@tsunimee Bear in mind I am a technogadgetgeekboy :)

@tsunimee My freeview box records stuff. Got a hard drive built in.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Also, living at my parents’ place wouldn’t help, because they don’t have a telly :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee No, I just have a Freeview box. And the cheapest level of LoveFilm subscription.

@drawar Depends what they’re for. If I saw a *non*-ugly site design for a 1980s actor or a plumbing supplies company, I’d be suspicious.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to MakersCabin

_Ghostbusters_ really is still awesome, isn’t it?

via Echofon

@PrisRosen @hayles is hinting about the gnomes, by the way.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

@Dichohecho Great. I just tried it to see what was wrong with Tumblr, and now I’m following bunnies.

via Echofon in reply to Dichohecho

@KaveyF I suggest waiting where you are for around ten hours. Problem solved.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF @hayles Narrr! It’s my Somerset impression. You can tell by counting the legs.

Queen_UK As is traditional for the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith at Easter, one is having a gin and tonic.

@hayles Whitchurch? Have they discovered fire?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Are you near Stokes Croft?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

Actually having to pause _House_ while my giggling fits subside.

@rhodri And, if you don’t have a radiator, _George and Mildred: The Movie_ is on ITV3.

via Echofon in reply to rhodri

RT @matt_fwyalchen: Erm… yfrog.com/h4czydrj <— No wonder he looks surprised!

via Echofon

@helsmartin Hmm. Will have to work on reproducing these conditions. Although that does mean borrowing a cat.

via Echofon in reply to helsmartin

@helsmartin Gosh. I’ll have one of whatever you’ve got, please.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to helsmartin

I have an Easter egg and an episode of _House_. This makes me happy.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Dichohecho @talkie_tim Well, let us know if you need a hand. Though Twitter probably isn’t the best medium!

via Echofon in reply to Dichohecho

@Dichohecho I take it this is not a question which can be answered, “Oh, grow up, it’s all bloody memory, innit?” :)

via Echofon in reply to Dichohecho

@hayles Yeah. Other thought: is one recording IPs, but the other resolving them into actual domain names?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles It’s one of those things I could probably figure out given the logs, the code and some time. But without that I’m just guessing…

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Many spammers fake their user-agents to be other things.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Possible getclicky ignores certain user-agents? e.g. so Google search bot doesn’t count as a visitor?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Hmm. What’s telling you that they didn’t visit the site?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hbrumleve :) I also accept powers of two, of course, so in the best case scenario, you only really need to find 24 :)

via Echofon in reply to hbrumleve

@RamonY1970 Oh! You’re right! Dopey me. Now, of course, I’ll have to try to remember which is which until the next time this comes up.

via Echofon in reply to RamonWrites

Goodness. Am following exactly 1,000 people. Nobody introduce me to anyone new. Ever.

via Echofon

@RamonY1970 Fair point. Maybe I’d just be happier if they were titled differently so I didn’t get my hopes up.

via Echofon in reply to RamonWrites

@Dichohecho Try turning yourself off and on again. And try not to think about heaps.

via Echofon in reply to Dichohecho

@ahnlak I didn’t think it was awful. Just not as good, and a bit pointless.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

Was excited by seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the TV listings, but it’s the remake.

via Echofon

Hrm. I want to do stuff. My body wants a nap. Hrm.

via Echofon

@andybeebristol Sadly, I’m all the way down the hill again! Ah well. Maybe next time!

via Echofon in reply to andybeebristol

@Ihnatko I have no idea what a pizelle is. But I want one now.

via Echofon in reply to Ihnatko

@mikedunn To summarise, “yes, we know links don’t work if you’re in the UK. Suck it up. It’s on our list. Remove the #! to make it work.”

via Echofon in reply to mikedunn

@mikedunn …I would send you a link to the ZenDesk reply, but of course, the URL won’t work for you.

via Echofon in reply to mikedunn

Oopsie. Power cut. Really must get the modem on the UPS, too.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@hayles That’s not enough notification, surely? Isn’t there an option for sending you a postcard, too?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

Making a big list of Big Spring Clean Stuff To Do.

via Echofon

@tsunimee I can’t quite imagine that. Maybe you should send a pic ;D

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@ahnlak @tsunimee I just know all the tricks. Note the standard shot-from-above-to-hide-double-chin social media icon angle :D

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@tsunimee Glad you like it. Felt slightly self-conscious taking pics of self with big camera in the street, but the light was really good :)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@t_pk Cool. A synth is one thing I’ve never owned, though I do have a controller keyboard gathering dust somewhere…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to t_pk

@DigitalJonathan …also, as I said, it’s only little. But very well done.

via Echofon in reply to DigitalJonathan

@DigitalJonathan I’d say so — it’ll certainly help you understand what’s going on in Portal 2; very much a sequel.

via Echofon in reply to DigitalJonathan

@libbymiller I hear there are protests over the new Waitrose.

via Echofon in reply to libbymiller

Enjoying @Dru_Marland’s helpful guide to petrol bombs :) http://bit.ly/gKbeWC

via Echofon

@KaveyF @meemalee I will not ask. I will not ask. I will not ask.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@DigitalJonathan I like it immensely, and I rarely even play computer games. Maybe try Portal 1 first, which is small, but perfectly-formed.

via Echofon in reply to DigitalJonathan

Short, shameful confession: I actually quite like the gnomes. http://bit.ly/g5bOpH

via Echofon

Loving the fact that @somafm has a “Secret Agent” station dedicated to making your life more spy-ey. (Does @mattgemmell know about this?)

@VeraR2010 …I signed up for a 10K that was a few months off and used that as a target to train against. Good motivation!

via Echofon in reply to VeraR2010

@VeraR2010 I did 5k a few times after I first got there, then just pushed it to six the next time I was feeling confident. After that…

via Echofon in reply to VeraR2010

@VeraR2010 That was my motivation! It’s still okay right now, especially if it’s a bit cloudy where you are. Go! :)

via Echofon in reply to VeraR2010

Quick sunday morning jog: done. http://bit.ly/h8o7ag
