@tsunimee Heh. Computers. Little bastards.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Cool. Definitely worth a try when PCs have their knickers in a twist.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Hrm. When did you last reboot the computer?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Hrm. Well, that all looks fine. Apart from the penis. Damn it.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee When you start seeing stars. (Really! You should see what I mean, I hope…)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee (Your scary results will look different from my scary results, and that’s nothing to worry about.)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Now “tracert instagr.am”, and gently tap return. It should slowly give scary technical-looking results. skitch.com/e-gothick/8tjt…

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Well, that’s a good start. Your computer definitely knows where instagr.am is.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee (And yes, I’m afraid Skitch is a Mac app.)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee You may gently caress return instead, if that helps.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Kewl. Into scary box, type “nslookup instagr.am”, then hit return, and grab screen for me. skitch.com/e-gothick/8tjq…

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee It’s the “Search programs and files” box, if that helps.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee That should get you a scary black window.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Cool. First, we kick off a command window. Hit the main Windows menu, then type “cmd” in box & hit retuskitch.com/e-gothick/8tjp…DdT2

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Right, sweetarina, are you in front of your PC with five minutes to spare?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee *You* are never the problem.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee I think it’s Windows that’s the problem.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Sorry, no, I’m trying to start Windows here so I can talk you through doing something, but it’s very unhappy with me :)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@lilythepurr Sadly, mine are the other way around, which is probably why I’m tubby.

via Echofon

@tsunimee What version of Windows are you running?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee What does Chrome say, exactly?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee …and works in Safari and Chrome for me, too. Do you get an error message?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@Gt3b You try smiling in a self-portrait and see how sincere it comes out!

via Echofon

@tsunimee Pricey for IKEA stuff, but it’s solid and heavy and well put together. And if you ding the shade it rings like a bell :)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Me too. IKEA “Barometer”.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@pearcafe If I’d found a hot cross bun today, maybe I would be. I only ventured as far as Somerfield, who’d forgotten it was Easter.

@tsunimee @ahnlak Behold my incredibly tidy workspace. Not. Left: 1920x1080. Right: 1440x900. (This time, *with* pic!) pic.twitter.com/hdJQpidU

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@BenPark But I agree with whoever in that article said it made more sense to block only the end of the street where the cafes are.

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Basically, they’ve had ugly barriers that are being replaced by telescoping bollards at the WHSmith corner.

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark It does seem more sensible to block it on the corner where those fences are, and *not* the end where bollards are going in, though.

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Yeah. Like I say, I dunno. But as I generally use the cafes but not the furniture shops, it works for me, at least :)

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@Thehappyfatgirl Not now, dear; I’ve got a headache.

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@BenPark …that might attract more people who wouldn’t have looked down there. Dunno, though.

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark I’d think that now it’s set up with cafe tables out in the street (that’s only started happening last few weeks)…

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark Depends how much people collect, I guess. I never saw anyone load a car there, but that’s not exactly statistically significant!

via Echofon in reply to BenPark

@BenPark It’s being made permanent, I think. Lots of roadworks at end of street still; not sure exactly how it’ll end up.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@BenPark There’s always been car access to the end; it’s now completely blocked off: pic.twitter.com/3JOWxtN9

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

@ahnlak Yup. It’s mostly youngsters that do it, you’re right :D

Pedestrianising the bit outside Clifton Arcade creates a nice new chilled-out bit of Clifton Village. Ace. pic.twitter.com/Gsu5jQK1

via Tweetbot for iOS

Ouch. Did I just confuse “your” and “you’re”, or was it autocorrect? Bad Matt!

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Rosemarino1 No need for apologies! Not you’re fault I’m wandering round with a hangover and very little grasp of time :) Next time!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Rosemarino1

Bless you, Primrose Cafe. Breakfast on the way :)

via Tweetbot for iOS

Damn. Denied a late lunch in Rosemarino. If I’d known they stopped serving at 3 I’d have moved faster!

via Tweetbot for iOS

@tsunimee @ahnlak Dunno, I’d have to check at home. But it’s an iMac with an HP 19” monitor next to it.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Yes. But I wouldn’t want to use it all the time. I normally work at home on non-laptop; the lappy’s for cafe use, couple hours max

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to tsunimee

@KirstyHigginson Oh, gawd, yes. But you are quite a long way away. I may have to stick to original plan and clamber up the hill to the cafe.

via Echofon in reply to KirstyHigginson

@tsunimee Some of us only have an 11” laptop

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

Think I may need to go buy hot cross buns.

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes Oop, yep, sorry. Post-party recovery day :)
