Right. Think it might be bedtime. Whether it was the massage, the yard work or the cider, I’m not sure, but I’m ker-nackered.

@BlackDogDays Best car chase EVAH to come, too.

@tsunimee Bloody hell. Well, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone sending or receiving them. Weirdos.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee I CAN’T IGNORE THAT. I’m a GEEK. And you left a bracket unbalanced. You must tweet a ‘[’ immediately.

@tsunimee St George’s Day? Who the heck sent a St George’s Day card?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

Hmm. Next time I give any data to Sony, remind me to put some DRM on it first, will you?

@mightymur Well, I personally know some multi-million pound financial managers who haven’t worked it out, so you’re in good company!

@OpinionatedGeek I’ve been okay as long as I notice my (pronation-controlling) shoes have worn out when they’ve worn out!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to OpinionatedGeek

@OpinionatedGeek Hope it works! I seem to get a different theory from everyone I go to.

Tonight’s features the kind of restaurant where I’d be wondering if anyone would notice if I nipped to the chip shop instead.

@ahnlak Seems fine in Bristol. Is there maybe some idiot having a wedding down your way?

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@nyssapod Yup. And when it’s dried out, I’ll even get to enjoy it :)

via Echofon in reply to nyssapod

@Jorence Do you really need an answer to that one?

@Jorence “When hungry, eat; when tired, sleep.”

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Jorence It’s worked quite well for me for most of the last five days.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Jorence As is carefully noted by the -17p saving…

RT @Easybourne: Bargain. telegraph.co.uk/travel/picture… <— it’s the fact that it’s *hand written* that makes this, isn’t it?

via Echofon

@archidave Thank you. It was about bloody time, mind you, but that doesn’t detract from today’s progress much :)

via Echofon in reply to archidave

@Crackerwax So far I’ve had five days downtime, and feel very much more human again. If you can, do it!

@Mouse_House 3 times out of 3 today, I have turned on my usually-trusty @BBCRadio4, heard “royal” within 10 secs and turned off again.

I shall now have the bottle of cider I cleverly bought for myself as a reward for getting to this stage.

via Echofon

@Narshada That’s possibly more accurate.

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@Narshada I’m a little wary of having “followers”. I’d rather have “listeners”. Or “ignorers”.

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@hayles It’s nice, but because it’s a basement it gets very little sun. Limits what I can grow, but is a lovely retreat on hot days.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@jacrats I like it. It’s been lovelier, though. Need to restore some dead plants and maybe repaint in places.

via Echofon in reply to jacrats

@Narshada I did wonder about confusing my more Whedony listeners :)

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@hayles It’s not bad. Though you can judge the postage-stamp-like size of it if I tell you that was taken with a 10mm lens.

Serenity Level One has been restored. Repeat, Serenity Level One has been restored. (“Phew! That’ll do for now!”) http://twitpic.com/4pt3rp

@nyssapod Some of it will be Freecycled, some will be tipped, some will recycled by moi… We’ll see!

via Echofon in reply to nyssapod

@KaveyF On the other hand, with the price of fossil fuel these days, the coal’s probably worth a fair bit, too…

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Yard-clearing at the “it’ll get worse before it gets better” stage. http://twitpic.com/4pseo4

via Echofon

@KaveyF I think I’d get some pretty funny looks getting it framed, though :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@richardjfoster This bag must’ve been here since before I bought the flat, in 1999…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to richardjfoster

I have now cleared out so much crap I’ve literally struck coal. Coal so old it uses a golliwog in the marketing! http://twitpic.com/4prcyo

via Tweetbot for iOS

@mcgazz So, any idea how many people spend ten minutes watching Terrahawks videos on YouTube when you get retweeted?

via Echofon in reply to panthersolo

@JoeFinder Well, all the *ribbons* have gone already, so the printers should probably be next. *peers at invisibly-printed receipt*

via Echofon in reply to JoeFinder

@tsunimee The speed things are going, you may have to wait quite a while.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@rabidbee It is purely the t-shirt, and not the @Infadels who have been relegated to gardening duty. http://twitpic.com/4pqvk1

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

Also: I am apparently at *that* moment where a once-prized gig t-shirt becomes the clearing-out-the-yard t-shirt.

via Echofon

I will now start the transformation of this junk-heap into somewhere I’d want to spend a summer afternoon. http://twitpic.com/4pqdh4

via Echofon

RT @japanphotos: Shit, big quake! <— Ulp.

via Echofon

Right. Home. Yard clearage.

via Echofon

@GaryJones1960 If I had seen The Full Monty, I might have more of a clue. Still probably wouldn’t, though :)

via Echofon in reply to garycasamojo

@psidnell Depends. Were you the one talking to yourself? *ducks*

via Echofon in reply to psidnell

So, after lunch, is it yard clearing or web design for my afternoon? Hmm…

via Echofon

@psidnell *looks shifty* *takes rucksack off* Yes! Yes, them too!

via Echofon in reply to psidnell

Just posted a photo @ Boston Tea Party, Clifton http://instagr.am/p/Dkcz…

Ah, the Post Office. Because every unmoving queue needs shit dance music.

via Tweetbot for iOS

It’s possible a massage isn’t the best preliminary for a day of yard clearing. Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow…

via Tweetbot for iOS

@g_e_r_b Ah, I hadn’t even found that. Back with last.fm. It knows me very well these days, so its “recommendation station” is great.

via Echofon in reply to g_e_r_b

@Phooto I’m printing a returns note to a shoe shop. Somehow I think dye sublimation is unlikely to improve it :)

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Damn. That was my clever plan for today, though. Except I’ve not actually done my clearing yet.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

I have been swearing at my printer. Turns out they tend to work better if they’re plugged in.

via Echofon

@danfairs I’m back with last.fm. Flirtation over.

via Echofon in reply to danfairs

@fdr106 Hard to tell, though. I like last.fm’s “recommendations radio”, which works very well. Have switched back after my brief flirtation!

via Echofon in reply to fdr106

On the downside, while last.fm is awesome, it has just been the one to inform me that Mick Karn is dead. Nooooo. Damn.

via Echofon

@hayles Whereas last.fm has got to the stage where it plays stuff my friends have been telling me I should listen to for ages :D

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles But what I really want is last.fm with a Mac app written by the people who did Spotify’s app. So. Much. Prettier.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles I’ve never used it enough to hear an advert or get charged. But I wouldn’t mind paying money if it was good.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles I think I may end up remaining faithful to last.fm.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

Okay, flirting briefly with Spotify. Is there a way of making play stuff it thinks I might like?

via Echofon

Geeky peeps: Today’s O’Reilly deal of the day is 50% off Arduino ebooks :) http://oreil.ly/hoGrs4

via Echofon

Morning all. Up early today because I have to go… Hah! For a massage, rather than back to work.
