@DazeEnd @andrewnicolle But really, I don’t know the rules from the US side. Best thing you can do is talk to your accountant.

@andrewnicolle @DazeEnd Which is why I’ve never had to worry about it, as I understand it; I’m outside all the states.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to andrewnicolle

@andrewnicolle @DazeEnd But a lot depends on trade agreements, etc, so I can’t really give advice for a different country!

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to andrewnicolle

@andrewnicolle @DazeEnd Talk to an accountant. There may be relatively easy ways of dealing with big markets (eg EU) as a whole.

NaNoWriMo 28 years ago today The Princess Bride opened in theaters. Nothing but movie quotes today, yes? Yes. Very good.

And yes, I did tweet that idea during a break from putting together a bloody IKEA sofa on my own :D

@Lillput @IKEA You’re more optimistic than I am. My worst-case scenario was wood shavings and murder.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Lillput

Idea: self-assembly dating. Singles team up to build a complex item of @IKEA furniture. If you don’t click, at least you’ve got a wardrobe.

Okay. I’m now Matt “two sofas” Gibson. Hopefully not for long. instagram.com/p/8DvG9TJC28/

@Samfraggle Is one of the words on that sheet “Asda”? :)

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Samfraggle

@andrewnicolle @DazeEnd …I think it’s mostly because Google *really* want you to use advertising, not to take payments :(

@ahnlak Hey, it was about a decade ago. Would have been long shot if I hadn’t renewed for two years last time…

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ahnlak

@andrewnicolle @DazeEnd Yeah. It is incredibly annoying. And also hard to drag information out of Google on this…

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to andrewnicolle

@ahnlak The old one was 123-reg, which many would say is enough to offend in itself. Was calling hover to kick off the transfer.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ahnlak

@AlanaMassey I guess this means that in a year or two’s time I’ll start to understand what “basic” means. Or used to mean.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to AlanaMassey

So, IKEA are definitely delivering the new sofa. Hope @clearabee turn up to take the old one away!

@justin I’ll upgrade your review to two stars once you’ve fixed Apple.

ASPCallCentre Given the timescales involved on the M4 closure please start to think about your journey now. Diversions in place. Both bridges open. Delays

If only one of the two vans I’m expecting today turns up, I’ll either have no sofa, or two sofas. Neither will be a great result.

Okeating I’m writing a novel. It’s the old story:
Woman meets man
Man brings milk
Woman needs less milk.
Actually, seems it’s a note to the milkman.

@ahnlak I’ve already phoned a domain registrar and been up a ladder trimming ivy. And my last option makes you go blind, apparently.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ahnlak

Hour four in the “Matt waits in for a delivery” house. Despondency is setting in. Cannibalism can’t be far off.

via Tweetbot for Mac

Yeah, it’s never happened to me, either.

via Tweetbot for Mac

That thing where you flamboyantly kick off a transfer of your primary domain to a new registrar, confident that nothing will screw up.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@hayles Pretty sure I don’t like cancer either. SEND CAKE.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to hayles

@mattwritescode I think by the time I gave up and started using virtual machines, I had five different versions :(

ASPCallCentre << M4 westbound J21-22 will remain closed for foreseeable time until recovery of vehicle can be arranged.

@tomasmcguinness How much data do you need to send? I’ve been toying with the idea of sending speaker->phone using DTMF tones for years.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tomasmcguinness

@tomasmcguinness …but perhaps this poswindytan.com/2012/11/the-so…o2 might be a good starting point for search terms.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tomasmcguinness

@tomasmcguinness Loud speaker and phone listener, you’d probably need a lower rate than 56K (chirp.io is a good example!)…

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tomasmcguinness

@tomasmcguinness Well, the bit you heard would have been the negotiation or handshake.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tomasmcguinness

benjohnbarnes So, I’ve been writing this iPhone weather App for two years. TWO YEARS!? Er, Yeah, two years. It’s well ready for testing. Fancy it?

@dzaporozhets @teabass BUT BUT IF MY DEPENDENCIES DON’T LOOK LIKE A PILE OF JACKSTRAWS WHO DO I BLAME MY FAILURE ON?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to dzaporozhets

@Farkie Much of the energy must have been spent lifting the van up, I guess. Very lucky! Bet the police want a bit of a word, mind :)

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Farkie

@Farkie @tmoitie Despite how it looks, I’m guessing it’s pretty lucky the Porsche is wedge shaped. Was everyone okay, d’you know?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Farkie

@Farkie @tmoitie Presumably, the operative question is “…!?”

I’m thinking that what this really needs is a “DEAR HOLY GOD NO NO NO” button. pic.twitter.com/NKVHUiHiKa

@Kavey @ahnlak Yup, it definitely says “Drake”. Credited appropriately :) uniquesentence.com/sentence/600/i… @raayat @foxc

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Kavey

@ahnlak @Kavey You know what? I think it actually says “Drake”!

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @Kavey I try to transcribe frequently enough that I can actually remember the conversation, too. Didn’t happen this time!

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak @Kavey Hey, *you* said it! Also, I feel conductivity might be a problem with the metal ones. Metal with asbestos handles?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ahnlak

Transcribing my notebook. Yes, that *does* say, “I don’t think you can eat magma with chopsticks.” @ahnlak @Kavey pic.twitter.com/cNM5ePVGBg

@jonhickman Nobody whose job it is to set up a lectern PC has ever had to give a presentation.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jonhickman

That thing where you could do lots while waiting for a delivery but you just procrastinate and look out the window whenever there’s a sound.
