@jakepjohnson Also, if it helps, I was randomly sitting next to a pro photographer in BTP yesterday, and he recommended digilabpro.co.uk

@jakepjohnson And by “print them yourself”, I mean finding a decent print shop and dealing with them, then sending the results on.

via Echofon in reply to jakepjohnson

@jakepjohnson Print them yourself. Getting good photo prints isn’t trivial, best to learn yourself and charge for that experience.

@KaveyF Well, *I’d* enjoy it. But I’d also enjoy skiing down the subsequent slope on your Google analytics visitor graph.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Yes, that’s a well-known effect of adding sound to a web page :D

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF You should add some sounds so it says “Ackackack” when you load it.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@R2UK @perrygascoine £2 and a Creme Egg! (PS: How on earth did you end up with a superfluous iPad, Ruth?)

via Echofon in reply to therutharnold

@dottyteakettle That sounds remarkably like my one (and only) experience with Bikram.

@shezza_t He was not bearded. And neither, current avatar notwithstanding, am I, at the moment. I suspect arsehole.

@malvernrunner Generating points is part of my programming as a stealth spambot. Soon I will strip to my bikini and start selling v1agra.

via Echofon in reply to malvernrunner

@malvernrunner I wonder how many we’d see if Twitter *weren’t* doing something about them?

via Echofon in reply to malvernrunner

@siracusa I recommend letting go. Take a deep breath, and delete everything in Downloads.

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa …and I can’t see any obvious way of setting it from the command line.

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa Starting to suspect that kMDItemDateAdded is derived/held by Spotlight, and can’t be set as a file attribute.

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa Hrrm. On the files I’m trying, they have visible kMDItemDateAdded when viewed with mdls, but not with xattr. Different stores?

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa Yeah, still fiddling here. Who puts a date in a binary plist, damn it?

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa …though I’m not convinced kMDItemDateAdded actually maps to the Finder’s “Date Added”, if that’s what you’re trying to set.

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

@siracusa xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDateAdded “`xattr -p com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDownloadedDate FILENAME`” FILENAME

via Echofon in reply to siracusa

Oh, yes, by all means, upstairs neighbours, do feel free to start hammering away like that while I am all headachey and grumpy.

via Echofon

@KellySibson I did not. Went for a long walk instead.

via Echofon

@nitsohara But that will be redeemed by the £300 in loose change in your pockets. Or is that just a bloke thing?

via Echofon in reply to nitsohara

@rosamundi @ajjmcd If we make the pre-roll long enough, people might get bored and never drive. Problem solved.

via Echofon in reply to rosamundi

spyou Why would you set your alarm clock on a Monday? Maybe because you’re a Bristol Freelancer?? meetup.com/Bristol-Freela…

@spyou I keep on meaning to drag myself out for this. Kate in Baristas told me I’d probably enjoy it. But. 8AM. Hard sell!

via Echofon in reply to spyou

@MandinaM That is quite possible. I’m sure half the time I don’t remember things because I wasn’t really “there” when they were happening.

via Echofon in reply to MandinaM

@MandinaM Camera? Diary? Maybe you need a LiveJournal :)

via Echofon in reply to MandinaM

@MandinaM No, just put some kind of support system in place for remembering things. I use technology to prop up my crap memory :)

via Echofon in reply to MandinaM

@Phooto @ahnlak Also, credit where it’s due, MS are heading in right direction with IE. IE9 actually renders pretty damn well.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto @ahnlak It’s easier to test web stuff in a virtual machine on the same box as the web server, so I use VirtualBox on second monitor.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto @ahnlak I actually have it installed on two out the three Macs in the house. The Air is a little small for two OSes.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@hayles I am significantly less enamoured with the idea of going outdoors now than I was this morning. And the fresh air gave me a headache.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@kevin Isn’t that a fireplace? I thought they were meant to do that?

via Echofon in reply to kevin

@ahnlak At least my nightmares will all be well-engineered and reassuringly expensive.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak No kittens were harmed by the enhancement of my karma. I did install Windows on a Mac, though; that’s probably worse, karmically.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

If it hadn’t been redeemed slightly by the nice person who served me a macchiato, I might actually consider becoming a hermit.

via Echofon

Social interactions today: laughed at by carful of dolts, chased down road by shouty beggar, shop girl with awful breath.

via Echofon

Is that a “thing”? Have I just been insulted? This is why I don’t like going outside.

via Tweetbot for iOS

Someone in a passing car just hooted at me, made eye-contact, then tapped the bottom of his chin with his finger. His friends laughed.

via Tweetbot for iOS

I hate anti-piracy pre-rolls. But there may be a place for 30-second reminder, every time you start a car, about USING THE BLOODY INDICATORS

@thekarleighshow Because cosmetics companies aren’t going to let a footling little thing like perfection get in the way of selling stuff?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to thekarleighshow

Just passing the zoo. Tempted to wander in and hang out with the monkeys and meerkats for a while.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@MsLisaRogers That’s normal for me when I’m well.

via Echofon in reply to MsLisaRogers

I am going for a wander. When I get back, I am going to build a crane. instagr.am/p/HL5T48pC_N/

Having a very lazy day. May have to wander out for a walk, though.

@asic69 am now singing that to the tune of “John Kettley is a Weatherman”…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to asic69

@hayles Just posted Instagram pic of the Facebook post of the blog announcement of my new tweet. I’ve scheduled it to go out hourly today.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

@EyOki Happy pre-birthday :)

via Tweetbot for iOS

Lie-in. Toast, eggs, bacon. Coffee. Sunshine. Today is working pretty well so far.
