@ahnlak This is true. And also the reason why the “middle of next week” is surprisingly manager-free.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Assuming it results in enough money, yes. At least it’s fun-frustration, rather than wanting-to-punch-a-manager frustration.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak I am, sadly, very unlikely to be bored at any point soon. Frustrated, yes, but lacking in work, no…

@Mouse_House These things are not that obvious. I thought of it because it’s what I use (beside my bedroom cabinet, funnily enough…)

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House No problem. The other solution is clunkier, but cheaper and probably still useful in 20 years’ time: maplin.co.uk/1-way-2m-exten…

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House This is not an unusual environment for a Mouse, but I imagine it’s not that ergonomic long-term.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@Mouse_House This is the one I got from the Maplin on Gloucester road. maplin.co.uk/usb-2.0-extens…

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@ahnlak Sure? I think I prefer your site in pink and orange, now I’ve done it.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Let me just give Alex a bell.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@Mouse_House Because the Mac you must obviously also own will have its USB port right on the desktop where you need it.

@ahnlak *whistles while he edit’s Pete’s site’s overridden CSS directly from the live site* skitch.com/e-gothick/8den…

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Yes, dear. But I’m not sure I’d swap it for my current CSS-editing experience. skitch.com/e-gothick/8deb…

@ahnlak Hrm. “Doctor! My foot hurts!” “Have you considered not shooting yourself in it quite so often?”

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @davidpatrick Yup, it’s the same in both Chrome and Safari, as that bit’s basically just webkit.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak You not got syntax highlighting on what you’re using? My first sanity check is always whether my keywords are the right colo(u)r!

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@davidpatrick @ahnlak …Then Develop->Show Web Inspector.

via Echofon in reply to davidpatrick

@davidpatrick @ahnlak Safari->Preferences->Advanced->Show Develop menu in menu bar.

via Echofon in reply to davidpatrick

@davidpatrick The WebKit Inspector is built right in, and covers quite a lot of it.

via Echofon in reply to davidpatrick

@ahnlak Ah, yes. Poor deprived boy. CSSEdit, which is Mac-only. Although these days, I can often just work it out by staring hard.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@Mouse_House Even if they do, a generic USB extension lead would probably be cheaper.

via Echofon in reply to mousedogbaby

@ahnlak It’s been ages since I’ve used Firebug.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@opsGordon Ta. My only test box at the moment is a white Intel MacBook that’s apparently below the minimum ML spec :(

via Echofon in reply to opsGordon

@opsGordon That seems sadly unlikely. Is Safari still going to at least “discover” RSS feeds? Or has it gone the way of Chrome?

via Echofon in reply to opsGordon

@nineweeks They would have surveyed me, but I was too busy eating pizza and chips to answer the door.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to nineweeks

@BlackDogDays You fitted two of them in hand luggage? ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS

@opsGordon Did you ever read feeds in those anyway? NetNewsWire man, myself. I’d guess most people read in Google Reader…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to opsGordon

@Jorence The Speaker? Yes, it was a bit odd. I wonder whether there’s a small town called Bristol in his constituency.

via Echofon

Hrm. Is there a multilingual plugin that’s *not* going to make me swear lots?

via Echofon

@BradleyLaw Also handy for use as a substitute bath while the normal one is being plastered.

via Echofon in reply to BradleyLaw

@ollieflips “You’re gonna need a bigger… er. Aeropress.”

via Echofon

@BradleyLaw I’m about to try making my first cup of tea in it. If I don’t tweet again, send a burns unit and a SCUBA team.

via Echofon in reply to BradleyLaw

@boagworld (I’d say it should be id=”shameful”, on the grounds you should only be allowed to do that once per page :D )

via Echofon

I read the source of @boagworld’s site to check out his <li> styling, and found a confessional comment wrapped in <span class=”shameful”> :)

via Echofon

@bexxi Which is what it’s generating, bearing in mind I have nowhere to put it. I need to move house now.

via Echofon in reply to bexxi

@kayliemansfield I’m not convinced it’s actually a mug. It may be a swimming pool.

via Echofon in reply to kayliemansfield

Sport Direct sent me a free mug with my new shorts. I think it’s bigger than my kettle. pic.twitter.com/pFd9NbxY

@cowrin @2MuchApplePie I recommend the creation of Scotland’s largest trampoline, for safety purposes.
