Hrm. My Amazon parcel is arriving “today, before 9pm”. In my experience, if it still says that at gone 5pm it means they’re not going to bother.

@mippy There's a clear dividing line between people who have established an identity and personality—with a real name or not—and people who joined Twitter last week with the name TRUMPBREXITAN9293748 who do nothing but retweet and hate-reply. "Anonymous" is a scattergun epithet 🙁
Hello, Peter! 🐰#changechecker https://t.co/Xh5xlmlDBF
Your quest is to transfer an application from one Google Play account to another. You are in a maze of twisty console pages, all looking alike. You have been eaten by a grue.

@hayles Hardly any. Wasn't really feeling it today :(

@ahnlak Yeah; the wire's only there so I can ssh in to it. Apart from the somewhat blinky/hacky screen update it's all working pretty well.
@HarringtonBear Sorry! #notsorry
@aallan Hah. Just scored a Dead Pony Club from this Wetherspoons in Weston and had a very similar thought!
@ahnlak (Very nearly all the work is being done on a (PHP) server producing 800x600 image; the Kindle's just blatting it on the screen.)
@chubbybannister Am watching sun set in beer garden in Weston. Brewdog extra bonus. 🍺 🍻
@chubbybannister Yeah. The Cabot Court. May need to hunt down fish & chips in a bit.
@chubbybannister Think I passed them earlier. Ta.

@YodelOnline Yes, thanks, all arrived safely.
@ahnlak My response to this sort of thing is to replace it with a heavier one.
@ahnlak I doubt there's much reason in the mind of someone who steals a window box.
@ahnlak Yur. I have "window box" on my shopping list, but I'm currently remembering to water a hanging basket, so the bar's already high...
@ahnlak It's your duty to report any data point that could lead to them catching The Fast-Fingered Finchley Flower Filcher and his crew.

I'd forgotten what a monster I created, all those years ago. http://t.co/hD5CDjJDGu
@ahnlak It’s not too bad, I suppose. Now, any idea if I can force the BIOS to recognise new SATA drive without plugging monitor in?
@ahnlak It *appears* not. But I can’t find a VGA cable to find out :(
@ahnlak Just ordered a cheapie from Amazon. Hopefully it’ll be here tomorrow.
Why do iOS updates always turn bloody Bluetooth back on?
@Malarkey Guessing there’ll be an extension for it, if there’s not already.
Aha! You can turn the distracting word-prediction thing off in the keyboard settings. #ios8

@Phooto Hurrah! So, if I get one of those, will you buy me an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPad to go with it? :D
@Phooto I've no idea. I don't think I own any Bluetooth devices, so I've never needed to check. I've got a 3GS...
@Phooto (Actually, that's not true; my keyboard, mouse and trackpad are BT, but I only use them with the Mac anyway...)
@Phooto There's a new RAZR? Aww.
Hrm. I appear to have a problem that could potentially be financially damaging. http://t.co/WBFZUTNU
@Phooto What, Get Running? It doesn't do anything bluetoothy at all...
@Phooto Don't get me wrong; I'm sure BT is a great solution. Just don't think I have any of the problems...
@Phooto Ah, but the main point of our app is that it's really, really simple. We don't even use the GPS...
@Thehappyfatgirl Mornin'.
@Thehappyfatgirl Bristol Raj on Alma Vale. Good curry. Got quite pissed. Yesterday was bit fragile, but I had a sofa/TV companion to help :)
So far, so good: a man has arrived to rip out my kitchen.
@sugarenia No. I have three input devices on this desk, for three different types of doing stuff. Wish I could get away with just one...
@bertpalmer You've never seen me do DIY, have you? I'd probably manage to crowbar a water pipe open.
@thomasvenables He's told me he's going to fit the new one next week, too, so I think arrest may be premature.

@liveindetail I’ll save thousands!
@currybet Solution: program Textexpander to make an hilarious farting noise every time you type <em> into the wrong app ;)
@hayles Are you self-hosted? Running any cacheing plugins?
@hayles Can you get someone to put the "View Source" output of the old page they're seeing somewhere?
@hayles Looks to me like it's W3 Total Cache. If I get the Tiny Animals page, it's served with that. If I get the right one, it's not.
@hayles (And it might depend on the user agent as to which one you get.)
@hayles Perhaps try updating W3 Total Cache. If it's not turned on and you don't want it on, try...
@hayles ...turning it on briefly, clearing the entire cache if there's a button for that, then turning it off.
@hayles Hrm. It might've left rule in your .htaccess file. Depends how you murdered it as to whether those would have been removed properly.
@hayles Do you have any remnants of it in "wp-content/plugins"? Anything with w3 in name, anything mentions cache? Move 'em sideways.
@hayles (And I'll have another go at seeing what gets served.)
@hayles Ouch.
@hayles Dearie me. But no, doesn't look like that would be WP Total Cache, at least.
Hrm. So what's @TheAppBrain, and why are they advertising our paid app for free, given that I've never heard of them..? #confused

@hayles Did you say "things"? Because I happen to be one of the internet's foremost purveyors of "things"! RT TO WIN A THING!

I have a new toy. And it seems to perform bloody well in low light. #60D #ISO3200 http://t.co/KLiNVW6g
@johnfbraun It's the main reason I finally upgraded from the 400D (Rebel XTi, I think they were old as over there.)
@tweeny4 I spend a lot of time in the Clifton Village one, if that's where you are! Haven't been in today, though.
@faerietalefoody Weird; I can see the thumbnail, but I can't get to the full-size image on Twitpic.
@faerietalefoody But yes, I think this is a fine example of where you can judge a book by its cover, by the looks of it.
@matt_fwyalchen No, I'm not entirely sinister :)
@archidave Little Miss Sixty :)
@faerietalefoody Would you mind if I added that one to http://t.co/vrvnsAnz ?

Heading lunchwards.
Back in the garden at BTP. Wearing one more layer than last time.
Nom nom nom. http://twitpic.com/i1lwz
@hayles Everyone? Who else is here? I appear to be sitting next to someone famous, but am too unhip to know who she is?
Now poking around the RWA print exhibition.
The RWA is such a lovely space. http://twitpic.com/i1rj1
@nja yes, I really should go more often. It was this year's membership card dropping through the letterbox that prompted this visit...
@ahnlak Ah, didn't know that.
@hayles Curses. These things always seem to happen a couple of hours _after_ I've walked in another direction with my camera.
Hmm. Feeling a bit headachey. Think I'll go for my run anyway.
@hayles Possibly wise. Clearly, I left BTP too early. Should have stayed all afternoon :)
@shezza_t Oh, I hope so. Not sure I've ever been addicted to anything that's good for me.
Cute sight from my way home from lunch today: http://flic.kr/p/6ZeqXq
@hayles Ta!
@ahnlak My friend Mike uses Carbonite, and I don't think he's ever bumped into a limit. I've not bumped into one on Mozy, either.
@ahnlak They had a Mac client in beta when I was looking around. Nobody else was even close.

Yay! See that: http://is.gd/2Lhy -- I wrote a chunk of that, I did.
