@jaykotak RT myself "April is the land of freedom. I can see it shining in the distance." But, yeah, the way there does not seem fun.
-

@glassarmy Twas a shame to miss you at gigantor: Got there at about 1, and just flolloped about, legs nonfunctioning. Should meet soon(ish)!

-
@srules what? this sounds like the best train ever!
-
@robyngallagher speaking from the UK, I feel your pain. But then again, you make traveling to NZ next year seem feasible again.
-

So tired! Whew! (No-one knows much about the MATLAB imaq toolbox do they? No? forcing it to use PAL not NTSC? No? WinTV cards? Thought not)
-
further to my last message: I may still be tired, but I'm happy. video input format: set!
-
@tgadget I've gotten caught by that before, too. Wouldn't mind so much if you could delete tweets in gmail.I know, I know, space is tight...
-
http://tinyurl.com/b9c24s who likes #friends ? the tv show, i mean, not the people, they're lovely.

-
@timburke55 Even if no-one will volunteer to do it, pretty sure a couple of hundred quid waved at Inf students'll get you equal shiny.
-
@timburke55 Or, even: the backend running LSR is free, it's just the design work needed. But then I guess the issue is always migration...
-
man oh man, writing this up reveals a lot of sloppily made design choices. i guess it's always a learning process...
-
bastard ten minute gcal reminders of a club night that i love with a band i love while I'm just about to go back to dissertation.

@srules Why, that sounds delightful! And I'm not even a little envious. Nope, not a trace of seething jealousy... (tho really: have fun now)

I should have been in bed so long ago. But, Brian Blessed...

-
@infectedarea ... were you sleeping with them?
-
@infectedarea it's an ecosystem: spiders eat the bugs and geckos eat the spiders. If you just start eating the geckos, everyone wins.
-
the passive voice is starting to come more naturally now
-
@tgadget stead of click to cycle through @, d, rt , maybe a box with options for each, and option for viewing their feed? same for all names

@timburke55 if you like mushrooms: buncha mushrooms, once softened & reduced add cream, soy sauce, little salt. blend a bit. it's good.
-
@ravagement Change your name to mark Lamarr, then carry on going by Mark Jones. Simple as.
-
@thecopyninja fapping fail?
-
@npupp they do!
-
@ravagement that's the emptiest forum i've ever seen
-
@cses well, there's always twittering. (I said to myself I'd not open firefox today, and look at how well that's worked...)

@ravagement "the injury was a result of a consensual act between two parties and no crime was committed" : still not curious?

@trench that news should be more surprising. instead its just another marker of the slow decline of US power.One "Hyperpower" to "Powers"...
-
@oh_cripes @srules I wanna see that .gif!
-
@roderickhodgson how to quantify quality? and: the best resource is other people. who values without context?
-
@roderickhodgson for that matter, judging quality is a costly process, so you use heuristics. good enough is good enough.
-
@roderickhodgson leaving aside creator fame interacting with network effects. would people love firefly as much if not for the browncoats?
-
@roderickhodgson how objective are the value evaluators? note that yr eq involves investment into work: why invest in an unknown?
-
@roderickhodgson and i'm trying to explain why brands have true (na jus' perceived) value. Look at aXXo, frinstance.
-

-
@thecopyninja will there be board games?

-

@roderickhodgson i do remember about that site. but it does not offer nearly the same opportunities for bitching about the situation
-
Realizing quite how much I have to do, and in quite how much time... #dissertation. (oh, apparently about 6500 words)
-

-
@arkitus i'm on level 3, stealing computers
-
@alitheg @ravagement sorry, did i say stealing? i meant using.
-
@fonduelover i didn't mind my third. scared me, too. if it was up to me, i'd keep it, maybe without the presentations.
-
wc: 6797 #dissertation (hoping the number will increase quite dramatically the next while)

Guess who is new web master/editor/lord for http://freshair.org.uk ?
-
@cses @mikecodona may i humbly request not to see mike's penis?
-
@cses now i am struck with depression from all the \citet{TODO} s I have written. There was fun, and I missed it.
-
@DarioVillanueva my pitch was entirely "hey theres lot of widgets we could throw on the page, lets do that!"
-
@tgadget I also had that font thing. Back now, though. Weird.
-
so I seem to be listening to The Thrills' Big Sur (bit.ly/OmI8m) and the opening song to Disney's Robin Hood (bit.ly/11wrq) on repeat. ~_~
-
@tgadget clicked links also showed for me in white when i had the font glitch earlier today... refresh fixed it, though.
-
@DarioVillanueva dude, why not use cowu.be , the compsoc server? #at , too, it's quiet on imaginarynet
-
@DarioVillanueva @jaykotak @GaryBryan http://bit.ly/bGSIb : or even behind this friendly link. (OK OK, I'll back to Franz's Warping Method)
-
but there's some compensations. like the gentle blue bath of arthurs seat in the first light of the morning. fuck me, that's beautiful.
-
Dare just emailed to tell us that they can't tell us whether we've got in or not. *sigh* "beginning of next week" #dare

@mikecodona I saw you, flashing that arse about...
-
@wellinformatted mountain of pizza? where?
-
@timoncheese who says twitter's useless? now i have incentive to finish this section before newswipe's on.
-
@wellinformatted i ran down with 'em. currently eating wonton soup and drinking beer.
-
@kenmcfa sure it could. we could be eating the pizza & drinking the beer on a balmy summers nigh, on a beach in greece.
-
#dissertation #wc 10882 . And lots left. Worrying about the quantity of verbiage subjecting the markers to. What's necessary?

@oh_cripes i want #wc on my twittering during this difficult time. there must be days where twitter > dissertation
-
http://bit.ly/18rFME : Taibbi tells me how I can blame the current financial situation on corruption. We pretty fucked.

-
@tonicblue I would not imagine so: #dissertation, you know... Though... Maybe I'll out for a drink. We shall see
-
@JamesMackerness it was an impressive performance indeed. now go knock 'em dead in the presentations.
-
@Tally_cola hey! how you been doing all these years?
-
Listen, honey, there is nothing you can do to offend me. Because you don't send me, anymore. No, you don't send me.
-
@GaryBryan writing time?
-
@arkitus recently? didn't we all join in one giant twittergasm? and getsatisfaction is good, know a lot of sites that use it.
-
@roderickhodgson @arkitus not to be a dick, but good people provide value to communities. good entrepreneurs make buckets o' cash!
-
@arkitus ah, it'll die down soon enough. and twitter will become (with luck) a niche site. and folk'll say "you remember when we twittered?"
-
@roderickhodgson it's certainly a lot easier that way, yes. but sites like KMO are so good, so full of utility, so ... unmonetizable. :<
-
@arkitus actually, retraction. you've made more money than most, ie not a huge loss. what's the profits of facebook?
-
@trench #theylive is a film among films. Such mythic power!

@roderickhodgson bit late, but you don't have to stick to that format. aims => design, everything = > imple.. , success? => eval
-
@roderickhodgson *sigh* at least pretending you did trad when you did test-driven makes you looks less retarded than the opposite..
-
@rix0r as someone currently using appx 10 computers at once... i doubt me turning off the lights'll make much difference.
-
@roderickhodgson nice... been looking at those. a set with nudie ladies on? is that classy?
-
i'll have to ask my dad about #earthhour, he buys electricity for EDF UK. And so knows things about electricity demand.
-
@rix0r link dead. wonder why? can't possibly be overloaded, can it?
-
@pleasefindthis i would be very fucking surprised if you did worse than awesome. you seem born for best man speeches.
-
@mikecodona ah, fuck, you just reminded me it's midnight. Also, you should really write more...
