  • Train cancelled. On slow bus to Victoria. #
  • Off at Vauxhall Bridge for walk up Millbank. And if I should pass a cafe serving bacon rolls on the way, well… #
  • Nom nom nom. #
  • Bit of filming with Nick Clegg. Now heading back to the office. #
  • @UKParliament What’s the posh do going on in the Palace of Westminster? #
  • @UKParliament Ah, the Lord Chancellor’s breakfast. Thanks! #
  • Dear Dave, I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again: MPs stopping voting on their own salaries will only make them rise faster. #
  • @qwghlm Independent body currently sets MPs’ pay. MPs sometimes shamed into no rise. Leave it to body without vote and MPs always get rise. #
  • @qwghlm I’ve blogged about it before at http://tinyurl.com/3qk95q and http://tinyurl.com/4dptsm #
  • @qwghlm It’s a flawed system but I have little time for the idea that MPs saying they shouldn’t vote would be a selfless act on their part. #
  • I am being driven slowly made by the ArrayOfString concept and how to build it in PHP. #
  • @qwghlm Not a bad policy – certainly better than Dave was proposing. #
  • @jonathancoulton You could get a cheap Pay As You Go phone over here, e.g. http://tinyurl.com/383r63 #
  • Still struggling with SOAP. 🙁 #
  • It works! Well, almost. But good enough that I can go back to our suppliers tomorrow. #
  • @jamesgraham A job’s a job. #
  • Just destroyed a wok. Fortunately it was cheap and I have another. #

  • @qwghlm @secretlondon Obama now has the Times logo emblazoned across him. 5 points to Chris. #
  • Putting aside the absurdity of the idea that MPs debating helps, why hasn’t Parliament been recalled? Isn’t the economy important enough? #
  • chmod -R, you are my friend today. #
  • Pocket full of shrapnel. Started as useful bank notes. A useful analogy for the Second Law of Thermodynamics. #
  • @alexfoster Ah, a displacement activity. #
  • Enjoyed comedy night at the University of Arts SU. Job for tomorrow is to Google the comics… #

  • Childishly amused to find my name in Time Out’s listings: http://tinyurl.com/3vvvho #
  • Returning briefly to my Twitpic FAIL of Friday, anyone got an idea what this out of focus bug might be? http://twitpic.com/d9hi #
  • @bigbluemeanie That’s the only one. It was long with an orange bit in the middle, but not with ladybird wings. #
  • @nimbos @bigbluemeanie Ah, but could be ladybird larva. I’ll have a look for a photo to compare… #
  • @bigbluemeanie @nimbos Yes indeed – one of these: http://www.somersetmothgroup.org.uk/cache/ec1eb66b.jpg #
  • Watching Paul Newman as Henry Gondorff. #
  • Just noticed Sarah Jane Adventures is back this afternoon – on at 4.35 on BBC One, next episode on CBBC, then on iPlayer no doubt. #
  • Best probic vent hit ever. #
  • The Trial of a Time Lord DVD has deleted and extended scenes. Won’t somebody think of the children? #
  • Watching that dreadful old Shatner performance of Rocket Man. For the lulz, natch. #
  • @jamesgraham He just talked about the credit crunch “impoverishing all of us” or somesuch. He’s probably the least likely to lose out… #
  • Brain shutting down. Must be time for bed. I wonder if “sleep on it” is the human equivalent of “install updates and restart”. #

  • Aaargh. Have spent the morning sneezing. Am clearly allergic to the countryside. #
  • On the M6 doing a speed that would be perfectly legal in a built-up area 🙁 #
  • @po8crg I can’t even drive… #
  • @minifig You may have been to lovely Europe but I don’t have to work tomorrow. 🙂 #
  • Listening to a song that was my favourite. Realising it’s now nowhere near and that I don’t have one anymore. #
