@TaraBusch Oooh, yes, re-watched that last year. Brought back scary memories from when I watched it when I was probably a bit too young.
@ahnlak Think they’re owned by Dell.
@ahnlak Alienware have 12% off this weekend..? :D
@ahnlak This is another reason I’m generally happy to just buy pre-built stuff these days. I had time for that shit in my twenties.
@ahnlak Renting appeals more with Macs because they’re harder to upgrade yourself, sadly.
@ahnlak Would they ever have to know?
@ahnlak I’m going to look into renting my Macs; might be better to just pay monthly and get them replaced every couple of years.
@cabalgata …this one at least gave me a chance to make sure I didn’t have a great need for a tablet anywya.
@cabalgata Well, if I actually had more use for a tablet, I’d probably buy a better one…
@ahnlak I take it this is going to be one of those ones where replacing the motherboard means replacing almost everything?
@ahnlak Also: When the hell is your motherboard from? This Mac’s from 2008 and I’m not even sure it’s maxed out.
@ahnlak I have 16 in here and it feels very roomy.
@ahnlak Only if your main machine is a phone.
Patorama Am I ready to love again? I don’t know Star Wars trailer, I’ve been hurt in the past. Let’s keep things casual for now.
@cabalgata Went okay second time :) Been significantly more responsive, without any developer tweaks. Still quite laggy, though.

Damn it. Went to pot something, and I’m out of compost.
@guriben (This is for my stones/pounds/kilos converter, which has mostly UK/Eire customer base, and I’m guessing older customers/hardware.)
@guriben Cool, ta. In that case I’ll carry on supporting it.
@guriben Cool, ta. UK perfect. Basically want to know how much I’ll miss if I move app to iPhone 5 and upwards only.
Anyone got a pointer to some stats on how many iPhone 4 and earlier devices are still being used? Ta.
(Also: apparently I really like The Smiths, as long as Morrissey isn’t actually singing.)

School night, and main act yet to start. Luckily, being a Pete Doherty fan has trained me to be grateful if the band turns up in same month.
Louie minuses: might need to go to Bath soon to see if Bath Sles actually taste good *anywhere*. Not having much luck in Bristol recently.
@snorewell When you get to my age, the big achievement is remembering your twenties.

matthew_d_green I woke this morning to find my 7 y/o levering my finger onto the TouchID sensor of my phone. Maybe time to go back to passwords.
@alexjcraven @claireellent Hurrah! Sure it’ll go swimmingly :)
@LeeH_webdesign There’s a market here for a web service for people without printers…
@LeeH_webdesign Yeah, but sadly their ombudsman only accepts complaints sent by carrier pigeon.
Anyway. Late start to work today. Having been infected in a card shop earlier, my soundtrack will be Kate Nash.
@ahnlak I can’t complain, really, the car’s not cost me *that* much in the last decade. And the garage are good.
@ahnlak Which doesn’t sound terrible, but means (a) interior light on, (b) driver’s window going up and down a bit by itself, (c) alarm.
@ahnlak Door sensor or some computer module, probably. It *intermittently* (*sigh*) thinks the driver’s door is open when it’s closed.
On the plus side, when they actually turn up, I do enjoy being at the front of the top deck on a bus.
Bah. Just dropped the car off at the garage. And they might not be able to look at it until December.
@Bristol52 Hrm. I’d *imagine* it’s good in Guiseppe’s (between Baldwin Street & St. Nicholas Street), but I’ve not tried it personally.

@OpinionatedGeek Ah, yeah, that’s a good reason. Yes, only recently had the leasing idea—there’s a local Apple reseller who specialises.
@OpinionatedGeek (32GB of RAM should last a while, though. Are you bumping into limits? Only max out my 16GB when something goes wrong…)
@OpinionatedGeek What this probably means is that my company should *lease* my iMac from a firm that just trucks round a new one every year.
@OpinionatedGeek …which is the iMac problem. They didn’t start very upgradeable, and they’ve got worse and worse.
@OpinionatedGeek I care less about the display than non-upgradeable RAM, £60/hr labour charge for swapping disks out, etc. *sigh*
@OpinionatedGeek But I agree the Retina is shiny. Was eyeing one up a couple of weeks back.
@OpinionatedGeek I want the *old* Power Mac with new bits in it. :(
@OpinionatedGeek Two minds? (I mostly have one mind that wants a product Apple doesn’t sell :( )

So, apparently being five minutes into a meditation is still an excellent way to trigger those return phone calls you were waiting for.
LeighWoodsNT oooh the first frosts have arrived at Leigh Woods. It’s all looking very fresh and glistening in the #Bristol winter sun
@punksmurf @FozzTexx Thanks, I’ll check them out. Looked earlier this year but didn’t find a service with good regional info.
@Cookwitch !?
@FozzTexx These days there are six video rental stores all in your house, and you *still* don’t know if the film you want is in any of them.
@Kavey Not sure I’m going to go that far, unless I can rent the room/gear. Might try a develop/scan myself, though!
@Kavey Oh, yeah, it’s not like I’m going to switch to film on a permanent basis :). But I might have to develop a roll myself just for fun!
@Kavey Though these days good, old film cameras are so affordable that I’ve got 50, 100 and 400 ISO on the go simultaneously :D

@liveindetail I’m getting over that stage, because I’ve mostly been shooting film for a few weeks now. Helps if camera is very different!

@talkie_tim Cool! Never tried it at home. How’re you finding it?
@talkie_tim Nice! I had the six-hour (I think) poached eggs from Bell’s Diner once. Lush.
@Bristolvor @chubbybannister “Are you in trouble, No 9?”
@chubbybannister Sounds like a bad plan, especially in run-up to Christmas. I’ve spent a half hour getting round Centre on bus in December.
@thelawns Sorry, I only started using it when it went to Creative Cloud. Could never convince myself to stump up the money before that.
technicalfault Just brilliant: hipsterbusiness.name (nice work @Namecheap!)
@thelawns (I mention it because Adobe’s website is notoriously hard to figure out prices from, and it’s a good deal for trying it out.)
@thelawns Considered the Photographer’s Creative Cloud plan? It’s about £100 for a year, for Photoshop and Lightroom.
@thelawns (i.e. if you learn Elements inside out, it’s not going to be an amazing help if you then migrate to Photoshop.)
@thelawns It’s actually pretty different, in terms of user interface. But yeah, cut-down in features, certainly.
@jbrownridge Local paper website? I find that’s far and away the worst one for me…

@_pigeons_ @WTF4Photography You should check out the ladies’ if you visit anyway :)
@thebuffington If I’d had to spend that much time mulling it over, I’d have gone for something that sounded more natural.
@thebuffington I’m reasonably familiar with the subjunctive; I’m just not entirely convinced that that sentence has that mood… Ah well.
@thebuffington And does this count as a suggestion?
Yes, OS X, clearly I’m the kind of person who’s more likely to use “metope” in conversation than “meetup”.
That odd feeling when someone favourites a photo you took in 2006.

@cabalgata I have 4GB free. I think the only thing that’ll fix this thing is buying a new one from a different manufacturer.
@cabalgata Well, here goes nothing. Currently rebooting. *crosses fingers*. Might just have to start saving up for a new tablet.
@C_J_Fox Not this time. Nexus 4 and 7 here were still saying “no update available” this morning.
@cabalgata You see, my Nexus 7 already *has* hideous, laggy performance just running KitKat… Seems common in 2012 7s…
@C_J_Fox I got bored waiting. Android rollouts can take weeks to get to everyone.

@sstarr @mckelvaney Yup. Photographique, Clare Street. Know what they’re doing. Offer 1hr service for extra £1, even for 120 film.
@EffBeeee Ah well. Another decluttering photography tip, though: it can be easier to part with something if you take a snap of it first.

@ahnlak @Kavey I added one of Google’s DNS servers to the end of my list and things seem to have improved.
@laurarawlings @NeilJamesB Yes indeedy. Took a very similar photo myself earlier on, but on 120 film, so it’ll be a while before I see mine!
@Kavey You using OpenDNS? Might just be a problem with them…
Um. Odd. My DNS is resolving many things, but not google.com. *Starts poking things with a stick*
@emma_cossey I’ve stayed in the Glasgow one. Enjoyed controlling light colours from TV remote.
@EffBeeee Sounds about right. (Incidentally, did you take “before” photos? Wish I’d done that before my decluttering this year.)
@EffBeeee Decluttering is always horrible in the middle. The only way out is through.
