@ahnlak Huh? Really? Which one(s)?
@KaveyF Cool!
@KaveyF I did mention it a couple of times :)
Kavey @gothick oh oh oh you didn’t tell me you’d been @irkafirka ‘d http://bit.ly/el8Z6w
@ahnlak Well, the brand’s McAfee’s. Sounds Celtic enough. And presumably it’ll protect me from viruses, too.
@ahnlak Don’t get excited, it’s cheap bourbon. Working my way back up to the expensive stuff :)
Kavey Baby it’s cold outside. So make yourself something warming for dinner: http://bit.ly/dROxNE
@KaveyF I just did :) http://yfrog.com/5xwnj0j
Looking through Aztec West’s photos of today’s #bristol student protest. http://www.flickr.com/ph…
@guriben Well, I think I’d tend to put more faith in the figures from the news team who work in a tall building overlooking the route…
@AdamofAlbion Don’t do it! I read that wood chippers give you cancer.
@hayles Closest I’ve been is peering through the window. Let us know how it is!
@EssexEating Patience! Perhaps this is artisan snow, carefully layered for a crisper texture and better long-term depth…
Kavey A post for the Bristolians: dinner at @bathales Graze Bar & Chophouse in Bristol: http://bit.ly/gYBth2
rhodri Search Twitter for “Lewisham” to see what’s kicking off at the council meeting. Riot police etc.
@Jorence Susannah Harker, Louise Lombard _and_ Leslie Phillips. Casting doesn’t get much sexier than that :)
@Jorence Always liked him, ever since _Chancer_. #nostalgia
Watching _Children of Men_. #cliveowen #michaelcaine #goodstart
All this discussion I’m reading needs is for someone to bring up the class issue…
Oh dear. @archidave is stuck in IKEA. Dave, best bet is to find the wardrobe department and then exit through the back of the NÅRNIÅ model.
Luk yu! http://yfrog.com/dyov80j
@penelopeelse I only managed to try them for a day last year before the thaw, but yes, especially on hills and on hard-packed snow.
@penelopeelse Can’t snap em now, but search for YakTrax Walker :)
@penelopeelse No, but I bought snow-chain style things for my boots last year. Can’t wait to try them :)
Brrrrrrrr. Maybe today my heating engineer will actually be answering his phone…
@andybeebristol Sadly I do have to work full time at my employer’s premises :(
@becksldrt Careful; in my recent experience his risotto’s pretty generous #feltfullfortwodays
Handy economic discovery: I can’t tell the difference between SD and HD content playing on my TV.
Hmm. I am under a quilt on my sofa watching ST:TNG. The only thing missing is an actual illness.
@Pockless No worries!
@irkafirka :D Thanks!
Aww! I’ve bee @irkafirka‘d? Cool! http://twitpic.com/3b29d3
irkafirka - @gothick The bounding squirrel: nature’s cutest sine wave. http://twitpic.com/3b29d3
The bounding squirrel: nature’s cutest sine wave.
@libbymiller Yes; seems to be filling gap left by Fresh & Wild in a few ways.
@andybeebristol Never eaten there. Looked & smelled good, though. Def. worth a try.
Just been in Better Food Company for first time. Pleasant. Managed to stop self buying Hobbs House bread. “Matt, you already *have* bread.”
Foiled from jam purchasing at Papadeli by my own shy unwillingness to shop by craning around someone eating their breakfast. #toosmall
@benparkatbjs My favourite is running the lid under a hot tap.
@KaveyF Ta :)
Thought my Kindle was dead, but it turns out that you do actually have to charge it every now and again.
Ugh. Think I and my headache are going to have a day off running today. Might go for a nice walk in the crisp air instead.
Ugh. Still broken. On the plus side, Matthew Cook’s _The Shoe Factory_ in IZ 231 is a fantastic story. #interzone #sf
Right. Coffee. Bath. Interzone. See you this afternoon.
Mpphmph. COFFEEEENOW.
Ugh. Awake, yet very tired. Slept very badly last night.
@hayles Could be.
@ShrpshirePrune Ta. Have passed that on.
@thomasvenables I have half selected, half-random. Works okay.
@hayles Yeah, but it’s twice as bad as normal this evening.
@kellyoxford That should certainly cut things off quickly.
Erm. Why has everyone in Bristol parked in Hotwells tonight?
Thought for one horrible moment that my coffee grinder wasn’t working. #middleclassdisasters
Hah. Have been sucked into my own last.fm top fifteen. Goodness, I love _New Art for the People_ http://bit.ly/flldK2
@djelibeybi_meg @Jorence Erm. Well, I don’t think it was me. Though I could probably do with some.
@thomasvenables Though, having said that, since the last clear-out, my top 15 certainly looks believable. If odd. http://bit.ly/hGI0UC
@thomasvenables …even though I’ve told it not to several times. So half my recommendations are for really odd “ambient” stuff.
@thomasvenables No, just an iTunes playlist. Last.fm keeps on picking up my “writing” music, which is effectively Buddha-trance-Muzak…
Looking for “good but cheap” place to eat in Bath for friends tonight - suggestions, folks? Ta!
Playing my “400 most played” playlist Feel I may be creating some kind of odd feedback loop.
@Jorence Excellent. Be careful, though, as I’ve said, with e-book quality. For paid ones, try sample _and_ check reviews.
@tsunimee Calm down, you. No more train-fainting, okay? Deep breath.
@Markgatiss Remembering Private Eye cartoon: “No. I’m not on the train. I’m in a glass box that smells of piss.”
Cookin’ brunch.
@hayles Impulse. It’s actually been on my shopping list since the _last_ snow, so I don’t think I’m going fast enough for it to be panic :)
@Jorence Don’t make me come over there.
@Jorence On the gripping hand, all these problems can be solved in one fell swoop by going somewhere warm for coffee and cake.
My arms are still mildly trembling. Remind me not to impulse-buy large bags of rock salt when I’m out without the car in future, will you?
Also saw first Tap! magazine. Sadly hidden behind chocolate, but put one front and centre before I left WHS :) http://twitpic.com/3an1pw
Just spotted some @lahlootea in the Arch House Deli window display :) http://twitpic.com/3an0gu
@technex There’s really not that much of it.
@WildlifePhotog Most supermarkets sell them all year round. I know someone who has them as her favourite breakfast. Odd, I know.
@adamrowney I’m confused. What do I have to do to get @zinziii to love my eyeballs and scratch my back?
There has been a mild amount of quickly-melting snow in #Bristol. I can tell by complete gridlock and chaos I walked home past.
@talkie_tim Still having trouble with mine, for some reason.
(Now expecting a slew of new “cable guy” followers from the wrong Cleveland…)
@KaveyF What do you know about the Cleveland Cable Company that I don’t?
Man in Cleveland Cable Company truck screaming profanities at top of voice at queue of evening traffic in front of him. Sounds unhinged.
@alexjbutcher Yeah, it’s often kind of scary when you see the “industry” bit of the food industry rather than just the “food” bit…
@alexjbutcher Indeed. Though looking at the ten-gallon tubs of artificial colour/flavour/MSG they stock makes me wonder about restaurants!
@matthew_roach They apparently have strict rules on profane domains. Which is a refreshingly different approach…
I did have a genuine reason for looking, by the way - struck me that go.thi.ck might be an appropriate name for me to own :)
Surprised the Cook Islands business domain isn’t more popular. Who wouldn’t want to be a .co.ck?
@alexjbutcher Kin Yip Hon. Back wall, right hand side, low shelf. http://kin-yip-hon.co.uk
@RellyAB Huh? I just assumed you always wore that.
Bank of Heaven #ilovethechinesesupermarket http://yfrog.com/c8vzl0j
TheDollSays Off to start Xmas shopping. By which I mean go into M&S, suddenly start hating everyone I know, sob loudly in homewares then buy some shoes.
Best before when? #badtesting http://yfrog.com/73mpbij
@archidave Ta!
Oooh, nicely chilly. http://yfrog.com/1ng3j0j
@stillawake Never mind. At least the money Red Bull will have paid the train company for that will lower future ticket prices. Right?
Okay. Playing _Up The Bracket_ quite loud seems to have worked where coffee hadn’t. Time to get out the door.
@ianoxley Looks convincing. But I think we all know that’s an Action Man in your freezer.
@Jorence Sadly not possible today. Right, coffee time.
@Jorence Is it? Maybe I’ll stay in bed.
@twittl3s Yup, taken maybe a quarter mile further towards Hotwells.
@bertyc I have never found that adding to the number of printers in my life reduces the amount of pain in it.
@thomasvenables Depends on the photo/user’s setting, but often worth a look. Most of mine have the original available. Glad you like it :)
@bertyc Sorry. Good luck… hard enough getting Windows to connect to a Windows printer wirelessly normally :(
@twittl3s At the moment, the reeds have it. But that could change.
@bertyc Ooop. Hang on, forget I said that. Bonjour for Windows works the other way round, doesn’t it? Windows to a Mac printer. D’oh.
@bertyc Hmm. Have you got Bonjour running on the PC?
@thomasvenables Magnifying glass icon/View All Sizes/Original. Should be plenty big enough, it’s pretty much straight from the 400D :)
Speaking of photography, not sure which I prefer of this morning’s two snaps: 1) http://flic.kr/p/8WbhML 2) http://flic.kr/p/8W8eLv
@hayles Yesyesyes.
@TheLloydClan Itsh jusht posshible thaat yooou’re toooo latesh. *hic*
@hayles SHOOT MORE DAMMIT.
@hayles Sounds like it’s already earmarked for someone over there. Ah well, it’s not the camera, it’s what you do with it…
@Thehappyfatgirl I have the 400D, personally. Which is why I’m feeling slightly envious.
Never mind. I’m not sad. Unrelated: I think I’ll drink Bailey’s until I pass out. #noireallyamablokehonest
My dad just bought a 5D and a couple of L lenses to go with it. I was already mildly envious of his _500D_.
How nice to get out of the office and into the nice warm outdoors. #bloodyaircon
@jemimakiss Honestly. Next you’ll ne saying it wasn’t a brilliant idea to privatise them in the first place.
@hayles Yeah. My bleeeh count is quite high this morning. Luckily I’ve made it as far as the coffee shop.
@HeikeM It is quite scummy. Seems to be the only place Alabama 3 play when they’re in town, though, so can’t boycott completely!
@KaveyF Think I dropped you an email — if not can find link again in a bit.
(On the other hand, I probably feel better emotionally-speaking, so hey, I’ll take what I can get…)
Wow! Before I went for my run, I felt really tired. But _now_ I feel… really tired, and cold. #doh
Tired bunny. Nevertheless, I think it may be time for a jog. #brrr
@djelibeybi_meg Hmm? Oh, the tiger suit? Primark.
@djelibeybi_meg @tweeny4 It is AWESOME. And apparently only ten quid.
Colleague just came back from Primark with a full-size “onesie”-style tiger suit. I am jealous.
Fruity! http://yfrog.com/eofhsj
@Jorence One of the things I like about jogging is that it’s astoundingly cheap, as sports go…
@becskr No, she’s only 23. It’s just following her own nutritional advice that made her look like that.
@hayles “Sorry, but if you can’t even manage to turn up to an interview on time, you’re clearly not the kind of employer I’m looking for…”
Mornin’ all. Nice crispy day out!
Okay. Bedtime. Catch you in the morning, all.
@Newdrysdale What, like _Christmas_ presents? Stop being so damn organised! It’s still November!
@ahnlak Ah, yes, those self-emptying wine bottles. Bastards.
@ahnlak Are you seriously telling me that there isn’t LOTS OF CHOCOLATE where you are?
In other news, the Square of Me continues to increase in size :) http://dailybooth.gothic…
@Jorence #firstworldproblem: I have a box of _Charbonnel et Walker_ champagne truffles here, but they’re for someone else. Damn.
The only problem with finishing a bottle of wine is that there is not LOTS OF CHOCOLATE right next to me.
@IreneB9 Hey, it’s only one bottle of wine :) Bear in mind I have the body weight of a small elephant :)
@Jorence Hey, things happen. It wasn’t much of a bump. And it’s led me in interesting directions.
@Jorence Thing is, since a car crash a couple of years ago, I get day-long hangover-style headaches *anyway*. Might as well drink!
@Jorence Come to think of it, last time might have been the bottle of Cava I downed after my last completed NaNoWriMo :)
@Jorence There’s no guarantee I won’t be. It’s been several years since I’ve downed a proper full-size bottle of the stuff. We’ll see.
Towards the end of a bottle of wine. And newly-ripped _Machine Gun Etiquette_ playing. Nice. *sings* “Just for you, here’s a love song…”
@hayles Given that I’m geeky yet polite, I’d probably have a generic TextExpander snippet that said “thanks, but no thanks”…
@BlackDogDays Nonsense. And I like the new pic. You look happy, in an only-slightly-crazy way. :)
@BlackDogDays Have you been looking in a mirror too long? Everything looks strange after a while…
@asic69 No? The man’s a massive techno-geek…
Thought of something else I’d like to use the Mechanical Turk for. Which would be good if I were American. Sadly nobody else gets to use it.
@matthew_roach Looked like it. Will ask tomorrow when I’m not in a hurry. I already want one, whatever it is :)
@ahnlak Adobe is my limit. The Apple updates at least generally do the update right, even if you don’t like the results!
@bob_dave That sounds entirely odd.
…you know: “Have you got any equipment for processing meth?” “No, of course not! But, erm, we do have this ‘coffee syphon’” *wink* *wink*
George has an odd box for something called a “coffee siphon” on counter in Baristas today. Looks like one of those “wink wink” products…
@Jorence Mornin’!
@BradleyLaw Yeah, figured that out. Glad I checked this evening rather than once I’d started the walk to work tomorrow. Disconcerting!
Anyway. Right. Bedtime. Again.
@imacstu Upgrade looked like it’d gone fine, but I had to sync twice before the iPhone could actually see any of my music/podcasts, etc.
Grr. Synced one more time and it’s all back. From nothing to 8GB of music in thirty seconds. Guess it just couldn’t find it for some reason.
@BradleyLaw Update went fine, I idly checked the iPod app — nothing there at all. Trying to figure out whether it’s lying or not.
Erm. Anyone who’s installed iOS 4.2 might want to make sure there is ANY AUDIO CONTENT AT ALL left on their iPhone before leaving the house.
@ahnlak My guess would be that you preferred Cake because it cunningly includes “cake’ in its name.
@jacrats *too, even. I blame the headache.
@jacrats Ah, you to, huh? *sympathy*
Of course, if I do go to bed now, my Dad’s pretty much guaranteed to ring.
Bleh. Headache. Been with me all day, now getting worse. Maybe I’ll go to bed. #rockandroll
@ahnlak My intention is to play with both. Last time I did, CI was a better fit with my brain than Cake, though.
Playing with jQuery and CodeIgniter. *fiddle* *poke*
@ArtistStudios Self-hosted WordPress? Tried the Bad Behavior plugin? Might help.
@ArtistStudios Gawd, yes. Mostly from dodgy SEO sales morons.
@penelopeelse Amen.
@hayles What, one-day delivery from America? Seems fairly unlikely, sadly.
@m1ke_ellis I’d take a stab at “decimally-labelled hierarchical list”
@zinziii Oooh, good call!
@twittl3s No. “Not enough time” is possible. “Too much chocolate cake” is not.
@treblechamp Awesome :) Thanks for passing that on!
@thomasvenables You’re not Alpen.
@rbrwr Knew I shouldn’t have bought this iPhone from Swiss Tony. Been suspicious since he told me to hold upside down and shake to reboot.
“been”, not “Bern”. Why did it autocorrect to *that*? Who’s “Bern” and why am I more likely to be naming him than using the verb “to be”?
Just Bern on such an unusual clothes-shopping splurge that I’m quite surprised the card company didn’t panic and phone me up.
@Jorence I didn’t have the time to make it shorter!
@Jorence Presumably you saw my Stupidly Long Kindle 3 Review[tm]? http://bit.ly/cHqRnf
*giggle* http://bit.ly/9U7qnu <— s’true, that.
@Jorence Either way, beware of awful book conversions. There are plenty of them about for either platform :(
@vbritish Hmm. But if you do that, have breakfast first, because Ibuprofen messes with your stomach lining. #alwaysreadthelabel
Handy: from my place, one-and-a-bit times round the Harbourside to Caffe Gusto is exactly 5K. #getrunning #coffee #almondcroissant
@Jorence That would explain why you’re so much quicker than me. I find the bullion does weigh me down some :)
@Jorence Nice! Don’t forget to stretch lots :) Am off for a simple once-round-the-harbour myself!
@DrHairbear Just a shame it wasn’t introduced by the last Pope; think of the potential for “rubber johnny” jokes…
The Vatican needs to get the merchandising sorted now. The Holy Infallible Condom is a brand just waiting to happen.
@RellyAB Wow. Your hob must be *tiny*.
@rbrwr Good man!
Ahh, The Damned’s _Born to Kill_. Great track. Everyone should listen to punk instead of watching X Factor.
I just dropped a book about overeating while reaching for some chocolate. It’s possible I’m being a tad contradictory here.
Second attempt at rendering an Instant Movie in Premier Elements. Second crash. Piece of #Adobe crap.
@tsunimee Je croix que tu as raison, babes.
@ahnlak @tsunimee Everything I know about the French accent I learned from the masters: Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Gorden Kaye.
