@plasticbagUK No spoilers for those of us not in the US, please and thank you 🙂 #
@katebevan Not sure, but would it be odd to have protected updates but public on your blog? (Can you even do it with protected updates?) #
A bit nervous about something I’m doing later on. If it goes well, I’ll share. If it doesn’t, let’s pretend it never happened. #
@stephmog Thanks! #
I am pleased to report that my first stand up set actually went OK and people laughed. Which was a relief. #
@paulbradshaw Early to mid morning, Tuesday to Thursday. #
@HelenDuffett WDYTYA will be an iPlayer priority, as usual. #
Got a nagging memory of being invited somewhere on the 3rd but can’t remember where or by whom. Not a FB event… #
Oh yes – going to see The IT Crowd recorded. Excellent! #
@rfenwick On my screen it said "This is not for you, it’s for @rfenwick." So Web 2.0. #

Fitful night’s sleep culminating in a nightmare that just woke me up. Too much cheese on my pizza last night? #
@snapesbabe Don’t blame us, it’s not an official feed 🙂 #
@apeatling Torn mine is great. Was first shown the video by a colleague who was at uni with him when he was first performing it. #
@snowgoon Hmm, spoilers from US twitterers could be a problem, couldn’t it? Maybe I should be as wary about twittering Doctor Who. #
@HelenDuffett The good is you can always top up your Oyster 🙂 #
Queue at Tesco too long to buy breakfast but finally worked out that “8-9” on the door is address rather than opening hours. D’oh. #
@ruskin147 Fishburn Hedges PR firm. They inspired us to get party members hashtagging from Lib Dem conference. #
Retweeting @qwghlm: Oh this is nice, very nice http://www.youtube.com/experiencewii #
@jamesgraham Sticks it up Uranus. #
Listening to Brown’s speech and trying not to throw up. Apparently a full stop is an applause line. #
@stephmog No, rarely look at pb.com… #
Ah, I see why Labour are collecting people’s DNA: they want to test it for “fairness”. #
I can see why some people would like Gordon Brown’s rhetoric, but it’s a complete turn-off for me. #
@paulbradshaw My N95 reboots a fair bit but I’m not sure if it’s a phone problem or the SIM. #
Trying to decide whether I believe Outlook’s claim that I have 12,440 items in my Inbox. #
Looks like I’m going to the Lake District at the weekend. And relax… #
@HelenDuffett “We will help you achieve (what we think is) your potential – whether you want to be helped or not.” #
Trying to decide which DVD to watch. Comedy, West Wing, Murder She Wrote or Lost… #
An evening with Aunt Jess it is. This one’s got Dean Jones, Dan O’Herlihy and Lynn Redgrave in. First season good for guest stars so far. #
More Saint Angela of Lansbury. Guest stars include Peter Graves and Greg Morris off of Mission: Impossible. #

Tired and hoping The Cold isn’t coming for me. And belatedly listening to lots of 10cc thanks to @miketd’s blog. #
Total of three friends have now fallen foul of Facebook hack spam. Not good for the platform at all. #
@jamesgraham Richard Wilson or Richard O’Brien? #
Talking my new intern through doing stuff, which will hopefully free up my time to do other stuff. #
Sick of emails. Job running. Tempted to use the time to code something fun. #
Fun coding with text messaging API seems to work. Live implementation some way off but could be cool. #
Like the train barriers with Obama on. When I put my ticket through he waves at me. #
@secretlondon Visit Britain, I think. Saw some on the Tube this morning. It’s not immediately clear. #
Watching my mate David on BBC Four’s Only Connect. #
@secretlondon I’ll see what I can do. It’s a photo of Obama outside Number 10. #
Muchly enjoying the video the video to Mark Ronson’s cover of Radiohead’s Just. #
Wish my JavaScript stretched to fixing this very annoying bug. #
@katebevan That’s very cool 🙂 #
OK, Google Map doesn’t work 100% the way I want but workarounds enough for the job. Good good. #

Deciding not to wait for the post-club eaters to share a cab and heading for the night bus. Must… stay… awake… #
Starting to worry that, despite TfL website and timetables and signs at bus stop, the 176 isn’t coming here. Second bus now due and no sign. #
Rang TfL who promised bus really is coming past this stop but is late. I’ll believe it when I see it. #
176 has just parked up around the corner. Looks like it will be the 2.30 – fingers crossed. Doesn’t explain the missing 1.50 and 2.10. #
@secretlondon Ah, that would explain it. Wish I’d known when I turned down taxi. Nothing on TfL wap that I saw. #
Executive decision: cab. #
@stephmog Cheers 🙂 Main annoyance was turning down a cab share and then having to pay on my own. Got me home quickly and safely though. #
@stephmog Not up – awake but lying in catching up with teh internets and wondering what to do today. #
Strong cup of tea and a couple of tea cakes (the doughy type). Tempted to put Murder, She Wrote DVD on but the sun is tempting me outside… #
It appears to of my twittering friends may have been at Middle Temple Hall simultaneously… #
Pleased with the gratuious Google Maps mashup I’ve coded this afternoon. Now thinking of equally gratuitous bells and whistles. #
Fixing some code that was broken when TheyWorkForYou introduced API keys. #
@markpack That would overload the API. #
Watching Roxy Music documentary on teh iPlayer. #
