Right. Movie time. And then, hopefully, bed. See you in the morning, all!

@archidave @Swishrelic I mean, there’s (don’t be scared) a few prog rock concept albums in my collection, for example :D

via Echofon in reply to archidave

@archidave @Swishrelic I will if I’ve decided to listen to a single album. And there are some albums I won’t shuffle. Depends.

via Echofon in reply to archidave

@Mouse_House [d’oh! hit return!] …maybe I’ll just pick whichever’s shorter…

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House You make a very good point. Hmm. _Dracula_, or _Slumdog Millionaire_? Maybe I

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

Oooooh, Margo Timmins. What a voice.

via Echofon

@Swishrelic @archidave Often I’ll go for random from a fairly big subset though. At the mo, random shuffle of “songs added in last 3 months”

via Echofon in reply to Swishrelic

@Swishrelic @archidave I don’t like pure random — too much jumping about genres. Like SomaFM for working to; lack of lyrics help me write.

via Echofon in reply to Swishrelic

@Mouse_House Oh, I see what you mean! No, I don’t have a way to watch video in the bedroom; was just going to watch, *then* sleep.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Nah, think I’m going to try something new — have had two out from Lovefilm for ages. Prefer familiar stuff when I’m ill!

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Mmmm. Sounds like a good plan. Will have an early night tonight. Unlike last weekend, have cleverly avoided afternoon caffeine!

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@archidave I do, however, have a playlist purely for “songs with the word ‘fuck’ in them”…

via Echofon in reply to archidave

@archidave @thomasvenables It contains a single podcast. I guess it’s an artefact of me trying to fix podcast syncing one time… Ho hum.

via Echofon in reply to archidave

Why do I have a playlist called “F*cking iTunes”? Must be a leftover from previous bug-workarounds…

via Echofon

@Mouse_House Still, have eleven days off starting Good Friday, so that’ll hopefully be good for me!

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House I’ve been taking multivitamins since before I got ill… But yes, think I am, in general, a bit run down.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Yes, thanks :) So am I! Fingers crossed I don’t go down with anything else; have had about four illnesses in a row now :(

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@RamonY1970 I can’t remember. There seems to be a hole in my mind.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to RamonWrites

@RamonY1970 Ah. Sorry, it’s yesterday’s, I think.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to RamonWrites

Hah! The NCIS characters are discussing Stringfellow Hawke.

Glad I had the smoke sensor replaced with a heat sensor at the last fire alarm service.

@KaveyF Let’s face it, dear, uniquesentence.com is basically a continuation Quotes File. And you’re in *there* a lot! @ahnlak @stevemarvell

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF @ahnlak @stevemarvell I’m fairly sure you lot must have at least been adjacent in the Quotes File at some point :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak @KaveyF @stevemarvell Run! Run! From the Hugger Of Doom!

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@KaveyF @stevemarvell Anyway. Kavey, Steve; Steve, Kavey. You are both lovely. I suggest you become mortal enemies, for comedy value.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

The problem with testing out a beta these days is that because there’s so much cloud synching, your beta can clobber data everywhere else…

via Echofon

@stevemarvell What kind of a pervert do you think I am?

via Echofon in reply to stevemarvell

@KaveyF @stevemarvell Clearly I should have spent a few months on DailyBooth wearing various RGB shades of makeup ;)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Heh. As @stevemarvell points out, if all you’ve got is 200 photos of my face, your colour palette is a tad limited :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@MichaelLAmbrose Glad it wasn’t just me! @penelopeelse

via Echofon in reply to MichaelLAmbrose

@penelopeelse Erm. Okaaaaaay. Scared now.

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes This is only a useful skill for me to have if I can get you to buy stuff for me, rather than for you *mumble*Canon 7D*mumble*

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@penelopeelse I don’t even know what one is. I guess that’s a good thing.

via Echofon

@jamesclay Aaaah! County *Durham*! I misheard the original report. Things make a lot more sense now :)

via Echofon in reply to jamesclay

@jamesclay Goodness. You wouldn’t think the East Coast Main Line would be on the way to County Down for many people, would you?

via Echofon in reply to jamesclay

@PTdavelewis No worries. Have half a ton of foodie followers, so I figured you’d get some help :)

via Echofon in reply to PTdavelewis

Currently switching between OSes that scroll in wildly different ways. My brain hurts.

via Echofon

@PTdavelewis I shall retweet that question so that @KaveyF and @ahnlak, who recently went on a Hobbs House baking course, might see it :)

via Echofon in reply to PTdavelewis

PTdavelewis Been baking my own bread over the last few months,no machine involved but always turns out a bit ‘heavy/doughy’. Any ideas?

@KaveyF Like I said, if you don’t mind _me_ knowing, send it along and I’ll post it as “anonymous”…

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Trouble with a guest account or anonymous submission is that I got drowned in spam and low-quality sentences.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF …so I guess it might depend on how anonymous you want to be, and from whom :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Traditionally, anonymous sentences are posted by emailing them to me! I have an “anonymous” account to post them.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Oooh, crashy crashy. Still, that’s what you get when you sign up for beta programs. Hrm.

via Echofon

@SiDawson I honestly have no idea. Although that’s clearly the UK. Erm.

via Echofon in reply to SiDawson

SiDawson Please. Someone explain this: http://bit.ly/e5idgs

via TweetDeck (retweeted on 2:29 PM, Apr 16th, 2011 via Echofon)

@KaveyF Yes, dear. I shall let him know. But for now, I’ve got to get on and try to clear my inbox, like I should have done a fortnight ago!

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Ah. No. Groove Salad _isn’t_ playing something very avant-garde. A @theagilmore track finished downloading and autoplayed into the mix!

via Echofon

@KaveyF It was a random example he did — sure he’s got other algorithms to choose from. He’s not generally a cheetah :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Heh. My friend Steve built a collage from my @dailybooth photos :) http://twitpic.com/4ljvo3

via Echofon

@Mouse_House No can do. Catching up on important stuff from when I was ill. Lots to do :(

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Just as well, I don’t need any more distractions from my “to do” list today :)

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

TheDollSays Train guard is loudly announcing the ‘quiet carriage’ rules. Going to staple him to a chair and write the definition of irony on his face.

@Mouse_House Just the kind of dress I like. Apart from the hole. :)

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@BinaryDad The t-shirts were eyewatering.

via Echofon in reply to BinaryBad

@BinaryDad There were a couple out in Bristol this morning. Tempted to take a political stand against them simply due to their colour scheme

via Echofon in reply to BinaryBad

Head shaved, beard (& eyebrows(!)) trimmed. £7. Savy’s, best value for money in Clifton Villagestol

RT @asic69: Yes, you’re absolutely right, Matt. And also handsome. @bexxi @KaveyF @ahnlak :D

via Tweetbot for iOS

@ahnlak @asic69 That’s fair enough. I never had any love for it myself, as you might have gathered from my early anti-AIR rant :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@KaveyF Yeah, absolutely. Which indicates to me that the “RT:” version is likely to have been edited, so if important I should see original.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak @asic69 That’s a matter between you and your twitter client :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @asic69 Or, conversely, use the native retweet functionality that guarantees that you haven’t changed the content.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@hayles You are absolutely ‘kin right.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

Right. Clifton Village. Haircut. Building Society. Lunch. You know, to-do-ey stuff. Catch you in a bit, folks.

via Echofon

@DigitalJonathan That’s the one. And as I read that, I was listening to _West End Girls_ :)

via Echofon in reply to DigitalJonathan

@KaveyF But @raegar’s Kintweet is a Twitter client for Kindle, not a waterproofing device :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Doing more “testing” of that waterproof case I reviewed earlier this week :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

After hearing a certain Flight of the Conchords track last weekend, just re-bought Pet Shop Boys’ _Please_ in digital format. Fantastic.

via Echofon

ahnlak @gothick I’m wondering how long it will be before people realise that “cloud” is just a rebranding of “mainframe”

via TweetDeck (retweeted on 10:26 AM, Apr 16th, 2011 via Echofon)

The “cloud” is simply the tech industry’s next attempt to make sure computers can’t keep up with my typing, no matter how fast they become.

via Echofon

@twittl3s Well, I’m out of the bath, if that’s what you mean? :)

via Echofon in reply to twittl3s

@KaveyF Heh. I read your reply using @raegar’s from the bath :) Sadly, couldn’t reply, but hey…

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Right. I have made my weekend “to do” list. I will now go and have a long bath in preparation for actually doing some of it :)

via Echofon

@Jorence Yeah. And that’s not counting multiple copies of the same OS. I should probably get out more.

via Echofon

@Jorence Hang on, forgot another one. I have an NSLU2 with Unslung on it running as a server, too. Should probably audit myself more often!

via Echofon

@Jorence Oh, and Ubuntu. I forgot a virtual machine.

via Echofon

@Jorence Hmm. I don’t have too many. Although, technically, just in this room, I have two OS Xs, Debian, Windows XP and Window 7. Hrm.

via Echofon

My weight: 17:6.1 stlb. 0:6.1 stlb to go. Weighin’ in. http://withings.com

via WiTwit

@Jorence What, it’s beating Debian and RedHat and I’ve never heard of it? Goodness, I really should be paying more attention.

via Echofon

@Jorence Ooh, installed a new OS last night. Must be something in the air this weekend.
