@PennyRed Because there's just been one foreign protest dominating the news, & people are loosing interest in such things now? 00:03:56, 2011-02-20
@PennyRed Probably the same reason no one's freaking out over the fresh wikileaks cables. USA buying missles through illegal arms deals, etc 00:05:04, 2011-02-20
@PennyRed Oversaturation is my guess. 00:05:24, 2011-02-20
Brain says "Buuuuuuuh". Time for bed. 00:15:46, 2011-02-20
I liked a YouTube video — Old Spice | Raven starring NFL Superperson Ray Lewis http://youtu.be/sxqlw3cKZHA?a 00:33:49, 2011-02-20
This video seems to have pushed the commenter's into full-fledged tourettes. (YouTube http://youtu.be/tBJWrgFkjEU?a) 13:16:06, 2011-02-20

@Glinner Trolls vs trolls. Tho Anon has the advantage that they change tactics to suit the situ. If they go psychological on them.. in reply to Glinner 13:56:03, 2011-02-20
Bathroom hot-tap fixed, extra handrail fitted to stairs, drive assembly removed from robot, emails replied to, more varnishing done. 18:06:33, 2011-02-20
Heading out to @LondonHackspace to test motors stall current, then going to go have a drink at @PemburyTavern most likely. 18:09:03, 2011-02-20

Lots of sharp pains in left arm tonight. Feels like I've sprained it but have done no physical work today. 00:29:43, 2011-02-19
Maybe I'll bring the shop to the next LondonFur meet. I'm not enjoying them as social events anymore anyway. 01:06:08, 2011-02-19
WTF RobotShop.com? Cheapest shipping is £17.70? For a £9.80 circuit board that's smaller than a 2p coin?? Plus £2.50 fee for a small order?! 01:55:39, 2011-02-19
CoolComponents.co.uk has the part for a couple of quid more. But my login no longer works. Signing up again.. 02:18:56, 2011-02-19
Guess they've changed databases since I last ordered from them. 02:19:19, 2011-02-19
Confirmed. Cool Components will charge £2.52 for postage on the part. 02:22:11, 2011-02-19
Oooh, except Technobotsonline.com has the part a couple of quid cheaper, and slightly cheaper postage! 02:31:08, 2011-02-19
No, not buying stuff at nearly 3am. May be a v bad idea. Sell stuff first more likely. Bed now. 02:39:00, 2011-02-19
Recyc center this morning; no finds. Mum however bought a wooden commode and a green porcelein camel. 15:04:58, 2011-02-19
I liked a YouTube video — AC360 – Anderson Cooper Entertains Bonobo Apes In Bunny Suit http://youtu.be/qsUHuurFLXM?a 20:49:42, 2011-02-19
Don't complain Anderson, you know what they say about bunnies.(YouTube http://youtu.be/qsUHuurFLXM?a) 20:50:43, 2011-02-19

@tajasel Nothing silly about that. It's one of the nicest bits of relationships. Snugglebuddies are nice too. Don't have either atm tho. :P in reply to tajasel 00:00:23, 2011-02-18
"Faulty machine" into ebay. Nothing but washing machines and smoke machines. o_O 00:02:40, 2011-02-18
Still say "You Are A Pirate" would be awesome re-recorded with kettledrums and electric guitar. Anyone got a band? PirateParty help maybe? 00:41:51, 2011-02-18
@tajasel *hugs you* Try and get some sleep. Emotions always worse at night. in reply to tajasel 02:21:32, 2011-02-18
Ugh, too tired to even wank. That's not good. Time to sleep. 02:23:14, 2011-02-18
Please sleep well all. 02:24:37, 2011-02-18
@tajasel Can't DM you back. w/o public info, I hope this morning is better. Give it a few days, weather onward *hugs tight* 14:45:17, 2011-02-18
Woke late, been to the recyc center, got free bicycle frame. Hmm, haven't eaten yet. Bad me. 14:53:21, 2011-02-18
@bobbyllew Any "Man In A Van" tips for people? Seems like a ripe subject for discussion. in reply to bobbyllew 16:06:54, 2011-02-18

Ladybug with skull-pattern on it's carapace. #theyreouttogetme 01:20:37, 2011-02-17
@respros That's why they saved them tho! The forests are where the poor & vulnerable are going to live from now on. 15:02:25, 2011-02-17
Cup of tea, a biscuit, then harass HMRC again. 15:37:18, 2011-02-17
Just sent complaint to @RoyalMail customer services. 1st Class Signed For "electronic proof of delivery" shows it was not signed for at all. 16:35:29, 2011-02-17
IIRC there's a freeware telephone "switchboard" software with features to ring certain phones & include automatic messages & recording. 17:07:05, 2011-02-17
Santander welcome packet sent to wrong Winchester Road. No postcode tho. #Santander computers can't search for name+street&number w/o it. 17:30:53, 2011-02-17
Also called HMRC back. Responce time to letters is currently at 8 weeks. Will have to call the person & check they've let them know. 17:31:46, 2011-02-17
@meekoblue They own so many former banks now tho, it's not hard to see merging 8 or more banks internal systems leading to screw-ups. in reply to meekoblue 17:43:42, 2011-02-17
That's a new one Twitter. I'm "not authorised to perform this operation". 17:44:13, 2011-02-17
You can't say you resist temptation unless you're actually tempted. 17:45:16, 2011-02-17
@meekoblue The Allience & Leicester merge seems more recent than that. We'd need a graph of complaints/absorbed-banks to see a patten. in reply to meekoblue 18:02:31, 2011-02-17

Nipping off to Budgens to see if they've got any £1 bags of doughnuts left. Mmmmm. 19:01:49, 2011-02-17
Had a great idea! #robots 20:06:21, 2011-02-17
Okay, maybe not that great. It'd probably break. 20:11:28, 2011-02-17
I'm one of just 300 people selected for a $3.5m payout from BP over the Gulf Oil Spill. They just need my card details for ID. #totallylegit 20:47:31, 2011-02-17

Messaged someone on OKCupid! That's the first time in.. 2 years? 3? 16:03:46, 2011-02-16
Something's up today. Everyone's being active in ways that are disrupting me from being active. 17:32:22, 2011-02-16
Perhaps I should have some of the demon caffeine and screw-on with it all anyway. 17:34:39, 2011-02-16
@nerdsoup That's a very familiar feeling. 17:35:09, 2011-02-16
@NiyohBeast I'm still making them, but I'm working on new moulds atm. Immediate ones would depend on if the needed moulds are still intact. in reply to NiyohBeast 18:18:43, 2011-02-16

Laundry, washing up, cooking stew. EXCITEMENT. 20:53:33, 2011-02-16
Stew pack with very little water and a little butter makes a nice chunky mash-esque sort of veg mix. That was surprisingly nice. 21:46:03, 2011-02-16
Got redbush tea in the bday mug @pandalion got me, with a big spoonfull of the manuka honey Cat got me. Love in a mug. 21:47:00, 2011-02-16
Too hot to drink just now, so quick shower and it'll be cooled enough when I get back. 21:47:41, 2011-02-16
Weird, could have sworn it was much later at night than it is. Maybe this Flux desktop shading thing is working on me? 22:29:14, 2011-02-16
I should dye my hair again. What colour? Red again? Black? Green? Blue? Would want something with depth, so no neons. #notavote 22:31:06, 2011-02-16
