Well, that was a handy coincidence. Just as I was working out that Wapping Wharf is just that little bit too far for me to get to and from in my lunch hour, I was saved by Imagine That's horsebox cafe at the marina. Great flat white. 😀☕️ #bristol https://t.co/azzyq6GG3a https://t.co/o0nyBbotlQ
Next I would like to see Krysten Ritter play Halo Jones, and then Indiana Jones.

@chubbybannister Sigh. The nice local Building Society we use has decided to consolidate all its Bristol branches there. 😢

@primevideouk Hey, your Monk season eight episode 13 (billed as Mr Monk and the Best Man) is actually episode 14 (Mr Monk and the Badge). Ep 14 is in there twice! Mr Monk would not approve 😀
Can’t work out if that was distant thunder or someone rolling a heavy suitcase down my road.
@invalidname Usually happens just after those “all staff” company briefings. Typically the will to live returns within a day or two.

I wonder how long it'll be before Bristol is just alternating burger joints and sourdough pizza places. And Broadmead.

@matt_fwyalchen @bexxi I think you misspelled “inestimable”.
@FozzTexx I’m feeling dense. Why do those LEDs look like they’re the wrong way round to me?
@HarryMashed @hatsandbikes !? It lets me in, and I’m 43…
@HarryMashed @hatsandbikes Is your date of birth definitely set right in your BBC ID?
@emma_cossey If you miss it, I could pretend to be an elderly relative with a tendency to casual racism?
@HarryMashed @hatsandbikes Heh.
@emma_cossey I would, but I’m too busy writing to my MP about typhoid-ridden badgers being given council houses for free.

Mornin' all.
Photographers: who do you insure your gear with? Recommend them?
@towergate Feedback: you just lost my business as your website did this after I carefully entered my quote request: http://t.co/rA3VJ0brnA
@ahnlak Thanks. Did you ever claim?
@ahnlak Wasn't a bad place to start looking for recommendations, though. And their website works, for extra points. I went with them, ta :)
@liveindetail Oh! I'd forgotten about that. Probably not the best way to head for the M32, then?
@tomasmcguinness Mostly form factor/feel in hand/no great need to upgrade. I'm on an iPhone 5 right now, so I have the 5S as an option...
@tomasmcguinness ...and it's mostly Touch ID and the M7/8 chip that I feel are lacking in what I've got.
@tomasmcguinness Well, indeed. I mean, we don't even have iTunes Radio, so I wouldn't hold your breath for pay. Just get an NFC bank card?
Ah. 20,000 views on that photo today. Guess I hit Explore. That would explain all the beeping devices...
@tomasmcguinness Heh. Can you get one of those stick-on ones? Think Barclays do them...
@tomasmcguinness Not all of us. I don't live in London, so I imagine we'll get Oyster just after we get iTunes Radio :D
@floyduk Thanks.

@danielpunkass I swing both ways :) The OpenGL book I'm working through is an Android one, so that's where I had a skeleton project set up.
@danielpunkass Incidentally, I got an effect I liked a lot by limiting the shading to certain pixels: http://t.co/abEo232wWZ
@globalmoxie Hrm. Would you want to wear something that looked like a watch, but didn't tell the time? Think there has to be a mix for me.
@globalmoxie Wonder if there's a site devoted to the evolution of early watch design? Might be interesting to revisit right now...
So, the Apple TV is up to software version 6.0. And I still can’t make the font size bigger so I can read the show descriptions. Sigh.

I am a lot more glad of Friday arriving this week. (First week back in the office on a short contract…)
@skeddy Yup.
Here's a (moderately expensive) solution to the problem of carrying around heavy camera lenses. http://t.co/9DMsROt5 (via @PetaPixel)
@MsMottram Yup. Only office-bound for four weeks, though.
Think I might walk to work today. Cycling's great, but sometimes I want to chill out a bit more on my journey...

@abbyosullivan “Jeggings”, I reckon.
@abbyosullivan ooh. Weird!
Trying a new bus route home, in a spirit of experiment. So far, win: it actually turned up within five minutes of the timetable.
@liveindetail I was just talking about Porcupine Tree at the weekend. One of Port Erin’s numbers was quite reminiscent of them.
@curtismark Bristol, but not First. You’re probably right, but the route could be handy when it’s less busy. Worth a go…
Well, that bus journey was refreshingly easy. Hello, #hotwells, I'm home! http://t.co/Ykm50TjT
@hayles @mikedunn My bus went through Temple Meads. Must've been heading in the right direction (506 Victoria Street -> CREATE Centre...)
HO YES! #kitchen http://t.co/TGsi1FpD
No gas supply yet, mind. But at least I can do some laundry this weekend :D
@MissRacingSnake Hah! Exterminate that PB...
@hayles I took over Emm's washer for a couple of hours last night, so it's not as bad as it could be :)
@liveindetail They just look it.
@MandinaM It was all someone else's work!
@MandinaM Well, apart from choosing stuff and making tea and providing biscuits.
@TheHomemadeMama @liveindetail they *so* count as prog. ;)

@liveindetail @TheHomemadeMama Plus concept albums. You don’t get much proggier. Saw Fish last year. Still amazing.
Just watched _Untouchable_ at @wshed. Fab film. Good choice, @claireellent!

@robohannah @hannahnicklin I wish there were a good way of favouriting an entire exchange on Twitter.
@rhodri @scissorkicks Just wait till their deliveraptor bursts it through your door. After it's been vannified, obviously.

Hmm. Kindle Touch. Looks like a nice incremental upgrade on the Kindle 3.
@mjh53 In that case, you can get the even cheaper non-touch one (apparently $79.)
@mjh53 Their track record isn't too bad, is it? Kindle 3 3G is $139/£109.
@ahnlak Being announced at the moment. http://t.co/TSsqemMc
@mjh53 @KaveyF @says_arline I'm not so worried about touch/non touch. I'd just like pages to turn faster!
@runkeeper @szajbus Tip #1: Sleep in your jogging clothes. Much easier to get out the door if you're a slow starter like me :D
@ahnlak @mjh53 So unless they suddenly turn into Adobe, I'd hope to see some pretty damn cheap new UK Kindles.
@ahnlak Looks to me like the Touch *is* e-Ink, and the Fire is not. Also a non-Touch which is just an even cheaper e-Ink one.
@ahnlak Well, all the Kindle Touch stuff has been demoing with monochrome stuff on the screen, anyway, which I took as a clue :)
@ahnlak Ah, but does it do that if you're not logged into Google?
@mattgemmell My K3's "good enough" for now compared to the Touch. Fire *might* tempt me, probably as an addition.
Score! New Bryant & May novel just fell through my letterbox :) @peculiar http://t.co/w1S5PEnt
@ahnlak This is normal. It's probably upping that result based on your Google+ network, I'd guess. Never do ranking checks when logged in!
New 6" Wi-Fi #Kindle up on Amazon UK, for £89. Looks like existing Kindle renamed "Kindle Keyboard". http://t.co/aAKJ4aOO
(Which is odd, bearing in mind that the keyboard is, by quite a long way, the Kindle 3's worst feature.)
@fakebaldur UK site just went live with the cheapy 6" one in last few minutes. £89. No sign of the others yet.
@daycoder I like it, but turn to Cyberduck more and more as its S3 capability is better and it's also pretty cute.
@hecticjeff That's because it's the worst keyboard ever made. Good riddance to it!
@daycoder Ah! Well, if you ever need to play with S3, Transmit can basically handle it okay, but Cyberduck does more clever things with it.
@BenPark Having similar issues. Now I'm home during the day I'm finding out how loud music lessons can be at the primary school opposite!
RT @baratunde: Let's just be honest about what Facebook really is, guys: a birthday reminder service masquerading as a social network.
@RellyAB This is what mine looks like, if it's any help. Mine's 27" 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo. Hot, but not burning, to touch. http://t.co/HEuBncM0
@tiny_teapot Have you turned it off and on again?
@Malarkey Bah. Probably about the time we get iCloud music sharing. I'm not holding my breath.
@tiny_teapot SMUG MODE ENABLED. @t_pk
@MatStace Wouldn't be much point, would there? They probably haven't worked out how to use money yet.

@greatdismal RT @Support: Some users Following/Follower counts have zeroed down. We are looking into the issue.Don't worry, they'll be back!
@rabidbee *sigh* I probably should have done, too. Ho hum.
@rabidbee Oh, it's especially joyful now I've got to the download. Not of the product, of course, but of the "Akamai Download Manager".
@RellyAB Cats are in fact a liquid with a surface area roughly the size of Wales. They only go cat-shaped when they need to.
Ta for offering to let me use PayPal for the one item in my cart, then telling me that an item in my cart can't be paid for with PayPal.
And no, I do not want to add your recommended additional product to my cart for a mere £537.24 extra.
Ah. Yes, of course it will cost more to download than to have it shipped to me in a large box.
Okay. I am about to try to give Adobe some of my money. This normally ends up as a difficult and frustrating experience.
@jennifurret Have you never been before? Good luck. See you in four or five hours. Grab a trolley when you hit the Marketplace.
Hmm. I wonder if it's safe to close the two empty Adobe Download Manager windows, or if that'll kill the one that's doing something.
@caitlinmoran Rock and roll! And mulch.
@hayles 36DD? Sorry, bloke brain syndrome.
Yum! My friend Emmeline gave me a pressie of Hobbs House ciabatta after the gig. Win! (Not as random as it sounds; leftovers from her cafe!)
@brandonpittman Libya, I'm guessing...
Just back from seeing @theagilmore. Fab gig!
@theagilmore See you there in a bit :)
@hannahnicklin Oops. It's surprising how many fresh, wrapped vegetables you see at the side of the road, isn't it?
@hannahnicklin either: 1) You put it in the freezer by mistake, or 2) IT'S RIGHT *THERE*, SILLY!
@hayles Personally, because I've not got around to it :) But at least I link to most of my online stuff.
Picked up a couple of bags of the finest South American product from my shady dealer. Thanks, @Lillput! http://yfrog.com/2c20227274j

@vero @whatleydude @robevans Yah, I got one, too. Grr.
@hayles @nickbrompton Sometimes it helps to blag a bit to bootstrap a career. But yes, it helps if you don't seem an obvious blagger.
@hayles @nickbrompton But if you were actively looking for modelling jobs, would you call yourself a model?
@nickbrompton @hayles ...but I can see how you might start off faster if you have a presence from the very start.
@nickbrompton @hayles Everybody's got to start somewhere. I only started calling myself a freelancer after my first paid gigs, though, true.
@hayles That would make me suspect they've not actually been published yet.
@ahnlak That's the plan. This will be my first attempt!
Morning, everyone. http://yfrog.com/n2xxuij
@boagworld Have you two been drinking again?
Anyway. As I said, bedtime. There may be more swearing in the morning if I wake up to error messages from this download mangler.
@matthew_roach @rabidbee Ahh, feel the love.
@rabidbee It's certainly *some* kind of four-letter word.

Back to work with a bump. And having problems not keeping on eating like I'm on holiday. Still, went for run yesterday, at least.
Ugh. Back to work. At least I struggled out early enough to get the boat. Now, I imagine, for a day of crises and email.
