Train delayed again. After a reasonable few months, it’s been late every day this week. #
@secretlondon Future of Web Apps expo. I’m not going, sadly. #
@secretlondon I will be spending the day writing one if I can get the boring stuff out of the way quickly. #
Just learnt what happens if down escalator you’re on suddenly stops. Shuddering; loud noise; forward momentum; woman next to you swearing. #
Eating fantastic chocolate brownies a colleague made to thank @markpack #
And the latest scores coming in: Will 1 – 0 PHP.INI #
@jamesgraham There’s a plugin called Twitter Tools. #
@ruskin147 Yup. And keep my Facebook status separate from my twitters but have a twitter app on my Facebook profile. #

@snapesbabe That actually happened in a Doctor Who novelisation… #
@secretlondon Remember seeing McCain singing “Bomb Iran” on YouTube to the tune of a Beach Boys song… #
@jamesgraham Ah, actually it was a Doctor Who reference book. “On the planet Dildo, the TARDIS crew split up.” #
Installing WordPress MU and getting ready to put PMQs on in the background. #
Got a nice new install of WordPress MU working. #
Changing my afternoon work plans in response to a phone call. And wondering whether to add a couple of new jokes to my standup set. #
@ruskin147 Why do you think Facebook has made been so successful compared to other social networking sites? #
Off to gig. Nice long walk to go over my lines. Pretty much decided against changing my set – will see how it goes. #
@HelenDuffett Thanks. The ones I decided against might actually be worse. Still contemplating using one 🙂 #
Pleased to report set went OK. Could have done a couple of bits better but not to worry. People laughed at the right bits… #
@Sourdust Yes, I’ll be working on all bits that are left. #

Realising that the bloke I just passed in the street who I couldn’t quite place is the MP for Henley. #
@minifig Indeed. The current one is rather anonymous. #
Having a rant about the de Menezes inquest: http://tinyurl.com/4z9a3d #
@secretlondon Does your mom install ask you for Positioning positions every few seconds if you use GPX? #
@secretlondon Ah, excellent, thanks. #
@reyes Hehehe 🙂 #
Think I’m going to have do some serialize/unserialize stuff with this code. New skillz. #

My train is late and I can see my breath. Hello, autumn. #
Coach load of middle-aged people and pensioners being dropped off at Parliament. Is this the House of Lords school bus? #
Trying out TweetDeck. #
@stephmog Did you manage to get her to read out “I’m a patronising, talentless waste of the broadcast spectrum”? If so, well done. #
@secretlondon Now installing mom… #
Outside Parliament. Bizarre mix of church wedding bells and drumming and shouting protesters in Parliament Square. #
I can accept tourists blocking other pedestrians by walking three wide – it’s a fact of life. PCSOs should know better. Grumble grumble. #
Reading the BBC’s coverage of evidence to the de Menezes and literally stunned by the police chiefs’ complacency and insensitivity. #
Banged my head cooking my first chicken chausseur. Ow. And by “my”, I obviously mean the sauce is from a packet. #
@HelenDuffett @alexfoster Thanks. Hit it hard on the side of a door. No blood, just pain and a bump. Chicken was tasty though 🙂 #
