@Mouse_House Yeah. I was doing some cool stuff, way back. But it also reminded me how long it’s been since I had a girlfriend. Bah.

@Mouse_House It’s only recently been rolled out.

Okay, that wasn’t so bad. Just mundane. My first tweet, 1 Mar 2007: “Nattering on Skype with Caz.” twitter.com/gothick/status…

Downloading my Twitter archive. Shudder to think what my first few tweets were…

I suppose I should probably have dinner first, though.

Right. This little app is now ready for a 1.0 release. Time to write a website.

@Phooto @ahnlak Not a bad thought, but it doesn’t make the phone make a noise if it’s on “vibrate”. Find My iPhone does, cleverly enough…

If you hate your designer, make an Android Service. With the different resolutions and API levels, you need at least 12 fiddly little icons.

via Echofon

@ahnlak Where’s the fun in that? Also, in this flat there’s no guarantee there’s a phone signal. The WiFi’s good, though.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@utterben Fuck. I knew there was something I forgot to buy earlier on.

I just used iCloud’s “FInd my iPhone” to play a sound on my phone to locate it. Turns out is was in the other pocket from normal.

via Echofon

Did whoever designed this latest iTunes even *try* it in Full Screen? Constantly having to move around all extreme screen edges to do stuff.

via Echofon

Hrm. Wonder if I can get this finished this evening? *hunkers down*

@stillawake I’m trying hard to resist an obvious reply here.

@WebHoundette The best I could manage at short notice was “kumquat”. I like “q”s.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to WebHoundette

So there now exists a photo of me holding up a little blackboard with “kumquat” written on it, with a slightly forced smile v

Nice man called Sheridan asked if he could take a photo of me with my favourite word on the way into town, for a photo project.

Just seen a delivery by pedalpowertransport.co.uk . Cool. Not sure I’d want that job in Bristol, mind.

via Echofon

Right. Time for a nice walk home before my back seizes up.

@domwakeling That 2hrs 19 is still about a half hour faster than I’ve ever managed to do one…

Now in the Birdcage with a pot of Smoky Russian Caravan for an hour or so’s work. instagr.am/p/VwQkHFJC8U/

RichNeville @gothick I’m just going to quickly phone someone about this tweet.

Just paid @SourdoughCafe with @BristolPound’s TXT2PAY thingy. Glad I got it right; it was my first time!

St Nick’s is really busy. I’ve been quite insular the last few weeks. Forgot the world was still happening whether I was there or not.

via Twitter for Android

Someone just walked past making a phone call about someone favouriting a tweet. You understand why I had to tweet about that, right?

via Tweetbot for iOS

Oops! Forgot to stop @Runkeeper last night. Just reminded me by telling me I’d done 7km in 16 hours. Well, it’s a new personal record…

via Tweetbot for iOS

Heading into town for lunch. Glad it’s stayed sunny!

@ahnlak And I am now the proud owner of meditationchimer.com. Which I suppose I should make a website for. *sigh*

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak Nope. I left the naming to the last minute so I could go with whatever was free.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

Buying a domain.

via Echofon

@charlie_cat_esq Hrm. Or maybe not. I did start working for myself so I could make my own rules… *considers rearranging day*

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@charlie_cat_esq Well, I’ll be at my desk for a couple of hours yet. With all that tempting sunshine just outside.

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@charlie_cat_esq I’d rather hit up Sourdough Cafe. I want to buy some flowers, too, and they’re opposite the flower stall.

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@derekarridge Well, me too, but Android’s the platform I know best, programming-wise. Will probably do a version for iPhone for practice.

@derekarridge Well, I have this really simple timer app. But you’re an iPhone user, yes? I’m doing this for Android, at least at first.

via Echofon in reply to derekarridge

@charlie_cat_esq I just had scrambled eggs on toast, I think I can survive until lunch.

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@charlie_cat_esq To be fair, I’ll probably just walk in along the harbour for lunch in St. Nick’s. And try to avoid Grain Barge on way back!

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@derekarridge …I keep hearing advice that it’s best to release something simple that works and then improve it later, once it’s live.

via Echofon in reply to derekarridge

@derekarridge My plan in the long run is for it to be a more complicated meditation timer, but…

via Echofon in reply to derekarridge

@derekarridge It’s a very simple meditation timer.

via Echofon in reply to derekarridge

@charlie_cat_esq I’m going to get drunk and ride a dog.

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@charlie_cat_esq Sadly or happily, depending on whether I want to get any work done today, she’s in the Lake District at the moment.

via Echofon in reply to CharlieEsq_

@charlie_cat_esq This is exactly the weather where I get phone calls from a certain friend where she just shouts, “SUNSHINE! BEER! HARBOUR!”

@emmafurious …but I’m guessing not that relevant to your requirements.

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

@emmafurious My only personal experience with Totterdown was that I used to go to the Bristol Karate dojo there, which was ace.

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

@emmafurious Though I’m less about schools and more about “Hey! It’s like Bedminster, only there are *views*!”

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

@emmafurious That’s one of the areas I’m considering, too.

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

@emmafurious Given that I’m considering doing the reverse, I’m not sure. But neither of the areas I’m talking about are very bad.

via Echofon in reply to emmafurious

rem Meteor videos are clearly fake: I didn’t see one single car doing a backflip or explode which EVERY other Russian car footage CLEARLY shows.
