this morning. Do your bit to confound societal expectations!

@globalmoxie Pretty sure it was a US bank I first heard about doing that, last year sometime. USAA, maybe?

wshed Tonight’s William Gibson event is definitely delayed due to an incident on the train Gibson is travelling on - apologies.

Installing myself at @wshed to await delayed @GreatDismal. I’ll be the one reading with a Kindle in the corner of raised seating!

.@benparkatbjs No. Though it was fun at the ticket office: “Which event?” “William Gibson.” “And your surname?” “Gibson.” “Oh!”

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to BenPark

@wshed No worries! Gave me time to sample the rather awesome risotto! :)

@hayles This may be one of the more subtle advantages of the Kindle.

Heh. I now have a Kindle signed by William Gibson :) http://yfrog.com/74fx8yj

@indiaknight You could be describing any episode of any of the series I’ve seen…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to indiaknight

@hayles Yeah, but I didn’t mention it was just a sample chapter ;). Sorry, Bill, _will_ buy it, honest!
