@AlasdairStuart Thus giving the Broken Arrow writers something to steal to give Travolta his one good line in an otherwise dire film :)

Red October. Film 4. Any minute now.

@rabidbee @rbrwr @matthew_roach Seem to remember one guy being caught after a familial match found with sister’s DNA, anyway…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to rabidbee

@Jorence Sounds good to me :)

via Echofon

@matthew_roach @rbrwr Of course, still not clear whether the police really want to do it. Hope not, as it’d indicate they’re out of ideas :(

via Echofon in reply to matthew_roach

@rbrwr @matthew_roach I notice that the article doesn’t actually mention whether the police actually have any DNA they want to compare. Odd.

@ahnlak @Lillput I’m being pinged by multiple targets!

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@Jorence Well, he does have a lovely voice. But no, fair enough, I think I’d happily defer to @JessicaRuth84 on that front.

via Echofon

There was an old Shoviet from Leith
Who wanted to run from the Easht
He took Red October
He handed her over
Now he’sh in Kansas, how shweet!

via Echofon

@Jorence Sharing? Now, let’s not agree to anything rash, eh, @JessicaRuth84…

via Echofon

Och, yesh. The Hunt for Red October is on Film 4 tonight. Great film. Great accent. “Perishcope depth, Vashilly!”

via Echofon

Snap from the walk home from today’s jog. http://twitpic.com/3oitn9

@ahnlak I’m always surprised with G’Kar turns up to be the bad guy at the end of _The Fugitive_.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

Watching Star Trek:TNG. Just realised that the telepath in this episode was also Mayor Wilkins in Buffy :)

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays Sorry. Too late. You need to be faster than that to share cheesecake with me.

via Echofon

CHEESECAKE. That is all.

via Echofon

Heh. This email would be more impressive if I didn’t know it was just because I took last month off :) http://twitpic.com/3oi29p

via Echofon

@KaveyF Did you check down the back of the @ahnlak?

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF I’m guessing it’s spam from people whose profile picture is the “new user” egg…

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

First 5K of the year run, though :)

via Twitter for iPhone

Haven’t used @Runkeeper for a couple of weeks. Today it won’t send my activity and skipped my “every 1km” audio cues. Did I miss something?

via Twitter for iPhone

@Jorence Well, at least it’s reliable.

via Echofon

@Jorence I mostly rely on CMSes. But learning PHP has helped me battle them into submission rather more effectively :)

via Echofon

@Jorence You haven’t seen the code. Still, that’s what learning’s all about.

via Echofon

@Jorence The project I created to learn PHP when I was just starting out in web programming. http://uniquesentence.com

via Echofon

Speaking of which, I must also get on with my long-awaited rebuilding of Unique Sentence.

via Echofon

@Jorence That’s probably a unique sentence.

via Echofon

Okay. Think I’ll get changed and head out for my first run of the year.

via Echofon

@johnfbraun @Phooto I’ve not really noticed that. Mind you, I’ve got 8GB in this iMac, so maybe that’s not so surprising.

via Echofon in reply to johnfbraun

@sean_robbins But as a resident of Clifton Village South’s Gorgeside district, I probably shouldn’t comment.

via Echofon in reply to sean_robbins

@sean_robbins Indeed; it was a conversation on here about the West End that prompted this: http://bit.ly/e7aqpN :)

via Echofon in reply to sean_robbins

@Dru_Marland @Bristol_Culture And presumably I’m not in ‘otwells, I’m in Cliftonwood West.

via Echofon in reply to Dru_Marland

@Phooto Cool. Personally, this week I appear to have secular eggs, from the Barrington Park estate. Looking forward to trying them later :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

B247Martin Is Bristol’s West End an artificial geographical construct invented by marketing men or something better than that? http://bit.ly/e7aqpN

via Twitter Web Client (retweeted on 12:54 PM, Jan 9th, 2011 via Echofon)

@Phooto Hmm. The Italian version. “Eggs Benedictine”?

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@rabidbee @Bristol_flickL @Thehappyfatgirl You need to be in constant training to walk around bloody Bristol :)

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@goatgirl74 It’s presumably easier to clone things that only have one helix.

via Echofon in reply to YvetteMorey

@Bristol_Culture Ah, cool, thanks for looking into it!

via Echofon in reply to B247Martin

@goatgirl74 Can’t get away from the bloody man, either.

via Echofon in reply to YvetteMorey

@nickbrompton Which is why I’m quelling my dissent early. Not having mine joining those Hirsuteness Against Imperial Repression buggers.

via Echofon in reply to bathsaints

Loving @TTApress’s bold two-page spread design on this story.

Trimming my beard before it achieves sentience and declares independence.

via Echofon

(well, new to me, anyway…)

via Echofon

Ooooh. New video of Danny MacAskill. http://www.youtube.com/w…

via Echofon

@Thehappyfatgirl Worth keeping an eye on the Bristol Flickr Group discussions — @MGBS4 organises interesting group walks.

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@Thehappyfatgirl I’m lazy; if I want to photo-walk I normally just go around the harbourside.

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

RT @Thehappyfatgirl: @gothick do u know of any good photography trails in Brizzle, Matt? <— Anyone?

via Echofon

@Jorence @twittl3s Wow! It’s like a woollen Test Card.

via Echofon

@Jorence @twittl3s You have a Christmas jumper? In that case, may I recommend Crumpler’s new “Doonican” laptop bag?

via Echofon

@Phooto …in fact, I fixed a mildly annoying bug in it once. If that made it into the webkit code, maybe I helped improve Safari :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto No, but Linux users have other choices. I used the webkit-based Konqueror long before I used Safari.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto That’s pretty much what I’ve got at home on the Mac, plus Virtual Box and IETester for IE.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Luckily, having technically been a web developer at some point in my job, I was allowed to install it…

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Heck, I have to use _IE6_ at work for some of our systems. It’s still the standard desktop. But I use Firefox for everything else.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto I prefer Firefox on Windows, Sarari on the Mac. Maybe I just don’t like aesthetic clashes :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

Loving the fact that if I accidentally close a tab in Safari, cmd-Z actually works to undo it and brings the tab back.

via Echofon

@StephenGatbjs On the other hand, it’s probably worth it for the jokes. http://bit.ly/evm0gu

via Echofon in reply to LordHyperbole

@KaveyF So, I got it perfectly right, then ;)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Listening to NPR. “Talk of the Nation Science Friday” is fab. While I love @BBCRadio4, I’d rather not be depressed by the Archers today!

via Echofon

@KaveyF Heh. That’s what Simon said. And the rotation is one of the reasons I like it :D

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Doing one final batch of late photo processing before I head for bed. I quite like this one: http://flic.kr/p/98Ew9q
