@glassarmy that's amazing. what's best is that he nearly got away with it. *ponders bird smuggling as a career*
-
http://twitpic.com/1bnxa - look what i did!
-
@cses ... my room is a very isolated system
-
@tonicblue well, if you're able to see past the glare of the sun shining off my head, that is
-
today seems to be The Day Everyone Got Twitter
-
@glassarmy well i cut one side, and then i cut the other to match, but cut it a little too much, and then i had to sort out the other side..
-
@tonicblue but really where all our friends microblogging is is facebook: but this is a widget inside gmail, and is so much cooler...
-
@glassarmy oh now you want to! Everyone wants to now I've cut it... (I still have some hair, it looks pretty alright)
-
@tonicblue not even iGoogle, gMail widget. and: who cares who hosts the data if it's easy to shift elsewhere? (unlike facebook)
-
@tonicblue how are you worse than me at this? I assume yr not up for Twist and Shout, then?
-
@tonicblue getting in in the morning. i am terrible at it; yeah twist'n'shout is the dancing and steven's band and (optional) 50's clothes.
-
@narfmaster I wanted to have a chat with you about a video game competition thing this summer. Is yr # on facebook right?
-
@tonicblue they're pretty funky. i have seen them like 3 times, did not know steven was in them. Even photographed 'em...
-
@srules ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
-
@tonicblue ... depends on the dataset, surely. Just sampling every other datapoint? random? 'lessn you mean a diff meaning of frequency
-
@captainfabulous ah damn, forgot about born to be wide... but i should stay here and ready stuff for meeting with supervisor tomorrow.
-
@FreshAirRadio Yayy! You're back!
-
@Xarlaxas How involved is this? Applying a patch, or taking it apart?
-
@SongbyToad @timburke55 the worst is other people whining about having snow. We had a day, and it was brilliant.
-
@srules the "wisemac"?.. Actually, on second thoughts, I am typing this on "vroom", so maybe I shouldn't go there.
-
@srules no, it's because it's a ferrari. duh! also it has issues with making load roaring sounds, yes
-
Not getting anything done. Not sure if I'm trying. Think it might be time to food. Or to arrange drunk.
-
@glassarmy you do realize thats what Computer Professionals do, right?
-
I can feel the cold pouring off my window, but there's snow, so I don't mind.
-
@narfmaster Phoning up to talk about finding artists for a videogame competition this summer. um. details! give me a call some time today?
-
@naomilaw but you joined, which is worrying enough....Jesus, 2 weeks ago- 3 people I knew on here. Fuckin... network effect in action...
-
poking a nest of computers, wires, video drivers, robots and desklamps & wondering why none of it works particularly well
-
@naomilaw who are these people? I cannot see them. Are they imaginary?
-
@naomilaw are they not just spammers? I had one of them. Twitter makes spamming _weird..._
-
that i am working with a coat and fingerless gloves on is a bit ridiculous. especially in a shiny new however many millions building.
-
SNOW!
-
@srules are you saying that anthropomorphizin' and makin' shit cute aren't on your list of talents?
-
@srules I apologize: I forgot you aren't very good at drawing.
-
@glassarmy when did you get to sleep?
-
@tonicblue !!!! what happened?
-
@tonicblue that's hideous man, i don't know what to say. shit. you're still better at this shit than me, though.
-
@roderickhodgson on the one hand, woo, on the other :< not needing my help. What yarn did you get?! (yarn always makes me excited)
-
If you enjoy the title of your job more than your job, you're in the wrong job. --"i wrote this for you"
-
@roderickhodgson dude, gmail's where it's at...
-
@roderickhodgson ahhhh... I considered that too. But they're not quite the same, When you reply to this, will it not seem strange to fb'ers?
-
@naomilaw all i got was that lovely friction giving way crunching sound. But then I guess I was stomping over virgin.
-
three hours of fixing what i thought I'd fixed on Monday. No fun.
-
@naomilaw I guess I should leave it for the little kids nowadays to do. But it's so fun!
-
@naomilaw Yes yes, fantasia yes. Might be a while given everyone's busy all the time. & wee Rach has guests this weekend.
-
@DarioVillanueva SRN?
-
@DarioVillanueva me neither. but it's nice to see someone else is still single *glares at couples*
-
If I said today was a day where things seemed easy, I would be lying.
-
@tonicblue ...meeting my supervisor in 5. No doubt it shall be an entirely different day afterwards.
-
annnnnd: today is an okay day. now to go do some coursework.
-
i enjoy people's double takes when they see me in the forum: "... are you a postgrad?"
-
@cses i think it helps that i am so brazen about it. bumped into a postgrad i know while looking for a bowl to eat pasta from.
-
wooo, epoch party in the labs
-
though, i may have been infected by the only virus i've heard of affecting linux: rickroll. so far, so good, tho
-
@alitheg what doesn't happen!? (there was cake, the final countdown, auld lang syne and beer. and everyone brought a laptop). level 4 man!!!
-
@narfmaster it's okay, though, they forgot to clear bash history. $gedit ./bashrc &, hmmmmmmmmmmmm!
-
@roderickhodgson lolsoc as was, now compsoc. was better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick
-
@roderickhodgson woo! always a lovely feeling
-
that's another successful prerecord!
-
@glassarmy wooooo! which reminds me, i still haven't finished it...
-
We're on Fresh Air, playing "guess the theme" of the show
-
code doesn't work, delete it, copy an example, change it til it's the same as the original code, code does work. AAARGH
-
@timburke55 I was comparing them too, but I'm not sure you really can. They have different aims, and only compete by accident.
-
@narfmaster I feel that one. Before I remembered th' radio show, I was all prepared to get angry and bitter and drunk alone.
-
@richardfenn you made it! congrats! did it take you long? is paris all you hoped for?
-
@alitheg ha, that's my day, but the other way round. I forget how much you have to install to get a decent system in Windows...
-
@alitheg Ha! Not me, I put two new ones on. (After a day of installing drivers so I could, y'know, use the screen & sound & internet...)
-
Remembering my thought of a while back that the ideal model for #web2.0 apps is crack cocaine, not "functionality"
-
@fonduelover oooh, get you with your "being in the labs". ps, come to #at5west
-
@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.]
-
@tonicblue Aye, sure, you might start for reasons or productivity or to join your friends, but soon it's nothing more than a compulsion.
-
Which is to say, people procrastinate on sites dedicated to #GTD far too often for it to have a shred of humour in it.
-
@narfmaster <cynical> It'll never last... </cynical>
-
@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.
-
And now to go listen to "In the airplane over the sea" on #hypem. I just assume it's there...
-
@Tallah That is a step even further into ridiculous messages on Love Hearts. Tho', still sweeter than "FAX ME"
-
@SongbyToad excellent indeed!
-
Just adding my grandmother on facebook...
-
@glassarmy banana milkshakes can be tasty. and .... bananas have no awesome taste, i think they get by on mouthfeel. odd, cuz they're slimy.
-
@DarioVillanueva Sorry, I was asleep. So an answer now would be slightly futile. :/ Should stop doing that...
-
@srules ale makes the pain go away. ale eases you of fears, allowing words to flow from you in a steady stream.
-
@cses as if drinking needed promoting...
-
There's now a law that makes it illegal to take pictures of policemen. If I could find a riot, I'd join it.
-
@narfmaster Yeah, I only heard because of the reports on the protest. So I guess it still did some good.
-
@roderickhodgson http://bit.ly/x4eCf #photorights #liberty
-
@narfmaster Whatever gets change...
-
@roderickhodgson from which saw new #gphone . looks like it's a decent device, albeit #iclone . still broken headphone socket, tho :[
-
@MarkCorrigan That doesn't sound like any great loss...
-
@roderickhodgson #I #hear #they're #very #fashionable...
-
My street is pretty amazingly quiet, but a fire engine just went down it, lights on, horns blazing. :/ Must be somewhere pretty damn near.

westboro baptist to protest... basingstoke. http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html ... truly a joyous image.
-
People keep complimenting me online while phrasing their remarks as if they are insults, and I have no idea how or if to defend myself.
-
oh, and amazon has _finally_ decided to ship #SCOTTPILGRIM #5. Fuckin' A!
-
"There is a shortage of large black crickets, we have substituted with large browns." -phrases I didn't want to heard.
-
haha! drug money was apparently the only liquid capital available to the banks for interbank loans: http://bit.ly/sHtBF
-
@roderickhodgson They won't do shit. Having said that, it _would_ be nice for there to be decent competition. Not impossible, neither.
-
@roderickhodgson for their advertisting side,maybe.But for their consumer web apps side...how much did hotmail suck before gmail existed?
-
Hardcore! 92% on my first Cognitive Modelling assignment. Woo!
-
good work, #nigelgriffiths emailed me back. i like it when mp's email me.
-
@RubZo have you not noticed that everyone who is always posting has some kind of gadget or widget or dongle to do it for them?
-
"While there are several support groups for Internet abuse and addiction, many of them are self-defeating as they are on-line chat rooms. "
-
how many layers of irony can you count in my last tweet?
-
"One day, you will be given back every pen you've ever lost."
-
@glassarmy whoa! twitter is apparently the place to be if you want to complain about things. @glasses_direct , i have no complaints!
-
@SongbyToad you always have such lovely friday lunches, and i always have a meeting with my supervisor ... shit, in fifteen minutes...
-
That was pretty hideous, but it's not like I deserved better. :< MUCH TO DO
-
@narfmaster that's always true, but counting quality is harder than counting words.
-
oh, and @narfmaster , you free for skyping wi' DARE team sunday?
-
I wasn't drunk enough to not remember falling asleep, but I am hungover enough to not remember waking up.Also I can't walk.And am in a kilt.
-
is thinking @timburke55 is right. *stares @roderickhodgson unblinkingly*
-
@tonicblue i hear theres a lot of money in that...

@cses Welcome to yet another database of facts that you wouldn't think would be worth recording forever.
-
@roderickhodgson http://olga-k.org/entry.php/-74826 You're the expert on this stuff, have I called it right? Has face a cool idea?
-
@RubZo did you not get enough last night?
-
Super perfundo on the early eve of your day.
-
@DarioVillanueva i was under the impression that the computing server was slower than having a nice dual core to yourself
-
@DarioVillanueva such lists definitely exist - I have seen people wandering about with notebooks enough times. But--try "ghauts" or "savard"
-
I just encountered spam bug reports. I'm slightly amazed. I never even considered them possible!
-
@DarioVillanueva :/ project?
-
...oh, so that wasn't in for wednesday.
-

April is the land of freedom. I can see it shining in the distance.

@alitheg if only chrome existed on linux, firefox would lose me. it's not entirely negative that chrome's youth shines through.

@cses If you took up singing instead of talking I would hug you.
-
@RubZo was that aimed at me? Do I need to bitshift things?
-
@oh_cripes Hello Joe. I too am on twitter. How are you today?
-
@cses I would enjoy that. Christ, can you imagine: every time we talk, you start singing and I start hugging you.
-
@Jewbacchus YOU'RE a gigantic pile of manliness
-
@RubZo really? How do you do that? That sounds really useful! (it would certainly avoid the confusing situation we just got into!)
-
@oh_cripes I'll bathe in your tears when you cry because I am so much better than you! So there! :P *PFFFFFFT* PS I win, you lose
-
@jaykotak The ; I have made my peace with. How many uses of : can you name?

@cses Advanced Vision: There's still 8 people in this room alone working on it.
-
today has been a good day for ruffling people's hair
-
and, ears ringing, legs aching, to bed. What shall I play on my radio show tomorrow?

@Jewbacchus i am a tree, don't hurt me
