  • 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. #
  • @doctorvee http://tinyurl.com/2z29km #

  • I wonder how many complaints the BBC got for Ainsley Harriott’s use of the F-word on Who Do You Think You Are… #
  • Writing some convoluted but useful MySQL. #
  • Inspired by David Suchet and Ainsley Harriott, I’m rummaging through an online archive index http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ #
  • Things I have discovered hurt: a chunky mobile phone falling on your head. #
  • @jamesgraham N95 8GB. It’s a potential death trap. #
  • @alexfoster Not without installing an application. #
  • @jamesgraham Not the S60 version. #
  • Mate texting that he’s an hour late for his own birthday drinks = I can haz Macdonalds. #
  • Piccadilly Circus a pedestrian nightmare as ever. Glad I rarely come round here. #
  • Guy in this club has my Dorkington Hackers t-shirt, albeit in a different colour. #
  • @wilw In club in London, just been talking about you + Belle & Seb. Straight away Boy with the Arab Strap has come on. #
