On This Day, 5 July

@BrnyPwll @ArianeSherine Agreed. Especially if combined with depression.

@dangusset They’re an astounding cast of characters, that’s for sure. And one of the reasons I’m reading this is because there’s a significant Bristol connection… I’m allegedly researching for fiction, but no idea what, if anything, might actually appear.

@hayles (Said Matt, soon to be acquired and rebranded as Twitter Tart...)

5 Jul 2011 19:37:18

@hayles I guess they're just trying to bump up the G+ user count by roping in everyone from their existing brands...

@hayles ...at some point I may get around to trying it!

5 Jul 2011 19:40:52

@hayles No, but I don't have time to play at the moment -- don't want to be tempted into distraction!

@tsunimee Well, I would guess their official Twitter account was hacked...

5 Jul 2011 21:04:26

@drewm I have that problem, too. Disabling extensions (completely, not just turning off the individual ones) seemed to fix it.

5 Jul 2011 21:48:45

@Swishrelic Do you follow them?

5 Jul 2011 21:54:27

@RellyAB Heh. Of course, now we know you read your logs and are easily appalled...

5 Jul 2011 21:55:37

@Swishrelic That's the way round it works, though. You have to follow someone for them to be able to send you a DM.

5 Jul 2011 21:59:24

@Swishrelic ...but they don't have to be following you.

5 Jul 2011 22:00:02

@RellyAB What you hadn't mentioned is that that search does actually find a result... Oh well. Everyone needs a hobby. #backingawayslowly :)

5 Jul 2011 22:04:46

@Swishrelic Oh, his account's probably got hacked. There's lots of crap that just sends out DM spam specifically.

5 Jul 2011 22:08:37

@tsunimee Interesting feeling?

5 Jul 2010 00:00:00

@campbellclaret Are there really only two paragraphs in that blog entry, or does the site just not work on iPhones?

@hayles Ahh. For that specific case, I use the Connected Flow Flickr plugin for iPhoto. Odd that it didn't work in the background, though...

5 Jul 2009 00:00:00

@hayles What changed your mind? I know I probably _should_, but the few Firefox extensions I've played with haven't tempted me away yet...
