Fixin’ stuff. *sounds of frenzied typing*
@Seej500 Before that, it’s not so handy.
@Seej500 It’s dead handy when you want to start deriving your own custom classes, and need to know what the base classes are doing.
@BradleyLaw Make sure you pay the “second rotor upgrade supplement” on the Ryanair Chinook.
@Seej500 Well, maybe you’ll have better luck. Definitely worth it, especially if you can make it easily searchable.
@Seej500 If you think the Eclipse & SDK install is a bitch, wait until you want to download the source. Took me *days*.
@nickbrompton @Bristol52 I hope the costume fits. At least the tiara will go with your eyes.
@ShabbyBean Sad bean. *hug*
Found a gap in the rain. Nipped out and jogged 10K :D runkeeper.com/user/gothick/a…
Heading out. Please make sure it doesn’t rain for the next 90 mins. I’m good for the money if you need to sacrifice a chicken, or anything.
@mhoulden What would it take to make a second sign that says “Do not poke fun at the pointlessness of the other warning sign”?
@hayles Dunno. It’s obviously a plus that it’s undercover, but it doesn’t look very inviting from the outside. And it feels a bit isolated.
@hayles I was going to go in and see if I could get a coffee yesterday, but there was a film crew recording something in the doorway.
Pretty good turnout yesterday! (Pic by Mark Stone.) flickr.com/photos/mark-st…

@barney @BenPark (Also heard good things about Also heard good things about freeagent.com, but haven’t tried them personally.)
@barney @BenPark I’m invoicing with freshbooks.com (including paper invoices, which arrive fine in UK.)
I am doing the ironing and watching _Jonathan Creek_. Thought you’d all want to know.

@Jorence Doh! I *told* it to send a photo. Honest. This photo: pic.twitter.com/MQxzLWTV
@Jorence Bacon-free zone here. However:
Wonder if this rain will be pausing at all today. It’d be nicer to run in the dry.
@aka_Kenny Always a pleasure!
@MizzWorthy Netflix for streamy convenience. LoveFilm for actually having more than a quarter of the things I want to watch.
@sidewalkfinds One for you, I think :) instagr.am/p/J-Iv-2pC7P/
In other news, BLOODY HELL IT’S COLD. I might some hot food on the way home. So far today I have had a croissant.
Heading home from the Ostrich after a lovely Bristol Flickr walk :)

Having had a beer too many with @MissEmmeline last night, I may need to get coffee on the way.
misterbooof Changing sheets, got trapped inside clean duvet cover. Split second of sheer panic mixed with April freshness. #lifeinthebuslane
Will be wandering along to the optimistically-titled Flickr “Early Summer” walk in a bit. flickr.com/groups/bristol…
@hayles As you can probably tell, we ended up in Las Iguanas instead. BUT COCKTAILS ARE AWESOME.
Stomping home to the new live version of _Psychonaut_ from Ceromonies. I may be deaf by the time I get in.
At the Folk House, awaiting Phil King and support :) instagr.am/p/J73uTmJC0Q/

@JessTheChemist I’d only end up hole-punching my phone.
@hayles I AM GOING TO WAGAMAMMAS.
Friday afternoon. Everyone else has gone. I have an entire floor of a medium-sized office to myself. I’m going to juggle the hole punches.

@hayles Yeah, but many people think the odds of finding a moving bus in Bristol are small enough to risk :)
@MissEmmeline I really hope someone’s taking our conversation out of context ;D
What should I wear today? *checks weather app* Oh. Right. A house.
Codin’, codin’, codin’.
@stillawake Ta :)
@guriben Good to hear.
@guriben Good. How’s it feeling, overall? The doc was very positive, right?
@hayles I invented cotton.
@guriben Expectedly, I hope?
Rush hour rain instagr.am/p/J4-gSzJCz9/

@hayles @stillawake Ironically, I’ve had lunch twice this week with someone who works in Queen Square, but we’ve not been.
@hayles Yeah. I think the rain and my current two-jobs lifestyle aren’t helping.
@MissEmmeline What’s that? No, don’t remember you mentioning it… :D
*Heh* @MissEmmeline just dropped her umbrella on the Lord Mayor :) #random
@tsunimee @ahnlak @LodzTBB @MidnightDraven Probably because I’ve only used Windows 7 for about 3 hours :) They’re still on XP at work…

DanRebellato When you get off a crowded tube train and push through the commuters, does anyone else repeatedly say “no comment”? Checking for a friend.
@Nose_in_a_book @hayles @Jorence Sadly it didn’t last long. Now at work. *sigh*
@slicknic Not bad for the wallet, either ;) I’m generally quite re-employable, so I must be doing something right.
@slicknic Kinda. Ten-week contract at my previous place of work.
On the plus side, the new Doc Martens I bought for work appear to stand up very well to rain.
@KeithGough1 Ooopsie. Though presumably your station has a roof? I’m bloody soaked.
@MissEmmeline Need to do some work before work. And leaving a bit early because I’m seeing Tara at 5 ;)
Hanging out with the Baristas. @ Baristas Coffee instagr.am/p/J1WlbmpCww/
Ugh. I am waiting in a bus shelter. Not because I need a bus, but because I need shelter. #aprilshowers #commuting #argh
@guriben Your name is in lights! Very, very small lights.
I love the way my timeline swings wildly between optimism and pessimism. pic.twitter.com/H51IFIZp
@stillawake @BlackDogDays Ta :) Just trying to make up for the rubbish excuse for a run I did while hungover on Sunday!
Saw this and decided to run there and back. I have some odd whims these days. Now a bit out of breath :) pic.twitter.com/iC1CoVgB
@Easybourne Yes, but why make users do fiddly system maintenance when it could handle it for them?
@stillawake Er. Is that surprising?
I wish iTunes Match would just keep stuff in the cloud. I just filled my phone’s memory by playing songs all morning.
@Mouse_House Hope it’s going well, Mouse.
@Mouse_House This is not helping to encourage me to try the buses again.
Spiderman just passed me going the other way down Baldwin Street. He seems to be more of a morning person than I am. #bristol
@Jorence *golf clap*
@MissEmmeline This is those mugshots I was talking about t’other day: twistedsifter.com/2011/05/vintag… :D
@tsunimee Well, I have nobody else to fiddle with…
Heh. Going back through old photos and random fiddlings. pic.twitter.com/22Y6G14m
@stillawake Bah. I’m out of town. Sounds right up my street, too.
@Jorence I love it. It’s not entirely fond of me, sadly.
@libbymiller Often spelled “nybble”; it’s half a byte, generally.
@chris_j_hughes @benjohnbarnes But I certainly told said accountant I was happy to pay myself a salary and pay NI. We’ll see…
@chris_j_hughes @benjohnbarnes I’m actually not sure how to manage this morally while handing it all off to an accountant…
@chris_j_hughes Not for a Limited Company, it seems. Well, not with my bank, anyway.
matt_fwyalchen THERE IS A LAD PLAYING ‘SMOKE ON THE WATER’ ON A BANJO. SEND IMMEDIATE HELP! THIS IS A GENUINE MUSIC SHOP EMERGENCY NOT A DRILL.
A twenty-five minute consultation? I want to open a bank account, not get a full medical…
@ollieflips What’s that snapping sound I can hear? Is it the definition of the word “salad” stretching to breaking point?
Just pushed out the first proper beta of Get Running for Android using @Zubhium. Seems to work very nicely!
@hayles You wouldn’t say that if you could see it. For one thing, you’d be too busy dying of high cholesterol levels.
@hayles I think it’s just for Saint George’s Day (and let’s face it, George is more entitled than most to celebrate that one…)
Hrm. @BaristasBristol are selling something George is calling the “Full English Salad”. Never seen a salad with black pudding in it before!
Bristol52 Good morning everyone! This is @hayles, I’m very excited to be starting off things on this account :) How are you this morning?
@hayles It might explain the timetables.
@Thehappyfatgirl Works for me :D
@redlegoman Acorn is also worth a look.
@Thehappyfatgirl Hrm. I’m not sure sharing is going to work out. Maybe we need a team.
Or maybe I’ll just sit here and drink all the cola-flavoured rehydration stuff from my running bottle.
@Thehappyfatgirl Or a manservant. I’m an equal-opportunities employer.
Taking my hangover for a short jog. *sigh*.
@Thehappyfatgirl You too, huh? *stares sadly at ironing pile* Bloody office jobs.
@MitchBenn Ain’t *that* the truth.
@OneLouderApps How do I make Tweetcaster use Twitter’s own image service?
@KaveyF Too late. Apparently they’re quite hard to resist when you’re hung over.
@rabidbee @Dru_Marland @Dichohecho I would always want my jelly babies on sticks to be historically-accurate. #uniquesentence
@tsunimee My thing often pops up as you’re trying to tweet, dear.
@tsunimee Ah. Thought I’d missed some huge controversy over Party Rings, which would have been odd. :D
@tsunimee *looks quizzical*
@hayles Exhibit A via.me/-sdfdio
.@Dichohecho Yup! via.me/-sddgg0
Bonus! Just remembered that I came away from yesterday’s party with a party bag. It has Party Rings in it. And jelly babies on sticks. Win!
@liveindetail How much? Goodness. Funny; reading your tweets I didn’t imagine you as a 17-year-old Impreza-driver.
@StJamesPT I need a hangover-curing nap first, though.
@StJamesPT Yes, it’s not the most encouraging weather out there at the mo, is it?
madeupstats Quite coincidentally, there are 26 men named Miles running in today’s #londonmarathon.
@hannahnicklin That is fab. Well done!
I am a teensy bit hanging. *drinks coffee*
@ShabbyBean Lots of parent-era retro. Good stuff.
@Adamy323 They’re pretty awesome :-)
@MissRacingSnake *Cheering* *Applause* Woo!
I’m back from deepest Gloucestershire. It is nice to see a mobile data signal again.
I am at my oldest friend’s mum’s “when I’m 64” party. It is ACE.
@Dru_Marland @Gibsonianism Terrifying!
@RamonYouseph @theshinythings What’s that? I can barely hear you over the “ook”ing noises.
@utterben Hrm. The internet: blood transfusions and Selfridges… lockerz.com/s/203016683
Gosh, I’m really not cut out for sending mass emails. *writes TextExpander macros* *fiddles with MailChimp*
@MsMottram @liveindetail Excellent idea. I plan to use “with pleasant shade at no extra cost” to describe my basement flat :)
@MsMottram @liveindetail Yes, I am also the owner of a rather jaunty house. Whether it was jaunty originally, in 1763, I’m not sure…
@RamonYouseph It tasted too good to be *that* healthy.
@OpinionatedGeek *snigger*
I have acquired bacon. pic.twitter.com/GLHgEgxQ
@Mouse_House I have a bacon bagel coming. :)
Duck! instagr.am/p/JrenGvpC8C/ (Oh ye of little faith, @Dru_Marland. Cheap tat is universal!)
HE HE HE. @ Clifton Arcade instagr.am/p/JrbSG4JC7V/
@MissEmmeline @SourdoughCafe Much as I would love to grab a shalalalalala I need to save time by staying local today :(
@csoanes Oopsie. So, you’ll mostly be testing out its “slow and careful” features, then?
@Dru_Marland Bon chance!
@MissEmmeline Plus I’ve got a bit of work to do after lunch.
@MissEmmeline Not leaving until around 3pm. Afternoon party.
@RamonYouseph Yup. Which is why I’m also trying to lose a few pounds over the next month. Which is hard, when everyone talks of bacon :)
@Dru_Marland You may be right. But it’s my nearest source of good coffee, so it’s where I’m going. *struggles up hill*
@DrHairbear I may have to.
@RamonYouseph I have extreme breakfast jealousy this morning. Right. I’m off for an early lunch.
@hayles DAMN YOU
@OpinionatedGeek I was mostly being held prisoner first by my bed, and then by my bath. I seem to have escaped now, though.
Right. I am going out for coffee. And to buy a birthday card, and maybe a pressie. If I can find something duck-related in Clifton Village.
@guriben Jeepers.
My timeline is full of bacon (or sausage) sarnies. I had gluten-free corn flakes. I feel somewhat shortchanged.
@Mouse_House Oh yeah! Looked right past it.
@MissEmmeline Well, so far all I’ve done is read a magazine while having a Very Hot Bath, so I can hardly talk.
@Mouse_House Oopsie. I think you may need to borrow a sonic screwdriver and some Elastoplast.
@Mouse_House Is it a good idea to keep the Angel at the back, where nobody can see it?
@MissEmmeline Naughty Emm!
@KirstyHigginson Happy birthday!
Phew. Home after a very busy week in the office. Plus social stuff. Plus getting Get Running for Android ready for beta. *collapses*
@guriben Hoorah!
I predict a bridge swing :) instagr.am/p/Jppk31JCzp/

@DarrenGriffin @getrunningapp Ta! Should start rolling out beta versions sometime in the next five days, depending on the response we get.

@tsunimee @ihavemostlybeen @prettygreentea @drew692 He’s a footballer, right?
@matt_fwyalchen Fairly normal old-fashioned usage, based on “none” being “not one”. Either is fine, I’d say.
@Souterain You have to choose three security questions from a fixed list of quite odd questions. Can’t set your own.
@RamonYouseph Heh! We could both get in trouble here…
I wonder if the barrister would still be a cheap alternative to a professional roofer if he was charging his standard rate…
Heh. House flood status: There is currently a barrister poking in the guttering through an upstairs window with a long pole.
@AndyCarolan I’m fairly sure the answers to many of these will change by the time I need to answer them again. I gave up.
Erm. I was going to buy an app, but I can’t figure out what answers to give for these new Apple security questions.
@KellySibson In the UK there’s extra price factor: the steel-capped are classed as safety boots, so zero-rated for VAT :)
D’oh. Apparently our house is suffering from quite a large leak. Heading home to see if my little basement is affected :(
Passing. instagr.am/p/Jm-vf5pCw4/
@bexxi Heh. No, though I do have DMs. Needed some new practical shoes for work that I could also walk a few miles a day in…
@KaveyF @bexxi There is a CK shop just up the hill from here. Pretty, but not really my kind of thing :)
I now have two pairs of new shoes. Sheltering in BTP until this shower lightens.
