@stillawake Yes. Yes, it is. And not bad, even if I say so myself. :)

@Thehappyfatgirl I’m cooking for Emm. Who is now prodding me at dating sites. I think she’s trying to marry me off.

@KaveyF @Bristolvor There was a cauliflower cheese amped up with bacon, with asparagus, and an apple and blackberry crumble.

@domwakeling It was the new doobry whatsit I was using.

@domwakeling (Mostly due to bugs in the OSX X11 at the time, mind; it was just after an OS release. But it still put me off.)

via Echofon in reply to domwakeling

@domwakeling I’ve avoiding installing X11 so far on this Mac. And Gimp and Inkscape were nightmarish under it last time I tried.

@guriben @wood5y Given that I’m on O2 and 3, I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or not :D

@guriben @wood5y I long for the innocent days of yore, where ICMP requests could roam unhindered across the green valleys of the internet.

@guriben It got four hops into C&W before it stopped echoing, if that helps.

via Echofon in reply to guriben

I really don’t think life should be this complicated.

Firing up Windows to use Inkscape to convert a Google-provided Adobe Illustrator file for use in Sketch on my Mac to do Android marketing.

via Echofon

@guriben Well, I’ve got a Debian box here too, but it’s headless. Actually, I could install the Windows Inkscape on this testing VM…

via Echofon in reply to guriben

@guriben I’ve got vector graphics editor I love, but it doesn’t import from Illustrator; installing Inscape just to convert seems OTT.

via Echofon in reply to guriben

@guriben Yeah, but it’s a last resort as it means installing X11, which I’ve managed to survive without so far.

via Echofon in reply to guriben

Apple helpfully use SVG for their vector App Store marketing badges. Google use Illustrator for theirs, damn it. *hunts for non-Adobe thing*

@claireellent No, I was named after the singer. Not many people know his full name was Aubergine Pitney, mind.

via Echofon in reply to claireellent

@claireellent One of my many middle names is “Aubergine”.

@Thehappyfatgirl Clearly my usual decision to cave at the first offer of chips is a poor strategy.

@Whatleydude Can you just put the writing away for 24 hours and have another look? That’s a good substitute, if you’ve not got an editor.

via Echofon in reply to Whatleydude

@wood5y @libbymiller I know it’s happening already.

via Echofon in reply to wood5y

@wood5y @libbymiller Given what I know about computers, I still think we’re better off with humans for at least another fifty years…

@claireellent *Puts on another hat or two* *Runs for Emperor*

via Echofon in reply to claireellent

@wood5y @libbymiller Whereas computers have no reputation for flakiness at all, of course :D
