chrisphin Bristolians! Coming through to @grillstock at the weekend. Fancy a gentle, museum/gallery-type activity for afterwards. Suggestions?

@Lithosfear Ta :)
@Saralimback @Dru_Marland I’m guessing there was a scam involving selling tickets to the smashing pumpkins.
@RichNeville …it’s not every day you race a paddle steamer on a bike.
@RichNeville Ta. I like it, but I wish I’d been able to get there quicker and get the settings exactly right. Still…
.@alfredapp could only be better if when I fired it up and typed “erm” it guessed the name of the app I was trying to remember.
@jackkholt Merci.
Oh. Yes. Lunch. I forgot. Toast and jam it is, then.
Think it was a shot worth pedalling for. Nearly didn’t make it; those tugs are faster than I expected. pic.twitter.com/CtjhhDPR6b
@guriben If it’s any help, I am now awaiting another spare part from eBay. These things are trickier to fly indoors than I thought :D

@jeffrock Ah, I’m not Thunderbolted. Swaps easily either way on iMac/external DVI display, though.
@jeffrock 10 seconds? Seems pretty much instantaneous for me. Never noticed it until you mentioned it, though…
In other news, with the addition of a battery from eBay, my £5.99 Oxfam Shop buy from last week is looking good :D youtube.com/watch?v=SRd3V4…

@gracejt68 Be a while. Still in the lock.
@Dru_Marland Ooop! Sorry!
Medway Queen’s in the lock ready to head out :)
So, that’s working well, then… #mavericks pic.twitter.com/sPXVCBeIm0
@PSMedwayQueen @UrsulaWJ @Dru_Marland Oh! Well, that rather coincidentally answers the question I just asked :D
@Dru_Marland D’you think she will be? Still a little weather-dependent, I heard…
@nemof Used to be the ferry stop I used to get to work :)

@wood5y Yup. There are two lines of it — if you can translate it, let me know what it says! Keep on seeing it and wondering…

@hayles @Uber_LDN did you see the cupcake place on Cotham Hill is now split in two, with the other half being a doggy grooming parlour?

@XboxEntertain Hi. Is there a good place to report a bug with the Xbox Music app for Android? Needs to go to the development team. Thanks!
@wood5y I think it’s now turned into XBox Music Live. Which I’m signing up for because someone has a problem using it with Get Running…

I just didn’t link to your article, because your site pops up one of those annoying marketing dialogs in front of it when you go there.

petepaphides Drugs finally took their toll on Lou Reed, according to one newspaper. He’d have died a lot sooner if he had a doughnut habit.
@LouisTrapani I’m already living in the basement of a house on a hill that’s been standing for 250 years. Safe enough :)
@LouisTrapani Not much I can do if it does go out. Might as well sleep through it.
@Mouse_House Well, have a nice safe night, Mouse. See you in the morning.
@Mouse_House No, I really don’t. But if I’m woken up by a beeping UPS at 4am I’ll feel very dumb now I’ve had the thought.
Should I bother unplugging anything that’ll whine if there’s a power cut before I go to bed, I wonder?
@chubbybannister Try saying something ending, “…and I shall wreak my VENGEANCE!” in a hammy Transylvanian accent, then laughing#stormtipip

@tsunimee Dunno. There are popular phrases where it’s usually “easy”, like “rest easy”, “stand easy”. Might be an older form?
@iphonefool *slap*
@sjgower GRR
@LouisTrapani Not one of mine. That is the released version.
Could’ve been worse, mind. This is what happened on Android the last time I got a Flickr photo in Explore: youtube.com/watch?v=rJwBCz…
@R2UK That’s okay, I think I’ve squashed everything but the iPhone now :D
@hayles SO HELPFUL
@LouisTrapani :D

Feck! Forgot the Nexus 7! *Turns more things off*

Anyone know of an app that helps you line up a new photo with one that was taken previously in the same place?
@hayles @_dibdib I liked the Smurfs. But I feel Morrissey’s a bit overrated these days.
I saw that. #subtweet

@BlackDogDays That might explain the latest influx of estate agents’ cards.
@BlackDogDays Nah. Just submitted my accounts so I can sort out mortgage, then I’m kicking things off.
Wow. Just checked after nattering with @BlackDogDays about our houses: mine was built 250 years ago. Feck.
@BlackDogDays Personally, I’d quite like mine to land at Greville Smyth. Save me the hassle of moving…
@BlackDogDays It’s stood up there quite a while up until now, right? :)
Score! I thought, “how would I make a polarisation sensor?”, Googled my idea, and there it already was: ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?…
@BlackDogDays It does feel pretty restless out there. Definitely glad I live in the basement at the mo! :)
@ramez @ChuckWendig (I run because I always liked long walks, and it’s a similar kind of head-space.)
@ramez @ChuckWendig Yeah. It’s about whatever you can end up enjoying enough to still be doing in five years’ time.
That’d presumably be much, much more data than the simple “bucket” from current sensors would catch.
Hrm. Wonder if a camera sensor could record the polarisation of the photons that hit it, allowing you to polarise-filter in post?
chrisfholm @ChuckWendig Running is like the exercise-equivalent of veganism. For some reason, the world always wants to talk you out of it.

Aha. Thought they might be working on some quick Tweetbot 3 changes..tapbots.com/blog/news/twee…Zq
Time for a walk, I reckon
@UrsulaWJ Yeah, but back then there were only three channels, which made it less of an issue :D
Keep on trying to turn down my record player using my Mac’s volume buttons. Unsurprisingly, it keeps on not working.

bbcweather Amber warnings are out for England and Wales in advance of Monday’s #ukstorm. Gusts of 80mph may topple trees and powerlines. Helen W.
@psidnell My commiserations. Shouldn’t be *too* hard, though, right?
@psidnell No? So far, it’s been fine (had it on the laptop since June or July…)
@thekirbylover Oh, *arse*. Sorry, I actually forgot I’d switched back!
@thekirbylover I mean this one: pic.twitter.com/IJRHJw6nMn

@tobyprior @Bristol52 Sourdough cafe or the Moroccan place in St Nick’s.
@MsMottram Been running it on the laptop for months, and it’s been fine. As always, though, if you don’t *need*, maybe wait for a few weeks.

And an honourable mention to my trusty Celestion 3 speakers, also from the 1980s and still going strong.
@slicknic Lovely!
@WTF4Photography @dangusset A literal bay window. Excellent.
@slicknic My turntable’s a cheaparse cut-down one. Couldn’t really justify a full-size for the amount I play. The amp rocks, though.
Also, a shout out to Rotel, whose RA-810A here has been giving sterling service daily since the 1980s… instagram.com/p/f4o5xypC8w/

@hayles I think I’m going back to Tweetbot 2 until the dust settles, to whatever degree it’s going to settle.
@BabsBat Aww, shucks :)
(It’s reassuring that the whole of central Bristol has to flood before my basement starts taking in water…)

@ollieflips Nah, it’s fine, they kept the “mute” feature :D
@artsandwriting Sunday, allegedly. Believe it when I see it.
“Bristol prepares for worst storm in two decades” <— Yup. Charging my camera battery :D
@hayles No. Could live with it if I had my list view back, though. Probably Twitter’s fault; pretty clear they don’t like lists any more :(

@edwardoregan Sigh. I’d love to live in a world where I could just pay Twitter money for the service.
Seems like new Tweetbot doesn’t let you use a list for your timeline. Old Tweetbot let me completely ingrain this into how I use Twitter :(
@tweetbot Hi! How do I swap my timeline to a List view in Tweetbot 3? Thanks!
@1Password Ah! It’s working with a click on the toolbar icon — I’m just used to using Cmd-\, which gives me the error.
