@codepo8 …but I suppose every language has its idioms that must just be learned.

@codepo8 As a fairly recent learner of CSS, using IE’s conditional comments makes it more obvious what’s going on, and is easier to Google.

@Easybourne Given my timeline, I doubt you’re alone. I’ve been watching NCIS repeats, and I feel massively productive in comparison.

@Dan_Martin You’re expecting them to answer the phone? Never did when I had outrageous council tax cock-ups.

@opsGordon Ooof. Well, that gets my vote for “least likely thing the final version will end up doing.” Hrm.

@fritzromanov @Debbiegreeneyes I watched that one live, and I’m *still* cringing.

@chris_j_hughes You know, I might have guessed that.

“I challenge you to distinguish a naked prostitute from any other naked woman”. What, they just turn up, naked? Odd. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

@parryphernalia No. “Windows” includes “win”. Proof by counterexample.

via Echofon in reply to parryphernalia

Installing Windows. Again. I’m so happy.

@sowerbyandluff This has you guys written all over it. RT @MShapland: Dear Britian. We are a fucked up nation: upi.com/Odd_News/2012/…

Whenever Windows asks me a security question, I like to say “You bet your *ass* I wish to pro-ceed” as I click “yes”.

@drewm I lean towards either sox or Permute, depending on how batchy I want to be. (Also, my sources aren’t mp3…)

via Echofon in reply to drewm

@drewm Apologies. Thing I’m using (SoundManager 2) falls back to Flash in FF. Guess I will need those OGGs after all. *rolls up sleeves*.

via Echofon in reply to drewm

@drewm Ah, possibly not. Currently moving a site from handcoded HTML5 to WordPress-with-a-plugin; will have to investigate what it’s doing.

via Echofon in reply to drewm

@drewm My Firefox (10.0.2) seems quite happy to play mp3s. Are you on a pre-emptive strike of some kind, or does it differ by platform?

@hayles Then slam the frying pan back down on the hob. Job done.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Hrm. Pancake/tequila mashup. Could work…

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Haven’t you forgotten a key ingredient? Where’s the lemon juice, eh?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@moonbeatle Not only do I do that, I also do not have a baby.

via Echofon in reply to Tigerlillyquinn

@hayles ACTUALLOL. I’m not sure I’ve got the hang of Shrove Tuesday, either. Just bought butter and sugar in preparation for pancakefest.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

Goodness, it’s deigned to finally boot up. Well, I’m sorry, Windows, but I’m too busy “self-updating” to type anything now.

via Echofon

@hayles Of course, you’re going to save them until after Lent, right?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@R2UK @minibreakmummy I have heard a lot of bad things about eBay being stuffed with scammy buyers when it comes to selling hot tech.

via Echofon in reply to therutharnold

On the other hand, rather bemused that they’re now playing _Fairytale of New York_. Erm.

Gusto has much better music than that Costa had the other day. Currently tapping foot to The Hold Steady’s cover of _Crawl Out Your Window_.

@alfredapp When viewing a Contact in Alfred, is there an easy way to open that Contact in Address Book? Ta!

@DanRebellato It’s doing them longhand, with its tongue sticking out. It wants you to be proud, daddy.

via Echofon in reply to DanRebellato

@ghostfinder If I’m writing prose or doing complicated programming, I can’t even have music with lyrics playing.

via Echofon in reply to ghostfinder

@hayles But it’s worth it for the (first and) third reply to the article.
