Oooooohyum. Drooling gently while reading @KaveyF’s description of Paul Young’s Simnel Brownie: http://bit.ly/hQTry4

@tsunimee @ahnlak’s envoodooing you. Be careful, or you’ll have been voodone.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Hrm. Bewitched is pretty much there already. But, erm, enchanted, entranced, & enthralled can all have magical connotations.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Makes sense. Similar connotations in English, with “witch” in “bewitched”; it’s literally, “under the spell of a witch”.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Hmm. My computer translates it as “bewitched” (as in, under a spell.) Is it a bit like enchantée in French?

@chocolatereview Hershey’s? Is that the one that doesn’t really taste of anything?

Does anyone else really like that Corsodyl ad?

@hayles I’m on my Mac at the moment, so I’m going to have to play “guess the emoji”. Is it the one that looks aghast at the British public?

Don’t forget, for all your other Royal Wedding Tat needs, see @hayles at http://royalweddingtat.p…

via Echofon

(Okay, technically that wasn’t Royal Wedding Tat in itself, but I think the _story_ was…)

RT @Dichohecho Oh my Jesus. First the thing in the river in Bridgwater, now this LDN.in/vXwKxk I’m disowning Somerset

via Echofon

@rabidbee Careful. It’s a printer. It’s probably just lulling you into a false sense of security before it pounces.

Having used it all day, I declare @tapbots’ Tweetbot (note the small “b”) to be my new default Twitter iPhone app. http://bit.ly/fVuO0V

@hayles I’d seen the (lovely) design, but I might not have typed into it, which drew attention to the fontiness ;)

How my typical telephone conversations start: Me: “Hi, <other person>’s phone, Matt Gibson speaking?” Caller: “Hi. Is that <other person>?”

via Tweetbot for iOS

@hayles I’m posting a comment on your blog, but I’ve been distracted by the gorgeousness of the font/colour in the comment box! :)

@bestform It is nice, isn’t it? Must be cursing themselves for not having it ready in time for the debacle!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to bestform

@pjakobs Can it go direct to Graphviz/dotty and generate them automatically? ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pjakobs

@pjakobs I didn’t even know emacs had org-mode! Cool. Are they speaking incompatible dialects (of OPML, maybe?)?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pjakobs

@pjakobs I wouldn’t call them friends, exactly, but they’re close acquaintances of mine.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pjakobs

Heh. “Specially selected altitudes” == “upstairs”. http://twitpic.com/4kniko

@jukesie In the first meeting, can you voluntarily add grumpiness and coughing? Might help the next time they’re considering an invite ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to jukesie

@hayles Oh, and good luck, by the way :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

@hayles Bwa-ha-ha. Their mistake was trusting me and Apple for long enough to but a phone in the first place.

johngirvin Morning. I dreamt about wild, rampant socks last night. I think my subconcious might be hard of hearing.

@hayles I have an image of rows of desks with terrified-looking staff, all with ear-defenders on to muffle the constant klaxons.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

Oh, okay, so you were lying about the security code being wrong, and it *is* that you’ve put a block on my card. Because I, er, used it.

via Echofon

No. Do NOT try to sell me a credit card to try to solve the problem I am having with your debit card. Arseholes.

via Echofon

Great. Now on hold. COME ON STUPID BANK.

via Echofon

@MediaBen I’m jus trying to buy an app. You’d have thought that after the first 50 or so, they’d have worked out I do this quite often.

via Echofon in reply to benhorsleyco

…my bank’s credit card security people must be the only folk in the world who get surprised about me buying stuff from Apple.

via Echofon

Although I can’t buy it anyway, as my bank are declining payment. Probably the useless bloody fraud prevention kicking in…

via Echofon

…although I notice that as well as @tapbots’ “Tweetbot”, there’s also an iPhone app called “TweetBot” that *isn’t* the one I want.

via Echofon

Tweetbot sounds interesting… http://bit.ly/hHimf2

@hayles I just went back to bed for half an hour and I’m still feeling like that. Sucky mornings.
