Today I spent two hours tracking down a bug. It was caused by Microsoft Excelâs decades-old decision to be compatible with a Lotus 1-2-3 bug, and treat 1900 as a leap year, even though it wasnât. This is how programmers spend their time.
@_pigeons_ Done.

Cor. Great set from The National at Glasto. Hurrah for iPlayer :D
And Matt Berningerâs timing. The latest last word in rock & roll :D
@matt_inwood Stonking set. Enjoy!
@shezza_t Because the last time I spent any time working in my cellar-thing, I scraped my head on the low doorway. #ouch

Different and interesting. Thanks @NewBristol :) https://t.co/YFqhQRN0yn
âGin and tonic, please.â âAny particular type of gin?â At the Pump House, thatâs something of a loaded question. https://t.co/KHDffgpH9J
@chubbybannister Me too. This is unusual in a canât-quite-figure-it-out-but-itâs-growing-on-me way ;)
@chubbybannister Pump House.
The Pump House now has approximately 670 gins. (I am not joking.)
@NewBristol Still is! On my second and enjoying it very much. https://t.co/jeH6sNKhNV

@saltwateritch VERY long.
About to try redeeming a dish. By which I mean I had a godawful version of a meal recently and now I want a good one to cancel the memory.
The awful version was a cheese ploughmanâs from Tobacco Factory. You should not have to wait for a ploughmanâs to cool down before you eat.
@bexxi Bread rolls served so hot tearing them open risked burns. Rest of plate mediocre. No butter for bread.
@bexxi I am now in a place that truly respects food. Expecting a great ploughmanâs to get me back on track ;)
@bexxi RE-DEEMED. https://t.co/zImSNYHb4e
Well done Pump House. This is what a ploughmanâs should be. Simple ingredients, each excellent in their own right. https://t.co/GJQLPMLuWJ

RT @theloop: Withings made a smartwatch you might actually want to wear - http://t.co/xAk2WGCZ98
I've often thought that "wearables" shouldn't try to re-invent the watch strap, which has worked pretty well for generations.
@ahnlak I tried to do without a watch for several months. Ended up wearing one again.
@ahnlak (Also, for wearables stuff, I want the sleep tracking, which doesn't work so well for glasses!)
@ahnlak Thin fabric strap where the buckleâs offset (NATO-style strap helps) and my own desk helps. http://t.co/247djJuGF7
*endorses @mattwritescode for chainsaw juggling on LinkedIn*
@ahnlak Not necessarily through choice; this desk has to be quite shallow to fit in the alcove. At a big desk I'd probably use a wrist rest.
@Phooto Yeah. I have tiny wrists for a bloke, so the big chunky watches with big chunky straps just don't work for me.
@ahnlak I don't know if I could cope with a standard PC keyboard any more, either. Have lost muscle tone from these low-pressure chiclets :)
Ugh. Today may need a second coffee, and some toast and marmalade.
@PULPKetchup If I had any, I'd be tempted.

RT @BristolCouncil: Structural engineers are assessing the damage to the Chocolate Path cycle/walking route along Cumberland Rd. For safetâŚ
The poor Chocolate Path has looked neglected and about-to-cave-in for a while now. Hope it's repaired with a consistent chocolate look.
(For those outside Bristol who've no idea what I'm talking about, the surface of the Chocolate Path looks like this.) http://t.co/iZaq15wAMe

Aww. Had brunch at @SourdoughCafe for probably the last time this morning, before it changes into @AhhToots. http://t.co/HdbwAWoJ4J
@hayles They're now doing @runciblespoon1, so there shall be no more Sourdough Cafe.
I have immortalised @sourdoughcafe's sign on http://t.co/1cENWe52lt at least :D
@hayles Apparently Tam's cake is amazing, so there should still be a reason to go there :)
@nineweeks Only place I know is Colonna & Smalls, so it probably depends just how into coffee you are :)
RT @hayles: So, apparently @AhhToots do a gin and tonic cake and I think I need to test it. For science. http://t.co/BQJQc69m5r

@imyke I used Sketchup for mine, but I admit a 3D model may have been a little OTT.

@adamgasson Good luck.
2013
Damn it. http://t.co/66uluy0Dcj killed its RSS feed. I remember the joy when they started RSS feeding the comics in the first place...
@Catreia Whoooooooo! :D
@Catreia *Applause*
@stillawake Well, *before* they put the feed up, someone else had knocked up a feed from the site by hand anyway. I give it a week...
@ahnlak I mean they killed having the comic embedded in the RSS. I think that's how it was before, in 2008.
@ahnlak Strange, though, to do it from 2008 to 2013, and stop just when Reader dies...
@ahnlak Also, Iâm pretty confident I could make money from a sponsored RSS feed read by that many geeks.
@Adamy323 :)
@BangsandaBun That sounds pretty damn lush to me, and I don't even have sunburn...
@njj4 I think Google decided that they'd rather everyone used Google+, even though it seems to solve a different problem.

@BlackDogDays @stillawake Aww. Soz to hear that. Iâll be working at Watershed this morning, so still up for cross-harbour chips, Jo?
@benjohnbarnes Yo. I'm about.

@stillawake Just left on the ferry. Have to be at tâbuttery :)
On the cross-harbour ferry. http://t.co/B0xSZVlr
@stillawake Are you following me? :)
@BlackDogDays @stillawake :( Well, Iâm probably free next week, tooâŚ
@petedrinks Fentimans style. Was just nattering about it to someone t'other day and got curious about making it myself.
@hayles Never liked Cafe on the Square. The Gusto's actually not bad. I'd also cross Centre to get to Espirito; depends how far you'd go.
@hayles Me and @missemmeline tried to find a really good place when we were working Victoria Street/Queen Square ourselves...
@hayles ...but never found anywhere that awesome. Used to have to go further afield, St. Nick's, etc.
@hayles Next time, try Espirito, but I don't know if it's that great a location for a sunny day.
@hayles (Street next to Hippodrome, between optician and Mainline recruitment, as-was, just a little way down on left. Food & drink good.)
@CoreStrengthUK @hayles And if you want a really cheap place to escape work, it's near the Westherspoons, of course :D #alkiematt

What? A post-ribeye Makerâs Mark? Donât mind if I do.
@stillawake Sorry.
@stillawake (Really good chips, too. Sorrier.)
@BlackDogDays @stillawake The lunchtime ones were good. The ones I just had at the Cowshed were fab. Please do not hold this against me. X
@BlackDogDays CAKEZEN. My favourite zen.

@chris_j_hughes Yur. Flying visit with Kavey + Pete (Pete == Ganders; year above at Warwick...)
I can massively recommend @redemptionbrew beer, and I am *not* just saying that because I've had three various pints :) #crouchend #London

@chrisphin @stitchbitch tidy one single area until it's a more serene place to slob, then give yourself permission to slob (important).
@talkie_tim Which shop, pray tell?
@tsunimee well, I just hope the man isn't ticklish.
@chrisphin By a process of deduction, I'd say they're likely looking to change their AOL passwords.
@chrisphin Similarly, YouTube commenters would use the query "lol how change pass ur moron".
Hmm. This may be a good time to buy a Kindle.
@TTApress If I already subscribe to Black Static and IZ, is there a good (i.e. cheapest) way to add Crimewave?
Think I'm skewing the stats by answering Guardian iPhone app surveys. No way to say, "but that's because I only use the app once a month!"
RT @philmonger: There is a GIANT FUCKING SWARM OF BEES trying to break into Natwest bank on Corn Street #moneybees http://twitpic.com/1zsqbd
@philmonger Clearly my curses have started working. Lloyds TSB card fraud services had better watch out for the fleas of a thousand camels.
@MGBS4 Sure it'll be a good walk regardless. Much rather be out taking photos than down the pub.
@TTApress cool, ta for reply! At least I know I'm not missing a deal if I just take out a new sub :)
Hmm. Bristol Flickr walk tomorrow seems to go around places I normally am week in week out. Still, that's a challenge, I suppose.
@philmonger Sadly they'd mostly buzzed off when I went past just now!
@Dan_Martin will that make it the second time you've seen a live performance of Combine Harvester within a week?
@Dan_Martin Oh, sorry, thought you were at Bill Bailey on Sunday!
Anyone who enjoys Mongrels on BBC3 tonight should go watch Pets, pretty much the original, though uncredited, and fab. http://bit.ly/a7ENiW
(If you are into foulmouthed animal pupptry, http://petscomedy.com/ is the Pets internet hub...)
A wedding reception just drove past me on the Hotwell Road http://flic.kr/p/8df3gg #Bristol
@Dan_Martin I think they should do Bill Bailey in the style of Kraftwerk in the style of the Wurzels. The universe would implode.
New series of The IT Crowd: 10pm, Channel 4.
@twitttles Why thank you. Although I try to aim for truly grumpy yet occasionally gentle. Hrmph.

@ahnlak Although am now a clearly-biased owner ;)
@ahnlak the voice-control could be handy for some people, too. Seems to work okay.
@ahnlak having used both, I'd say speed, a half-decent camera and the compass (great for viewing maps; auto-aligns with the real world!)
@mistymaria get your data in multiple columns, insert pivot table, play with drag & drop, make nice graph. Job done.
@scottejames ooh... It Tweets! Morning dear.
Morning off! Yay! Mostly so I can have a lazy morning and take Pete and Emily off to catch their bus to Glastonbury.

@boagworld curses. Really enjoyed last week's show, by the way.
