@mradamdubois Me too, but I went for size, rather than speed :)

@benjohnbarnes …drive for beer, rather than pay £50 for something swanky like that. It’s only the spare box.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes Yes, though this would be my first self-administered upgrade-in-place, if you will… Might see if I can get moving-parts…

@mradamdubois I’d be tempted for the main machine, if it wasn’t an iMac…

via Echofon in reply to mradamdubois

@mradamdubois …it would probably be so slow I’d cry.

via Echofon in reply to mradamdubois

@mradamdubois Yeah. I’m thinking so, too. Currently have an Air as main laptop; if I have to go back to physical drive in older machine…

@canofpopcom I was lucky with battery; died out of Applecare warranty but Cabot Circus store took pity and gave me a new one for free.

My “backup” MacBook, currently being lent to a friend, has had its HDD die. Cheap-arse like-for-like replacement, or dip toe in SSD water..?

@aaron23_ I’m really quite surprised how good it’s been, considering it’s “just” an evening class.

via Echofon in reply to destroyordamage

@aaron23_ If I had to name one thing I’d taken away, I’d say “confidence”.

via Echofon in reply to destroyordamage

@aaron23_ …has given us practical exercise after exercise to show that you *can* simply sit down and fill blank pages with good writing.

via Echofon in reply to destroyordamage

@aaron23_ …it’s focused on a few different aspects so far, but fundamentally, it’s put me in a room with an excellent writer, who…

via Echofon in reply to destroyordamage

@aaron23_ I felt generally under-skilled and wasn’t writing enough. I did this course: bristolfolkhouse.co.uk/course.php?cho…

via Echofon in reply to destroyordamage

@aaron23_ I am currently doing one, and it’s been useful and inspirational.

@Thehappyfatgirl I’m averaging. My legs feel about fifty today :)

Obviously, I will be trimming frivolities like electricity before essentials like @BrisBeerFactory’s Independence. *raises glass*

via Tweetbot for iOS

Hrm. My bank account still empties far too fast at the beginning of the month. Time for the next round of financial trimming, I think…

@cabalgata Yeah. Bath Half shirt is a white “one size fits all” shirt this year. I’m scared to try the thing on.

via Echofon in reply to cabalgata

@cabalgata Yeah. And the thing about being a 5’10”, 17-stone runner is that you *know* the T-shirt won’t fit.

@chubbybannister I saw a giant coach contemplating Granby Hill and (thank goodness) thinking better of it on Saturday.

via Echofon in reply to chubbybannister

Looks interesting, but not sure I want to spend £25 on it.

In @BaristasBristol. George has just told me about the Night Terror 6 mile run at Ashton Court on 16th… nightterror.co.uk

@Picklechu This might be why I’ve never been called for jury duty.

via Echofon in reply to Picklechu

No, Matt, *eight* and four makes twelve. I really shouldn’t be allowed to use grid systems.

kellymariestewa I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. Movie rental stores. Payphones. I once used a paper map. All of it lost in time, like tears in rain x

Roight. Leg-stretching walk into town, I think, where I shall do some cafe-based working for a few hours.

@ahnlak It’s not like programming is exactly taxing on the legs, though.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

Hrm. Apart from writing that race report and doing a minor fix to a site, I appear to have taken the morning off. *gets into gear*

@RichNeville I can’t possibly imagine what PC Thich’s nickname is.
