@tweeny4 Ooh! Happy birthday! #justintime
@meemalee Skip the first twenty minutes. It gets good once the cooking starts.
@lahlootea @cliftonmia …but then I’ve always had a bit of a thing for insane people :)
@lahlootea @cliftonmia Tim. Been thinking so for weeks.
@lahlootea Just what I was wondering.
Right. Masterchef. #comeontim
Bah. Am tired. Even after a ton of days off in a row. Think I’ll head for bed straight after Masterchef, try to be ready to work tomorrow.
@BlackDogDays Ooopsie. Always more fearful as a pedestrian than a driver there…
@GreedyRosie Hmmm… Light, expensive, not behind the counter. Hmm. Postal tube full of saffron?
@johnfbraun I love the way military scammers always think so big :)
While queueing in Costcutter/Post Office earlier, thought: has anyone ever shoplifted by wrapping goods & posting to se#cunningplanplan
@Dru_Marland Hah! When I opened the next one along, my cursor added a monocle! Posh fox! http://twitpic.com/4q5c40
@adamficek Yeah, but have you got a fiver?
(Also, they make my favourite truffles EVAH so they can do no wrong.)
Ah, Charbonnel et Walker bring out the Royal Wedding chocs. http://bit.ly/hnclBv To be fair, having a Royal Warrant is a reasonable reason.
Well, that’s a mini-full of scrap taken to the tip. *mops brow* *pants*
This afternoon, I have mostly been breaking long planks in half using sokuto fumikomi technique. Years of practice finally become practical!
@ParkBen That was my impression, too. Maybe they use iframes so they can update the embed code automatically without you having to.
@ParkBen Cool. I wonder why everywhere’s iframing by default?
@nyssapod Pleasure!
Tweeting from the bath ;) #kintweet
@ParkBen I don’t watch a lot of video!
@ParkBen Ahahahaha! Love the low-gravity bit, too :)
@ParkBen Where’s that?
@ParkBen I believe so, yes. Such is the transient nature of so many things on the internet…
nyssapod My sister Hannah’s giving up the internet & tv & texting for a month! For Crohn’s & Colitis UK http://www.justgiving.co…
@nyssapod A month? I’d be a wreck within a day.
@ParkBen …turns a [shortcode] into the perfectly normal YouTube/whatever embed code, I think. So it should work _as_ well as that does.
@ParkBen I can’t see why it wouldn’t work with mobile. It’s basically just code that
@ParkBen Strikes me I should have re-read the manual on embedding every time WordPress did a release. I never knew any of this stuff!
@ParkBen Also, for size with the built-in embed, try this: http://twitpic.com/4q2e2z
@ParkBen If you’re mostly embedding video, I really would recommend http://www.viper007bond….
@ParkBen …turns straight into a video! I never knew that! http://twitpic.com/4q2bdm
@ParkBen Although! Check this out, just the raw URL, pasted into the visual editor (no link): http://twitpic.com/4q2b86
@ParkBen No. It doesn’t help that I’m running WordPress Multisite and different sites have different plugins enabled. #confused.com
@ParkBen My problem is that I’m so stuffed to the gills with plugins that I don’t know what’s doing what any more!
@ParkBen …technically, I think you should just be able to use a straight link, and if Settings->Media->Auto-embeds is on, should Just Work
@ParkBen Odd! Well, as I said, I tend to use a plugin for video embeds, so I guess that’s why I didn’t notice. Although…
@ParkBen (“Odd”, even :) )
@ParkBen Maybe they killed iframe embedding in a recent WordPress update, or something. Od..
@ParkBen Aaah! Guess wordpress.com has code/plugin to convert the maps link into a special shortcode.
@ParkBen But I’m not sure I’ve ever embedded a Google map. For video, I generally use the “Viper’s Video Quicktags” plugin…
@ParkBen Hrm. Looks like YouTube have changed their embed to be iframe, which is buggering up WordPress. Erm.
@ParkBen Let me know what you’re trying to embed and I can give it a go…
@ParkBen Plugin doing something odd?
Just had a “while you were out” card put through the door by Southern Electric. Gee, thanks. I’M RIGHT HERE! *HERE*!
@csoanes Cute! But I think five minutes with the jigsaw will be cheaper and easier…
@daycoder My sympathy. And I mean that sincerely; half my day-job is corporate Excel-wrangling.
@daycoder Use Google Doc’s spreadsheet. That’s a consistent pile of shit everywhere.
@csoanes Unfortunately the main problem I have needs me to take the windscreen out. Instead, I shall probably saw these planks in half…
@MediaBen I’m sure it won’t be too much of a trauma, but I may have to saw some long planks of wood in half first!
So, my main outdoor task for the day — seeing just how much rubbish I can fit in the back of a mini.
@thomasvenables Still better terms than the council, then?
@archidave I now have an idea for a series of children’s books featuring Skippie the Rubbish Pixie from Tippieland.
I have looked outside, and sadly the rubbish fairies didn’t take all the stuff from the backyard to the tip for me last night. Damn.
ArfurSmith my personal trainer has turned up pissed again.
@mhoulden If you liked Portal, I can’t see you not liking Portal 2.
@bertpalmer No, just mildly fuming.
@BlackDogDays A friend just phoned me up to check on me after hearing about an accident in my road. Maybe it was nearer me?
@bertpalmer I’m frequently incensed in Post Office queues.
