@oxfamcothambook Aw, shucks. *blush*
@MandinaM I *might* drag myself up on Sunday if there are blueish skies. But then again, want to do the night glow tomorrow night. Hrm.
@MandinaM Yeah, it’s a tough call. I normally only make one dawn launch per fiesta.
@BristolBones Left my place about 5:30, so I’d have got there six-ish, I guess.
@BristolBones Ta.
@MandinaM I love the walk up there. But, er… I was in bed by about 10:30 last night so I’d cope with this morning :)
@MandinaM It was not that lush a sunrise this morning, but I took a chance and it paid off :)
Here are some of my #bibf mass balloon launch snaps from this morning flic.kr/s/aHsjvDQJAg #bristol [This time, *with* the link]
@jcroft …and I think we have a winner. Maybe the stoopid thing’s trying to set them before it’s mounted the drive, or something.
@jcroft Your backdrops don’t happen to be in an iPhoto library mounted on an external drive, do they? (Mine are.)
@zombizi He’s got a great face for comedy, though. Picked the wrong career.
@jcroft If you go into the desktop System Preferences, do your backdrops magically reappear without you having to select them? Mine did.
@jcroft Heck, I got that not three minutes ago just by *rebooting* 10.7.0. It may not be an update bug.
@almostexact I’ll tell you why. It’s because Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
benstewart999 Wow! Speaking about the 11-year old looter, Cameron said “Everybody deserves a 2nd chance”. Oh no, sorry, he was talking about Andy Coulson
@the3rdgirl I can be sexy. *does sexy*
@ollieflips Generally, I prefer the bigger ones, because I know where they are. Unless I mistake them for an avant-garde light fitting.
@CasJam Yeah, 14 is the dev channel. If you want to try it and see if it helps, select the dev channel from bit.ly/pgzX3L
@CasJam I have never seen that on a Mac, Lion or no Lion. Mind you, I’m running version 14, which might be more Lion-friendly.
@mollycrabapple Woah, rewind! There’s a vote? Oh! Well, I’m with you. Feynman. Such a beautiful face.
@tsunimee :)
@guriben If it helps, I think you can type a question mark on that keyboard by using a “2”, a full stop, and some Tipp-Ex correction paper.
Like Flickr? Like using your keyboard? Press ‘?’ on any Flickr page. Ta-da! (Courtesy PetaPixel bit.ly/nOcnmu)
@tomfordyce Did he mean “torpid”?
@Malarkey Though I also think it’s iOS-like in that it should eventually figure that out for itself and stop correcting it.
@Malarkey Add it to the spelling dictionary (type it, right-click it, Learn Spelling.)
@talkie_tim I’ll see your Birmingham New Street and raise you a Swindon.
“…a bullet which lodged itself in one officer’s radio…” http://bbc.in/nnxwVq #hmm #cleverbullet
@Kate_Butler Probably not drug dealers, as they’re technically a small business.
@thomasvenables Goodness. Are you spreading sedition? TURN OFF TWITTER IN BRISTOL IMMEDIATELY!
@MissEmmeline Yes, that just means you’re a decade younger :)
@AnthonyHocken Yeah. And we’d better not go back to using runners to communicate. #banlegsnow
@andybeebristol Ah, I did wonder why I hadn’t bumped into you for 24 hours solid :)
@tadramgo But I still agree with your conclusion!
@tadramgo Hrm. ARPANET was designed for that, when it was controlled by a single government who wanted that to be the case.
@johnprescott …but even then I can think of ways around it if you’re technical enough.
@johnprescott Sounds really quite hard. Might just be able to do it for *mobile* connections specifically with help from phone companies.
I think I might listen to Radio 4 and bake some bread. #middleclasstweets
@benclatworthy Yup, took a few. Bit weary now, it has to be said. Long walk on top of the early start always knocks me out!
@ToM_BaL Yeah. This is how it’s looking in an Ashton Court direction at the mo :( http://twitpic.com/64wc82
Faulty phone replaced, and back onto the ferry home just before the rain. Win. Thank you, AppleCare, and Melissa at Cabot Circus store.
@EtcEtcOnline Oh. Do people actually *say* things like that? I thought that only happened on _The Apprentice_.
@KellySibson #badumtish
Heading townwards. http://instagr.am/p/KBpt…
markthomasinfo Never thought I would say this but “Hats off Peter Oborne” blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peterobor…
@hayles HAHAHA.
@helloemsy @hayles #lovelybristol Watching 60 balloons take off at dawn, then crossing suspension bridge to drink latte in BTP :) #rightnow
guriben Hello. A base station shared by mobile operators in Bristol has been vandalised. Your 3G/CDMA coverage may be a bit shit.
@guriben Oddly, had the best coverage ever at Ashton Court. Someone must have put a new one in since last year.
jbrownridge 70 lightning strikes caught in one awesome photo i.imgur.com/lam6M.jpg
@Phooto Please tag those #badumtish in future.
Phew. Thought the bridge was still closed for some reason, but they’re just coincidentally doing some work on the east walkway.
mharrisfreeth Bristol this morning. http://twitpic.com/64rlzm
Right. Coffee. Now, where did I leave that suspension bridge? *looks around*
tom_watson I wonder if David Cameron has even heard of Gizmodo. I hope is staff show him the link: http://gizmo.do/qfLe1U
@emmafurious Yup!
@danfairs Lots more coming that way!
Feel the burn. http://instagr.am/p/KAfP…
Good to talk to @MatthewTosh about the pyrotechnics just now. Sounds like a good show lined up for tomorrow night! #bibf
Weather improving :) #bibf http://lockerz.com/s/128…
@Phooto No, it’s *even more* weather-dependent than NASA ;) Will do.
@IreneB9 Yup. Not certain. But optimistic. Cross fingers!
“Optimistic” for a launch this morning. #bibf http://lockerz.com/s/128…
@ClearlyAM No worries. Looking good up here. Low wind, getting brighter :) http://instagr.am/p/KAPx…
@Swishrelic Archaeologists will probably find it under a pyramid next year. #crazytech
@ClearlyAM Looking likely :)
@Jorence Me too. Currently walking quite fast Ashton Court-wards just in case. #runninglate #5amstartsaretough
@Jorence Morning!
On my way up to the #bibf http://instagr.am/p/KABf…
@MatthewTosh Awesome. It was worth getting up then! On way to snap some pics :)
@tsunimee I think you must be in a different timezone. I just got up!
