hackery Just requested @UKTesco password reset & had email with my actual password in it - still storing unencrypted, in this decade?

@DomUtton For those of us not in the newspaper industry, is there any chance of explaining what that RT means in fewer than 140 characters?

@Lillput @andybeebristol Got an appointment in Ashley Down finishing about 12:15, but will be driving so should be able to make town for 1?

@hayles @nickbrompton Thank you. It was quite fun to do, too :)

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@Phooto Nope, these are size 10 American, 43 1/3 European. Same as my Mizunos.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Ta. Yur, though I can’t be sure it’s not just certain sizes they’ve buggered up. Actual shop definitely best idea.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Shoe review. Executive summary: I think they’ll be good on the touchline, but sizing leans towards small side. mattgetsrunning.com/2012/02/23/rev…

I have just blogged about shoes. But rugged, manly shoes, he said, insecurely. Adidas Kanadia 4 review: mattgetsrunning.com/2012/02/23/rev…

@moonbeatle Write it now, don’t send it, re-read it in the morning.

via Echofon in reply to Tigerlillyquinn

Taking shape. Need a short break for dinner before finishing, though! instagr.am/p/HcHl_jJCzJ/

@neilhimself My last jog was wet and chilly, and I still enjoyed it. I can never tell what it’s going to be like in advance. Get out there!

@hayles Well, *that* didn’t take long.

@stillawake Ah. I ended up on the Downs. With a Chandos baguette. Oops.

@jamesclay No idea. Doesn’t normally happen. And this is showing up in my (synced by cable) episode list, not trying to download it.

Hrm. This week’s Hypercritical is greyed out on my phone. Episode too long for a 3GS to cope with? :) @5by5 pic.twitter.com/LWz9t4qS

@benjohnbarnes (And also for the donation. Not sure what a dontation is, but it sounds like it should be the opposite…)

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes Thanks for the dontation! Much appreciated :)

Oooh. New hard drive has arrived. I can actually have two drives in my RAID thingy now, which is probably sensible.

via Echofon

@KaveyF Ah, yes, forgot to delete my cache. Try again.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF IT LOOKS GREEN. I am hoping it is mint.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF Sweet! Except it might be pistachio. Urgh.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF @ahnlak But if you can do 16x16 icons by hand, do it. And I might want to hire you to do some for me, too. I hate tiny icon design.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF @ahnlak e.g. this one’s good, and handles transparency properly, too. tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF @ahnlak By default, a browser will use its own default icon if it can’t find one, but for anyone who’s visited your page before…

via Echofon

@KaveyF @ahnlak Ah. No, there is no default icon unless one’s been supplied by your theme designer.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak I don’t think you’ve got a favicon on the new site (i.e. I don’t think it’s a caching problem, I think it’s actually not there.)

via Echofon

@ahnlak @chocablog @KaveyF If not, set up a redirect now do I don’t have to do any work myself in the morning :) Night dears!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @chocablog @KaveyF Good plan. I will look for shiny new site in the morning. Make sure your RSS feeds still work!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@KaveyF @chocablog @ahnlak …which effectively says, “you can cache this address, but only for this long.”

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak Damn useful when you put a new site live; you can get a sneak peek before the TTL catches everyone else up ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to ahnlak

@Queenzozo I really don’t think I could do it. Know someone else that did, and she said it was a pretty awful gig, too.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Queenzozo

@KaveyF @ahnlak if you’re desperate, switch to OpenDNS; you can refresh their cache on demand. And yeah, favicons *are* weirdly cached.
