I have to be sure. @BillBailey and @jonathancoulton; you ARE aware of each-others existence (and works), right?? 14:06:57, 2011-06-11
Forgot to mention – One of the bottles of homebrew exploded on wednesday. One of the glass bottles. 14:12:23, 2011-06-11

@NiyohBeast I do not mind any names, I'm eating well for £5 a week. :) in reply to NiyohBeast 00:55:51, 2011-06-10
Those reactor cells look like carbon copies of the one in the 1998 Lost In Spac (@YouTube http://youtu.be/y5Yngipvz6M?a) 14:34:12, 2011-06-10
Who else is going to see Jonathan Coulton tomorrow? Hoping to meet up with some folk beforehand for sharing homebrew. 15:33:37, 2011-06-10
Garage isn't even going to touch the fuel system work til monday. This means no van, which means no fridge collection this sunday. 16:53:13, 2011-06-10
Very worried the seller will back out and sell it to the next highest bidder. 16:53:40, 2011-06-10
@GraafenBlackpaw Someone using your stuff for profit? in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 22:29:46, 2011-06-10
@song_in_heart That would be nice once I've got a few more bits out the way. Would like to bring some elderflower wine over sometime tho. in reply to song_in_heart 22:34:01, 2011-06-10

"Hir" and "Shi" are 3rd-person terms often used to describe fantasy hermaphrodites. But what's the appropriate title ala Miss/Mr? 00:54:17, 2011-06-09
£16 spent. Not as good as a fortnight ago, but enough food to last a week and a bit. 22:42:52, 2011-06-09
Broadband Line Test: "test has failed to complete, due to 100% packet loss" 22:50:34, 2011-06-09
@meekoblue 9pm & after they start marking down all the fresh & on-date stuff to silly prices like 25p, 9p, 35p.. & I have a freezer. in reply to meekoblue 22:54:34, 2011-06-09
@meekoblue It's mostly ready made items & stuff from the bakery. Some veg, but not a lot. Got a couple pints of French Onion soup 25p tho. in reply to meekoblue 23:09:08, 2011-06-09
The Korean clip is from NMAWorldEdition. They have a YouTube channel. The video (@YouTube http://youtu.be/E8AeUxmyUAU?a) 23:17:16, 2011-06-09
@meekoblue Morrisons. Other supermarkets do similar though. over-date food can't be sold, so they knock it down to like 9p in extremes. in reply to meekoblue 23:17:58, 2011-06-09
@meekoblue It all goes in the bin otherwise. Some stores have stock days, others every night. Worth fining out which days have most going. in reply to meekoblue 23:19:29, 2011-06-09
@meekoblue It's a repeating cycle! Just gotta know when to go. :3 in reply to meekoblue 23:40:13, 2011-06-09

Turned PC on, 2nd graphics card can't start! Shock, panic, then turned it on and off again. It works again. 00:30:43, 2011-06-08
Very pleasant day with @jackalesque. Chatter, photography, food. :) 22:14:01, 2011-06-08
Want to take the audio from the "In Dubai every day is an opportunity" ad on youtube, set it to people being arrested for using aspirin. 23:03:16, 2011-06-08

Time for bed.. or maybe a snack first? Stomach growls. But got some progress on art a bit more. Productive~ 01:42:40, 2011-06-07
Oh cool! Google Maps has added line-info when you click on an underground station. The real location of the line shows up too! 11:48:09, 2011-06-07
Overground lines don't show up yet though. 11:49:23, 2011-06-07
Skype auto-updated on me and won't sign in now. In fact it can't even connect to the Connection Wizard. #skype #fail 13:15:57, 2011-06-07
Claws drilled~ 13:30:01, 2011-06-07
Skype is worse on the indoor machine. Crashed & wants to send an error report. #skype #fail 13:54:24, 2011-06-07
Skype error report appears full of Polish & includes the words "FUBAR MySpace Skype" 13:56:01, 2011-06-07
#Skype finally signed on. No one on my contact list is though. 14:13:13, 2011-06-07
@meekoblue I scrolled down through the HEX dump and spotted them in a cluster about midway through. 14:25:18, 2011-06-07
Post office time. 14:30:25, 2011-06-07
Right, off to meet someone in a park. Ooh-er. 15:19:47, 2011-06-07
