I like working from home, but in autumn, I miss the walk to work. Looks a bit like this. flickr.com/photos/matt_gi… flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…
(It was sort of this: jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicke… only with duck and some other minor changes.)
Well, that turned out pretty well. pic.twitter.com/P01hhwDRiH
@psidnell Hurrah!
Whoo! A 93% increase in revenue! *Goes yacht-shopping* pic.twitter.com/bNv1xOtCml
@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.
rupertg The police came for me as I was using my 3D printer - so I made a bolt for the door
UsVsTh3m Harold Bishop from Neighbours and comedian Ross Noble’s TV romance in GIFS. Yes, you read that right.

@emma_cossey Yeah, me too. Opposite of last year, though. Maybe that’s because it’s not been constantly raining…
@jameshutson Apart from not being able to post a new tweet from there…
#Mavericks tip: If you’ve limited bandwidth, hit System Preferences->App Store and turn off background updates. #osx pic.twitter.com/dqXi3wAWpr
@psidnell Yeah. Worst case, I have a clone backup I can just leave restoring when I go to bed this evening :D #superduper
What do we reckon, folks? Will it be a nice, clear sunny day on Monday? #ukstorm
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
@thekirbylover Settings -> Accounts -> Edit -> drag?
@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.
Time for side 2 already. Wonder if Mavericks’ll have finished installing before I get through double album. pic.twitter.com/nHaPrhQDF1
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/
Well, seeing as the computer’s busy, might as well go old-school. instagram.com/p/f4oq7NJC8e/
@bertpalmer Thanks ;)
Right then. Here we go. *crosses fingers* instagram.com/p/f4nxz2JC7u/
@_pigeons_ @WTF4Photography Or the day before’s, Febreezed.
@_pigeons_ @WTF4Photography *Business* attire is *clean* pants.
@dangusset Personally, I’m hoping for 20m; I’ll be just fine, but the nearest ferry stop will get a *lot* nearer…
Ah, I love the smell of freshly-upgraded memory in the morning. #geek pic.twitter.com/3oDo26rCq9
So. Mavericks time for the iMac, then. Might see you in a bit. Might see you from a cafe on my laptop in four hours, crying.
Having a more relaxed working morning than usual*.
*Still in my dressing gown.
What do people use Instagram for? Oh, of course: selling guns. petapixel.com/2013/10/24/ins…
@Plusnet (Thanks!)
@Plusnet Ah well. Guess I’m sticking things out as I am for the time being.
SaliWho 3D printed gun components may have been found in Manchester. Hipster criminals. They probably made them ironically. ow.ly/25Zr0U
@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…)
This flood level map is interesting: flood.firetree.net (Via this #bristol Flickr discussion: flickr.com/groups/bristol… about the 7 Hills.)
Excellent! My toast has an integrated carry handle. instagram.com/p/f4abKkJCzE/
@jxdwinter @an0 Not sure it’s “fake”. Been in the App Store since before Tweetbot originally came out, first time round.
Past my bedtime, then… *crashes*
