@robinince Only having read the Telegraph article that Wikipedia links to, which bit(s) of that aren’t true?

@BlackDogDays Not the sort of thing you see around here every day.

@JohannaTC We may never know. Unless it was something particularly nasty, in which case I’d probably prefer blissful ignorance.

@BlackDogDays “What, there’s frogmen now? And another two helicopters? And a SWAT team? And Harrison Ford!?”

@BlackDogDays This is the point at which you can start making stuff up and see how far you get before we stop believing you.

@BlackDogDays Sniffer dogs? What on earth is going on?

@Swishrelic I do actually have Opera installed on the Mac for web testing, but I never saw any big advantage over what I use at the mo.

via Echofon in reply to Swishrelic

@Swishrelic I only use the web a couple of times a week on the mobile…

@BlackDogDays This is why I’ll never be a decent investigative reporter.

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays I should probably nip outside with the camera in case anything interesting is happening. But I have half an avocado left.

@JohannaTC Informed sources tell me it’s spotlighting Hotwell Road.

via Echofon in reply to JohannaTC

Always a little disconcerting when the police helicopter buzzes your house for this long. Should I got out with my hands up?

@danfairs Who knows? Maybe I’ll find my first Oracle UI that doesn’t make me want to repeatedly slam my head in the door of a line printer.

via Echofon in reply to danfairs

@LegalWeasel (though I have my suspicion that’s related to the Java logo rather than the Oracle logo.)

via Echofon in reply to LegalWeasel

@LegalWeasel The first thing (literally) I tried to do with it — move its window — revealed a non-standard and annoying interface. Woo!

via Echofon in reply to LegalWeasel

Is it prejudiced of me to immediately be put off NetBeans because it’s got the Oracle logo on it?

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays You do know it’s Thursday now, right?

via Echofon

…and then probably never even figure out what new features it has.

via Echofon

Okay, I changed my mind. Firebug works, so I shall throw Firefox 4 onto all my machines with abandon.

via Echofon

@richardjfoster Good to know. Will probably throw it on the laptop and see how it goes.

@BlackDogDays Great. Now I have to wait till tomorrow to find out whether brazil nuts increase brain power or just induce delusions.

@floyduk @richardjfoster I like Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Haven’t really settled on a “winner”. Each has things I prefer over others.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to floyduk

@floyduk I shall wait another few weeks. Two Firefoxes on one box can be annoying, and the plugin writers probably won’t be done upgrading.

via Echofon in reply to floyduk

@getrunningapp May not need much help, but you’ll be handy to have around if I get stuck algorithmically. Can do the Gmap tile stuff okay :)

via Echofon in reply to getrunningapp

@getrunningapp Hah! I’ll swap you for some help I’m going to need projecting the day/night terminator onto a Google map…

via Echofon in reply to getrunningapp

How *do* my glasses get this filthy? Am I even typing this into a twitter client? All I can see is some smeary things that might be letters.

via Echofon

@ahnlak Still haven’t heard from them. Maybe they just lost *your* account :)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Well, that’s not so bad. My name and email address are all over the web already…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak What? They haven’t mailed me. Erm. Yet. What got nicked?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

My morning ferry ride is perfect for catching up on @instapaper.
