@meekoblue Unbiased reporting FTW: Ignore it ALL. in reply to meekoblue 13:54:33, 2011-07-19
Words from @LupusLondonwolf we'll be hearing a lot in a fortnight: "This is the most predictable financial disaster in history." 13:58:17, 2011-07-19
@meekoblue Saw hash codes but with how hard Twitter crashed at the time I almost suspect the UK gov have a Twitter kill-switch in place now in reply to meekoblue 14:05:29, 2011-07-19
They should have eaten it using a copy of Duke Nukem Forever as a spoon. (@YouTube http://youtu.be/kMyPD1VKk60?a) 14:31:11, 2011-07-19
In 2 weeks the USA defaults on it's loans. Either their debt ceiling gets raised or their economy collapses with global collateral damage. 14:34:03, 2011-07-19
I think I only know one person in the USA properly set up to handle such a collapse, and it's solely because he's already growing his food. 14:35:37, 2011-07-19
"Ongoing dialogue with the HMRC"? Is that in the form of invoices or bidding? #hackgate 15:17:23, 2011-07-19
@ThoughtDemon Wooooo!! in reply to ThoughtDemon 16:04:12, 2011-07-19
Is there an open format for design/machining files as well as assembly instructions? Something human and machine readable? 16:05:17, 2011-07-19
It's a good day to bury bad news. #hackgate #NHS 16:31:42, 2011-07-19
@jackalesque Congratulations!! :D in reply to jackalesque 16:37:46, 2011-07-19
Milling machine at £72 so far. 5 days to go. Will add the extras to the listing shortly. 16:50:21, 2011-07-19
When you have a largely ad-hoc and decentralised organisation, it's impossible to stop people claiming they represent you. #hackgate 17:25:31, 2011-07-19
@Scapponess Hoping someone will make an API for bulk searches. Stick your own gallery in one end, get list of all repostings out the other. in reply to Scapponess 17:28:15, 2011-07-19
Aspiring comedian @JonnieMarbles prevents Murdoch being further discredited by assaulting him for his own publicity at the public enquiry. 17:36:17, 2011-07-19
@TinyTeaDragon Awww, I know where you're up to. :( #WhyWheatleyWhy in reply to TinyTeaDragon 18:31:47, 2011-07-19
@JonnieMarbles You. Utter. Cunt. Thanks, the enquiry stops and Murdoch gets to be the put-upon underdog. 18:34:32, 2011-07-19
@julesmattsson Still think monstering should involve more mask-wearing. At least you'd capture more interesting expressions from them. in reply to julesmattsson 18:41:23, 2011-07-19
@PennyRed Please encourage the @JonnieMarbles press swarm to yell "How much did Murdoch pay you for that distraction?!" #hackgate #piegate 20:15:07, 2011-07-19
Also, please RT my last tweet. 20:18:03, 2011-07-19
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/eZp7B51Up0w?a Furry Call-Out 20:34:16, 2011-07-19
Okay, the 2Kw transformer seems to work our mains voltage seems to be reading very high tonight. 312v AC! Hoping my multimeter's gone bad. 23:25:40, 2011-07-19
I also cocked up. Mis-remembered the motor powers as 1.25 and 1.5HP. They're 2HP cont. and 2.75HP peak. Same enough but just over the 2Kw. 23:27:52, 2011-07-19
2HP equals about 1491Watts. The peak of 2.75HP though is 2051Watts. But horsepower is a bit vague. 1HP is 735-750Watts. 23:33:51, 2011-07-19
So will my 2Kw transformer be able to handle it? Maybe. Odds improve if I can add some current monitoring. 23:34:33, 2011-07-19
@madefromrain Assuming you mean it purely visual in sexual situations, probably (@YouTube http://youtu.be/aXZ-IQmDALI?a) 23:58:04, 2011-07-19

Not usually bothered, but fuck that was a huge moth! D: 00:42:48, 2011-07-18
Time for bed. Feeling kinda feverish. 01:01:31, 2011-07-18
@LupusLondonwolf What occurs on that date then? in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:06:10, 2011-07-18
Internet is acting up today. Connection keeps dropping. 14:07:12, 2011-07-18
Time to be selfish again. Also time for a haircut. 15:39:12, 2011-07-18
@tajasel Good grief, yes. That sofa pattern is horrible. in reply to tajasel 15:47:09, 2011-07-18
What colour to dye my hair this time? Done red and green so far. Was thinking black, but.. well is a bit boring. Maybe red again. Liked it. 15:49:13, 2011-07-18
Ugh. Indoor cats have fleas. Outdoor cat might be pregnant again (due to family issues we haven't managed to get her snipped at the vet yet) 15:57:26, 2011-07-18
Sudden memory from the houseparty; A venn-diagram generator website where you fill in the overlap between random subjects. 16:01:42, 2011-07-18
Another random memory; The Hiemie the Fishboy Memorial Hospital, "No seriously, I'm not dead yet!" 16:09:45, 2011-07-18
Picked up some Live Color hair-dye. They only had 35-Real Red. Last time used 43-Red Passion. 35 is much lighter. Will see how it goes. 18:10:32, 2011-07-18
I've just been invited to tea at a naturist spa. Should be entertaining! 18:11:19, 2011-07-18
Previous RTs should not be a surprise. Of course the police can lie to you. It's part of how they challenge suspects stories. 18:35:08, 2011-07-18
Basically if you've gotten the attention of the police, don't speak without a legal representative with you. 18:36:51, 2011-07-18
@Reaperfox Install Skype? in reply to Reaperfox 18:41:18, 2011-07-18

Prime witness against multi-billion dollar international media-control company found dead. Unexplained but not "suspicious". 19:15:43, 2011-07-18
In related news, News International announces purchase of the English Dictionary. Some minor definition edits under "S". 19:16:58, 2011-07-18
@catherine_mayer "But eventually you run out of grandmothers, so it's best to save it for when you really need the story." in reply to catherine_mayer 20:28:15, 2011-07-18
@TinyTeaDragon You will make an excellent test subject. in reply to TinyTeaDragon 22:40:16, 2011-07-18
Apparently #TheSun site has been hacked by #lulzsec to redirect to a fake story about Murdoch dying. It's not working for me tho. 22:47:16, 2011-07-18
Oh, and apparently #lulzsec also have a bunch of #NotW's internal emails. #NoBigDealRight? 22:48:28, 2011-07-18
@Aiannucci And able to close it up quickly, it's off for a quick bite down at McDonalds. in reply to Aiannucci 23:14:43, 2011-07-18

Meet up delayed today, so have popped home for a mail-check and to collect umbrella. Then out to the hackspace and beyond. 15:54:20, 2011-07-17
Good party at Alice-Amandas last night. Had a very enjoyable time. :) 15:55:00, 2011-07-17
@JezzKitty May be crash space at mine. Have offered to someone, but they haven't confirmed yet. in reply to JezzKitty 15:55:59, 2011-07-17
Seem to have bumped into nice people this morning so far. Most recent; a very friendly lady named Trisha on the train home. :) 15:57:10, 2011-07-17
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/iX60j_rlTOA?a Penn and Teller compare video games to football 16:04:51, 2011-07-17
Ah, awesome! Two bids on the milling machine and a week to go! Only £51, but it's a start. 16:07:17, 2011-07-17
@JezzKitty kk, just trying to helpful. Also, from todays promoted Instructables: http://t.co/Pk7AkTW in reply to JezzKitty 16:08:44, 2011-07-17
Nothing ruins a day quite like being guilt-tripped about wanting some time to yourself. Or guilt-trips of any variety. 22:15:13, 2011-07-17
Creative urges well crushed, came home via the pub. Early night I think. 22:15:55, 2011-07-17
My throat's burning. Feels like I've been gargling bile. 23:05:22, 2011-07-17

I want to see someone doing Parkour in a fat-suit. 13:35:16, 2011-07-16
It feels so civilised using all fresh toiletries for the first time, rather than eking out the last dregs from the old bottles and tubes. 14:48:56, 2011-07-16

@furaffinity Pretty amazing! What are the most popular content tags? in reply to furaffinity 00:06:58, 2011-07-15
@Moshiicake Cheers hon! I should take pics of the ones from the new moulds to pimp them. :3 in reply to Moshiicake 00:22:30, 2011-07-15
Dad's given the remains of a 38%vol novelty "medicine" he got in China. It contains dog, dear and seal penis. Equally disgusted & curious. 00:59:44, 2011-07-15

@LupusLondonwolf What did I miss there? O_O in reply to LupusLondonwolf 11:27:02, 2011-07-15
Ebay's auto-removing email addresses from internal messages, presume to stop outside sales. Helpful when trying to contact product support. 12:02:19, 2011-07-15
About 5hrs sleep. Having a tricky time getting into gear. Some proper tea I think.. 12:11:45, 2011-07-15

oop! Running over to dads for some impromptu worktop collecting! 12:27:55, 2011-07-15
@Huskyteer Qua? Worktop rats? O_o in reply to Huskyteer 13:40:38, 2011-07-15
Worktop collected. Should be ample! May also be doing impromptu delivery of a sofa to the LondonHackSpace if the mailing list replies quick. 13:41:45, 2011-07-15
@Huskyteer It's okay, the idea of melamine pigeons is amusing. in reply to Huskyteer 14:38:29, 2011-07-15
Amusing. BT answer vs an automated marketing call. I'll have to record it off the phone before the 20day storage is up. 15:04:57, 2011-07-15
