The actual sound of the night glow seems really quiet this year. Odd.

There is a giant pair of green Y-fronts flying over Bristol. Funny old world.

@BlackDogDays I thought it was mostly tethered today?

Wonder if I should wander out on the off-chance of the odd balloon or two drifting past?

@says_arline Oh, it was back then. These are the *new* lock gates.

Ever wondered what was beneath all those weathered steel covers, working the lock gates? pic.twitter.com/wk6aJk658j

@jakepjohnson my usual goal is to get around without walking.

Damn it. Pretty sure I’ve left it too late to be in good enough shape to do this year’s Bristol half marathon :(

tomscott I made a thing! I was angry on a train, and dealt with it in a very British way. The Quiet Carriage Proficiency Test: tomscott.com/quietcarriage/

@shleyWard …which gets snow and a Santa hat icon for the Christmas period.

@shleyWard I don’t think I’ve done any comedy in released apps. Though there still a support tool out there, apparently, …

Oh, I see. Mail from MySpace about someone updating their profile. Follow link to turn emails off. Forces you to update your profile first.

@ahnlak (Also, all it needed was “port install xv”, as it turned out…)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak I got up late. This is my normal pre-work pissing around, just time-shifted by an hour and a half.

Aww, bless, reproduced, more than 20 years later. I remember laughing out loud at this button, first time round. pic.twitter.com/PUNOx3x1jY

Aww! And it still runs! Hands up those 1990s geeks whom this makes instantly nostalgic. pic.twitter.com/fpLz9KYmNv

Ah, of course, it was xv. Which it seems is actually still going. Or at least still has a website… trilon.com/xv/

@dangusset @gottfired I think my favourite was “Invalid file handle, dickwad”, but that never made it past a customer demo (not mine!)

via Echofon in reply to dangusset

Which X graphics editor had the error message “Bummer!” when it couldn’t open a file? *dredges faulty memory*

via Echofon

Ah, but it’s a plugin author, not Adobe. That probably explains its longevity.

via Echofon

Bless. That error’s been in Photoshop since at least 2003 :) moonmac.com/Macking90.html

via Echofon

gottfired Best error message ever. I’m surprised this got through Adobe’s QA pic.twitter.com/9iinLwqVFo

@tweetbot Seems okay most of the time. I think it’s when I’ve accidentally started things moving horizontally first that I get stuck.

@timmaughan Surely that would be a blueing toothpaste?

@christianrt Just be careful of those tram lines when you’re pissed-cycling. My elbow can still remember the pain. *winces*
