@JasonEscape @FuckAwayOff Nipple gyroscopes?

@headfirstonly Well, I would reply here with an opinion, but… Oh well. At least I’m not angry.

SelmaChalabi Are you from a mixed Welsh English family? I’m making a programme for @BBCRadioWales on national identity. Would love to hear from you.

@Jorence It was… okay. Pretty much okay in all respects.

via Echofon

@MediaBen Don’t forget your fascinator.

kevindente Oh look, Google ported VB5 to the browser. http://goo.gl/78gcW

@sueperkins It’ll go away of its own accord as long as you didn’t use a permanent marker.

@codepo8 And I tend to choose services based on an API where I get to do my own backups. At least I can restore my lewdness in emergency :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to codepo8

@codepo8 Well, this no-list blogger is fond of delicious. Any recent news on that particular future? Not checked recently :/

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to codepo8

@codepo8 Was that what they were? I didn’t use ‘em, just remembered the disaster.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to codepo8

@codepo8 Yeah, but at least they have multiple good DB backups, apparently. Remember magnolia?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to codepo8

@NivenJ1 Erm. The button with the small “A” and the big “A”, from memory…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to NivenJ1

@codepo8 Well it’s a good testament to their engineering that they’re carrying on okay without the main DB server, at least…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to codepo8

In My Burrito. Gone for chipotle. May be a mistake.

People congregating with sackful of water pistols. Hmm. @ Millennium Square http://instagr.am/p/GIaL…

Off to see John Cleese.

@floyduk Still a bit too much for me to pay for the “just mucking about” that I do, sadly. Ah well.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to floyduk

@technex Someone needs to design a seagull-tracking mini-antiaircraft gun. And I want the “nano” edition for mosquitos, too.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to technex

@floyduk Having tried Premiere Elements the other day, I’d be excited about any product that actually worked. How much is FCE now?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to floyduk

@technex Allowed, yes. Effective against something that happily splashes about in gales on the arctic ocean? Probably not.

I am taking Monday off (do-dah, do-dah!)

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Mouse_House Cool. Well, I suppose time does move slower in Post Offices. The carpet tiles are probably still from 1989, too.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to mousedogbaby

@6sync Well, no rush. Just don’t have any more outages until you’ve done it. Simple! :D (Also, please add timezone to the times when you do)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to 6sync

@6sync One thing for future improvement: would it be good to have time as well as date on the status site entries?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to 6sync

@brooke_nolan Yeah, but that average was £350 *before* the royal wedding ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to brooke_nolan

@Mouse_House Good plan. When I were a lad, you got a form from the counter, filled it in and gave it to them, but the world has changed!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House Well, I’d *imagine* so, but you might want to ask someone who’s done it more recently than 1989 before you take the chance!

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

RT @Dan_Martin: Bristol Harbour in all its glory http://twitpic.com/5eq8bl <— View from the M Shed balcony! Cool!

via Echofon

@Mouse_House Scarily, for the complicated stuff, it might actually be better to go to a Post Office. And that’s saying something.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House I normally don’t find the DVLA site too terrible, but I tend only to do simple things there.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@6sync No worries. At least it didn’t die in the middle of something; I found out by kicking off an rsync!

via Echofon in reply to 6sync

@Mouse_House Most sites are sensible enough to cope with you doing that. But only “most”.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@paulahillier Maybe it just doesn’t think I’m interesting enough for you. *sniff*

via Echofon in reply to paulahillier

fablor Found a really weird thing on my calf while I was in the shower. Get this: It’s a MUSCLE! I HAVE A MUSCLE!!!!!!!!!

@paulahillier What *are* you doing?

via Echofon

@KellySibson Awesome! The most expensive noise cancelling headphones in the world :)

via Echofon

@seengee It is clearly the marmite of the herb world.

My Wikipedia fact of the month, from Cochlear impant article: http://bit.ly/lfAx1S

via Echofon

@Dan_Martin Can you get up on the balcony? What’s the view like? (Was just considering a tilt/shift photo vantage point…)

via Echofon in reply to Dan_Martin

Oh, it’s *not* my rubbish 3G connection. 6Sync are actually down.

via Echofon

@pjakobs True. Although he probably couldn’t, given that he’s using Microsoft Frontpage.

via Echofon in reply to pjakobs

@pjakobs It’s certainly a pretty good argument for using HTML5.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pjakobs

@pjakobs Jesus. Why on earth does he have the HTML5 logo on *that*?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to pjakobs

@BenPark Was probably about a year ago. Might’ve been August; it was bloody hot up there :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark I was filmed, rather than doing any editing, sadly. “How to photograph lightning” segment of “Wlid Weather of the West” programme.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark I was especially impressed by the fact there are special Final Cut keyboards. Productivity++.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark When I did my little video segment for the Beeb last year we recorded it in their Final Cut editing suite. So many bits of tech!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Every time I try to do anything in Premiere, it fails/crashes/annoys me. Think I might try Final Cut Express next.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Mine is stutter free in latest iMovie, but I switched to a faster Mac at same time I upgraded, so I don’t know which helped most!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Heh. Was going to be Premiere Elements, but I couldn’t even get the damn thing to import my video. Edited in iMovie while waiting!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark I particularly like “had drunk half a bottle of gin after judging a croquet competition”…

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

Oh, come on, computer, I need to get on with my life.
