Oh, a pneumatic drill in the street outside. Ideal working conditions. #gah

@RamonY1970 @EmmaFurious @jorence Feeling fine. Sure I'll get round as the Bath Half wasn't long ago! Just want to enjoy the day :D
@RamonY1970 @EmmaFurious @jorence ...only thing that'll bother me is if it's chucking it down. *crosses fingers for good weather*
@EmmaFurious @RamonY1970 @jorence Sure you'll be pleasantly surprised by how well it goes. I was for my first, which was last year's 10K!
@EmmaFurious @RamonY1970 @jorence Here's my race blog from last year -- might give you a flavour of tomorrow... http://bit.ly/aclmyX

@Swishrelic Presumably you've had it professionally searched for footballs?
@hayles *sympathy* Here, have a virtual cup of tea.
Trying to send back my Sennheisers for repair. They sound great, but the remote control has died :(
So, hours of pneumatic drilling starting before 8am on a Saturday were to install _one bike stand_? #Bristol http://lockerz.com/s/101495401
Waiting in t'barbershop. Want to be streamlined for the 10K tomorrow :)
@RamonY1970 Think I was a smidge under 17 stone for last year's. And Mike who ran with me had a chest infection! No probs :)
@RamonY1970 @EmmaFurious @jorence Also, you'll be surrounded by qualified medics. Probably safe than staying at home!
Streamlined for the morning :) http://lockerz.com/s/101507644

@BlackDogDays Huh? DId one go missing?
@johnfbraun I reckon I can reduce my drag coefficient by 0.2 just by trimming the beard.
@johnfbraun Helium's a good plan, but I feel that my high-pitched squeal of triumph on crossing the finish line may give the game away.
@the3rdgirl I really should get around to watching it, shouldn't I?
@BlackDogDays Presumably, next year, they'll clean the pole...
@CoreStrengthUK Thanks!
@crookedfootball Do you have an example of one that doesn't work?
@crookedfootball That is working just fine for me. Can you see the info page at bit.ly for that link? i.e. http://bit.ly/jDfKFi+
@crookedfootball Hmm. DNS, routing or firewall problem, then, I guess. Erm. Have you tried turning it off and on again? #sorry
@crookedfootball Do you get any particular error?
@crookedfootball Odd. Only thing I'd try before troubleshooting gets more complicated than 140 characters is a different browser :)
RT @Narshada: Saw a woman today who'd drawn her eyebrows so high up her forehead, I wasn't sure who looked more surprised, me or her.
@crookedfootball Consider going to the pub and seeing if it's working when you get back. A useful troubleshooting tool, in my experience.
Nice one, Mr. Gaiman. #drwho
@RamonY1970 @jorence If I miss you at the start, will probably be in Rocotillos about a half hour after the finish :) #milkshake #tradition
@iandeeming That sounds like an occasion worth keeping a baseball bat around for.
@EmmaFurious @jorence It's amazing how short Park St seems when there's a Crunchie Bar and honey milkshake with your name on it at the top!
@EmmaFurious @jorence Rocotillos is normally so packed with runners it's hard to get a seat. Think they're used to it!
@EmmaFurious @jorence Anyway. That's where I'll be heading because Mike always buys me a milkshake after a Bristol race. #freeshake #win
Think I'm about ready. #bristol10k #howmuchcrap? http://lockerz.com/s/101629794
@JamesCookSG I will be bringing up the rear. Last year I managed 1:09:28, and I doubt I'll be much faster this time around :)
@JamesCookSG @WL_SRUMSEY_LFC Cool. Good luck!
Roight. Bedtime. Good luck to everyone in the #Bristol10K tomorrow! Sleep well :)

@jorence Happy birthday for yesterday, by the way. Read your blog at 0:01 this morning!
@nyssapod Won't heels help on the way up? Take both! ;)
@tsunimee Hokay.
@record_industry @tom_watson I would re-tweet that, but presumably that's going to become retrospectively illegal.
@bexxi Well, don't try all at once, or you'll choke.
@ahnlak And yet again, I'm very glad someone's paying that much attention :)
@ahnlak Ouch. Looking at the source, I'd guess it's remained unchanged since sometime around the web 0.8 days...
@ahnlak If someone web 2.0 and ironic had written it, it'd be perfectly-validating XHTML and JavaScript behind the scenes ;)

@Glinner How long have you left it? Had that once, left it at the Apple logo for five minutes, it came back to life. Been fine since.
@RavenousRaven In an emergency, phone yourself up and leave yourself a voicemail of the melody before you forget :)
@ianoxley Presumably so you're not so annoyed when this one ends on a cliffhanger rather than being self-contained.
Hey, I finally did something with http://domainillneverfuckinguse.com . Warning: contains fucking language.
@jorence :)
@Squonk Not a big fan of ads. Have shoved a referral link for my favourite to-do list service at the bottom; at least that's appropriate...
@mattgemmell Yeah, but at least you can add "very handy on the internet" to your CV.

OS X 10.5.7 installed on both machines, and so far I've noticed one fix and no problems. Smooth.
@nmg Ta. Will try that when I do the hall and kitchen!
Ah, DIY, where marketing meets reality. Am just sanding my no-sand filler, in preparation for two coats of one-coat gloss.
