@jdriscoll Pre-Mavericks, hold down Shift while you adjust the sound and it'll do it silently.
@benjohnbarnes @chris_j_hughes I suspect user error. Try turning your thumb off and on again.
@charwarz In my experience, this is a feeling that only grows with the years. I think most programmers have Stockholm syndrome.
@guriben Me too. Only had the one….
@guriben I had that plan but got distracted by the Adam & Eve. Will be trying to hold to two as my max ;)
Hmph. Have swapped secondary smoking outdoors for awful dance music indoors. One day I’ll find an autumn pub that fits.
On the plus side. @ Adam and Eve http://t.co/vFcVqayYw1
That *was* nice. But I miss the simplicity of the 90s, when burgers came on plates rather than skewered to chopping boards with breadknives.
…and you could, you know, just pick them up and eat them.
Still, fantastic chips.

@Antimitch @MsMottram @Bristolvor Thanks all :)
It was a nice evening on the Chocolate Path. Shame it didn't involve any actual chocolate. Ah well. http://t.co/f1Vk9c0SNf
@Bristolvor Thank you. I really must move my daily walk from lunchtime to one or other end of the day for the season. Much better light.
@ef060372 @liveindetail There’s a Berghaus shop in Broadmead. Most of my decent but not extortionate stuff is Berghaus.
@ef060372 @liveindetail Alternatively, Marcruss Stores near me on Hotwell Road often good for cheap-but-decent.
@ef060372 Berghaus is on main bit of Broadmead, from what I remember. On left as you walk toward Cabot from middle bit w/ ring of benches.

Right. Let’s give this coffee I roasted yesterday a try, then…
@Kavey Morning!
@Kavey They were even better for being in stereo.
@domwakeling I've roasted before, but only in a popcorn maker. This is my first time with a proper coffee roaster.
@Dru_Marland CHEE-AK.
Hrm. Think I under-roasted these beans a bit. Taking another swing at it.
@Kavey @domwakeling Slightly different from the current behemoth. http://t.co/0LbWKrtHJK
@shezza_t Yup, too late. Oh well. Will just have to re-watch the original to take the taste out if my brain.
@domwakeling I probably would not have gone to this particular extreme had @Lillput not kindly given me the beast.
@shezza_t Luckily I have it on DVD.

@_dibdib Did you forget to turn your TTL down, or are you waiting for someone else’s?
@adamgasson @livemusicscene Yeah, I used them for my last airport run and they were good.
@_dibdib Ah. Odd how many mainstream providers don’t seem to provide decent controls for that.
@_dibdib Lemme know if you need a second pair of eyes.
@_dibdib Well, they look identical (and correct) from here. Though some changes are still propagating, by the looks of things. 24-hour TTL.
@_dibdib (Which I'm guessing is the same TTL as before the change?)
@_dibdib It's possible they'll change it temporarily if you raise a support call. Some registrars do that to stop people...
@_dibdib ...setting silly values permanently.
@_dibdib (For .coms I normally use Hover -- they don't let you change TTL, but it's set to 15 minutes by default anyway.)
@_dibdib No worries. Lemme know if you want me to try mailing you; might work from here as you're less likely to be cached.

@Dru_Marland Indeed. It probably helps to be in a trade myself where people think, "but it's just a few buttons. How can it cost £20,000?"
@Dru_Marland This week, my plasterer had learned his trade, and also had elbow surgery twice, mostly due to his attention to smoothing...
@Dru_Marland ...there are definitely prices I wouldn't pay to do it myself.
@Dru_Marland So do most computer programmers!
Where's my kitchen, then? *Looks expectantly out of window*
@Mouse_House HELLO FOXY.
@Thehappyfatgirl Depends. What colour is the sock?
I have a new kitchen. Some assembly required. http://t.co/H9pIq0op
(Yes, there is more.) http://t.co/3JxCf580
@utterben Well, if you'd told me that in advance, I wouldn't have booked the fitters...
@BenPark @Thehappyfatgirl Most restaurants do operate at least a two-sock policy, I hear.
.@Caremur It's okay. I will very much *not* be doing the assembly. Very happy to pay fitters, rather than ending up in casualty.
@r0bb1eh @caremur Well, I'm so inept at DIY that I can definitely earn a kitchen fitting faster than I can fit a kitchen.
@Bristolvor There's some more sitting in the kitchen. And some longer bits in the hall. But it's less volume than I was expecting.

@danoliver @khoi But bear in mind the Harmony software is playing up for many under Lion, as I found out today. Grr.
@danoliver @khoi I have the physical remote, too. It's the setting-it-up software that's giving me gyp (and I just bought a new device. :( )
@danoliver Oh, I know it's good -- had the remote for ages -- it's just I can't reprogram it at the mo. Harmony software dead under Lion.
@danoliver Wouldn't have noticed except I bought an Apple TV on Saturday. Bad timing!

@bertpalmer Looks to me like one of those features that might get a bit of attention in the next version. Just barely functional now.
@rstein It's not just replies that are different, is it?
Just set self-made brick tile background on my Twitter page. It's all @talkie_tim's fault.
@bertpalmer It may be very small if you're exporting full-size pictures, but works for me at size I want.
@bertpalmer It's quite limited. But: set the "Copyright" section in the Metadata, then export with box checked.
@bertpalmer You can add a copyright watermark in LR on export; think you have to use the Web export to get borders; maybe customisable...
@russelldavies you're scheming and plotting in Bristol? Should I look for a new volcano with a false top on my way home?
