Every time I see a stubbly guy wearing a grey hoodie in the street I want to go up to him with open arms yelling "Ezio, my friend!!" … 00:19:58, 2011-12-02
… worse still, I've never actually played any Assasin's Creed. 00:20:35, 2011-12-02
@BillBailey Just watched the Tinselworm DVD! Very good! Though ironic it contains the same anti-piracy warning you mocked in Part Troll. ;) 00:35:14, 2011-12-02
@jackalesque If you happen across an extra pair, I'd love a set too. For casting. :3 in reply to jackalesque 01:06:30, 2011-12-02
Google have just changed my YouTube subscriptions page. I can no longer remove videos from the subscription list. That was the BEST FEATURE. 02:27:15, 2011-12-02
And no, doesn't seem actually WATCHING a video removes it from your subscription list either. #NewYouTube 02:29:09, 2011-12-02
New YouTube; Vid pages; very nice. Channel pages; no change? Subscriptions page; WHERE'S MY SINGLE-VID-REMOVE BUTTON GONE?? I NEED THAT! 02:34:51, 2011-12-02
New YouTube homepage is now just a massive list of EVERY video uploaded by my subscriptions, including all the ones I've already watched. 02:39:09, 2011-12-02
FYI @Google, interface redesigns are supposed to add or improve functionality, not remove it. 02:42:08, 2011-12-02
Imagined someone saying we have to have faith in the British government to do the right thing. Couldn't stop laughing. 13:44:08, 2011-12-02
I liked a @YouTube video from @FrancoVP http://t.co/0KdstchI Portal 2 OST Volume 3 – Your Precious Moon 13:47:25, 2011-12-02
Does anyone else have this playing in their head when they hear any news on TV (@YouTube http://t.co/0KdstchI) 13:48:48, 2011-12-02
@avon_deer Considering how many of them get caught doing it, I don't think they can even do "right" for themselves. in reply to avon_deer 13:49:23, 2011-12-02
Making fantasy a reality feels like the only way forward now. For everything. 14:04:59, 2011-12-02
I'm only thinking crazy because I do it very well. 14:45:15, 2011-12-02
Would be nice to be told when the drains are blocked. Now instead of a shower & haircut, I get to unblock overhead drain pipes. 15:00:50, 2011-12-02
Rooting through sewage with my hands is not what I want to be doing while recovering from food poisoning. 15:02:31, 2011-12-02
Showered, after removing a foot-long hair-turd from the drains. 15:36:08, 2011-12-02
@_millymoo If a pigeon had shat on the PM's shoulder it'd be on all the front pages tomorrow. That's desperation for distraction, not news. in reply to _millymoo 17:37:20, 2011-12-02
I think as far as business goals go, "turn into Aperture Science" isn't a bad one. Aside from killing all the employees, of course. 17:40:50, 2011-12-02
@GraafenBlackpaw The X button for new subscriptions is gone now, for starters. And they don't auto-remove after watching either. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 18:54:55, 2011-12-02
Loving this mix version! Will a download version be available at any point? (@YouTube http://t.co/c6swG3gS) 19:39:31, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson Sounds like the issue is that of existing rules being good enough but not *enforced*. in reply to julesmattsson 19:45:28, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson Odd how the answer to insufficient enforcement of rules is to *make more rules*. in reply to julesmattsson 19:46:19, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson Also, the reasonable expectation of privacy effects casual/civilian photographers, so would these new rules as well? in reply to julesmattsson 19:47:26, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson It's embarrassing. I've seen so many amateur clubs that do the same, & the government of a 1st world country acts the same? in reply to julesmattsson 19:50:10, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson Sounded as much. Wasn't sure if this was being fielded as press-only guideline changes though. in reply to julesmattsson 19:50:58, 2011-12-02
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/c6swG3gS Reconstructing Science (Portal 2 theme remix) – J_RA 19:52:30, 2011-12-02
@julesmattsson IIRC the French law can mean if you catch an assault on tape you can get worse charges than the attacker? in reply to julesmattsson 19:57:50, 2011-12-02
Must pack painkillers for tomorrow. And a couple of pots of Yakult if I want to eat anything there. 20:18:50, 2011-12-02
Just found this link: http://t.co/m5j5EYyQ Takes you to the old style homepage where you can still remove vids & see peoples favs! 21:11:51, 2011-12-02
The Dwarven Archers Guild is keeping up the good work. (@YouTube http://t.co/DlCFv4TB) 21:50:37, 2011-12-02
Camera batteries are charging, photo gear is packed. So are meds and pointless example of unfinished MechaEars. 22:53:06, 2011-12-02
Sheets are drying, hair is cut. Tomorrow hoover guest room, iron shirt, pack couple of Yakult for stomach management, change sheets. 22:54:57, 2011-12-02
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/CtXQzbRa Moran Cerf – Moth GrandSLAM winning story – Theme: Big Breaks 23:55:00, 2011-12-02

One day they'll be a horrible death-TV medi-gameshow show called "Kill-Or-Cure". Part will involve sandwiches like the one I just made. 00:05:33, 2011-12-01
@tajasel When the overt get tired, the overt get covert. in reply to tajasel 01:33:09, 2011-12-01
@joe_hill I just downloaded 500 floppy disks worth of data in under 2 minutes & watched live satellite footage of the earth from space. in reply to joe_hill 01:48:53, 2011-12-01
"Youth outreach scheme" has come to our door twice tonight trying to sell us cleaning products. They can't hear the words "not interested". 17:10:04, 2011-12-01
Okay, off to top up phone and buy more Yakult. The battle of the gut isn't over yet. There may still be sleeper agents. 17:13:18, 2011-12-01
@totallynotHN Let's see.. *logs onto thingiverse* Car is thing number 6197, 768 (@YouTube http://t.co/SEdTNrjn) 19:54:29, 2011-12-01
If Heston Blumenthal ever sees this, we're all screwed. (@YouTube http://t.co/Vg8ppKNG) 20:54:33, 2011-12-01
Finally got the net back. Had to restore modem to defaults. 23:53:44, 2011-12-01
Apparently it DOESN'T actually rest factory settings though, since the password is still the one I set & the wireless is still turned off. 23:57:04, 2011-12-01
And the DVD I was watching has crashed.. 23:57:59, 2011-12-01

Feeling somewhat improved today. Swallowing sip of water no longer leads to immediate stomach cramps. 12:48:34, 2011-11-30
@mothdust Goddamit, my time! in reply to mothdust 16:33:54, 2011-11-30
@jackalesque Not as bad as yesterday. Mostly bruised gut I think now. Moving from sitting to standing causes trouble. in reply to jackalesque 16:41:37, 2011-11-30
http://t.co/rNGxxihM and http://t.co/4lRGvCsk are both rather special.. 16:43:03, 2011-11-30
@ChaseLionessAD I dare not ask what your username is on there XD in reply to ChaseLionessAD 18:22:43, 2011-11-30
Keep forgetting if you don't close Thunderbird's Activity Manager it keeps downloading mail even after the program itself is closed. 19:26:36, 2011-11-30
I need a 3-4 second jingle noise for my youtube vids.. 20:22:30, 2011-11-30
So hot, but energy returning a little. Have cleared the sofa & hung laundry. Wooo! 22:20:48, 2011-11-30
My stomach hurts. In a different way. I think.. I'm actually hungry. O_O 23:46:32, 2011-11-30
@ThoughtDemon I keep wondering what sort of faces you're making when doing that sorta thing. :) in reply to ThoughtDemon 23:47:41, 2011-11-30

Been napping all day. Now can't sleep. Someone sing Soft Kitty to me. Still feverish & cramping. 00:35:20, 2011-11-29

@sheenaghpugh Start selling official strike T-shirts and plates? in reply to sheenaghpugh 01:13:53, 2011-11-29
If you want an insight what it's like to be in care, @jackalesque is posting a few of her journals from that time: http://t.co/cbHbdAw6 02:12:22, 2011-11-29
Really hope I feel well in the morning. Want to have one of those showers where you wash the fever-sweats off you. 03:10:04, 2011-11-29
Doctor agreed this seems like food poisoning. Likely Salmonella. No treatments, just has to run its course. 10:42:26, 2011-11-29
This likely means I'll be missing the winter party, or be very weak when attending. 10:43:15, 2011-11-29
@ladyuhuru Harassment of other passengers? in reply to ladyuhuru 10:43:56, 2011-11-29
Doctor is a pompous ass. "Sorry, there's no 'magic cure'" he says. Yeah, I wanted help because I'm LAZY, not to avoid a week of pain & shit. 11:00:06, 2011-11-29
I really want a hug. *shivvers* 11:16:20, 2011-11-29
Getting cramps and chills again. Time for another lay-down. >_< 13:00:21, 2011-11-29
Crying and whimpering. Can literally feel my belly re-inflating after each trip to bathroom. It really hurts. 17:04:28, 2011-11-29
Trying some basic logic. Am eating live yogurt. Logic; more good bacteria to fight the bad bacteria. 17:27:49, 2011-11-29
Trying Wind-Eze + Yakult.. can hardly do me much worse. 18:49:39, 2011-11-29
My gut appears to be a pressurised system now. Anything going in immediately means the same volume going out. 22:09:50, 2011-11-29
It's like my lower half has been replaced by an extremely painful espresso machine. 22:10:14, 2011-11-29

@charltonbrooker HMPH. My dreams are rubbish. :( in reply to charltonbrooker 01:09:59, 2011-11-28
Bit of digging around suggests it'll be a lot easier for me to use an ACS712 for current sensing than it will be to make a sense-circuit. 01:11:04, 2011-11-28
Note to self: They[re available via RS for £4.91. 01:11:30, 2011-11-28
Just got an insane-sounding marketing email from Ebuyer. A £1 clearance sale? o_O 01:14:44, 2011-11-28
@tajasel So will be very odd stuff then I guess :/ in reply to tajasel 01:25:11, 2011-11-28
I wish there was a desk in front of the toilet so I could rest my head against it while muttering obscenities.. 02:02:30, 2011-11-28
Very unwell today. Can't stop shivvering. Keep running to the loo. Still getting horrible cramps. 11:37:40, 2011-11-28
Feel horrible. Had nightmares all night long. So tired. 11:43:29, 2011-11-28
