  19. …in reply to @undefined
    @SongbyToad @timburke55 the worst is other people whining about having snow. We had a day, and it was brilliant.
  20. …in reply to @srules
    @srules the "wisemac"?.. Actually, on second thoughts, I am typing this on "vroom", so maybe I shouldn't go there.
  21. …in reply to @srules
    @srules no, it's because it's a ferrari. duh! also it has issues with making load roaring sounds, yes

  28. …in reply to @undefined
    @naomilaw who are these people? I cannot see them. Are they imaginary?
  29. …in reply to @undefined
    @naomilaw are they not just spammers? I had one of them. Twitter makes spamming _weird..._
  30. that i am working with a coat and fingerless gloves on is a bit ridiculous. especially in a shiny new however many millions building.

  42. …in reply to @undefined
    @naomilaw all i got was that lovely friction giving way crunching sound. But then I guess I was stomping over virgin.
  43. three hours of fixing what i thought I'd fixed on Monday. No fun.
  44. …in reply to @undefined
    @naomilaw I guess I should leave it for the little kids nowadays to do. But it's so fun!

  63. …in reply to @timburke55
    @timburke55 I was comparing them too, but I'm not sure you really can. They have different aims, and only compete by accident.
  64. …in reply to @aeoye
    @narfmaster I feel that one. Before I remembered th' radio show, I was all prepared to get angry and bitter and drunk alone.
  65. …in reply to @undefined
    @richardfenn you made it! congrats! did it take you long? is paris all you hoped for?
  66. …in reply to @alitheg

  70. …in reply to @fonduelover
    @fonduelover ... GASP! [I dislike it too, but the West lab is pretty much colonized. And as can be seen from this, I'm working solidly.]
  71. …in reply to @tonicblue
    @tonicblue Aye, sure, you might start for reasons or productivity or to join your friends, but soon it's nothing more than a compulsion.
  72. Which is to say, people procrastinate on sites dedicated to #GTD far too often for it to have a shred of humour in it.
  73. …in reply to @aeoye
    @narfmaster <cynical> It'll never last... </cynical>
  74. …in reply to @aeoye
    @narfmaster Don't get me wrong, it is the future. It's just getting too popular too fast for _somebody_ not to kick sand over the picnic.
  75. And now to go listen to "In the airplane over the sea" on #hypem. I just assume it's there...
  76. …in reply to @Tallah

  83. There's now a law that makes it illegal to take pictures of policemen. If I could find a riot, I'd join it.
