@thomasvenables I’ll try!
@thomasvenables It is indeed ace. Hoping the weather warms up soon so I can listen to the bit about gardens in a garden…
@benjohnbarnes I think you may be overestimating my deviousness. I just asked my phone to update, and it did.
@benjohnbarnes Don’t be sarcastic at Apple at the moment, I’m installing iOS 5.1. They might turn me off in the middle.
@hayles If this is news to you, I’m rather insulted that you didn’t read my previous 23,029 tweets.
.@jcroft Confirmed here in my living room — new software running on current Apple TV. Just downloaded the update. pic.twitter.com/Rx7ReCRb
I have returned home, only two-and-a-half sheets to the wind. And avoiding the Pump House, luckily for my wallet.
@Bristol_Culture @BlackDogDays Huzzah!
A hand held over a candle in angst-fueled bravado. #lyrics instagr.am/p/H4XBvcJCxd/
Bill Bryson’s _At Home_ is really good.
@utterben I am replete with Gentleman’s Logic. And booze.
@rabidbee There’s probably enough books on here to last me to retirement :)
@rabidbee yup. *Awful* weather over here. pic.twitter.com/8h07PhNu
@BlackDogDays Not sure I can afford to be waylaid by the Pump House. Love the food, but it’s better with (a) company, and (b) steady income!
What? Rain!? Damn. I may have to have another pint.
@BlackDogDays @Bristol_Culture last time I was there, there was just an empty rectangle with pulled-off-glue marks.
@faerietalefoody @hayles @FoodStories Woah. Someone make that and bring it to me. I’ll wait.
@BlackDogDays Probably just as well you can’t. I’m only about a pint away from the “I LOVE YOU MATE NO REALLY I LOVE YOU” stage.
@Bristol_Culture Has the sign been put back up on There and Back Again Lane yet?
@BlackDogDays I have now had three pints of the guest beer, and am glad I haven’t been working on anything important for the last two :)
@BlackDogDays Yup!
Do any of my foodie friends have a carrot cake recipe for @hayles?
@KaveyF @KSalty I am not thinking about running at the moment. Bath Half Marathon on Sunday. #aaaaargh

Right. Nuff werk. Swapping the laptop for the Kindle.
benhorsleyco I think the new iPad should be a quarter of the size, and able to make phone calls.
@hayles Yeah. Think about Battenberg for me.
@rabidbee I’m guessing that it is, so I’ll be able to tell you for sure in a few days :)
@KellySibson It’s pretty damn good here. But my waistline wouldn’t cope with doing it every day.
Turns out that not even programming on a boat in the sunshine with a beer makes the Android emulator less annoying.

@hayles So, for £33.64 per month, you can get Photoshop for a year, and it’ll always be the latest version.
@hayles But I’m still just using Acorn and Pixelmator, and Sketch for vector stuff.
@hayles The subscription prices aren’t actually *devastating*, but it depends how much use you’re going to get out of it.
@BenPark It doesn’t creep me out. But I generally prefer avatars to be the actual people.
@ChinaShopBull There is jazz playing, and everything.
Teensy bit self-indulgent for the day’s final programming session ;) @ The Grain Barge instagr.am/p/H4BQCQJC_D/
@benjohnbarnes They seem unlikely to add anything that would suddenly make me want one.
@nixgeek I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that @hayles sometimes passes close enough to throw things at me from the bus.
Hello, busy Centre. instagr.am/p/H33rq_JC9t/
Kinda hoping this is one night that’s *both*. #Bristol #byzantium pic.twitter.com/iGe7F6Vk
@crookedfootball But I was talking about Lightroom in general, there.
@crookedfootball It’s still downloading. I can’t imagine it not being, though.
Right. New version of Lightroom on its way. Download or physical package, it’s a very fine product for a decent price.
@hayles Downloads taxed from hosting country, shipments taxed from receiving/paying country, maybe? Some odd rules, I guess.
Aaaah. Thanks, @Squonk. Actually, it might be a tax thing. The download version is 23%, which, I think, is the current *Irish* VAT rate?
@hayles I’m starting to suspect that the download is taxed at 23% VAT, which is the Irish rate.
@Squonk @KaveyF My arse. They just figured out that people would pay more to get it now rather than waiting for shipping.
@KaveyF Oh, I understand them charging me. It’s Adobe, so the answer is “Because we can, losers.” I just don’t think the difference is VAT.
@bexxi As in, the ones that had to be amputated? That would put me off…
Adobe charge more for download than for a shipped box. But why is it only the VAT that changes? skitch.com/e-gothick/88hg… skitch.com/e-gothick/88hg…
@talkie_tim The terrors of night
Thin and pale compared to a

@meemalee *random get well wish*
Hrm. Wonder if buying Lightroom 4 will encourage me to look through my stupidly big backlog of unprocessed photos?
Bleurgh. Tired, headachey and it’s cold and grey outside. *drinks coffee*
