Paul_Cornell ‘The State of the Art’, my Iain Banks adaptation for BBC Radio 4 can be heard here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/h… Yes, even abroad! #fb
@Mouse_House I did wonder. Saw a few vans coming in as I started my jog at about half seven…
And it goes, boom-boody-boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom-boom-boom… http://twitpic.com/4rkups
@benjohnbarnes Well, that’s particularly irritating.
@benjohnbarnes D’oh.
@benjohnbarnes Was the problem definitely today? Apple had gyp with iTunes store for a while last week; nobody could buy anything.
@benjohnbarnes Looks fine in the UK store. http://twitpic.com/4rks2p
@stillawake Ah. That’ll be the pre-club getting ready. Yes, I have had Those Neighbours.
@BlackDogDays OMG! It has an introduction by Israel Regardie! I *must have it*! http://twitpic.com/4rjvsu
@tsunimee Heh. Okay, I’ll just sit here and watch you collapse in a pile of confused tweets :)
@tsunimee This is my normal one! http://www.flickr.com/ph…
@tsunimee It’s only for when I’m jogging.
My GPS watch just got to 25% success in tracking satellites. I’m still indoors. *ducks* *looks up at ceiling, nervously*.
@BlackDogDays He seemed to be asking quite a lot of people to sign him. It was odd.
Haven’t worn a watch this big since the 1980s. And *that* one turned into a spaceship. http://twitpic.com/4rjpuf
(Thanks to @Jorence for the link to @pummelvision, by the way :) )
To celebrate my 300th @dailybooth, I just @pummelvision‘d all my daily photos so far :) http://vimeo.com/23084528
@BlackDogDays I went out very much with a mind to buy none at all. And bought one. Oh well…
“Go build a cabinet!” #drwho
OooooH! Doctor Who! Nearly forgot.
@AndyCarolan @Phooto You have no idea how hard it is… not to do jokes about “touch sensitivity” at this point.
New Flickr photo: “Caption Competition”. http://flic.kr/p/9DfHED <— One of the stranger sights in today’s harbourside market.
@fdr106 Yes, yes they are.
@Jorence I’m going to superglue it to my forehead so I have to headbutt the finish line :)
@Jorence Fab! Ta.
@BristolBites More likely to be one of the bigger boats with an open deck. But they’re pretty cool, too.
@BristolBites :D Emily is one of my favourite Bristol Ferry Co. boats. http://www.flickr.com/ph…
@tsunimee Smashing Mag and Web Designer Depot often do articles with links to sets, e.g. http://bit.ly/l8dvr9 http://bit.ly/l8dvr9

@BlackDogDays If you change your mind, we are very bairn- and buffoon-friendly.
@BlackDogDays We’re in t’Watershed if you fancy a drink.
@Jorence @Nose_in_a_book Watershed it is. Very nearly there. Though slightly distracted by chocolate stall.
Wondering if the guy wearing the Union Jack t-shirt in Millennium Square knows the wedding was yesterday?
@Nose_in_a_book No plans yet. I normally default to Watershed. Any food place ideas, @Jorence?
@OpinionatedGeek Ah, duplicate GUIDs, one of the more oddly philosophical ailments of the modern geek.
@andybeebristol I’m more likely to rig it to shock my heart back out of vfib at the top of Bridge Valley Road!
@mikeotaylor Probably not. But I figured heart rate monitor was worth trying, plus iPhone battery only barely gets through a half marathon!
Might wander down to this harbourside markety thing and get some lunch… @BlackDogDays @Jorence @Nose_in_a_book
@MediaBen No. Oh, how awful. Sorry to hear that.
@stillawake @pearcafe Once ordered a decaf, to have the waitress call over her shoulder, “One coffee! Hold the point!”
@Jorence Oooh! It can see my heartbeat. Magic.
@andybeebristol …what I need to do to make myself run faster has very little to do with running and everything to do with eating less :(
@andybeebristol The heart rate monitor bit is meant to help with speed training. But I’m guessing, overall, no…
@Jorence That’s one of the reasons I bought it! Main one is the heart rate monitor, though. Lots of people tell me that’s handy.
New toy! http://flic.kr/p/9DbKXv
@Thehappyfatgirl It really shouldn’t have been this bad today. Just had insomnia last night for some reason :(
@hayles Morning, cheerful!
@Thehappyfatgirl (a) Lots to do (b) trying to get myself back in sync for Tuesday, otherwise it’s going to be a hell of a struggle!
@Thehappyfatgirl I’m bloody awful at getting *me* out of bed, let alone other people. I just had my shower. My alarm was set for 7AM.
@MediaBen A health and safety inspection, a fireman, or a multi-socket extension?
Woohoo! Parcel. From the most chipper City Link driver I’ve ever met. Nice! #citylink #cheerslove
@manikpixi I’m not too sure about the coke. But yeah, coffee in the afternoon or evening often is not good for my sleep.
Although, look! Got one cool bit of post already today. #bristol #10K http://twitpic.com/4rdg8w
Fairly sure that if I step into the shower, the delivery van I’m waiting for will turn up.
@manikpixi I’m surprised you sleep at all!
Incidentally, the Square of Matt is still going, though I still haven’t done anything to make it prettier yet. http://bit.ly/mbBk6h
@Kanga_Rue Let’s face it, though, it could’ve been worse. I’ve managed to drink the watercolour water instead of the tea before.
@Kanga_Rue HA!
@manikpixi Ah! Yes, it’s only just coming up to 11AM over here… I drink coke at work, but at home it’s coffee or green tea :)
@manikpixi Mmm, normally the coffee is an attempt to cure the grumpiness. Speaking of which… *bounces off to grinder*
Wow. Just hit 300 snaps on @dailybooth. And only 290 of them are me looking grumpy with a coffee in my hand. http://dailybooth.com/go…
@andybeebristol Good move.
@Jorence I’m very creature-of-habit, though. Portway, towpath, longer runs in Leigh Woods or around the Downs. Need to get to Ashton Court!
@Jorence http://bit.ly/lDQ0FO (Though first time it might help to have one of the Leigh Woods maps with you if you don’t know the woods!)
@Jorence It’s fab to be able to do. Gives you access to a lot more cool routes. Try towpath -> Leigh Woods -> Suspension Bridge next! :)
@Jorence Oooh! Well done! #nostalgia I remember my first time… I failed dismally!
Really? Because that seems like quite an odd “route” to take to get to Bristol. #citylink http://twitpic.com/4rcttk
Enjoying listening to @markthomasinfo talking about his “extreme rambling” of the West Bank wall on Radio 4.
My weight: 17:6.4 stlb. 0:6.4 stlb to go. Weighin’ in. http://withings.com
@rabidbee I shall have to give ‘em a try. Nearly bought some anchovy sauce, too, having tried Graze’s steak with it. Was awesome.
Anyway. Time for beddie-byes, methinks.
@rabidbee I was surprised they were open. But they were, and the lamb looked pretty awesome. Must cook tomorrow!
Hmm. I think I’ve become overly attached to a particular Buddhism teacher. It’s not meant to work like that…
@rabidbee Whereas I supported my local butcher today, but I’ll only find out if it was a good buying decision tomorrow…
@Nose_in_a_book Will do.
@Nose_in_a_book Oooh. Might be a nice change to head that way for lunch…
@tsunimee Wouldn’t we all, dear.
@Crackerwax Jesus, don’t get him started. He’s bad enough when he’s on about the darts. (Seriously!)
Have just made something vaguely close to a Greek salad. Off to newly cleared backyard to enjoy it :)
Gah. Dammit. Really, really tempted by a 600D. But it’s probably not what I should be spending my money on.
TaraBusch Nothing prepared me for this. http://twitpic.com/4r26jm
@jbrownridge I know the feeling. Keep glancing at the 600D and getting tempted. I mean, it’s *200* better than my 400D. That’s a lot!
@andybeebristol I don’t know what you mean.
@Jorence So, that resisting didn’t last long, then?
@Jorence That’d take a fair bit of washing down…
A happy spit-roaster from Clifton Village. http://flic.kr/p/9D1Lhm
@tsunimee You’d probably recognise it if you heard it. Used as background music on everything even vaguely patriotic.
@tsunimee It’s Britain’s “most patriotic anthem”. http://bit.ly/lyMncG. Last Proms’ probably a good version: http://bit.ly/lYCfbf (YouTube)
Gah. Three photos and I’m not sure which one or two of them to put up on Flickr. #indecisive
@andybeebristol I really am bad at paying attention to shops. But you’d think somewhere with caffeine would’ve set my radar off before now!
Hang on. There’s a new café in Clifton Village and nobody told me?! http://twitpic.com/4qyaif
@hayles Imagine it’s some old law about making copies of official registers. @bertpalmer might know?
@hayles …when I did a wedding, the registrar basically said not to take any obvious direct photos of register, and had fake one for pics.
@hayles No, you’re not permitted to photograph the register. Pretty sure it doesn’t invalidate the marriage, though! ;)
@MitchBenn Nice deadpan, fella.
@hayles @BlackDogDays But thank you for drawing my attention to the lemon cheesecake. May have to get some takeout…
@hayles @BlackDogDays No, @gothick IS NOT DOING DELIVERIES. #hmph
Just posted a photo @ Boston Tea Party, Clifton http://instagr.am/p/DqiV…
What, only seven flags out? You’re letting your side down, _Royal_ York Crescent. #bristol
@rabidbee Too late. _Bollocks_ really is awesome, though. And I got a pretty good iTunes Genius playlist from _Anarchy_. :)
@jazzabellediary @hayles Yes, that must be *exactly* the reason I don’t remember it, too. Too young.
@jazzabellediary No, still yet to brave the West End. What was White Van Man like? Missed it completely…
@jazzabellediary @hayles Yes, the fact it’s _her_ plus the reviews are the first thing that’s made me want to see musicals in years…
Nearly lunchtime. Think I might wander out for a nice walk up to Clifton Village.
jonWturney Police in Bristol prepared in case residents unable to contain their wedding excitement http://flic.kr/p/9CW9o2 #stokescroft HT @MrHulaHoop
@hayles @jazzabellediary Sadly, I’m not enjoying it so much these days. But I’m still watching in hope new cast find their feet.
@hayles Ha! I thought I was the only person still watching that.
@hayles That’s _another_ Hail Mary_ for *you*, young lady.
@hayles A nun whispered it to me.
@hayles Well, to be fair, you probably have.
@caitlinmoran …and I have a name for my new band.
MaxTundra If you’ve seen one royal wedding, you’ve seen The Mall.
@jennycolgan That’s a euphemism, right?
@Jorence MY CIDER IS LIKE TWO SHIELDS OF STEEL. (“Two shields?” “Well, I’m seeing two of everything…”)
One good thing: today has reminded me that I don’t actually own a copy of _Never Mind the Bollocks…_ Hello, Amazon mp3 store.
@Jorence Heh. Luckily, I don’t need Crabbies to be insensate when I’ve just woken up. Morning!
Aiannucci Huge crowds already gathering in London for next Thursday’s referendum.
Right. Music. Neeeeeeeed music.
@BlackDogDays If there’s one thing I’d want to see less of than the Royal Wedding on a day off, it’s a spreadsheet :)
@VeraR2010 :)
@benjohnbarnes I’m putting that on Unique Sentence right now.
@VeraR2010 @benjohnbarnes That’s a very personal question!
@BlackDogDays I shall mostly be doing web design and catching up on email.
tiffstevenson I wonder if the royal family have mugs with pictures of normal people on them?
Using the #WordPress Twenty Ten theme? Want a free flower-themed header image? I now have three to choose from: http://bit.ly/koqONd
I think this one might be my favourite. http://flic.kr/p/9CCAT8
@tsunimee Pleasure, sweetie! x
Off out for a run while there’s still some light… Catch you all in a bit!
Some photos of dandelions on the Downs this afternoon :) http://bit.ly/lCXA15 @tsunimee
pearcafe Emergency! Has anyone got the @PeytonandByrne book to hand?!
@Narshada :)
@Narshada Mmmm. Comfy office chairs are a great investment!
@JustinOwen No, that’ll be the bill.
@michelledh Surely everyone will be glued to the TV!?
@michelledh Will the shops be open?
@ParkBen Huh? Oh, it tweeted? Sorry, must’ve set that up the last time. No idea; I’ve never used Qik or Ustream.
@BlackDogDays I don’t know! Don’t remember seeing a door to one, but like I said, not been in there too often…
New law: Sony UK execs must watch an unskippable 2-minute video clip about the Data Protection Act every time they launch an application.
@BlackDogDays Only been a few times myself, but yes, I’d say so. Friendly, nice atmos.
@BlackDogDays I actually walk past it most days; I’m very close to the Adam & Eve…
@matthew_roach *applause*
Hrm. Having unusual toothy problems. Damn it, hope I’m not going to break my unblemished dental record. *phones dentist*.
@hayles Last time I went in, there were a few dusty Howies things at the back, and they seemed surprised to be asked about them.
@BlackDogDays Oh! Okay, now I’ve looked at a map, I do know where it is, of course. Hrm.
@BlackDogDays Um. I don’t even know where North Green Street is. Or that it was having a party… #bristolconfessions
@Narshada Have you been kissing any recently-painted walls?
You know, it’s just possible that I am procrastinating. *looks for paperclips to file into size order*
@csoanes “A flux capacitor, two tap washers, and Lord Lucan, please.” “What size washers, sir?”
(That last retweet might interest @hayles! #royalweddingtat)
codepo8 Beaver priest ftw twitpic.com/4qi1zw
@JonathanDeamer @jonhickman I’m guessing whoever thought of that one was wordsturbating.
Where would I be without you, Clifton Hardware, and you amazing ability to stock *absolutely everything* in your tiny shop? #spacewarp
@talkie_tim @hayles No, no, I was actually crying. http://tweetnest.gothick…
@hayles Is that *news*?
Clock-watching @ Downs, Clifton Village http://instagr.am/p/DoZc…
@hayles *cries*
Goodness, this morning has been exceptionally dull. Bank account wrangling. #yawn. Think I may devote rest of day to web design.
@SpikyZebra Are you sure? Did you double-check the airing cupboard?
@SpikyZebra You can normally find out here a few hours afterwards: http://www.westerncounti…
@tweeny4 Ooh! Happy birthday! #justintime
@meemalee Skip the first twenty minutes. It gets good once the cooking starts.
@lahlootea @cliftonmia …but then I’ve always had a bit of a thing for insane people :)
@lahlootea @cliftonmia Tim. Been thinking so for weeks.
@lahlootea Just what I was wondering.
Right. Masterchef. #comeontim
Bah. Am tired. Even after a ton of days off in a row. Think I’ll head for bed straight after Masterchef, try to be ready to work tomorrow.
@BlackDogDays Ooopsie. Always more fearful as a pedestrian than a driver there…
@GreedyRosie Hmmm… Light, expensive, not behind the counter. Hmm. Postal tube full of saffron?
@johnfbraun I love the way military scammers always think so big :)
While queueing in Costcutter/Post Office earlier, thought: has anyone ever shoplifted by wrapping goods & posting to se#cunningplanplan
@Dru_Marland Hah! When I opened the next one along, my cursor added a monocle! Posh fox! http://twitpic.com/4q5c40
@adamficek Yeah, but have you got a fiver?
(Also, they make my favourite truffles EVAH so they can do no wrong.)
Ah, Charbonnel et Walker bring out the Royal Wedding chocs. http://bit.ly/hnclBv To be fair, having a Royal Warrant is a reasonable reason.
Well, that’s a mini-full of scrap taken to the tip. *mops brow* *pants*
This afternoon, I have mostly been breaking long planks in half using sokuto fumikomi technique. Years of practice finally become practical!
@ParkBen That was my impression, too. Maybe they use iframes so they can update the embed code automatically without you having to.
@ParkBen Cool. I wonder why everywhere’s iframing by default?
@nyssapod Pleasure!
Tweeting from the bath ;) #kintweet
@ParkBen I don’t watch a lot of video!
@ParkBen Ahahahaha! Love the low-gravity bit, too :)
@ParkBen Where’s that?
@ParkBen I believe so, yes. Such is the transient nature of so many things on the internet…
nyssapod My sister Hannah’s giving up the internet & tv & texting for a month! For Crohn’s & Colitis UK http://www.justgiving.co…
@nyssapod A month? I’d be a wreck within a day.
@ParkBen …turns a [shortcode] into the perfectly normal YouTube/whatever embed code, I think. So it should work _as_ well as that does.
@ParkBen I can’t see why it wouldn’t work with mobile. It’s basically just code that
@ParkBen Strikes me I should have re-read the manual on embedding every time WordPress did a release. I never knew any of this stuff!
@ParkBen Also, for size with the built-in embed, try this: http://twitpic.com/4q2e2z
@ParkBen If you’re mostly embedding video, I really would recommend http://www.viper007bond….
@ParkBen …turns straight into a video! I never knew that! http://twitpic.com/4q2bdm
@ParkBen Although! Check this out, just the raw URL, pasted into the visual editor (no link): http://twitpic.com/4q2b86
@ParkBen No. It doesn’t help that I’m running WordPress Multisite and different sites have different plugins enabled. #confused.com
