@ckh2oman It’s annoying that there’s not a consistent shortcut. Maybe it’ll get standardised at some point.

via Echofon in reply to ckh2oman

@ckh2oman I remember it particularly because Evernote steals the key combination if you’ve got its clipper running. Took ages to work out!

via Echofon in reply to ckh2oman

@ShabbyBean Well, it sounds good, so I’m glad :)

via Echofon in reply to ShabbyBean

@tyronem I am my own crayon wielder, so I only have myself to blame!

via Echofon in reply to tyronem

@Souterain My test run was on my Air, where everything was just dandy. Don’t know what was wrong with the iMac. Back in now & reporting to 

via Echofon

@ckh2oman Odd. Safari and Mail are both Command-Ctrl-F for Full Screen for me.

via Echofon in reply to ckh2oman

@Souterain Of course I have backups. But I want Lion on here, damn it.

via Echofon

@ckh2oman Er. Command-Ctrl-F in most things, I thought?

via Echofon in reply to ckh2oman

@tyronem Input controls always seem annoyingly hard to style :(

via Echofon in reply to tyronem

Oh, great. Installed on iMac. Now I don’t have any user accounts.

via Echofon

@tyronem Saw a SO answer on that a few weeks ago. Erm… Here: http://bit.ly/pzc8Kb <— beyond that, I know nothing, though.

via Echofon in reply to tyronem

Those soldiers in the Doctor Who episode I’m watching are wearing Federation helmets. Watch out for Servalan, Doc!

via Echofon

@hayles Nice one! At some point, I think I may have to write a WordPress plugin for building maps like that…

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles There’s a big gap where it would be, but nothing there.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@Markgatiss Just about to watch _Frontios_. This is all your fault :)

via Echofon

@archidave There’s a hashtag for people like you.

@technex Ooop. Well, it could be worse, at least you’re not on a hard shoulder somewhere.

via Echofon in reply to technex

I would just like to take a moment to apologise for all my non-computer-geek followers for today’s geeky tweets. I will calm down tomorrow.

via Echofon

Right. Taking the plunge on the big machine.

via Echofon

arlinelyons So, I went to buy a pot. http://twitpic.com/5t3g0n

@drewm Probably helped that I put it on a laptop first to get used to it, alongside my main box running 10.6.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to drewm

@drewm The new one isn’t half bad once you’re used to it. It’s a bit like the scrolling — roll with it for a week and see how you feel :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to drewm

Bah. *wrings out clothes*

via Tweetbot for iOS

@jbrownridge It’s okay. You didn’t miss much. Er. Okay, it’s just possible that I am lying.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to jbrownridge

@BlackDogDays Hoping very much for a shower no longer than 15 mins ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS

@jcroft That seems to be the consensus (despite build number mistake in plist file…)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to jcroft

A variety of solutions if you want to see your Library folder in http://bit.ly/n3vRCj

via Echofon

@Easybourne Ta. Yur, it does have a more cohesive feel.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Easybourne

@arlinelyons Well, if you will plunk yourself in strange alien territories…

Bloggity: Off the beaten track in : Little Lion Luxuries. http://bit.ly/llionl

via Echofon

@arlinelyons Heh. Yeah. People actually do warm-ups for John’s reviews. http://www.youtube.com/w…

via Echofon in reply to arlinelyons

MrMattAnderson RT @southwestrda: BBC News - Future Publishing to cut 100 jobs in Bath and worldwide bbc.in/p1p5rk < Not good :(

@Narshada Probably not today, sadly. Pesky work!

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

John Siracusa’s huge Lion review now up at Ars: http://arstechnica.com/a…

via Echofon

@fdr106 If upgrading a desktop, you may end up considering a trackpad, too. It’s very gesturey.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to fdr106

@fdr106 Ny verdict: for me, worth the upgrade. Many changes to get used to; some will divide opinion.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to fdr106

For anyone failing to find it, to add a new Desktop in Mission Control, move your mouse into the top corner; a “plus” will appear.

via Echofon

@BradleyLaw With the app in the correct Space, right click in Dock, Options -> Assign to This Desktop.

via Echofon in reply to BradleyLaw

@BradleyLaw Nope, pretty sure that’s not possible now.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BradleyLaw

@BradleyLaw Yeah, only possible *from* main area *to* desktop thumbnail in MC, I think.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BradleyLaw

@BradleyLaw Also, in Mission Control, can drag from main area (showing current Desktop) to any Desktop thumbnail at top.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BradleyLaw

@BradleyLaw If spaces are adjacent, just drag to edge of one space and hold; will auto switch in that direction.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BradleyLaw

(Not that the App Store link seems to be working yet, but I imagine that kind of thing take a while to push…)

via Echofon

UK Apple Store website now back up with new Airs and a link to Lion in the App Store.

via Echofon

@Narshada …for starters, I might pop in and buy a Trackpad…

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@Narshada Heh. Good luck. Imagine you might be a bit busier the next few days…

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@Phooto @asic69 I’m thinking of buying a trackpad for the desktop. Think these gesturey things might be quite nice.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto @asic69 My guess would be that you’ll be able to do same kind of thing as you do now, but use different method to do it.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@asic69 Depends exactly how you drag and how you flick, I believe. I understand things have changed significantly, but not disastrously.

via Echofon in reply to asic69

@BlackDogDays Sadly, I’m more of an Evans shape.

via Echofon

@Thehappyfatgirl Sadly, I am getting into the more autumnal mood of today with a beige cashmere pullover.

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

Lots of pretty summer dresses around the office today. Well done on defying the gloomy weather, people.

via Echofon

BristolZooGdns We are very sad to hear that a Wow! Gorilla has been vandalised. We will be working hard to assess the damage & repair it asap

via Twitter Web Client (retweeted on 11:01 AM, Jul 20th, 2011 via Tweetbot for iOS)

@paulahillier @ThePodCompany Sadly, the same kind of idiot who vandalised some of those public pianos we had for a while :(

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to paulahillier

@Easybourne Good luck! There is a compatibility wiki at roaringapps.com, but obviously not that complete yet.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Easybourne

@Easybourne I can only try it at home :) Work is Windows-only.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Easybourne

@Easybourne Take a backup. And check for Rosetta-dependent apps in advance. And update as many apps as poss first.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Easybourne

@BenPark It times like that I wish I were the kind of huge burly bloke who could walk up and quietly ask, “Can I help you with anything?”

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@nigellegg That would have meant I’d walked past the fluorescent pink fountains yesterday without noticing. So I hope not!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to nigellegg

@BlackDogDays I think they’ve used something a bit fluorescent. Certainly eye-catching!

via Tweetbot for iOS

Works well on the Centre’s little spouts, too! @BlackDogDays tells me it’s to promote Legally Blonde :) http://instagr.am/p/IE_t…

via Instagram

Fairly sure the fountain steps water isn’t usually this colour… (Photo unfiltered!) http://instagr.am/p/IE_E…

via Instagram

@guriben @hayles Well, that is at least quite an impressive achievement…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to guriben

@LouisTrapani I think you were typing in the wrong accent.

via Echofon in reply to LouisTrapani

@LouisTrapani As you’d expect from weird stuff like this, it works fine here (the British way round.) http://lockerz.com/s/121…

via Echofon

@LouisTrapani Odd. So it thinks the language should be British English, maybe?
