Twitter Updates for 2008-09-26 Sep 26
  • Have switched from Feedburner back to my normal WordPress feed for http://www.libdemblogs.co.uk as posts weren’t coming through properly. #
  • Stayed up late to wait for washing to finish and then forget to empty machine. Laundry FAIL. Making up for it via the cafetière. #
  • @bigbluemeanie Ooh, Chertsey – home of some of my ancestors. #
  • @dopplr I’m going to Windermere on September 26th until September 28th. #
  • As blogged last night, here’s a great Doctor Who video compilation: http://tinyurl.com/4mh3qy #
  • @lfeatherstone I’m annoyed that WordPress repeatedly fails to write my blog posts for me. I thought it was supposed to be clever. #
  • @katebevan Twitter’s tracking US election stuff: http://tinyurl.com/3wccgu #
  • Realising the reason everything looks a bit different is that I’ve come out shopping without my glasses on. #
  • Dear World, Today I have learnt not to try finding my way round new places without optical assistance. Love, Squinty McSquint. #
  • Home alone on a work day is a recipe for prolific twittering. Sorry. At least I’ve not yet started twittering about twittering. #
  • @markpack I say it’s nature rather than nurture. #
  • What I should be doing: tidying. What I am doing: coding and watching Murder, She Wrote with best ep title: “We’re Off to Kill the Wizard”. #
  • Notable guest stars in this episode: James Coco (who’s in one of my favourite films, Murder By Death) and young Joaquin and Summer Phoenix. #
  • Code does what it should, which is good. Time to pack and tidy. Maybe on game of Word Twist first… #
  • Off to the Lake District. Laterz. #
  • http://twitpic.com/d9hi#
  • You have been sent a media message from +447904117421.View it at http://mmsi2legacy.o2.co.uk by typing in your ID:447624801423 and PIN:5 … #
  • OK, what we’ve learnt it that I can’t use TwitPic. I’m after an identification for the insect in that photo. #
  • “It’s junction 44.” “Of the M6?!” “Yeah. No, sorry, 4A.” #
  • Listening to an ELO compilation in the car and remembering how much I love Love and Monsters. Hurrah for RTD. #
  • “I take it you’ve been playing the traditional motorway drinking games.” No, but it might explain how Emma Bunton got on the CD player. #

  • @secretlondon Here you go, from @drewb http://www.flickr.com/photos/drewbflickr/2886481799/ #
  • @qwghlm I thought it was VisitBritain… #
  • @qwghlm Maybe not – I think I was looking for a final frame on the tube and saw a Visit Britain ad… #
  • Half day today. 3pm finish isn’t too bad… Back on Tuesday. And walking home I see one of the parliamentary offices has been evacuated. #
  • Had invites to five different activities tonight. Have opted for the smallest and closest to home. #
  • Evening stroll to Sydenham with a charged Nano and a bottle of red. #
  • Loving Robot Chicken Star Wars. #
  • Watching Black Books. Really haven’t seen enough of it… #
  • @jamesgraham One of my many talents is an ability to sing the Mysterious Cities of Gold theme. In French. #
  • @snapesbabe There’s little that would get me to watch QT. Maybe in exchange for missing Any Questions. #
  • @binarytales Me neither. Been on my to do list for a while but still some way off. #
  • Excellent: Lib Dem gain from the Conservatives in Camden by-election. #
  • @mpntod Congratulations on the result! #

What are you doing here? Sep 25

Mr Cornell and Mr Guerrier draw my attention to this rather brilliant Doctor Who video by the extremely persistent Andrew Liddell. It speaks for itself, so here it is:

Both Mr C and Mr G also feature in this nice article about writing Who.

Update: Mr G suggests in the comments that I might like to plug the book that the Herald article is about. Here you go.
