@4r7hr I felt like I might have got there in the end, on a good day.
@stillawake It's absolutely rammed in Hotwells. I was wondering how many of the cars would have been kept out by the clean air zone; the air is foul out there right now.
@outonbluesix My least-remembered trio are probably Luna https://t.co/7t5v5n6Ro9, Dead Earnest: https://t.co/akSDk1jjns and The Gaffer https://t.co/eRBIzHLFlZ though I do sometimes come across someone who at least remembers one of them...
@KimCasey1971 @outonbluesix Another Luna fan in the house!
@stillawake The stinkiest car was a giant Bentley. I'd guess they'd just pay the £30; it probably cost them that in petrol to crawl the length of Hopechapel Hill.

@Bristolvor Some thoughts on the Withings Activité, that may eventually become a blog post.
@Bristolvor (Also playing about with Scrivener on mobile, which I normally use on a grown-up computer. See if it syncs reliably, etc…)
And as I walk home with the podcast playing in my left ear only, I become more convinced that a lack of unreliable wires is the future.

Just spent a long time in @Jessops (thanks! Bristol store very helpful & knowledgeable!) checking out a couple of cameras. Tempted.
@Narshada Looking at a Canon 6D and a Fuji X-T1.
@psidnell My mum was a fan!
@6Sync Any connectivity problems at the mo? Seem to be seeing very slow network in/out. Ta!
@Narshada Problem is, they both tempt me, but if I go up to full frame, it means a couple of new lenses, too. £££
@6sync Things seem to be fine now, thanks—did you poke something? Maybe just something transient...
@6sync Cool, thanks. If I see it happen again I'll try to grab some info.
@JannerTM Nope. Very, very tired right here.
@charwarz Amen. Can't quite believe the shops are filling up with chocolate Santas already. *cries*
@Narshada Luckily will only need a couple of upgrades. Probably still not got the budget to go "full L" though :D
On the plus side for my wallet, now I've played around with an iPhone 6 in person, I want one even less than I did before.
@JannerTM I think I might set Dr Who for recording and send myself to bed.
RT @FacesPics: These chairs actually look really menacing.. http://t.co/rqjI3lfols
@Antimitch Already thought it a bit big. Hoping to be wowed in person. Just felt a bit plasticky. And I don’t like the protruding camera.
@Antimitch Felt less… Solid, perhaps. And if I hadn’t known it was aluminium I’d have thought it was plastic. And doesn’t lie flat.
@Antimitch Your mileage may vary. Maybe I was just in the wrong mood. But I think if I upgrade it’ll be to a 5S.
@Antimitch Straight 5.
@Antimitch I make apps for iOS too. And have a couple of Nexuses. I think they’re both good platforms.

@Trangofarm Crazy people.
@RellyAB Is it warm?
@RellyAB Ah well, worth a go. Sometimes they get stuck doing something intensive, which can be user-curable, but probably not if cool.
@RellyAB My commiserations.
@Trangofarm Looks like a nice morning for queueing, anyway. How's it going?
@Trangofarm Could’ve been worse, then… https://t.co/zVV1J8mNtR

@Thehappyfatgirl Well, I'd start with, "'Ere, moi luvver, can I as a quick wurd, like?"
@Thehappyfatgirl I'm sure you can get a "Don't Be So Bristle" card from Asdal.
Huzzah! #pork @ Grillstock http://t.co/ZTkZjPZH
@Thehappyfatgirl I had pork. It was nice. #microfoodblog
It would be quicker for me to go and buy film than to wait for the camera to fire up in Instagram under #ios6.
@hayles And… Yes, good. But it failed to AMAZEBALLS me.
@1Rj1978 They might already have an update in the pipeline. Think I'll wait a few days and see what comes along.
@derekarridge Nah, they're doing another coat.
@Taras_Table He's a very nice man. Tell him I sent you, maybe he'll fit that extra socket I wanted :D
@Thehappyfatgirl @liveindetail No, I'm off to a birthday tea party on Saturday...
@Taras_Table Damn. Oh well, worth a try!
Plastered. http://t.co/TsWzjFTf
@hayles Sorry. I tried to be AMAZEBALLSED, I really did. Will try them again to see if I really am pork-incompatible.

@Ninja_lynneja You were aiming for the right?
"Good SEO is a by-product of not being a dick on the internet." This is very true. @mattgemmell on SEO: http://t.co/G4hqAvD1
Gah! New @instagram much faster to use, but the Gotham filter seems to be gone?
@PeteWilliams Twenty for me. I believe the answer to your rhetorical question is "with grim inevitability."
@chrisphin Further to our talk of geotagging and "don't tag my home", just seen a new feature in Flickr... http://t.co/F0AJMewo
@LouisTrapani What do you think? Technical reasons, or they were sued by a movie studio? :/
@LouisTrapani It didn't need to be any simpler, damn it!
@chrisphin Yet again, I invent a shiny new idea only to find it's so well-established it's got a cute name already. #geofencing #damnit
Well, that's an unexpected drawback of the new camera. Three photos from that batch were too big for Flickr. What's the limit, I wonder?
@MandinaM Pro all the way. I suspect my files might have been Really Quite Big.
Hrm. Odd. Flickr claims to have a limit of 20MB, but the three photos it didn't like were all between 10 and 13MB. Something odd going on.
@KaveyF 60D :D
Anyway. All up there now. Here are my snaps from the Bristol Flickr Group's (Slightly Wet) Autumn Walk on Sunday :D http://t.co/OEJBy33b
@ChinaShopBull I treat Flickr as a semi-backup of my best photos, so generally upload original sizes.
@ChinaShopBull But this strategy may change now my photos are hitting 10MB+ with the new camera. Previously average probably < 4MB.
@rbrwr Either I'm doing something wrong, or that's not true. Seems to be 10MB based on my current experimentation.
@ChinaShopBull Yes; I've just never had to think about it before. I don't generally throw data away if there's no pressing need.
@Mouse_House I think I'd probably fall asleep in any evening meeting. I can fall asleep in 10am meetings after coffee and coke.
@Mouse_House I know that feeling. I've been tired and headachey all day because I went to bed too late. And *now*, I'm awake.
@Mouse_House Excellent. Let's be grumpy and unamused with the world. GRRR.
It seems... optimistic. Let's say optimistic.
@Mouse_House Yes. It'd be nice if we could cause and effect a bit more often when it comes to grumpiness. Odd, innit? Bah.
@Mouse_House *_connect_ cause and effect, I meant.
@Mouse_House Yes. But they're also pretty damn spectacular when they're at their best, so we probably shouldn't shoot them all.
@Juggzy Mmmm. Proper good heat, too. I liked it very much.
@technex There's certainly a lot of munchies involved, too.
@BlackDogDays Hope you like 'em. Have a cuppa for me :)
@jorence Never bothered before. Flickr's a kind of backup of my best stuff, so I just throw the originals up.
@jorence I keep my originals on three separate hard disks and upload the best "originals" to Flickr.
@jorence Mostly because, if my house burned down, that would be the only thing left.
@jorence I was using Mozy, but they upped their prices. Lightroom photo folder currently 364GB, too :) And now an 18 megapixel camera *sigh*
