Despite being self-employed and working from home, I will show solidarity with the misery in my timeline by getting up and working tomorrow.

@stillawake Cool. Also: “If at first you don’t succeed, that’s one data point.”

@stillawake Is there an XKCD reader app for Windows Phone? There’s one for iOS that shows you the title text.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@hayles Excellent. I often only hear about the first sequel when numbers three or four come along…

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Cool. (Has there been a sequel? I’ve only seen the original…)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

@hayles Is that a Monsters, Inc. thang?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

@hayles I just got there, too. First time I’ve seen it.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hayles

Gosh. As some point today, I passed the 30,000-tweet mark. Well, I have been on here a while…

@PeteWilliams @PeteWilliams I think it’s since Twitter started doing inline image expansion on the website — doesn’t work well with 2+.

via Echofon in reply to PeteWilliams

@PeteWilliams No. Even in the apps where it looks like you can, only one turns up. Bit odd.

My parents are trying to print a boarding pass. The phrase “as user-friendly as an airline website” is crossing my mind.

@Phooto *Takes off glasses* *Shakes hair out*

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@stillawake And artificially-coloured hair, at that.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@mhoulden I think I prefer your glasses.

via Echofon in reply to mhoulden

@hackery @ahnlak Not sure they should be routeable, being broadcast packets. But I’m sure there’s ways around that.

bathsaints @gothick pretty certain I got off with her on millennium eve ;)

Given the length of hair there, I’d say that would’ve been at about age 19.

via Echofon

@bexxi Things certainly could have been worse. I might never have watched _What Not To Wear_, for starters.

Going through old nostalgia box. Co-workers altered my pass and I got in to major finance company building f instagr.am/p/T85FFAJC9u/

Ninja_lynneja If anyone has any recommended vegetarian recipes please send them my way. Feel free to RT if you have lovely cooks on your lists. Thanks!

Tempted to go buy something *just* because their TV advert said “three hundred and forty nine pounds” rather than “three four nine.”

via Echofon

@RamonYouseph @stillawake I’m on DVD-only pay-as-you-go cheapie LoveFilm at the mo.

@ahnlak Well, I can do it with at least one of mine…

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@Thehappyfatgirl It could be worse. This month I’ll be 40…

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@ahnlak If I can, I should probably improve your firewall while I’m there…

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

I think it may be time to retire brianthedebugger.com before the domain comes up for renewal :D

via Echofon

@RamonYouseph @stillawake This is true, especially as I can easily get Netflix on my actual TV, but not Lovefilm. Hrm. Oh, and yes!

via Echofon in reply to RamonWrites

I’m the kind of person who remembers to update the copyright year in their Lightroom metadata on 1st January. Not sure this is a good thing.

via Echofon

@RamonYouseph Oooh! I was jealous of @stillawake’s Buffyfest last night. Maybe I’ll cancel Netflix and upgrade my Lovefilm.

via Echofon in reply to RamonWrites

@Lillput @andybeebristol Current pair are Merrell (from Mastershoe on Park Street) and they worked very well. Also liked previous Salomons.

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

This was my walking route this morning. It was lush. runkeeper.com/user/gothick/a…

@chubbybannister Yes, I always wonder about that when I see it. Odd.

RichNeville Looking at some old issues of 2000 AD. It’s hard to believe we used to dress like that.

@Bristolvor Oooh, never even heard of them.

via Echofon in reply to Bristolvor

@ShabbyBean Tell him he’s doing it wrong. You’re not meant to take dodgy ribs *to* Millie’s, you know… :D (Hope he recovers well!)

via Echofon in reply to ShabbyBean

I think today’s walk might be the last for my trusty-yet-very-worn walking shoes. Where’s a good place in Bristol to replace them?

via Echofon

@ShabbyBean A&E? Was the Miss Millie’s *that* bad?

via Echofon in reply to ShabbyBean

@zamon Feel free to keep it as long as you like.

@betty_watson Lush. Very optimistic way to start the year!

Happy new year, everyone. I am going for a walk in the sunshine.

via Echofon

Whisky, chocolate and Blake’s 7. There are worse ways of starting a new year.

via Echofon

@stillawake Mmm. Tell you what, this chocolate cigar is AWESOME. (Thank you, @MissEmmeline!)

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

Hrm. More chocolate?

via Echofon

@stillawake Strange way to start the new year, being rude to people on old blog posts. Oh well, no accounting for people’s lifestyles…

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

For nostalgia purposes, looking back through my earliest Morning Pages. Did them for quite a while, apparent instagr.am/p/T7DRPTJC_Y/

via Instagram

@stillawake Yeah, Prosecco on Netflix would be handy :D

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@stillawake Gah. Wish Buffy was on Netflix. Got the urge now, and the current Blake’s 7 DVD just finished…

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@stillawake I think I’ve probably said that quite a lot in my life so far.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@stillawake Well, I have to disagree a little, bear in mind how much IT WAS INFLUENCED BY BLAKE’S SEVEN AAARRRRGH GEEKANGER

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@stillawake NO. IT IS THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION TV SHOW EVER MADE. Ooops, sorry, you tripped my fanaticism circuit.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@stillawake Likewise. Though I’m still on the Blake’s 7, and that’s also the best :D

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@KirstyHigginson It’s New Year’s Day. I’m sure there are plenty of people who would’ve shouted at you for *not* playing it, too…

via Echofon in reply to KirstyHigginson

@stillawake Really need to buy that box set.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

Hrm. LiveJournal is having service issues. And here was me expecting that Twitter would be the fail-whaling one this evening…

Mahoosive chocolate cigar. Win! instagr.am/p/T60ou_pC1b/
