@yGns Yup. But either you have to add me as a friend (“gothick”) or DM me your email address :)

@tsunimee It would be a perfect relationship if only I could train it to clean the bath.

Gawd, that looks awesome. I’m hungry again now.

thomasvenables @gothick “C’mon Tim!” not heard that in a while

Definitely rooting for Tim now.

@danfairs Yes, well you wouldn’t expect a phone company to know how to use a telephone, would you?

@ahnlak @bexxi That was the legitimatest instance of hyperbole the world has ever known!

@guriben Hah! Would’ve been a much better bet than the standard leather one I had, that crashed my Kindle regularly. And about 100x cheaper!

I just got an extra free copy of Portal (the original) by pre-buying Portal 2. Any Steam-using followers want me to send them the spare?

RT @hayles: @gothick youtube.com/watch?v=bf9d7r… <— Yup, that’s pretty much me at bathtime :)

via Echofon

@guriben Hah. No, there’s just me, my blog, and my seven readers :)

@tsunimee One thing you could try is tuning it. Go here (with IE), follow steps, & see if notepad looks better after: http://bit.ly/ftyQvn

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Shame. Shouldn’t make things that fuzzy, but it depends on the monitor.

@boagworld Hey, half a tub is progress, right? Well, it would be for me.

My favourite part of writing that case review was taking this photo, by the way. I love my duck. http://twitpic.com/4kg2l6

@isaiah “What does that mean?” “I don’t know, but it’s great!”

via Echofon in reply to isaiah

@rabidbee @Dichohecho @rbrwr @xabl If I did anything like that, I would inevitably get it wrong and say something very private out loud.

@KaveyF …but I can’t remember which, and it was again an “only in desperate straits” recommendation.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF I’d generally drink tea if only instant coffee was available. @marcoarment recommended one of the Starbucks ones in recent podcast.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Kavey

@tsunimee I *wondered* why they fitted that. It didn’t seem very likely that a fire would break out in the shower.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee @ahnlak Thank you, darling. I’m just worried about this photographer you sent round.

Bloggity bloggity: review of the waterproof case I just bought: bit.ly/ewFIKQ

via Twitter for iPhone

@KaveyF @ahnlak What’s that? Sorry, I can’t hear you over this HUGE MONITOR.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak In that case, get 24’ flatscreens instead of 24”. Then @KaveyF will have to learn to pole-vault before she kills you.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Clearly, if not, this is a good justification for buying matching twin monitors next time :)

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Don’t know! I’ve never had more than one monitor on a PC.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Being an old Acorn fanboy, I grew up with antialiased fonts in the 1980s :) Windows was a surprising backwards step…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @tsunimee There’s also a ClearType tuning tool thingy you can download to tailor it to your monitor/eyes.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

@penelopeelse It may just be that a top margin is a bit smaller in Safari for some (valid) reason, but clearing is the “right” fix, I think.

via Twitter for iPhone

@penelopeelse Yeah, I from what I remember from looking a clear: left/both on the main content div should do it…

via Twitter for iPhone

@tsunimee …my entire office uses Win XP and IE6, with ClearType turned off, and hardly anyone apart from me bothers turning it on.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee I really don’t know! You and me are more sensitive to font smoothing than most people, though…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee It’s turned on by default in Vista and Win 7. Back when XP came out hardly anyone had an LCD monitor so it didn’t matter so much!

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Okay, but we’ll have to do that later; I’m at work at the mo :)

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee *giggle* Yeah, that’s probably cause a problem.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee They probably end up in the same place. Desktop right click -> Properties is same as Control Panel -> Display.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Strange. Just tried it in Windows (turning it on in Control Panel) and seems to work for me. Bah. http://twitpic.com/4k9aip
